Esme’s funeral.

Fia changed into a black attire. Her long hair had been tied up and was held by a wooden hairpin. She wore no accessories.

Her face was pale, and she looked slender and frail.

When she appeared at the cemetery, the Lawsons and Manning looked at the two of them, their eyes filled with various kinds of emotions.

Fia couldn’t see their expressions. All she could do was hold Conrad tightly and follow him.

Conrad’s eyes looked at the photo on the tombstone.

The woman in the picture smiled gently.

He felt disgusted!

“Did you see her?” Fia suddenly stopped and asked the man next to her.

“I did.” Conrad looked at all the people surrounding them, his eyes cold and expression violent.

He was making a statement. If any of them said anything they shouldn’t to Fia, he would make them regret their whole lives!

Hank’s company had declared bankruptcy and his assets were seized. He now stood there without strength, and the Mannings didn’t dare to say a word.

“Conrad, let’s g

    They’re family… They had the same blood. They’re an extension of their parents.But now… Everything changed when she married Conrad.“Fia.”The man’s voice hummed in her ears as she bit her lips.Conrad held her and lowered his head. Their foreheads met.“I’m your family. You’re not alone.”Fia’s eyes trembled and the tears fell.Conrad wiped her tears away and picked her up, then walked out of the cemetery as all of them looked.Just as they were almost in the car, someone called out from behind. “Fia! Wait!”Fia’s uncles, Wallace, Douglas, and Hector Lawson, called out to her.She patted Conrad’s arm and said, “Let me down.”Conrad put her down and then glared at Fia’s uncles warily.”The three of them looked at Conrad. Their expressions turned sour when they thought about Esme.All of them believed that he was the bringer of misfortune!“Fia, there’s something we want to say to you.” Wallace glanced at Conrad. “Can we go somewhere else?”Fia smiled, but it was insin

    The three of them stared at Conrad, wanting to say something, but he didn’t give them a chance at all and simply walked over to the other side of the car, got into the car, and started the engine.He revved the engine just so the three would get some smog on their faces before leaving.“That boy… He did that intentionally, didn’t he?!”“He’s such a ruffian. Fia must be blind!”“She’s going to suffer eventually! Esme is an example!”Douglas and Hector looked at Wallace and asked, “How are we going to explain to the director, Wallace?”Wallace scoffed. “What else can we say? Just tell him what happened! Fia’s not a child anymore. We can’t control how she thinks!”“The Parkers are extremely powerful and influential in the capital.” Hector sighed. “It would be good if she managed to go back.”Wallace shook his head. “The more powerful and influential the family is, the more people there are, too. She’s going to suffer somewhat if she goes back!”The three of them could only sigh.

    “Rest? What rest?!” Beryl instantly shifted her attention from Eileen to Fia.She glanced at him and said, “Can’t she walk herself, Conrad? She needs you to pick her up now?!”Conrad glared at her coldly. “Watch your tone, Mother.”“Just what did she do to seduce you like this? She’s blind! Why haven’t you divorced her yet!”Conrad didn’t want to waste his breath on her and said, “Mrs. Taylor, send her away!”“Master Maxwell, I… Well…” Mrs. Taylor was having a headache.Yes, she didn’t like Beryl too, but she was Conrad’s birth mother after all. She couldn’t get rid of her just like that.“I’ll do it!” Eileen huffed and puffed away and came back with a broom in her hand.She held the broom high and yelled at Beryl, “Scram! Or I’m going to sweep you out of this place!”“Who do you think you are? This is my son’s house and I’m his mother!”“With a mother like this, I pity him!” Eileen gritted her teeth. “You either scram or I’m going to give you a hand!”With that, she pounced

    “As a wife and as a daughter-in-law, how can you act like that?!”Beryl was very unhappy. She gave birth to that boy! Shouldn’t he side with her without question?!“Haha… Of course. I can’t compare myself with you!” Fia sneered back. “Why haven’t I realized that you could be so generous? Finding work for the daughter of a relative of yours? Or do you want to make her your son’s lover?”Eileen burst out laughing. “True! She’s obviously a bad mother-in-law! There’s no need to pretend!”“You…!” Beryl was so angry that her face turned red. “Conrad, are you deaf? Can’t you hear what she’s saying to me?!”Conrad then said, “Go back to the family residence.”“Are you my son or her son?!”“Do I have to indulge you without limit just because you’re my mother?!”Conrad’s eyes became cold as he stared at his own birth mother.Beryl looked at Conrad in disbelief. “But… But didn’t you hear what she said about me?!”“It’s what you deserve!” Conrad said in a heavy tone.The two of them sta

