Kent helplessly said, “I told you. It’s not good for your pregnancy.”Fia raised a finger. “Just one glance, alright? One.”“No!” Conrad said as he stood up.Fia shut her mouth as she looked at Kent, upset.Kent said with a smile, “Both Mr. Maxwell and I are doing this for your own good.”Conrad walked over and sat down next to Fia. “What else did you notice?”Kent said, “Nothing much. However, I did some investigation on my side. Britney’s your typical science student and has had no interest in music since she was little, so her computer shouldn’t have that many piano music sheets. Meanwhile, I do know something about Esme. She was quite famous overseas as a pianist.”He stopped there and didn’t want to add any more of his analysis.“You’re a smart man, Mr. Maxwell. The reason that I came here to tell you what my investigation yielded is so that you’ll be careful with that woman and take good care of your wife.”Conrad nodded with a solemn expression on his face.“I understa
Conrad was left behind. He took deep breaths to keep his anger in check.Meanwhile, Fia was standing next to the office door and she had heard and seen everything that she needed to.“Are you standing guard there?” she yelled.When Conrad heard her voice, he gave his face a massage and changed his expression to a softer one before turning around and walking toward her.“Wait for me, Fia. I’ll finish up the last bit of my work and we can go home.”He led her into his office.Fia looked at him, thinking that he had disguised his emotions well, and he pulled her down to sit with him.She flipped her hair and put her legs on his thighs, throwing her arms around her neck. “Let the innocent go.” Conrad remained silent as the light in his amber eyes dimmed.Fia felt annoyed and she bit him on his neck.“He already told you everything so clearly, and you’re still suspecting me and Evans? I’ve explained to you about the designs too. I…” Before she could even finish, he was already bl
“Fia?” Conrad massaged Fia’s waist, pulling back her attention.Fia looked at Conrad carefully and whispered, “You said you want to see me be obsessive with you right now, but it’s just your chauvinism in your head telling you that you need me to be maddeningly obsessive so that it can prove that your existence can affect others. So that without you, all I feel will be suffering.”Conrad felt a little awkward. He didn’t mean that, did he?“Are you trying to say that’s not what you mean?” Fia said with a smile, and she put her right index finger on her brow before rubbing it all the way to the side. “It doesn’t matter what you mean… I won’t become obsessed with you. I will be brave… I will be independent!”Despite saying that, she felt conflicted inside her heart!The moment that she thought that he would interact with Esme, her heart would waver, and her mood would be ruined.And here she thought she wasn’t obsessed with him.Must she open her mouth and say, “I love you”? To sto
“You can focus on your work now, so don’t get distracted by her again!” Kent felt that he did a great job.“Thanks,” Jason thanked him and hung up. He had just taken over Argonauts Corp, and some of the old rules had to be changed. So, he did have a lot of work to do.With Conrad’s ability, as long as he wanted to protect Fia, he could easily do that.He forced himself not to find out about Fia for the time being so he could focus on his work.Once Kent got into his car, he remembered a certain someone and made another call.“Hello? Mr. Gilbert?” Sally had just got back to her rented room from the doctor’s clinic, her voice full of fatigue.“What is it? You sound tired. Is learning massage exhausting?” Kent asked thoughtfully.“I’ll be lying if I said it’s not tiring. Luckily, I’m a doctor myself, so I’m not as tired as the newbies,” Sally said with a smile. “Why did you call?”“I just left Maxwell Corporation. I thought about you, so I gave you a call.” Kent tried his best to
Kent drove his car into the neighborhood and then took the elevator to his studio on the top floor.The elevator opened and he played with his car key as he walked to the door to his studio. He suddenly stared at the position of his keyhole.The keyhole was the shape of a cross. It was fifteen degrees away from its original position when he left this morning.The first thought that came to his mind was that a thief had entered his home.He was about to take his phone out from his pants when the door to his studio suddenly opened and he instinctively stepped back.However, the person threw a rope toward him like a lasso, and it accurately went around his neck, and the person pulled him into his studio.“Darn it!” Kent cursed, but everything was too fast, and his enemy was too good.The person dragged him into the studio. Kent hadn’t gotten accustomed to the darkness and couldn’t see anything.The person grabbed his hair and forced him to look up, and a processed voice rang. “Giv
Kent said, “I’m telling you, sometimes you cannot simply believe what you see. If it were not for my intuition of danger, the one lying on the ground and struggling for air would be me. By the time the police arrive, I’m afraid that my body will have already turned cold!”The police nodded repeatedly. “We apologize for our attitude just now. We’ll have to trouble you to follow us back to the station to take your testimony.”“Sure, but can I bring my computer along?” Kent said.The police nodded. “Of course.”But even in the police car, Kent was not idle. His hands flitted across the keypad, working hard to investigate Peter.The police looked at him and felt that their first impression of him was really a mistake.This rich heir was really hardworking! He was not even willing to let a single minute or second go to waste.“Mr. Gilbert, with the footage on hand, he will not be able to escape punishment for his crime. Just go back home without worry.” Officer Wilfred Thomas sent Ke
Kent immediately looked over, his gaze unfathomable.“The second lady of the Thomases. What a coincidence.”Esme covered her mouth as she smiled and looked at Wilfred who was by the side.“I never thought that you would have such ‘taste’.”Kent was speechless! A person with a dirty heart truly saw everything as dirty!He was a straight man and only liked women!Wilfred looked at her face and called out softly, “Britney?”Esme looked at Wilfred and did not recognize him at all. Britney? Could it be that this was the person that had a crush on Britney before?“I’m sorry. I don’t know you,” Esme said.“Ha! Don’t know him? Is it you who doesn't know him or the person beneath this face that doesn’t know him?” Kent said sarcastically.Wilfred was confused by Kent’s words. “Mr. Gilbert, what are you talking about?”Hearing Kent’s words, Esme panicked and she immediately said, “You still don’t know, do you? The one he really likes is Jason! For the sake of helping Jason get rid of h
“Get lost!” Conrad angrily hung up.Returning to the bedroom, Fia was cuddled on the small sofa, looking at him.She asked, “Why are you angry after going to the study?”“Picked up a call. The words spoken were no different than a fart!”“Who was it?”“Who else could it be?!” Conrad was thinking of giving Kent a punch if he was in front of him.“Mr. Gilbert?” Fia guessed.“Yeah.”“What did he say to you?”“He said…” Conrad shut up in time, his brows furrowed together into a frown.It was still better not to tell Fia about the red mole, lest she thought too much.Furthermore, no matter how shameless Kent was, he would also feel shy talking to Fia about this kind of a thing.“Because of Jason, he said a bunch of nonsense,” Conrad said faintly.Fia knew that Jason was not a happy existence to him and automatically shut up.“Why did you stop asking?” However, Conrad suddenly stared at her and asked seriously.Fia sat up. “What does this expression of yours mean?”Conrad cle
