When they were nearing the airport, Sapphire pulled out a mirror to touch up her makeup and fix her hair.When she was done, she asked, "Does Victor know that Ms. Reid is leaving tonight?"Conrad replied, "He doesn't.""What makes you so sure Ms. Reid didn't tell him?"Fia said somewhat wearily, "Eileen is not the kind of person you think she is.""Is that so?" Sapphire said with a soft laugh. "I've held animosity toward her since the first time I laid eyes on her. However, I never dared go against her directly or ask more about her... Do you know why, Fia?"Fia blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering at the motion."Because Victor never gave you that right.""Yeah. I knew you'd understand me. After all, weren't you afraid to offend Esme when Conrad went crazy over her?"Conrad frowned deeply and glanced at Fia from the corner of his eyes. He lifted one hand from the steering wheel and tried to touch her with it, but Fia simply turned sideways to avoid it despite being unable t
After over ten minutes, Sapphire ran out of the VIP room looking fragile.Conrad saw that her emotions were not quite right and was fearful that something would happen to her on the road, so he said to Silas, "Send her back!"“Very well, sir.”Fia immediately ran toward the VIP door, knocking her head on the wall and then holding it while exclaiming in pain.Conrad directly picked her up by the waist. “What are you running for? It’s not like I’m not letting you enter!”“Hmph!”“Are you angry at me?”“How would I dare to be? When Mr. CEO lights up, he can burn everyone to death!”Fia’s mood was clearly not too great.Conrad thought about what Sapphire had said in the car.He carefully said. “I did not go crazy for Esme Manning.”“Really?” Fia cracked a smile and sneered.Conrad looked at Eileen who was in the VIP room and said, “Let’s talk about our matters when we get back. You should see Ms. Reid.”Fia struggled in his embrace a couple of times before sliding down.Eilee
Victor frowned. “What’s all this nonsense!”“I just saw you. I saw you driving toward the airport! Turn around immediately! You’ll see me the moment you turn back!”Victor replied, “Wait for me to return before discussing anything!”“Victor, let me tell you. If you dare to see Eileen now, I will immediately call for a press conference and expose that she interfered in our marriage and became your mistress!”“You wouldn’t dare!”“Try me!” After finishing, Sapphire hung up. Her usually gentle face was extremely ferocious.Silas found a suitable spot to park the car and ran over.“Ms. Starling, it is not safe at night. Please let me send you back!”“No need! Victor will come and pick me up!” Her gaze was a little manic. “He won’t dare not to!”Silas looked at Sapphire oddly. When women went crazy, it was really scary. Anyone of them could become a psycho.He needed to treat his girlfriend a little better. Otherwise if she went crazy at some random middle of the night, she might
Conrad did not reply. He stood up and held Fia’s hand.“Fia, I have something on, so we have to leave.”Fia could feel that something must have happened and she obediently got up.“Eileen, I wish you a safe trip, and return in glory.”“Alright!” Eileen’s emotions were a little chaotic. Looking at her phone, she saw a couple of missed calls, all of them from Victor.Conrad had left in a rush. Did something happen to Sapphire and Victor?Looking at the two people who had walked to the door of the VIP room, she immediately asked, “Did something happen?”Conrad said faintly, “Ms. Reid, leave the country in peace.”After he finished speaking, he held Fia’s hand and left the airport.In the car, Fia asked, “What happened?”Conrad swallowed hard. “Sapphire jumped out of Victor’s car.”Fia’s eyes widened, Sapphire’s face appearing in her mind.“She fought with Victor?”“I should not have brought her over.” Conrad’s tone was a little heavy. “Sometimes the truth is very cruel.”“It
Conrad pulled Fia behind him to protect her and grabbed his wrist.“Why did you bring her to see Eileen! I told you not to meddle in my private affairs!” Victor was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.Conrad replied sharply, “Before accusing others, reflect on yourself!”“It’s my personal matter, so there is no need for you to be bothered!” Victor pulled his wrist back and wanted to beat Conrad again.This time, Tiger brought people over and restrained Victor roughly.Conrad couldn’t be bothered to talk to him. He held Fia’s hand and walked toward the operating theater.Fia felt the strength with which he held her wrist and it was a little tight.This indicated that he was not in a good mood.Thinking about how Sapphire had come to the house to ask her for help. If she had known that things would turn out like this, she would not have said so much and directly agreed. Then, this kind of thing would not have happened.“Sorry.”Conrad heard the little lady beside him apologi
That year.She was dressed in a simple white dolman sleeve sweater, matched with a red woolen skirt and a pair of white wedges.Her light brown hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she was bubbly and lively like the sunlight.She said, “Hi everyone, I’m Eileen Reid, number 520 here for the interview. I have yet to graduate from university, but don’t look down on me just because I have yet to graduate…When she smiled, her brows were like petals blooming.Victor felt a sharp pain in his heart. He placed a hand over his brows and eyes and shut his eyes tight.It was good that she was gone. It was better that she was gone.He no longer needed to be distracted because of her.No longer needed to help her best friend because she asked for his help.There was no need to worry about fighting with Conrad, that it would make her best friend unhappy and make her unhappy with himThe doors of the operation theater opened and the doctor came out as he looked at the group of people.“
“It was my fault. I did not put on my seat belt properly.”Victor frowned and heard Sapphire speak again. “Dad, Mom, why don’t you all go back first? I want to speak to Conrad and Fia.”“Fine, remember to ring us if there’s anything,” Mrs. Starling said.Mr. Starling said, “I have instructed the nurse at the nurse’s station to arrange for you two dedicated nurses.”“There’s no need for that. Isn’t my husband here?” Sapphire seemed to smile as she shouted, “Victor, you’ll stay with me at night, right?”Victor swallowed and his tone was faint. “Yes.”Mr. and Mrs. Starling glared at him. Before they left, they said that if anything else happened to their daughter, they would have a lesson for him!Victor did not have much expression from start to end. It was as if he was not involved.After her parents left, Sapphire said, “Victor, I want to drink lemonade. Can you help me buy some?”“Okay.” Victor turned around and put both his hands into his pockets and left the ward.Sapphire
Early next morning.Conrad and Fia both woke up at the same time and prepared to get out of bed.Urgent footsteps could be heard coming from the outside.Soon, the sound of knocking on the door was heard.“Master Maxwell, Madam, there are a few people outside shouting to see the madam! They are the madam’s family!”Conrad frowned. “Who?”“They said that they are… Parkers from Lumenpolis.”Fia instantly frowned. She felt like she had choked on something distasteful.Finn had mentioned the matter a couple of times and she had very clearly indicated that she had no desire to acknowledge the existence of her father.She never expected that the other party would come knocking.“What do we do now? They are outside and won’t leave.” Mrs. Whitley was at a loss.Conrad got out of bed. “Mrs. Whitley, ignore them. Go and make breakfast.”“Al… Alright!”Conrad took off his pajamas and put on a shirt and pants. He turned around to look at Fia and saw her sitting on the bed with a worri
