“Are you trying to lie to me, Conrad? Lie to me despite our long relationship for Fia? You want to force me to admit to something I never did?”

Esme’s tears continued to flow as she sobbed pitifully.

Conrad simply stared at her as the discomfort within him became stronger.

Even Silas felt disgusted and couldn’t help but say, “What are you trying to say, Ms. Manning? Didn’t Mr. Maxwell treat you well enough? If you didn’t fake all those scenes whenever you fought with the madam and we discovered it, would we even suspect you?!”

“I didn’t!” Esme painfully denied it. “The car accident that Fia’s involved in has nothing to do with me.”

She then stood up and said, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll kill myself to prove my innocence!”

She turned around and pretended to want to ram into the wall. Hank and Beth quickly stopped her.

The old couple glared at Conrad angrily.

Hank yelled, “Conrad, aren’t you pushing her too much?!”

Beth said, “Esme came back from overseas for you and gave up

    “Ah!” Lola was scratched on the face and a bloody wound immediately made its appearance.“Continue,” Conrad simply said in a terrorizing tone.Silas walked over and pulled Esme away so that she couldn’t stop Lola.“When I saw Fia that day at the hospital, I was thinking of getting her into the van. But… I don’t know why but Fia suspected me and offered me something, so I changed my mind and told my cousin to stop.”Conrad raised his hand and massaged his head.He remembered. Fia invited Lola to dinner that day.His feelings were a bit complex. In order to deal with someone else, she had used him to seduce other women.How could she be that generous? Did she not care about him? Her husband?“Ms. Manning didn’t pay anything to us afterward because she blamed us for not being able to finish the job, so after Fia had paid a deposit, I told my cousin to find a way to make her confess her schemes. But maybe because they felt that they had been toyed with by Ms. Manning, they made the

    Conrad looked at her as memories from the past began to resurface.When he was younger, he provoked many people. On campus. From the community.He fought everywhere he went.While she was gentle and subservient.She would be goaded by a lot of others because of him.There was this one time after class, she was forced into an alley and was almost…“Conrad, despite our love, how can you treat me so cruelly? I… I would rather die back when I was seventeen!”When she was seventeen… That was the time when she was almost…It was after that that he wanted to better protect her. He held her in his arms and made that promise to her.That was how the two of them confirmed their relationship.But what he didn’t know was that another girl was also stopped in an alley that night and was beaten up.If it wasn’t because she was too young and too thin, it would have been even worse for her.The girl didn’t dare to go to school for half a month because of that.She refused to tell her moth

    “Will do.”…A short while after Eileen left, Jason quickly led Sally into Fia’s room.When the door was opened, Conrad wanted to follow but Sally stopped him.Sally said, “Don’t come in and make a mess!”She then closed the door with a bang and it almost hit Conrad’s nose.He gritted his teeth and waited.The curtain was once again pulled and no one from the outside could see what was happening inside.The woman on the bed began to stir. Her eyelids slowly fluttered open.Her eyes seemed to have lost their light as she looked at the ceiling and the light numbly.“How are you feeling, Fia?” Jason whispered.Fia’s eyes trembled as she mechanically turned her head.When her eyes met Jason's that were filled with worries, she instinctively smiled.“Fia… You don’t know how worried Doctor Evans was for you. He hasn’t slept after your surgery!”Fia wanted to say something but realized that she had an oxygen mask on, so she simply closed her mouth.Sally held her icy hands and

    Fia immediately shook her head. “No.”There was pain in her eyes.“I want to be alone.”Jason froze as he gulped.“You knew?”Fia smiled as she slowly put her hand on her tummy. There was only loneliness in that smile.How could she not know?She was given a pad in the middle of the night. She had noticed that something was flowing as soon as she woke up.It didn’t even bleed that bad when she was in danger of losing her baby.When the car flipped over, she had felt the crushing pain from her womb.“Fia…” Jason said with hesitation. “Don’t think too much. Take care of yourself. You can still have a baby.”She shook her head.“No.”A surprise became a scare, and it became a chance for others to scheme and harm her.She couldn’t retain the child in the end.Once was more than enough.When Jason saw that she was in no mood to speak, he said, “Rest well, then. I’ll buy chicken and make some soup for you. You can have some later tonight.”Fia stopped smiling and said nothin

    “Then rest well and don’t get too agitated. We can talk more later.”He pulled the curtains, left the ward, and stayed guard outside.Fia opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling numbly.Conrad left without saying anything else. To her, it was proof that he didn’t know how to get it through his wife.Maybe, he didn’t even want to find an effort to get it through her.The person that he was in love with had always been Esme Manning. And what did that make her?She slowly drifted into sleep as her mind wandered.… “Why didn’t you tell me that Fia is already awake?” Eileen said with annoyance when she saw Conrad sitting on a bench in the corridor early in the morning when she returned.She blinked, and blinked again. She was shocked.“Why are you smoking in the hospital?!”Conrad glared at her coldly and extinguished the cigarette that he smoked halfway by planting it on the back of his leather shoe. He then got up and threw it into the bin.Eileen looked at him with disdain

