“He used to stay in that mansion before and a lot of things had happened there! Aren’t you afraid that you’ll get cursed if you and your family move in?!”Tyler raised his eyebrow and looked at the woman that looked like someone subservient with slightly cold eyes.“Are you an enemy of his?”“No.” Britney shook her head. “I just don’t want you to be deceived.”Tyler sneered and a mischievous smile appeared on his face as he got closer to Britney.The two of them were getting so close to the point that his breath could reach her face, but Britney didn’t feel things becoming amorous. Instead, she could feel fear.“Your face and your mind don’t fit.”Britney was silent.“You’ve been waiting for me here, right?” Tyler smiled with a sneer. “You know what my last name is and that I bought the mansion owned by Mr. Maxwell. Are you investigating us?”Britney frowned and moved away from Tyler.“Tsk!”He waved his hand, opened his door, and then started the engine as soon as he got in
Peter’s eyes seemed possessed as he strangled Esme by the neck.“If you want me to protect you, then you’ll have to do something brutal enough to make me believe you!”“What… do you mean?” Esme was scared by what was happening.“Start a fire.”Esme caught the madness in Peter’s eyes. She choked and asked, “Wh… Where?”“You can start a fire where you work.” Peter loosened the hand that was choking Esme by the throat and patted her face. “Do it stealthily. Don’t let anyone catch you doing it.”…Tyler had just returned to the mansion and checked the entire place thoroughly inside and out.The original fixtures were very well done, and nothing was damaged. It was also very clean.“What are you doing?” Mary asked when she saw Tyler sniffing around like a hound as she came back after spending half a day accompanying the children at their new kindergarten. Tyler glanced at her and asked, “Sharon and William got used to the new kindergarten?”“They’re quite shy at the beginning. B
“Oh no! How did the director’s office catch on fire?!”“I can smell the scent of cable burning.”“An electrical fire?”“Where’s the main switch?! Go switch it off!”The entire department was thrown into chaos as they didn’t know where the switch box was and kept on searching for it.Conrad entered the huge office and saw a group of people searching around. He looked at the director’s office, and it seemed to be filled with smoke and there was a shadow of a figure inside.He immediately turned around and went to the corridor, found the switch box that was hidden behind a painting, and cut off the power.He then called security to extinguish the fire before running back to the department.“Out, all of you! Now!”When they saw Conrad, all of them seemed to have got back their senses and left. A few of them followed him to the director’s office. In the smoky office, there was a woman coughing inside.Conrad looked at the woman trying to save the folders inside the drawers, but
Annie was shocked and speechless.She really didn’t understand. He was so gentle and attentive when it came to Fia. Why wouldn’t he show them any respect at all when it was their turn?!What could Fia offer? Why was he so deep in his love for her?“I… I’m not.” Britney walked out with her head low. She looked like a mess.Her voice trembled as she said, “Mr. Maxwell, I’m a staff of the company. I have the duty to protect the company.“Britney!” Annie ran over to Britney. “Just look at you right now. Why must you lower yourself like this?”“It’s okay.” Britney pulled Annie’s hand with her own trembling hand. “I’m fine.”The fire in the director’s office was extinguished very quickly thanks to everyone’s help.More than half of the documents from the drawer had been destroyed. When Britney saw how bad the office looked, she cried again.She cried and said, “My sister is resting lately and told me to do my best here, but I couldn’t do anything right.”Annie turned and looked in
Fia said calmly, “It’s good that you’re thinking about the company, even putting yourself in danger. However, if you have any common sense, you should know that large companies like ours would always have a digital copy as a backup.”Britney couldn’t help but retort, saying, “We still haven’t digitized this week’s documents.”“One week’s documents. The entire department can restore the files within one hour. Do you think that it’ll cost less for everyone to have overtime or for you to lose your life?”One week’s worth of documents. Everyone that had gone through them would have some notes. With their memories, one overtime session would be all they needed to restore them.Instantly, everyone was shocked and angered. Everyone in the workplace was wise enough in office politics. Instantly, they believed that Britney intentionally did it!So that Mr. Maxwell could see her loyalty toward the company and assume that they were all not loyal enough!How scheming!Only Annie stood by Br
When they got back to their office, Fia removed her gentle and magnificent mask and slumped into the sofa.Conrad poured a glass of water and walked over. “Have a drink.”“How did you know that I’m thirsty?” Fia took the glass of water and finished it all in one gulp. Her fatigue could be seen in her eyes.It was her first time speaking to all of his staff as his wife despite having married him for three years.In truth, she wasn’t as calm as she looked.Conrad held the empty glass and put it down before holding her fingers and massaging them softly.“You did well just now.”“Did I?” Fia asked with bright eyes.Conrad pulled her into his arms. “Fia, you’re way better than I have imagined.”Fia looked at him without blinking. Nothing could make her happier at this time other than him praising her.“However,” he said as he softly rubbed the center of her forehead. “All I want you to do is the things that you like, to be able to focus on your creative work. Don’t waste your time
Mrs. Whitley continued, “That’s right. Don’t be a stranger.”Fia bit her lips and said, “Can you prepare something more nutritious every day from now on?”The two of them were both stunned. “Are the two of you feeling sick?”Fia quickly shook her head. “We’re both doing fine. I just want to get more nutrition for my body.”She then looked outside the kitchen awkwardly and whispered, “You know, the type that helps with pregnancy.”When she looked at Tyler’s two children, she felt like all the more she wanted her own children.“Of course! We’ll keep it in mind!” Mrs. Whitley said with a laugh.Then, Mrs. Taylor said, “You can’t do it alone. Master Maxwell has to do it too.”Fia then ran out of the kitchen and the mansion blushing.When the bodyguards on patrol respectfully greeted and called her “madam”, she nodded with a smile. She then ran to the mansion next door to look for Mary and her twins.“You’ve finished work, Mrs .Maxwell!” Mary said as she opened the door. She smile
“Patrols twenty-four-seven and checking the food ingredients… Did something happen for Mr. Maxwell to make everything so strict?” Mary asked curiously.Fia looked at Sharon and William. She didn’t want to talk about her two miscarriages in front of them.“There’s nothing wrong with being cautious.”Mary frowned. When she saw her expression become somewhat melancholic, she quickly changed the topic.“Mr. Maxwell isn’t here tonight, too?”Fia nodded. “Yes, he’s away for a banquet. Mr. Lane?”Mary then said, “Also at a banquet.Fia said curiously, “Then maybe they went to the same banquet.”Mary nodded. “Should be. I didn’t ask him about it either. I went to pick the children up when he was leaving so I didn’t ask for the details.”Fia gave it a thought and asked, “Did Mr. Lane ask you to go with him?”Mary shook her head. “Ever since I had my twins, I don’t like attending these events anymore.”Fia patted the twins’ heads. “True. Accompanying the children is much better than s
