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,
“There are rumors that the motorcycle ran Mr. Parker over last time because he was trying to save you!” “There must be some kind of an emotional bond for him to save you like that! Could it be that you and him…” Fia was stunned. Even if they didn’t know that Conall was her father, he could be her father by age, alone. How could they make things up like that? Conrad immediately yelled at them angrily, “They made all of this up! Mr. Parker and I are currently finalizing some business deals. He saved my wife out of the kindness of his heart! What you’ve described has never happened!” The media reporter continued to force the issue. “Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Parker fainted as soon as he got out of the taxi when he was on his way to meet up with you today! Someone reported to us that you did it because you were not happy that he’s in a relationship with your wife!” That infuriated Conrad. “Where are you from?! You’ll take responsibility for what you’ve just said!” But all the other re
Fia frowned. She wanted nothing to do with Conall originally, but what Joy was openly doing was angering her. When Conall came to Gryphon, she was already prepared so that she could make a move against her whenever she wanted! When Conrad realized that some reporters who were stirring things up had something to do with Joy, he protected Fia behind him. He said, “Mrs. Parker… You can’t represent Mr. Parker, can you? You can’t decide whether or not my wife is Mr. Parker’s daughter! Since there are so many people here, why not do a paternity test directly to reveal the truth?!” Joy was similarly enraged. “Who knows which hole she popped out of! It’s not strange for her to toy you around since you’re so young! But you have no place to tell us what to do!” Fia pulled Conrad away and walked over, staring Joy right in the eyes. “The only reason you do all of this is because you’re worried your husband will take me in as his daughter! Originally, I didn’t care! But since you’re pushi
Why didn’t Conrad pin any blame on Fia at all? He was being so protective of her instead. The security guards from the hospital and Conrad’s bodyguards finally arrived at the scene and forced the reporters to leave. Fia looked at Felicity calmly and said, “If you’re really worried about your mother, then you have the duty of making sure she learns to be at least respectful to others.” Felicity shook her head. “My mom doesn’t treat anyone else like that.” Fia didn’t say another word and simply left with Conrad as she held his arm. Felicity turned around and looked at the two leaving. She could suddenly understand her cousin Annie. Conrad was a talented and handsome man, and he was protective of his wife. No woman could resist his charm. … When Peter saw Joy still carrying an irate expression on her face as they approached Conall’s ward, he muttered, “Joy, can you please be more considerate?” Joy stopped and said angrily, “Conall cares so much about you but you can’t