    Fia smiled coldly. All she could think of was the image on the screen that she saw on the day of her accident.A handsome man in a black suit and a woman in a tight red dress. How matching were they?And her?When she got married to him, she never received anything like that.“You’re lying. You had the entire city’s reporters over just for an engagement with her and broadcasted it to the entire city of Gryphon, and you dare say that you treat me as your wife?”Conrad knew that if he didn’t explain anything, Fia would have continued to blame him.He quickly said, “The only reason I did that was for them to retract their statements and cancel the court case!“The testimonies from those people and the record of your transfer was extremely disadvantageous for you! I had no choice but to agree to the Mannings’ demand!”Fia frowned as she began to feel confused. She didn’t know what was true anymore.She then remembered something and said coldly, “Then, do you know that Eileen had a

    Before Eileen left, she closed the door for the two of them.She knew that despite how calm Fia was presenting herself, she still loved Conrad deeply.If Conrad could wake up, she wouldn’t mind if Fia wanted to give him another chance.Because giving Conrad a chance was the same as Fia giving herself another chance.Unlike her, she had no chance from the very beginning.“I’ll help you with the chicken soup.”Conrad raised the bed a bit more so that Fia wouldn’t hurt that much when she sat up.Fia’s mind was filled with the news about Conrad sending Esme to the police station as she stared at him numbly.“Here, open your mouth.” It was rare for him to be so patient. He was also being genuine.Fia opened her mouth and he quickly fed her a spoonful of chicken soup.She could taste the carrots and onions from the soup. It was delicious.It reminded her of Jason.Even an outsider could treat her so well. Her husband was simply doing his duty.Not to mention that Esme had it com

    “Why are you still smoking?” Sapphire looked at Conrad’s pockets. She could see the pack of cigarettes.Conrad didn’t explain. Instead, he openly took out a cigarette and sat. He put it into his mouth and lit it up.“What is it?”“I’m here to visit Fia. But I can hear that she’s still angry. I guess I shouldn’t go in.”Sapphire took out an envelope and stuffed it into Conrad’s hand.Conrad could feel the weight of the envelope. There were at least a thousand dollars in there.“You don’t have the right to say no. This is for Fia. Buy her something nutritious.”“You think I wouldn’t get her food?”“It’s from me,” Sapphire said as she chose a seat that was two seats away from Conrad and sat down.“Last time I was here, I said something that was unkind to her. Please apologize to her on my behalf.”Conrad tossed the envelope and it fell on the seat in between them. “I got it. Take the money back.”“Why are you so bullheaded, Conrad? She’s your wife. I’m representing your family

    She was not worthy of him.Right from the start."Wait a moment."She lowered her head to treat the wounds of a mother and son, then stood up with the medical kit and smiled at him."Shall I treat you to a meal?""Sure."She led him through the damp and moldy alley to a shabby restaurant.She ordered two bowls of noodles in the local language, sat down at the old table, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it vigorously.Conrad looked at her. It was obvious that she was different from before.She had gone through hardship, suffering, despair, and then settled down.The noodles were not delicious. There was no oil or salt, and even the soup was bland and tasteless.He looked at her sallow face and said, "Is this what you've been eating the whole year you’ve been here?""This is considered a good meal." Annie did not complain and said that she usually just ate some steamed buns.The conditions here were poor and backward in various ways.Moreover, Lucifer was determined to ma

    Fia stood on the streets, looking at the photos and remembering what Lucifer had once mentioned."When everything is over, how about I take you, Adrian, and Irene on a trip?"The man's blue eyes were like the sea, looking at her deeply.She fell into a daze for a moment back then.After coming back to her senses, she replied without emotion, "You should find a partner and travel around the world, and I should live a good life with my children."The sound of car horns on the road brought Fia back from her thoughts.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds and remembered the beggar boy she met on the bridge when she was a child.If he hadn't been taken away that day, would it have been different if he managed to wait until she and her mother went to find him?The days ahead were still very long, and she was not sure whether she would be able to live peacefully with Conrad in the future.But she would never swallow her anger like she did before.Later, Conrad, a decisive char

    Irene whimpered, turned around, and hugged Adrian. "Adrian, does Daddy not want us anymore?""No, don't talk nonsense! Didn't you hear what Daddy just said?""I heard him, but why do we have to choose? I won't be happy no matter who Mommy marries.""Shut up!" Adrian was a little anxious. If this silly sister of his said in front of everyone that their mommy could marry two men, it would be over!"Why shut up? Why can't we be with Mommy, Daddy, and our biological dad..."Adrian immediately covered her mouth. He knew that this sister of his could not speak normal words!Everyone in the audience also had mixed emotions. Those who originally complained about Lucifer’s actions all became quiet at this moment.With Lucifer’s blessings, Conrad took off the mask.Fia looked at him, tears rolling down her face.How much she had wished to have a wedding back then. She did not expect it to be so many years late.Conrad said with difficulty, "I didn't expect him to do this either."He w

