She wanted to call Garrett. Garrett would definitely solve the problem!***“Sophia, hurry up.” Fia walked out the door. Seeing Sophia looking at her phone, she urged her.“Coming, coming.” Sophia put down her phone and ran to open the car door. “Madam, please be my guest.”Fia’s eyes narrowed with amusement. “How many times have I told you? Stop calling me Madam. Just call me Fia.”Sophia scratched the back of her hand. “Just let me be.”Fia did not insist. She got into the passenger seat and put on her seat belt.Sophia got into the driver’s seat and said, “It’s still early. Even if we go half an hour later, we’ll still be able to pick Miss Reid up.”“We’re picking her up. So we can only be early, not on the dot, and most definitely not late.” Fia had a serious look. “What if she arrives early and doesn't see us? Won’t it be very disappointing?”Sophia was a little envious of Eileen. If she had a bestie like Madam, wouldn’t that be great?!The car arrived at the airport. A
Fia looked at Sophia’s sincere and kind eyes and felt a hint of pity.Why did such a good lady get abandoned by her parents back then?“Sophia, have you ever thought of searching for your own parents?”Sophia was stunned and immediately shook her head, her tone extremely cold. “If they were able to abandon me, why do I need to search for them?”“What if they had their difficulties?” Fia said.Sophia immediately gave a sarcastic smile. “Madam, if it were you, would you abandon your own child?”Fia immediately shook her head. “If possible, I’m willing to use my life to trade for my child’s.”Sophia replied, “Exactly. No matter what problems they had, for one to be able to abandon their child, it shows that they aren’t anything good.”“You’re all grown up now. Treat yourself a little better, find a reliable man in the future, and live out the rest of your life well,” Fia said sincerely.Sophia tilted her head and thought about it. “For now, I think that living like this is pretty
“I am merely hoping that you’ll show me a little deference. It’s just a cup of coffee.”At the same time, Sophia was so anxious that she was breaking out in sweat.She could have just kicked the door open immediately, but the washroom setup was too small.She was afraid she would hit Fia if she kicked the door open. So, she did not dare to do so and could only try and pry the door open with a knife she carried by her side.As she did her best, she noticed that the other people in the other stalls were also complaining that the doors could not be opened.“Madam…”Fia stood inside, and heard the grumblings of the people around as well.Sophia immediately said, “I’ll call Sir and get him to send people over!” She did not dare to leave, fearful that someone would target Fia in a blink of an eye.“Don’t call him.” Fia felt that it was quite embarrassing to be stuck in a washroom.“Then I’ll call Tiger,” Sophia said.Fia replied, “Alright, ask him to keep it lowkey.” It was really
Some people in the crowd started to discuss.“How did these ladies go to the washroom and end up all locked in?”“Did the doors agree to get spoiled at the same time?”“Did the girls in the washroom all arrange to faint at the same time?”Fia rubbed her chest and held Sophia’s hand tightly.“Sophia, I find it hard to catch my breath.”The moment she spoke, her body tilted and she fell unconscious.“Madam!” Sophia hugged her and Conrad picked up the phone on the other side at the same time. She immediately said, “Sir, something happened to Madam!”***Eileen got Lyn to go to the waiting area to call Fia and get her to come over, planning to go to her once she got out of the washroom.Sapphire appeared out of nowhere and suddenly sat by her side, leaning close and saying softly, “I advise you to listen to me.”Eileen frowned. “Mrs. Maxwell and I…”Before she could finish her sentence, Sapphire gave her her phone.Eileen had been ready to make a call but she stopped as she st
“We’ll talk about it later!” Conrad took Fia from her hands and said coldly, “Start from the beginning.”Sophia told him everything about Fia going to the washroom.Conrad said to Tiger, “Get people to survey the scene!”Tiger replied, “Okay!”At this moment, a few police cars came roaring over.Conrad frowned. “Sophia, stay with Tiger and watch them. Don’t let those fellows ruin the scene!”Sophia was stunned and thought, wasn't her boss being a little too suspicious? He was even suspecting the police.However, when she stood in his position to think, she could understand.***“Jason, think carefully of the person who hit you that day. Was he really like Conrad?”Finn sat opposite Jason, asking extremely seriously.Jason avoided his gaze and said faintly, “You’ve asked me many times already.”Finn said, “Your words have a great influence in determining things toward this case and toward Conrad. Furthermore, if we find out that the words you said were not true, it will affe
After some time, Jason pinched the center of his brows and said, “Director Parker, I need to reenact the scene.”Finn looked at the seven suspects. “Did you not find anything?”“My mind is in too much of a mess. Everyone looks alike, but none of them look like the culprit either,” Jason said helplessly.Finn was silent for a couple of seconds. “Alright, then let’s reenact the scene.”***“Impossible!” Conrad’s face was dark. “Sophia said that she was at the scene but she did not smell any scents back then!”Sophia nodded by the side and said to the doctor, “I really didn’t smell anything and neither did my Madam. She didn’t tell me either.”A group of doctors and the hospital director looked at each other.The hospital director said, “Mr. Maxwell, we have asked a few of the patients that have awakened. All of them also said that they did not smell anything. However, there is a possibility that some poisonous gasses underwent some changes in the waterworks, and I don’t why, but
Eileen opened her eyes and looked around.She was tied to a chair. In front of her was a table, and on the table was a cup of coffee that had gone cold.Sapphire sat opposite her, swirling a glass of champagne.Eileen said, “Mrs. Maxwell, is this how you treat me to a cup of coffee?”“Haha, is there any difference?” Sapphire took a sip of the champagne and after she put down the glass, she pushed at the cup of cold coffee.“Miss Reid, please drink some coffee.”Eileen stared at Sapphire coldly. “I don’t have any grievances with you. Is there any meaning for you to treat me like this for the sake of a man?”“How can it be meaningless?” Sapphire giggled. “You’re not me, so you cannot understand what I feel. Every time I am rejected by Victor, I hate that he once had you!”A thread of inconceivability flashed in Eileen’s eyes. She did not at all believe that Victor would reject Sapphire.Although Sapphire was not a great beauty, she was still quite beautiful. Her skin and figure
Eileen’s entire body froze. “What did you say?”Sapphire replied, “Hahaha, you still don’t know, do you? Esme is not dead at all. She got a different face and different identity and returned. At any moment, she can kill Fia!”Eileen’s face was drained of blood. “You’re lying!”“Don’t you know? Fia really cares for you, so fearful that you’ll worry along with her, and decided to keep it from you.” Sapphire cackled like a madman. “She is truly nice to you!”Eileen was speechless and tried her best to keep calm. “She is now pregnant with twins. Conrad will protect her.”“Really? Then why did she not dare to tell Conrad the first time she got pregnant? Even if words were spoken, what could it change? In the end, didn’t the child die in her womb? Hahaha!”“Shut up!” Eileen’s expression turned malicious, not daring to think how Fia would end up if she lost her children again.“Give me your face and I shall help you take care of Fia. No matter what, she is the wife of my cousin. I will
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
