“How shameless can you get!” Conrad said as he gritted his teeth. Even the way he spoke was without strength.Esme’s hand slowly moved from his chest to his face as she mumbled, “We’re supposed to be together in the first place. Fia’s the third wheel. Without her, we would already be together. We would even have children…“Don’t worry, Conrad. From today onward, no one can separate us anymore. We’ll always be together.”Conrad’s eyes were filled with fury. He wished he could choke the woman to death.Even Kent, who was by the entrance, almost gave up.The woman was too shameless! She was too disgusting!He was just about to help when his phone rang.“Hello? Jase? Did you find Fia? What? No way. She just left. You should be able to get to her even before you reach the neighborhood’s entrance,” Kent said. Suddenly, his expression darkened and he hung up. Then, he rushed over and pulled Esme away.“You have helpers? Fia’s been kidnapped by the people you arranged!”“I didn’t! Let
Peter frowned with confusion in his eyes.He thought that when she woke up, she would be terrified, anxious. That she would scream and cry. However, he didn’t expect her to be this calm, obsessed over Esme’s identity.“She’s not Britney Thomas, is she?” Fia continued asking.Peter looked into her eyes. They were like spring water, clean and unpolluted.He suddenly remembered her own sister, Sally.He somehow realized why his sister would be attracted to the girl in front of him.The two girls had something similar on them… It’s very easy for them to become attracted to one another.However, this was his enemy’s daughter.Not his sister.He couldn’t show her any compassion.“Peter,” Fia called out to him calmly and in a gentle tone. “Have you ever had insomnia for an entire night?”She imitated Marcus’ tone as if talking to someone of the same kind.“It was so quiet, and the temperature was just right. It’s supposed to be easy to fall asleep, but for some reason, I just coul
Fia frowned. She felt that things were getting out of hand as she looked at Peter falling into madness.She acknowledged Marcus’ treatment and wanted to imitate him to try and stop Peter.But Peter’s mental injury was too deep, and he had suppressed emotions for far too long.“You want to buy time!” Peter glared at Fia like a demon looking at its prey. “Damn, you! You’re just like Esme! Both of you should just die!“Once I kill you, Conall will be overwhelmed with pain! Then, the Parker Group will go bankrupt! Next will be Esme. I’ll make her lose what she had just regained! That’s the best kind of revenge for her!”Fia had just opened her mouth to say something, but Peter grabbed her by the neck and she couldn’t say a word.The asphyxiation could kill her at any time…She could hear her bones cracking. She wasn’t sure how she should feel. She still hadn’t discovered if that woman was Esme.She still hadn’t cut herself off from Conrad. He said that he would stay with her foreve
Sally looked at her in a daze, feeling incomparable heartache.“Fia, I’m sorry. I will treat you better in the future. I…”“Just leave.” Fia felt extremely tortured.She could understand Sally’s feelings, and could understand Sally asking for mercy on her brother’s behalf.But, what did she do wrong?Just consider this a compensation for Sally’s grace toward her all this time.“Then I’ll leave first. Jason, take care of Fia properly.” Sally looked at Jason with nostalgia.She knew that from today onward, she no longer had the qualification to like this man.She had revealed her despicableness before him. He was such a noble and unsullied person. He would not be able to tolerate her.“Alright.” Jason agreed faintly and hugged Fia tightly.Sally was hesitant and unsure. After she left the room, she ran all the way down the stairs.She quietly said in her heart, 'Goodbye, Jason. I’m sorry, Fia. I will definitely help you to clear things up!'Fia pushed Jason away and stood up,
Conrad gritted his teeth. “She actually dared to say that?!”“Yes!” Silas scolded. “I have never seen such a shameless woman! Now that Director Parker and the media are all here, she is kicking up a fuss about wanting to live or die, giving everyone a headache. Things are about to spiral out of control. Sir, it’s still better for you to go over first.”Conrad looked in the direction where Jason’s car disappeared to and turned the steering wheel in frustration, going to the police station to solve the problem first.Although he hated Jason, he was also sure that when Jason was around, he would not let anything happen to Fia.“Mr. Maxwell, what exactly happened between you and Miss Thomas?”“Does your wife, Fia, know about you and Miss Thomas?”“Previously, you were in an ambiguous relationship with Miss Manning and your wife had just forgiven you. Now you are doing these kinds of things with Miss Thomas. Is your wife able to stand it?”“Are you and your wife in a superficial rela
“Esme Manning? She’s Esme Manning?”“That’s impossible, right? Esme was sentenced to life imprisonment and she fell into River Fane in an accident. Even her corpse was fished out.”“Then why did he call her ‘Esme’?”“There can’t be some huge scheme behind it all, can it?”“Could it be that Esme tried to escape her punishment by absconding?”“If she isn’t dead, then whose body was it?”“Oh my god! She couldn’t have found a scapegoat, could she?”“Who did it? Could it be that Mr. Maxwell found it hard to forget his previous feelings and helped her escape her punishment?”Magical guesses started to appear and everyone started to pity Conrad’s original partner, Fia.It was precisely this effect that Conrad wanted.He could give up on his reputation, but he had to care about Fia.Esme had pushed things to such an extent and had an unpredictable intent. He could not let her get her way!“Didn’t you want to die?” He looked at the woman on the third floor coldly. “Jump. I’ll help c
“I want Fia to see your true colors! You are a demon. You use your position to snatch people away! You have deceived her and deceived me! People like you don’t deserve true love!”Finn was afraid that in a moment of instability, she would really jump and was just about to call Fia when Conrad snatched his phone away.“You’re not allowed to call Fia!”Finn was a little speechless. “Things have already gotten to such an extent. Fia would definitely know. Why don’t we make things clear in person in order to avoid…”“No!” Conrad said coldly. “Let her jump!”***“Fia, are you tired?”“I’m fine.” Fia pushed Jason’s hand away. “Thanks for your hard work, Evans.”Jason’s hand remained outstretched. Being able to support her all the way up was a rare chance for them to be close.However, the moment they got to the top of Mount Reditus, she couldn’t wait to push his hand away.Kent really did not understand her.She did not even allow a crack. How was he to take advantage of her weakn
She said, “I want Fia to see your true colors! You are a demon. You use your position to snatch people away! You have deceived her and deceived me! People like you don’t deserve true love!”Fia cracked a lonely smile. Large drops of tears came rolling down, her gaze falling on Conrad.She wanted to hear what he would say.If he revealed a hint of worry, she would cut things off from him without any hesitation!She would give him freedom! Let him love whoever he wanted, hide whoever he wanted, and live out the rest of his life with whoever he wanted!“Let her jump!”Conrad’s cold tough voice emitted from the phone and the sorrow in between Fia’s brows reduced substantially.“What did he say?” She did not dare to believe it, afraid that she was hallucinating as she turned to ask Jason.The rim of Jason’s eyes were a little red as he clenched his palm tightly.“He did not stop her.”“Really?” Fia stood up happily. “Then, doesn’t that mean that there has been a misunderstanding?
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