    "Do you really want to stop the wedding?" Lucifer smiled half-heartedly, looking at him like a fool.***"What's going on? Why hasn't the groom come yet?" Everyone couldn't help discussing.Fia stood on the stage and exchanged looks with the emcee.Both of them were a little tired from standing.The emcee asked her awkwardly, "The groom?""He should be coming soon." After Fia finished speaking, the wind blew and revealed her face under the veil. "Just wait."The emcee cursed internally. 'It's really rare to have a wedding with such a beautiful bride kept waiting.'Fia fiddled with the veil on her head to cover her face, making her hazy beauty even more attractive.Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, the music suddenly changed to a more passionate one.The groom appeared.Wearing a black suit with gold threads and a blue rose on his chest, the six-foot-two man wore a golden mask on his face.With just one glance, Fia’s heart suddenly jumped and her body temperature bec

    The two kids could only rush back to find their mother and tell her what happened.Fia did not panic. "You were raised by Daddy. Don't you trust him? He is a man who keeps his promises. He said he is just inviting them to the wedding, so they are just attending the wedding."Even though she was suspicious in her heart, she would not speak ill of him to her two children.This island belonged to Lucifer, and his spies were everywhere.If he was infuriated, no one stood to gain anything from it."But that person was not arranged to sit down. He was taken into the woods," Adrian said anxiously.Fia turned to look at her son. "Are you worried about him?"Adrian could not look directly at her.Irene spoke first. "I'm the one who’s worried. I don't want them to fight.""Oh." Fia reassured them. "It should be fine. Today is a special day. Your daddy will not want to see blood."She thought Lucifer was simply afraid that Conrad would cause trouble, so he brought him to the island to l

    Amused, Lucifer said, "Those people are not under my command.""They gave you all the companies under their names. You said you'd let bygones be bygones, but if you go back on your word, how will your subordinates see you?"Fia’s eyes were a little arrogant.Lucifer’s expression turned cold and he stared at her and said, "How important do you think Hellish Training Camp is to me?""Then give it away!" Fia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of teasing.Lucifer was speechless for a couple of seconds and explained to her seriously in a rare instance, "Those people have sacrificed a lot since they started following me. I can't ignore them. Except one day when there is a more suitable successor. I will take the initiative to give up my position.""Then you have to lead them well." Fia smiled slyly.Lucifer gritted his teeth with hatred. "Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a housekeeper. From now on, must everything I do have your permission?"Fia said, "Invisible shackles."On

    "I got it.""Thank you, Daddy!" Adrian kissed him twice on the face. "My sister and I will take care of you until you die.""Hahahaha!" Lucifer could not stop laughing. "Okay, I'll wait until you two grow up to see me off."He smiled while carrying Adrian and walked to Fia and Irene.Irene was eating something and said vaguely, "Adrian’s temper is getting worse now, and he lost his temper with me.""Who is angry with you!" Adrian slid off Lucifer. "Who do you think you are, that you can influence me?""Mommy, Adrian is shouting at me!" Irene pouted.Adrian turned his back. "Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore."Lucifer and Fia looked at Irene."Mommy, Daddy, what are you looking at me for?" Irene blinked, looking innocent.Lucifer sat down beside her. "Adrian should love you, but you should also respect him.""Didn't I respect him?" Irene was a little confused.Fia said, "While I'm still here, you just spread rumors that he is angry with you."Irene replied, "But he was

    Eileen returned to the living room."Is she really going to marry Lucifer?" Victor asked nervously.Eileen remained silent.Victor threw the spatula in his hand. "Can't you stop her for a bit?""Why should I stop her? No matter who she marries, she will always be my best friend!" Eileen said angrily. "Whoever wants to stop her should stop her on their own!"Victor saw that she was angry and quickly picked up the spatula. "I'm going to cook."Eileen rolled her eyes at him, sat on the sofa, and scrolled through her phone.Thinking of Adrian and Irene, she could not help but feel a little irritable.What if Fia and Lucifer had a child in the future?For the happiness of the two children, she forwarded the photo sent by Fia to Conrad.After Conrad received the photo, he immediately ordered everyone under him to put down all work and find the location in the photo.Three days later.The wedding on the island was beautifully decorated, dreamy and gorgeous, with Lucifer’s involvem

    Soon, Fia knew what they were doing with just a little of the decoration showing.Decorating the wedding venue.Irene was a little girl who was very happy when she saw balloons and pink ribbons.She ran over and grabbed them, but her brother, Adrian, slapped her little hand."Don't cause trouble!""So beautiful! These uncles and aunts were invited by Daddy. Can't I play with these things?"Adrian pinched her cheek and said, "That's Daddy decorating the wedding scene for Mommy!""What?" Irene immediately retracted her hand and said with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Adrian rubbed her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Don’t simply meddle. It should be beautiful when it's done."Irene nodded, took her brother’s hand and hid under a nearby coconut tree, and spent the whole day doing nothing except cooking and watching them.By evening, the dreamy and beautiful wedding scene was mostly completed.Irene leaned against her brother and asked dully, "Daddy and Momm
