“Conrad, I wish our children could be as great as you!”In her eyes, Conrad was a great man. He didn’t give up because his parents weren’t living in harmony. He didn’t become a plague to society because of a lack of love.While the path he chose was quite controversial, he didn’t surrender to fate and became someone well-known in Gryphon and Fortunate!She was very impressed!Conrad held Fia, sat on the chair under a parasol, and looked at the wedding. He had made a decision. Once her eyes had recovered, he wanted to give her a large wedding.“Fia, I’m not as good as you think you are,” Conrad said as he watched the process of his cousin’s wedding. “I have weaknesses other than running businesses.”“For example, when I chose to marry you, I didn’t do what a husband should. I mistreated you all this while. Then there's socializing. I’m cold and would easily offend others and make enemies.”Fia held his hand and said, “No one’s perfect. You’re already flawless compared to everyone
“You have to!” Conrad said as he put his finger on her lips. “So you can learn how to hold your breath when diving.”Fia’s eyes turned even red. This womanizer! He was complaining that she couldn’t hold her breath while kissing!...“Do you, Victor Maxwell, take Sapphire Starling to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?”Victor looked at the woman opposite him. She was wearing a white dress and her hair tied up, flowing in the wind.His vision blurred, and the woman in front of her changed her face. It was that disobedient Eileen.He frowned and said, “No, I don’t.”Everyone under the platform was in an uproar, and the woman opposite him was stunned. Her bouquet fell on the ground.She asked again, “What are you talking about, Victor?”Victor shook his head. His vision cleared, and he saw his fiancé Sapphire in front of him. His mood turned sou
Silas said, “I would advise you to complete the marriage first.”At this time, Victor’s parents and Sapphire’s parents and friends had all caught up with him.“What are you doing, Victor?”“What’s more important than your marriage?”“You’ll only be marrying once! How could you leave Sapphire alone like that?!”“There are so many guests here today! How will they look at us after this?!”Victor’s veins on his forehead were popping as he looked at Sapphire, who was still on the platform. Her friends were helping Sapphire to stand. They looked at each other from afar, and she didn’t dare to speak for herself, so she could only place her hope in her friends and family.“It’s just a front. Once I’m done, I’ll grab the marriage certificate with her!”And according to his tone, there was no room for debate. Sapphire had just stood up and almost collapsed when she heard his heartless words.Her friends then asked worryingly, “Maybe... You should go with him?”“No, I need to stay beh
Conrad gulped and said, “Ms. Reid is here.”“What?!” Fia was instantly worried and wanted Conrad to let her down.Conrad's grip on her tightened, and he said, “My people are there. She’ll be fine.”“Is she crying?”“No.”“Please take me to her,” Fia said as she sobbed. She was too worried about Eileen.“Ms. Reid has her freedom. She came to the wedding because she wanted to end things with Victor.”Conrad and Silas exchanged looks, signaling for Silas to take care of Eileen. Afterward, he then turned around and left together with Eileen.There were too many people there. He didn’t want Fia to be their center of attention.“Where are you taking me? Aren’t you taking me to see Eileen?”“Let’s go home for now. Silas will bring her to see you later.”“No! I want to stay with her!”“Fia! You can’t see right now! You can’t help her!” Conrad’s voice was firm, and Fia stopped resisting. He was right. She couldn’t help Eileen when she was blind.... Slap!Eileen slapped Victor
“I’m sorry,” Eileen said, covering her face with her hands. “It’s my fault for being unable to control my emotions and getting you into so much trouble.”Silas replied, “You shouldn’t see Mr. Maxwell again before you leave the country.”“I won’t.” She had given up. She personally went to his marriage so that she could get some closure....At the mansion, Fia kept pestering Conrad.“When is Eileen coming?” Fia asked for the umpteenth time since she and Conrad had returned to the mansion.Conrad’s expression darkened. He was really jealous of Eileen’s position in Fia's heart.He would want to take away Fia’s memory of her if he could.“Did you lie to me, Conrad?” Fia was becoming increasingly anxious to the point that she was pinching Conrad’s arm.Conrad then looked at Silas’s position on his phone and said, “They're almost here.”He had just finished saying it, and a honk could be heard from outside. Fia quickly stood up, “Is that Eileen?”Conrad sighed as he stood up a
Conrad nodded and walked into the hotel without looking anywhere else.In the lobby, Victor had already drunk three glasses of water as if he was on fire. When he saw Conrad walking over, he slammed the glass on the table and looked at him with eyes that could spew fire.“Oh, are you that angry?” Conrad said as he sat opposite of him and threw the document over. “Read it.”Victor grabbed the document and simply slammed it on the table. He wasn't in the mood to read it.“Be direct. What will it take for you to give Eileen back to my company?”“There are so many female celebrities here. What’s so special about Eileen?”Victor was stunned by the question. Conrad didn't wait long for Victor to respond and sneered, “You don't even know yourself! All you wanted to do was to make her stay with you. Aren’t you worried that you’ll force her to commit suicide?”“I told you. My private affairs are none of your business.”“If Ms. Reid wasn'tFia’s best friend, I wouldn’t have bothered,” C
Annie’s eyes brightened when she understood Victor's words. “You’re family!”“Yes,” Victor smiled widely. “Did you want to join the Maxwell Corp as a translator?”“Yes! Since you’re his cousin, does that mean you’re also working in the corporation? Are you the assistant CEO? Manager? Could I ask you something?” Annie asked excitedly and happily.“I started my own business, so I no longer manage the Maxwell Corp. But I can help you with your job application.”“Really? I’m so grateful! But I don’t want to get you into too much trouble. I was just worried that large companies emphasized a lot in working experience. I didn’t work much but I can speak a few foreign languages. You rest assured that I have the necessary abilities!”“I can help you with the work experience.”“That’s great!”“I might need your help later on too.”“Don’t worry. If you need my help, I won’t reject it!’Victor took out his mobile and added Annie’s contact details. He then saw her off with a gentle smile.
“Alright. I’ll tell Silas to arrange it.”“Thank you.”Conrad held Fia’s chin and kissed her lips.“If you want to thank me, will you carry out your wifely duties for me?”“Sure,” Fia said as she kissed his lips. She was so embarrassed that even her breathing started to get chaotic.Conrad enjoyed her careful advances. After a short while, he turned into the tables on her and carried her upstairs for a midday rest.... Eileen ensured she was fully covered as she took the elevator back to her apartment. As she stepped out of the elevator, she caught sight of a person in front of her apartment.She quickly turned to hide.However, the man had seen her. He flicked away the cigarette butt, chased after her, and trapped her against the wall with both hands.“Why are you running?”“Let me go!” Eileen stared back.Victor’s blood was surging as he grabbed her by the throat.“Where were you with Conrad’s assistant after the wedding?!”“That has nothing to do with you!”“Ha!” V
