Chapter 497
Annie replied anxiously, “It’s because I saw what’s inside the box. Any man who received a gift like that would get
angry!
Especially someone who’s as proud as Mr. Maxwell! He wouldn’t
be able to handle that kind of insult!”
Barbara frowned as she glared at Annie sharply.
“What kind of gift?”
Annie had on a look as if she was worried for Mrs. Maxwell as
she described what was in the box.
Barbara felt a headache coming upon hearing it. If she were to send that kind of gift to Finn, the man would wrestle
her to death!
Barbara now had no idea what was going on in Fia’s mind.
What was that? She could do whatever she wanted because she
was Conrad’s dearest? Or was this some kind of new game that young folks played in the bedroom?
“Auntie, I’m really worried about…”
“Shut your trap!”
Barbara retorted in anger. She was no moron.

“Now I see why you gave up the gift. You did that on purpose. You intended for them to fight! What on Earth were
you
thinking?!”
Annie’s face turned red in an instant. It was quite embarrassing to have someone see through one’s scheme so
easily.
Still, she wasn’t the one who prepared the gift. So, she straightened her back and kept on talking.
“How could you say that about me?! That gift was chosen by Mrs. Maxwell for Mr. Maxwell. As their employee, of
course I must hand them over!”
“First, you stole the gift. Then, you sneaked a look into the gift. What did you have in mind? Well, only you’d know, I
guess.”
“Auntie, we were so close back then. How did it come to this? Why do you think I’m such a despicable person?”
The more she looked at Annie’s saddened face, the more agitated Barbara became.
“Get out!”
Annie stood up from her seat, with a glint of joy in her eyes.
Mr. Maxwell was probably expecting a pleasant surprise when he opened that gift. Well, it would be more of a
humiliating surprise than a pleasant one.
So, what if this angered him?
The gift was not her doing. It was that stupid blind b*tch’s doing. She had no one to blame other than herself!
She did not get to meet that blind b*tch when she and her uncle
went to their home.
This must be because they had a huge fight the night before. It was very likely that Conrad had locked Fia in her
room–as a punishment!
If that was the case, Conrad would not bring that blind b*tch to
3/4
work anymore!
At noon, Annie brought several colleagues out to lunch.
As soon as they walked out the exit, a Maybach stopped in front of the company. Conrad got out of the car and
carefully opened the door of the passenger’s seat as if worrying that the passenger was tired of waiting to get
down.
After opening the door, Conrad lowered himself into the car to carry a woman dressed in a black dress out.
In that instance, Annie was so shocked that she thought lightning had struck her nerves!
“Sir!”
“Good day to you, Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell.”
“Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell.”
Hearing her colleagues greeting their boss, Annie anxiously. opened her mouth. “Sir, why do you bring Mrs. Maxwell

Conrad stopped his step and looked at Annie.
“Got a problem with that?”
Annie was stunned for a moment before shaking her head in fear.
“No…No! It’s just that Mrs. Maxwell seems unwell. It’s probably better that she rests at home.”
Originally, Fia had her face buried in Conrad’s embrace.
However, upon hearing what Annie said, she tapped on Conrad’s arm.
“Put me down.”
Conrad slowly put the woman down, thinking that she was embarrassed that he carried her into the company, that
she probably wanted him to escort her into his office via hand- holding instead.
Instead, Fia took a step toward Annie.
She squinted as she tried to focus her view on the several blurred humanoid silhouettes in front of her, and spoke
softly, ” Are y’all heading out for lunch?”
Annie and her colleagues nodded their heads.
“Yes, Annie’s treating us to lunch.” One of the girls added.
Annie tried her best to maintain her smile as she looked at Fia’s calm and collected face. There was no sign of
sadness on the woman’s face at all.
This made Annie feel very unreconciled after everything she had hoped to have happened.
How could these two not fight furiously after Conrad received that gift?
