Fia smiled and said frankly, “I’m not angry. I simply feel sorry for her. I’m not her enemy. There’s no need for her to say something like that to me with an ulterior motive.”Britney, who was enraged, felt like her anger had suddenly been extinguished. She didn’t even have the strength to argue with Fia anymore.“If you actually have the time to blame me for anything, you should spend more time thinking of a way to kick Esme out of your family.”With that, Fia laid back down and pulled the blanket. She didn’t want to say another word.Barbara walked over to hold her sister’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”Britney looked at Fia laying on the bed and suddenly said, “I hope that you don’t end up like me in the end.”Fia shut her eyes and didn’t say a word. Once the sisters left, she carefully stroked her belly and consoled herself in silence.…Barbara walked out of the ward with Britney. When she saw Conrad standing at the end of the walkway, she walked over with her sister.“Mr. M
Conrad was shocked. “How did you know? Silas let you read the file behind my back?”Fia simply sneered at him. “You don’t even trust your own people?”“Then how do you know?” Conrad said before making a guess. “She contacted you without me knowing? And told you about it?”“That’s right,” Fia said as hatred flared inside of her. She didn’t want to lie to Conrad. But if he didn’t want to deal with Esme because of their previous relationship, she would have to be the one that made the change.When Conrad remembered Esme’s disgusting behavior, he quickly explained, “I didn’t work with her to get to Peter. I’ll have Silas hide the folder first.”“Then what are you planning to do?” Fia asked as she looked at him blankly. “If you don’t use the information to make a move against Peter, and you’re not making a move against her, then what’s the reason for not making a move at all?”Conrad felt helpless, unsure how to explain it to her.Fia asked, “Is it because you yourself are having d
While it was a journey full of danger before a caterpillar could transform into a butterfly, it would always have a happy ending.“You like this butterfly diamond ring?”Conrad thought about how Fia was pregnant. If she were to gain weight afterward, her finger would get stubby.He didn’t want the ring to be of a fixed size, so he said, “I want to order a ring of this design, but I want it to be adjustable.”The saleswoman nodded. “Of course.”Conrad did all the necessary paperwork and left after leaving behind an address.There was a woman in front of the elevator.He gave her a glance before waiting for the elevator.The woman suddenly turned and said, “What a coincidence, Mr. Maxwell.”When Conrad saw her smile, he felt his veins popping as he genuinely felt disgusted!“You’re following me?”“It’s a misunderstanding. I’m simply here to shop. I didn’t realize that I would see you here.” Esme smiled very gently.If gentleness was a drug, then it was an extremely potent one
Fia suddenly had a bad feeling and put her hand on her chest.“Sophia, I’m suddenly feeling very anxious. Did something happen?”“You must be worried about the boss. I’ll call Tiger!” Sophia immediately gave Tiger a call, but no one answered.Tiger frowned as he looked at the incoming caller. He let out a sigh before putting it on silent.He looked outside the car window. His men were busy destroying things in Clarice’s mansion.Sophia called Tiger thrice.“It didn’t go through?” When Fia saw how Sophia’s facial expression got darker, she quickly said, “It’s fine. Tiger is busy every day anyway.”“He should pick up no matter how busy he is! If he’s not picking up, that means he’s feeling guilty of something!” Sophia slammed the phone on the table. “As long as he’s not training in isolation, he will always answer my call!”Fia frowned and asked, “How’s your relationship with Tiger all this while?”Sophia said, “We’re quite friendly with each other back at the camp. He’ll help m
Silas frowned. “So… the boss sent you over to cause some mischief.”Tiger retorted, “Don’t be ridiculous. Mr. Evans is the one who started provoking the boss.”“Love makes one go mad!” Silas said as he patted Tiger’s shoulder. “So, what are you going to do? With her personality, she’s going to ask you about it later tonight!”“I’ll just avoid her!” Tiger said while massaging his face. He was genuinely getting annoyed with this.Silas asked, “How did he provoke our boss again?”Tiger frowned. “I’m not exactly sure. Anyway, Sir put on a long face when he came into the office this afternoon and asked me to lead my men to his place.”“He’s currently injured. You didn’t hurt him, did you?” Silas was somewhat worried that it would make Jason’s injuries even worse.Not only would the police be suspicious of him, but things would also spin out of control if Fia found out about it.Especially when she was being so protective right now.“His mother suffered some injuries, so I had my me
After Garrett released his wrath at Fia, he immediately went to check up on Clarice at the doctor’s.Sophia kicked the door closed and complained, “The boss’s father really is not a good man!”Fia chuckled and said, “He simply found the woman that he wants to love the most.”Sophia looked at Fia somewhat upsettingly.“You feel that Sir doesn’t love you the most, right?”Fia furrowed her brows, not wanting to talk about it.“I don’t know what happened between Sir and Ms. Manning before this because all I saw is you and the boss since I've been here. I believe that his feelings for you are genuine and he really cares about you.”Fia closed her eyes, not wanting to reveal her emotions through them.Sophia quickly said, “Just like me. I have too little social experience. Tiger too. And I believe Sir is the same. Silas is the one among us that can actually socialize properly.”“Oh, Sophia…” Fia muttered. “There are things that you can’t argue about like that.”Sophia simply asked,
Conrad walked over and wanted to help her, but she pulled her arm away from him.His hand froze in mid-air, defeat in his eyes.“Do you really care about Jason that much?”Fia froze, holding the blanket over her legs as she said icily, “Even if he and I had a past, could that be compared to you and Esme’s past?”Conrad frowned. “You can’t mix the two together!”“Why not?” Fia looked at him. They were cold and filled with scorn. “Speaking of which, I still haven’t told you that I want a divorce because of him, right? He also didn’t cause the death of our children, right?!”Conrad’s expression instantly darkened, and all the emotions he had been keeping inside erupted as he smashed the thermal flask in his hand.“Who knows whose children they are!” He said loudly.Fia could only look at him in disbelief, wide-eyed.Conrad panicked when he realized what he said, but he couldn’t apologize for it.That was because that man was Jason! And his mother stole his father!The spirit in
Fia smiled faintly and asked, “What are you doing standing by the door? You don’t want me to have milk tea?”Sophia shook her head and quickly walked over with the takeout in tow.“I heard from Tiger that you like milk tea and it’ll make you feel better, so I went to buy you one.”Fia gave a helpless smile. “Tiger is quite considerate.”“Yes, he is. Despite being a boring man, he’s very loyal and has a good memory! Also, because of your pregnancy, Silas told me that you can’t have too much sugar or you’ll get gestational diabetes or something. That's why I told them to halve the sugar,” Sophia said continuously.“I wonder if it’s sweet enough or if it’s to your taste. If you don’t like it, I’ll…”Fia grabbed the cup of milk tea from her hand and said, “It’s fine.”Sophia quickly cleaned up the mess on the floor and ordered some food with her phone, and something with alcohol for herself.After she was done, she quietly looked at Fia drinking her milk tea. She then remembered ho