    “Mrs. Taylor, tell the driver outside to come in. Send her back to the family residence! From now on, she’s not allowed to step into this house!”“Conrad Maxwell!” Beryl screamed as she felt her blood pressure shoot up. She was almost fainting.However, Conrad didn’t want to look at her anymore. He walked over to Fia and picked her up.Fia was shocked by his sudden movement and yelped as she grabbed his well-toned arm.“Ms. Reid, do as you wish. I’m taking Fia up to have some rest.”Eileen nodded numbly. To be honest, she was touched by what Conrad had said.If Victor could be like Conrad… Even if only one-third of it… She was willing to be his underground lover forever!Beryl walked out of the mansion angrily and glared at Mrs. Taylor holding the luggage.“Don’t think I didn’t know what you’re planning to do, Mrs. Taylor!”Mrs. Taylor lowered her head and said nothing.If she were to be angered, it would make her life difficult too.“Hmph! You’ve been protecting that whore

    Looking into the woman’s beautiful yet confused eyes, Conrad could feel his throat becoming dry. He really wanted to have her at this moment.He wanted to use his gentleness to make her feel how much he cared for her.“Fi… I missed you,” He bit her earlobe, giving her a sign.“Ahchoo!”Fia blushed, thankful for her sudden sneeze.“Are you cold?” Conrad immediately covered her with the blanket and looked at the air conditioner. “The temperature’s too low?”“Yes, it’s a little cold.”Conrad quickly got out of bed and increased the temperature by two degrees. When he looked at her again, he no longer had the fire in him.“Then sleep a bit. I’ll make you something warm.”“Sure.” She didn’t catch a cold, but she was thankful that he was not around her. That way, her heart could stop thumping uncontrollably.”“Where’s Fia?” Eileen asked nervously when he saw Conrad walk down on his own.Conrad glanced at her and said, “She’s not feeling well, so I’m going to make her some tea.”

    After she went in, Eileen sat down by the bed and held her hand.Fia moved over with a smile.“I thought about something, Eileen.”“What is it?”“Don’t tell Victor that you already found a new job. I’m worried that if he found out, he would try to stop you. Then, you can’t leave early anymore.”Eileen nodded. “I believe so too. Once I have the time to speak with the people from that company, I’m going to leave when he least expects it.”“That’s for the best!” Fia agreed.Eileen looked at how relaxed she was and she patted her head.“That’s why I need to go back to work for a while. Once I’ve gone to his wedding, I’m going to leave.”Fia was stunned. She wasn’t expecting the two of them to separate so soon.“So that he doesn’t suspect anything. I’m going to work very hard to lower his suspicion,” Eileen said. She then whispered to Fia, as she was very worried about her, “I can’t accompany you anymore. Are you okay staying here on your own?”Fia’s eyes shook, but she smiled an

    Fia drank the water, and the saltiness in her mouth finally disappeared.As she couldn’t see how gloomy Eileen was, all she could say to alleviate the awkwardness was, “Let’s try some other dishes.”“I’m not a lab rat!” EiIeen put down her fork. She didn’t dare to give it another try even if she was starving.Conrad took his fork and tried the second dish.His expression turned dark and he tried the third, the fourth, and then the soup.He was almost sent to the afterlife by his own cooking.He could learn anything quickly, but he was like a complete fool when it came to cooking.“Forget about what I said. Fia can’t use you as a butler with the kind of cooking skills you have!” Eileen looked at Conrad, worried. “Just hire a cook, please. Otherwise, Fia will die from being poisoned!”“Alright,” Conrad agreed. He could continue learning how to cook, but he couldn’t mistreat Fia because of this.Once he was very good at cooking, he could then cook for her.Fia immediately said,

    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
