“As a wife and as a daughter-in-law, how can you act like that?!”
Beryl was very unhappy. She gave birth to that boy! Shouldn’t he side with her without question?!
“Haha… Of course. I can’t compare myself with you!” Fia sneered back. “Why haven’t I realized that you could be so generous? Finding work for the daughter of a relative of yours? Or do you want to make her your son’s lover?”
Eileen burst out laughing. “True! She’s obviously a bad mother-in-law! There’s no need to pretend!”
“You…!” Beryl was so angry that her face turned red. “Conrad, are you deaf? Can’t you hear what she’s saying to me?!”
Conrad then said, “Go back to the family residence.”
“Are you my son or her son?!”

Conrad’s eyes beccold as he stared at his own birth mother.
Beryl looked at Conrad in disbelief. “But… But didn’t you hear what she said about me?!”
“It’s what you deserve!” Conrad said in a heavy tone,
The two of them stared at each other and she gave up first.
If she knew that Fia would be able to charm her son like this, she would have done everything she could to get him and Etogether.
At least Ewas respectful and polite to her. She needed to find sother way.
She had to find a woman that would obey her, could charm her son, and take his attention away from Fia!
If the woman that was under her control could control her son, she could then control her son and the entire Maxwell household by proxy.
“Conrad, if she can’t be a secretary, what about a clerk?” Beryl instantly shifted her expression-and begged him again.
“We have no shortage of clerks.”
“You’re the boss. Just fire one of them!”
“No!” Conrad said sternly. “If the staff didn’t do anything wrong. I won’t fire them without reason!”
“How can you be so stubborn?! Fine, share sof Silas’s workload with my relative’s daughter, okay? Have her be your secretary. You can even pay her one-third of the salary.”
Conrad was already becoming very impatient. “I already have a candidate for my secretary.”
“Who? I thought you didn’t like girls working alongside you?”
“Once Fia’s eyes are restored, she’ll be suitable! She’s my wife.”
Conrad was putting things very bluntly and Beryl was shocked. Even Fia and Eileen were shocked

The two best friends didn’t realize that Conrad was willing to do this just to protect Fia.
“You… You want her to be your secretary?!”
“Yes,” Conrad said with determination.
“Are you mad, Conrad? She didn’t even graduate from university and has no work experience. You’re…”
“You don’t have to worry about my affairs!” Conrad cut Beryl off coldly. If it was someone else, he would already have cut the conversation short.
Berul stared at him with wide eyes. She took a deep breath and tried to carry herself as his mother.
“Alright, fine. You’re all grown up now. I’m too old and I can’t even express my opinion. But I’m your mother, right? You still must take care of me, right? I want her to take care ofat the family residence!”
Both Fia and Eileen frowned. They had just wanted to say something, but Conrad was much faster. “I won’t spare any expenses on your food and lodgings. However, you cannot ask her to do anything.”
“You’re my son! She’s my daughter-in-law! I’m just asking her to take care of me. Is even that too much?!”
Eileen couldn’t hold it anymore and said, “You’re not worthy to be his mother! Forget about how you used to harass Fia. You want to torture her now that she’s blind?!”
“This is a family matter. An outsider like you should shut up!”
Conrad was getting a headache. He glanced at Fia who was simply sitting there calmly. He didn’t know just how bad she must be feeling right now, so he decided that this commotion that Beryl started must end.
