Chapter 964

Author: Stellar Strands
Conrad froze and stood next to the flowerbed after seeing his wife giving him the cold shoulder.

Sophia quietly approached him and said timidly, “Sir… Don’t think too much about it. Madam is just tired and wants to turn in early.”

Conrad gave a bitter smile. “Sophia, you’ll take the guest bedroom tonight.”

After making sure Sophia had a place to sleep tonight, Conrad stepped away to drag Tyler to his home. After sending his drunk friend home, Conrad walked out of the Lanes’ villa and stared at the night sky.

He felt lost.

Before he realized just how much he loved Fia, all Conrad knew was work, work, work. He did not have to worry about all these woeful feelings.

“Conrad.”

Suddenly, Sapphire walked into the streetlights and toward Conrad.

“Why are you standing here in the middle of night? Aren’t you going home?”

Conrad took a glance at her and asked, “How’s Victor?”

“Thanks to you, he still lives. He hasn’t lost too much blood, or else he’d be a goner by now.” Sapphire sig

    ”Why aren’t you coming home? Do you wanna sleep on the street?”“I’m coming home now.” Conrad stood up and said to Sapphire, “I’ll find time to talk to Victor tomorrow. I’ll tell him not to meet Eileen after she comes back.”Hope glittered in Sapphire’s eyes when she heard that. “Really?”“I’ll do what I can.” Then, Conrad held Fia’s hand and they walked home. Along the way, Fia asked softly, “Are you going to tell Victor your suspicion that Eileen is Jason’s sister?”“Yes,” Conrad answered without hesitation. Even though he was not able to confirm anything yet, telling Victor this would at least resolve this situation between Victor, Eileen, and Sapphire.Fia stopped in her tracks and asked, “Can I ask you and Victor not to tell Eileen?”Letting out a sigh, Conrad embraced her and said, “Alright. I won’t tell Eileen. You have my word.”Still, Eileen could still learn of this from other sources… but this was out of his hands.“If you and Victor don’t say anything, she won’t

    ”Sure. What is it?” Conrad looked really serious when he asked for the condition. He was so determined that he would do anything for her, even if she asked him to do the impossible.“Don’t be so serious. It’s nothing big, really.” Fia combed her hair with her hands and said, “I want you to promise me to protect Eileen when she returns. I don’t mind if she’s not assigned to luxurious accommodation or transportation but I want you to provide her with the best protection. I don’t want to see anyone lay a finger on her!”Conrad frowned. “You’re worried Sapphire would harm her?”“I didn’t say that. Still, it’s always wise to prepare for the unexpected.”“Alright. I promise I’ll protect her. No harm will come to her.”After having breakfast, Fia opened her cupboard and began choosing her clothes with Sophia. Sophia smiled. “Oh, Madam… Are you going on a date with Sir?”“No. I’m just having lunch with someone, with him accompanying me.” Fia got a little upset when she thought of Con

    The waiter said, “An old man passed out as soon as he stepped out from a taxi. He just lies there, not moving at all. No one dares to go near him or touch him because we fear we might make things worse. And the ambulance hasn’t arrived yet.”Fia anxiously asked, “He came here in a taxi?”“Yes.”Fia looked down and fidgeted in her chair anxiously. “He… He wouldn’t come with a taxi.”Conrad frowned and did not say a word. Then, he stood up, intending to go out and have a look. When he wanted to ask Fia if she wanted to tag along, she had already gotten up from her seat and walked away from the table. “Let’s head out and see what’s going on!”She was still worried that the old man could be Conall. No matter how much she disliked him, this father of hers shielded her when the motorcycle almost crashed into her back then. Her good conscience would not allow her to sit idly by and do nothing if something happened to him.“Excuse us, please.” Conrad held Fia’s hand tightly when he squ

