Peter scoffed. “Did I say that my current girlfriend is Esme and not Britney?”Sophia frowned and gave it a thought. He really didn’t say that.She then whispered to Fia, “What should we do?” That was a waste of opportunity… They didn’t get anything conclusive from him.“It’s fine.” Fia stroked her neck and gave Peter a grin. “Remember our bet. She has no love for you. You’re just a tool for her.”“Stop creating a rift between us!” Peter said in a dark tone.Fia raised an eyebrow. “You’re a smart man. It’s easy for you to find out about everything. The only problem here is your own mental clarity. That you refuse to see the truth.”Peter didn’t want to continue to speak to her anymore and said, “You’ll eventually pay for all the sins that the Parkers have committed!”Fia couldn’t help but frown as Conall appeared in her mind.She didn’t know much about Conall, so she didn’t know what he did to Peter.“I have nothing to do with him.”“The sins of the father are to be laid upon
If this was such an easy thing to solve, it wouldn’t take him so long to finish it.He had sent his men to investigate this both on the surface and in the shadows, but he was stopped. Even the Hellish Training Camp had been dragged into this. It was no longer something that simple!Peter suddenly laughed as he lay on the floor. “Hahaha! I have to hand it to you, to be able to see it all so clearly!”Conrad glared at him, wanting to really kick Peter to death.Fia held his waist, and gave Tiger and Silas a look.The two of them exchanged a glance and walked over to pick Peter up.They were just leaving when Conrad coldly said, “Break his hands!”Tiger and Silas were stunned.Conrad continued, “Tell the doctor that there’s no need for anesthetic during the surgery!”Breaking Peter’s hand and then going through surgery without any anesthesia…They could feel the chills in their bones just thinking about it.After Peter was carried away, Conrad turned to look at Sophia coldly.
When the doctor saw Conrad’s dissatisfied expression, she quickly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Maxwell. We are living in a much better time. As long as your wife eats well and doesn’t get too tired, as well as go for checkups on time, your twins will be healthy!”Conrad folded the results and put them in his pocket, and prepared to carry Fia home.It was at this time that Silas and Tiger ran in.“Sir, Miss Thomas is threatening to jump off the building,” the two of them said with worried expressions.“Clean it up quickly after she’s dead!” Conrad responded in a wintry tone. Whether she was Britney Thomas or Esme Manning, her death had nothing to do with him.Silas then carefully said, “Someone released a video of her trying to buy jewelry at the store earlier. Now, everyone on the internet is saying that you and the madam are being too vicious. That you’re harassing her, making her fall down the escalator by making her mentally unstable.”Tiger continued, “At this juncture, this will
The doctors didn’t give Peter any anesthetic. On his way there, he couldn’t help but bite his tongue and moan.The bodyguards had asked the doctors and nurses to leave as Conrad and Fia went in.Meanwhile, they dumped Peter on the floor together with the stretcher.Conrad looked Esme in the eyes. “I’ll give you the choices. Jump, or the prison!”Esme’s tears began to fall. While most of it was out of sadness, there was also envy and rage.“Why are you treating me like this, Mr. Maxwell?!”“I don’t have the time to waste with you. Either jump or prison! Just based on you hiring someone to edit the security camera footage and defaming us as well as affecting Maxwell Corporation’s finances, that’s already enough to send you to prison for three years!”Esme’s heart began to tremble in fear the moment she heard of prison.Forget about prison, just staying in the interrogation room was already bad enough!She would rather die than go to prison!She couldn’t bear to go to prison aft
“This is all part of her ploy. Even if she’s really dead, it has nothing to do with you. She deserves it,” Conrad consoled Fia and muttered into her ears. Meanwhile, Tiger gave Peter, who had fainted, a kick before walking over to the window and looking down.“She’s still alive, sir. They set up a life net down below.”Fia was suddenly stunned.Conrad stroked her face. She was already sweating in that short moment.He kissed her face and gently said, “She’s fine. Even if something happened to her, it’s her own doing.”“I’ll go take a look,” Fia said dryly.Conrad then held her to the window side, and she looked down as she trembled.Esme was lying on the life net. The doctors and firemen surrounded her.“She’s not dead…” she mumbled. “Just who exactly is she?”Conrad then said, “Don’t think about this anymore, alright?”Even Tiger, who had been watching how things unfold, began to get worried. “Sir, should you take her to the psychologist?”Conrad nodded and took her to the
“What are we doing here?”Conrad introduced Marcus to her. “This is Mr. White, a psychologist.”There was displeasure in Fia’s eyes. “I’m not sick.”She tugged Conrad’s arm. “I’m not sick. I don’t need to see a psychologist. Let’s go home!”Marcus looked at her and said, “You’re quite seriously ill.”Conrad glared at him in annoyance.Fia didn’t look at Marcus. For some reason, the man was putting her under immense pressure. As if he could see through her secrets at any time.Marcus ignored her and said, “While your eyes look innocent and pure, they lack the vigor of a healthy person. It means that your heart is exhausted.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m completely fine!” Fia didn’t want to look at Marcus, and simply pulled Conrad, wanting to leave.Marcus was a proud man. His work in psychology made him an important and welcomed guest even to the royalty of another country!And the woman in front of him riled him up.“Come in.”With that, he turned around and
“It’s quite delicious,” Fia answered coolly.She was worried that he would give her some sort of diagnosis just by drinking tea, and so she added, “I don’t understand much about tea, though.”“I’m just purely inviting you to have some tea.” Marcus held up his teacup and took a deep breath. As the sweet scent of the tea entered his nostrils and into his lungs, his mind became clearer too.He was still suffering from jetlag and woke up not long ago. Now that he had regained his composure, he looked much better, and his temper also somewhat improved.“What do you like to do on your usual days, madam?”Fia answered out of politeness. “Draw designs.”“You’re a designer?” Marcus asked.“Yes.” Fia finished her drink and put the teacup back onto the saucer.Marcus asked, “Can I see your designs?”Fia frowned and looked at Conrad. “Is it okay?”“I’m fine with that.” Conrad nodded and got his phone out. He had a few of her designs in it.Marcus put down the teacup and took his time to
Conrad held Fia’s trembling hand and said, “Fia, Mr. White means you no harm.”Fia’s eyes slowly turned red, and she felt like exposing everything after her secret had been revealed.“My mom had me out of wedlock. I have no father!”Marcus frowned as he was held back for a moment.He had encountered a lot of patients, but none of them would reveal things to him like Fia did despite being so resistant to it in the first place.“I have no father. So what if there are some flaws in my designs?’ Fia asked. “Is it against the law?”Marcus realized that Fia’s situation was worse than she herself had thought.The environment she grew up in and her own background had caused her a lot of harm. However, she suppressed it by always advancing forward.While she looked strong that way, she had never released all the pent-up pressure inside of her.If she were to encounter something that would affect her after she grew up, she could easily break apart one day.“Can I talk to you alone?” Ma
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
