Chapter 424
“I’m sorry,” Eileen said, covering her face with her hands. “It’s my fault for being unable to control my emotions
and getting you into so much trouble.”
Silas replied, “You shouldn’t see Mr. Maxwell again before you leave the country.”
“I won’t.”
She had given up. She personally went to his marriage so that she could get some closure.
At the mansion, Fia kept pestering Conrad.
“When is Eileen coming?” Fia asked for the umpteenth time since she and Conrad had returned to the mansion.
Conrad’s expression darkened. He was really jealous of Eileen’s position in Fia’s heart.
He would want to take away Fia’s memory of her if he could.
“Did you lie to me, Conrad?” Fia was becoming increasingly anxious to the point that she was pinching Conrad’s
arm.
Conrad then looked at Silas’s position on his phone and said, “They’re almost here.”
He had just finished saying it, and a honk could be heard from outside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia quickly stood up, “Is that Eileen?”
Conrad sighed as he stood up and pulled her hand before saying, “Slowly, don’t slip and fall.”
Eileen felt extremely guilty when she reached the door and saw Fia, who could only find her direction with the help
of others, waiting for her. She ran toward her.
“I’m sorry, Fia, for making you worried.”
“No, that’s fine. Are you okay?” Fia quickly pulled away from Conrad’s grip, wanting to touch Eileen.
Eileen held the hand that Fia extended toward her and then took a step forward and held her.
“I’m fine. I’m good.”
Fia’s hand found her face, and she asked, “Were you crying?”
Eileen felt her chest becoming stuffy, but her tone was happy as she said, “Of course not! I’m happier than ever.
Victor was so angry at his wedding. It was the first time that I saw him act like this. He looked like he wanted to eat
me alive!”
Fia frowned. She understood Eileen very well. The more the woman tried to make things sound easy, it meant that
she was really sad.
She turned around and looked in Conrad’s direction.
“Could you leave Eileen and me alone for a bit?”
Conrad looked at Eileen coldly and said, “Sure.”
“Thanks.”

After thanking him, Fia then held onto Eileen and had the latter guide her into the mansion.
“Let’s go in, Eileen. I’ll introduce you to Mrs. Whitley. She’s Silas’s mother. While her cooking tastes different from
Mrs. Taylor’s, it’s very delicious too!”
“Is that so? I need to give it a try then,” Eileen held Fla’s hand tightly and directed her in the correct direction so
she wouldn’t go to the wrong one.
Conrad stood on the ground and watched the two women walk further into the mansion with a cold look on his
face.
“Boss, Ms. Reid exposed her relationship with Victor,” Silas said in a low voice.
“Are the reporters tight-lipped?”
“Of course, but there are still guests and members from the two families. I’m worried that they might reveal this to
others.”.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad looked away and said calmly, “They are Victor’s guests. Have them deal with it!”
Silas was shocked. He believed that it wouldn’t work.
Conrad looked at the time and then said, “Stay in the mansion. I need to go somewhere.”
Silas didn’t ask where Conrad was going and immediately nodded.
Conrad drove out, and his phone rang. He glanced at it and smiled coldly. How nice of the other/ party to contact
him without Conrad needing to do anything!
The person on the other side was obviously very agitated. “Why did you interfere with my affairs?!”
Conrad simply said, “Ms. Reid’s problem is my wife’s problem.”
“Bullsh*t!” Victor was so angry that he couldn’t breathe. “You even managed to convince my mom!”
Conrad said, “She wanted you to focus on Sapphire. Of course she was willing to help.”
Victor then said, “Tell me. What do you want?”
“Let’s talk in person.”
About ten minutes later, the gray Maybach appeared in front of a hotel owned by the Maxwell Corp.
Conrad got out of the car with a document in hand, and the hotel security bowed and said, Pleasure to see you, Mr.
Maxwell.”