    Wiping away her tears, Conrad whispered in her ear, “It’s okay. He’ll be fine. He hasn’t done enough as your father yet. So, before he completely compensates you, he’ll live.”Fia shoved him aside and pouted. “I told you! I don’t care about him! Can you not assume anything?”“…”Conrad was speechless. He knew that she simply did not want to admit that she actually cared about her father deep down in her heart. She was a good-hearted girl after all. After seeing her father saving her once, Fia had lost most of her hatred for him.“Let’s sit down and wait.”Conrad pulled her to a chair nearby to sit down. It was then that Tiger arrived with the results. “Sir, Mr. Parker was poisoned. There are two unknown components in the drug so we can’t produce an antidote.”Fia asked anxiously, “Will this poison kill him?”Tiger furrowed his brows and said, “It’s not deadly. Although Mr. Parker cannot move, he is still fully conscious. He can see and hear. However, if we can’t get rid of the p

    Peter stared at the rising number as the elevator rose, and scoffed. “Even if I want the entire Parker Group?” Tiger ground his teeth. “That’s an enormous appetite you have there, Mr. Hall. Even if the boss were to give you the company, you wouldn’t be able to run it.” “You’re right. That’s why I want nothing physical.” When the elevator door opened, Peter strode out with pride. Tiger followed behind him as they reached Conrad and Fia. When the husband and wife saw Peter, they immediately walked over. Fia hurriedly said, “Peter, can you please help?” “I’m just a researcher. Why do you think I know how to concoct an antidote?” Peter said icily. Conrad said, “Your research is from the same branch. It’s easy if you want to learn it.” Peter let out a bitter laugh. “Even then, why would I want to save my own enemy?” Fia said, “I can destroy all the information that we have on you!” Peter frowned and stared at Fia for a few seconds. “And it’s up to you to make that deci

    Even he couldn’t find out more about what Conall did all those years ago through the Hellish Training Camp. How did he do it? Could it be that Conrad’s ranking was higher than his? “You still don’t understand, Peter?” Conrad said calmly. “Then I suggest you talk with that Mr. Thomas of yours.” “Give me one day! If your information is correct, I’ll come to the hospital again!” With that, Peter turned around and left with urgency. Tiger turned and asked, “What should we do now?” “We’ll wait and see.” Conrad turned and looked at Fia, who looked at him, confused. He knew he couldn’t get away without explaining. After asking Tiger for some space, he walked over and sat down, holding her hand in his. “Fia, I didn’t mean to hide this from you. It’s just that we’ve only found out about this ourselves. We weren’t sure how to use it to incite him. If it isn’t because something happened to Conall, I wouldn’t have let him know about this for now.” Fia nodded. “What did you show him

    Fia frowned. “You don’t remember? Are you unsure, or do you not want to say it?” Conall’s eyes moved around nervously. Fia suddenly turned around at the door. If they didn’t shut the door tight, they could hear the noise from outside. She looked at the door and asked, “Or is the voice you heard the same as the person outside just now?” Conall immediately looked down. Fia looked at him helplessly. “His left hand is hurt, and he’s wearing a bandage even now. How can he drive a taxi?” Conall could only look at her pitifully. He had refused the secretary from driving him, and he called for a taxi that was just around the corner as soon as he left the hotel. The taxi driver had worn quite a few layers of clothing. He noticed that his left hand wasn’t that dexterous, but he wasn’t sure. Now that he thought about it, when he was driving, he had used his right hand all the way. The left hand had only held the steering wheel. “It’s Peter Hall,” Fia whispered. Understanding f

    When Fia saw the excitement in Conall’s eyes, she wasn’t sure what to do. “My children have nothing to do with you.” Conall’s eyes quickly looked down. He was still thrilled. Fia asked, “Should I contact your wife and daughter?” Conall quickly looked up. No! If Joy were to be here, she would cry and blame it on Fia again! “No, huh?” Fia remembered how maddening Joy would become whenever she saw her. Perhaps it was best for her not to be here. She didn’t want to get yelled at for no reason either. “I’ll help you contact your secretary, then?” Conall’s eyes looked up again. “You don’t want to call your secretary as well because he likes to tell your wife everything?” Fia guessed. Conall looked down again. That was correct. His secretary liked to complain a lot to her. “That’s why you didn’t want your secretary to escort you and you wanted to take a taxi?” Conall’s eyes looked down. Correct. Fia frowned, feeling pity. If he didn’t know about her existence,

    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
