Chapter 405
Conrad didn’t give Annie another look and simply drove away.
When Annie looked at the man who disappeared into his car, she felt her heart becoming
somewhat empty.
She forgot to ask him for his name and wondered if she could still see him.
It was fine though. She knew that he worked in Maxwell Corporation. She could always go there to see him!
In less than half an hour, Silas brought over takeaways from a five-star restaurant.
“Enjoy, Madam, Ms. Reid.” Silas stood aside.
Fia looked at Silas’s direction, but she still got it wrong.
“Aren’t you going to eat, Silas?”
Silas looked at her blank eyes and stared at the location about a meter away, and felt somewhat bad.
She was the wife of a CEO, but she was never treated as one during her few years of marriage. And now, she was

“I’ve eaten.”
Seeing that he wasn’t in a rush to leave, she asked, “You have other business being here?”
“Once the boss is back, I need him to sign a contract.”
“Alright, wait in the living room then.”
“Of course.”
Eileen glanced at Silas and then filled up Fia’s plate with food before putting the spoon in her hand.
When she saw that Fia was able to eat properly, she whispered, “That Silas Whitley seems to respect you. If there’s
anything you can’t ask Conrad for help, you can ask him.”
Fia shook her head. “No, he’s Conrad’s subordinate.”
“I think he can be trusted.”
Fia said nothing and simply smiled.
Whether it was Mrs. Taylor or Silas, she knew that they treated her well because of Conrad.
She needed to maintain a distance. She couldn’t depend on them too much.
“I’m just worried about you, Fia. Once Conrad’s back, I’ll have to go already.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine,” Fia said as she held the spoon in her hand tightly. “It seems like he really wants to have a
life with me. Now that Esme’s gone, everything will be fine.”
But to be honest, even without Esme, there might be some other women coming for him. Conrad was just too big
of a bait.
After half an hour, Conrad came back.
“Sir.” Silas stood up and greeted him immediately.
Eileen, who was sitting next to Fia, heard it too. “Is Mrs. Taylor back?”
Conrad and Silas exchanged a look. “Mrs. Taylor had something that she needed to take care of at home, so I gave
her a long holiday.”
Fia frowned. She knew something had happened but she didn’t ask.
Eileen looked at how gloomy Conrad was. After sending Fia up to rest, she quickly walked down.

Conrad raised an eyebrow and asked, “Wouldn’t that stop your mother from taking care of her grandson?”
“Now that my brother is earning some money, my sister-in-law is no longer working and is taking care of the
household. My mother is quite free.”
“Fine. Do it then.”
“Of course.”
After Silas left, Eileen then went over and asked, “What happened to Mrs. Taylor?”
Anger appeared on Conrad’s face. “She fell from the stairs and hurt her leg. She needs to rest for a few months.”
“Your mom pushed her?”
Eileen angrily said, “Is your mom crazy?! Why can’t she just enjoy life for once and stop stirring up trouble?! You
called the cops?”
“Mrs. Taylor stopped me.”
Conrad felt even more guilt toward her. He knew that Mrs. Taylor didn’t let him call the cops because of him.
“Conrad, I’m an outsider so I shouldn’t be saying this! But your mother… If you don’t fix her up, she’s going to be a
big problem for you in the future!”
