Chapter 471
It seemed like her boss’ wife wasn’t as foolish as the rumors dictate.
When she thought about the designs again, she quickly turned around and returned to the ward.
“Mrs. Maxwell, I would like to speak with you alone.”
Conrad had just wanted to roar, but Fia patted his arm.
“A chat is fine. You and Silas should go first.”
“Fia…”
“Okay?”
Conrad’s expression softened. He couldn’t refuse her.
Before he left, he gave Barbara a vicious stare. Warning her not to say anything she shouldn’t, or he wouldn’t show
her any mercy.
Barbara snorted coldly and turned her head away in pride.
She wanted to say things that she shouldn’t!

Barbara walked over and sat in the chair by the bed.
She held her arms as she stared at Fia. “There’s something I want to be honest about with you.”
“I’m listening.”
“The drafts that you gave to Mr. Maxwell… The Director of Design and I both argued against them. However, Mr.
Maxwell didn’t listen to our suggestions and improved on your original designs instead. Once the products were out,
he even told the Marketing Department to focus
their marketing efforts on them. No designer in the Design
Department has ever had such a treatment! That’s why, despite your products pushing our sales to a never seen
before height, it was still against our norm.”
Fia listened to her earnestly and nodded.
“I can understand your disapproval. I agree that my previous designs aren’t very good. I also know that Conrad
helped me improve on my initial designs.”
Barbara frowned and wanted to say something when she was cut off.
Fia suddenly changed her tone and said with confidence, “My apologies if I made you all unhappy. However, we’re
husband and wife. We are bonded together. There’s nothing wrong with him. modifying my design drafts, and
there’s also nothing wrong with him expending so much resources to market my designs.
“To be honest, you can switch your perspective as well. The company may have spent much more resources and
funds on marketing for my designs compared to those by other designers, but even after including all the costs, the
net profit that the company earned is double the amount from designs of the other designers.”
Because they were her designs and Conrad spent a lot to purchase the copyright from her, she asked Eileen to help
her investigate it.
“Not to mention that we didn’t receive any complaints from our customers regarding my designs. Instead, they
even asked if the designers were releasing any new designs soon, which means that they really do love my design.”
There was solitude on her face. As she was equivalent to someone with severe myopia, she didn’t know when she
would be able to
continue designing.
Barbara frowned even more deeply. She knew that, but that wasn’t her main point.

Barbara then said, “Mr. Maxwell had never shown any leniency to anyone when it came to work until now!”
Fia raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “That’s because I’m his wife. To him, I’m unique.”
“Because I’m his wife. If you ask me, he’s smarter and much more decisive. Otherwise, how could he use my
designs despite your collective objection?
“It also means that your boss can see much further than the rest of you. That’s why Maxwell Corporation will
become better under his leadership, and not worse.
“Madam Barbara… To be honest, I’m envious that you have such a good boss. When it comes to work, he can
exercise impartiality. He also loves and is dutiful to his wife. A man like that would never
mistreat staff that are loyal to him.
“I know that you’re very disappointed about the packages today, and perhaps you’re even thinking of moving to
another company, but there’s some misunderstanding about this. Give him some time. Once the dust has settled
and we find out what’s really going on, he will apologize to you,” Fia said slowly.
She didn’t want something like two packages to lose Conrad such a talented staff.
Barbara was stunned. The smile on the woman’s face was so fresh. There was no sign of low self-esteem. It
reminded her of a flower. A lotus. A flower that was born from mud yet remained untainted.
