“Who asked you to find me?”Fia was trying to find her phone while carefully speaking with the man to distract him.“How much is that person paying you? We can talk about this. I can pay double so that I’m unharmed.”The man slowed down, as if thinking about Fia’s offer.“Will that work?” Fia said in a careful and honest tone, so that she wouldn’t anger the driver.“Quiet!” The man let out a low, agitated roar, as if he was irritated by something. “It’s not about the money. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not knowing your own social station and offending someone else!”Fia remained silent. She already had the phone in her hand.She had just wanted to press on the emergency call when someone called in.“What are you doing?!” The man suddenly turned to the roadside and stopped, while extending his hand to grab Fia’s purse.Fia quickly pressed to answer the call and heard someone say, “Hello.” She didn’t have time to consider who it was before screaming, “Help! S
Lyn was shocked.“Darn it! You don’t want to live anymore, do you?!” The man brutally turned the wheel toward the fence by the road.However, he stepped on the brake at the last moment when he remembered his old mother.The car flipped over, and the windows shattered.The man crashed his head into the steering wheel and lost consciousness!Fia flew out from the windshield and rammed into the fence before falling to the ground like a ragdoll.Lyn was wearing her seatbelt, and she had managed to hold the handle when it happened. So despite her bruises, she was mostly fine.“Fia…”Seeing Fia thrown out of the vehicle, she was so anxious that she teared up. She wanted to release the seat belt but realized that her arm was in so much pain that she couldn’t use any strength.The sky was getting cloudier and darker as raindrops began to fall. The heavy rain came unexpectedly.Fia didn’t know how long she had fainted. She woke up from her pain as the rain fell on her.However, there
The drumming of the rain filled Fia’s ears. The voice that suddenly came made her eyes tremble.She looked at the man in the white shirt. Her vision was still blurred as she smiled.“You’re here, Conrad?”Jason was stunned as he choked. He didn’t correct her.He carefully picked her up and put her into the back seat. He glanced at the car that was flipped over and called 911 for an ambulance and the police.“Look, sir! That’s Doctor Evans’ car!”Conrad turned around and saw a black Bentley. He had one as well.However, after he noticed that Jason drove the same car as he did, he abandoned the black Bentley in the garage.“Sir, why is he here in the countryside? Is he related to why the madam is here?” Silas asked.Conrad looked at his phone, and the GPS signal was not moving.“Forget about him!”In a few minutes, they arrived at the scene of the accident. Conrad and Silas ran toward it once they got out of the car.They only saw the driver laying on the steering wheel with
Half an hour had passed and the door to the examination room finally opened. When the director saw Conrad waiting at the door, he looked around instinctively but didn’t see Jason.“How’s my wife?!” Conrad broke the director’s search.“Doctor Hall can explain it to you. I have something else to attend to.” The director didn’t like Conrad that much. He was worried that Conrad had harassed Jason again.“You!”“Mr. Maxwell.” Sally quickly walked out of the room. “Don’t worry. Fia doesn’t have any serious injuries from this car accident. There are no internal injuries or bone cracks. At most, there are a few bruises and cuts from the broken glass.”“I want to see her!” Conrad pushed Sally away and walked in.A doctor and a nurse were bandaging Fia’s wounds.Her shirt had been removed and she was lying on her stomach on the hospital bed, her back completely red and there were still some glass fragments on her back.The nurse was retrieving those glass fragments when her hand trembled
“Why did she say good luck?” Conrad asked curiously.Fia narrowed her eyes as she smiled, not letting Conrad know that she had regained some of her vision.She said, “Maybe because she saw that you’re treating me especially well now, not like in the past when you kept on hurting me.”“If I can wind back time, I’d never ask for a divorce.”Once they were at the ward, Fia lay there with a frown.Thanks to the medicine on her back, she was in pain.Her hands grabbed at the bed sheet, but she didn’t cry out.Conrad looked at her and remembered Jason.He wanted to explain to Fia that the person that got to her was Jason, not him.But he was afraid. He was afraid that if he said that, Fia would be even more regretful toward Jason.He kept on reading articles from some of the so-called dating experts on the web. He saw something that went along the lines of “Guilt and regret, after a long time, can become love”.He was afraid that her guilt toward Jason would become love, and she w
“How did you know that I was playing with your phone?”Fia blinked and lied, mumbling, “I heard Silas give you my phone.”Silas was confused. “I didn’t say anything of the sort?”“Is that so? Then you must have forgotten about it. Silas, you must be working very hard to the point of forgetfulness.”Silas scratched his head, still confused.He had forgotten?Conrad looked at Fia suspiciously. He felt that something wasn’t right. But looking at her calm expression, nothing felt out of place.Meanwhile, Fia was complaining inside. ‘You used my phone for so long. Even though I have severe myopia, I definitely didn’t see it wrongly!”“Where’s my phone?” She extended her hand.Conrad immediately placed the phone on her palm.She held it and snorted. “And you said that you didn’t use my phone… It’s all hot right now!”Conrad scratched his nose. He miscalculated.“Now. Be honest. What did you do to my phone?”Silas looked at Conrad pitifully before interrupting, saying, “Mr. Maxwe
“It hurts!”“You know that it hurts too?” But Peter didn’t stop after that. Instead, he exerted more force to crush Esme’s leg.“This is my last warning. If you start any trouble and provoke anyone again, I’ll personally send you to Conrad Maxwell!”He moved his foot away and then squatted down, holding her red face. “Also, take good care of your face. If you drink any more wine, you’ll definitely fail your plastic surgery and your face will end up destroyed!”Esme’s chest tightened and she grabbed Peter’s wrist.“Don’t you like me? Love me?”Peter’s eyes narrowed and looked at her quietly.“I’m curious. You love me so much… Why must you change my face to someone else’s?”“That’s because…” He swallowed. “Changing that face of yours can save your life!”He held her chin tightly. “Now, calm yourself down. If you go crazy again, I’ll abandon you too!”With that, he bent over and bit her red lips until it bled.The only reason that he chose Britney to be her scapegoat was becaus
The reason she didn’t tell him that her vision had improved was so that she could give him a surprise when her sight got completely restored.Lips and lips touched. He held her face and slowly opened her lips.He growled. “Is this much better?”Fia felt something explode in her mind. She was embarrassed, but she felt sweet as well.It was the first time that he kissed her like this after their marriage.It made her feel cherished.Conrad’s hand slipped to the back of her head as he gently held her, and he also kissed her softly, as if wanting to heal all the wounds inside her heart.A long time passed before Fia eventually pushed him away as she felt it was getting harder to breathe.“Still tastes bland, Fia?”She touched her slightly plump lips. “I don’t know what you’re saying.”“Want more practice?” Conrad joked.“You… Why are you so lecherous all of a sudden?” Fia said with a face red from embarrassment.Conrad chuckled. “Then, do you still want to eat something spicy?”
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
