Conrad frowned. “That hasn’t been proven yet.”
“After I saw her today, my instinct tellsso. Even If there’s no proof, she’s EManning, not Britney
Thomas.”
Fia looked at Conrad seriously and asked, “Where were you going to take me?”
Conrad gave her a conflicted look. He had lost all the mood to do that now.
Fia had known him all her life. She knew what he was thinking. So, she said to him sarcastically, “Don’t tellyou’ve lost the mood after I’ve told you that Britney might be my cousin.”

Fia slapped his hands away. “That hurts.”
“Sorry.” Conrad let go of her shoulders and pulled out a chair to sit.
“Britney has been fired. She will never show up in the company ever again. Can we not care about who she is or isn’t?”
“So, it’s true that you’re hiding something?” Fia smirked. “Hiding something from who? Me?”
Conrad looked at her speechlessly. He felt that he was immensely disrespected.
No matter what he said, he would still be a liar to Fia.
“Can’t find any more excuses, can you?” Fia concluded that this talk was over since it was going nowhere. She could not help but recall the twhen Egot back from overseas. As soon as she returned, Conrad immediately asked for a divorce.
“Conrad, are you afraid that she might really be Esme?”
Conrad frowned again. “Why would I be afraid?”
“She impersonated another woman so that she could get away safely! If this was found out, she’d be imprisoned for life!” Fia took in deep breath before continuing, “That and the crof evading her sentence. This would lead to her facing the death sentence, right?”
Conrad stared at her and asked powerlessly, “So, no matter what I say, you won’t believe me. Is that it?”
“I can’t control what my brain tells me. I must investigate and find out the truth about her. Or else…” Fia felt hurt as she thought about it.
Conrad asked, “Or else what?”
“Or else, we can’t live our lives peacefully anymore.”
They looked each other straight in the eyes. The thought patterns between them were different, which led. to their current squabble.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad, beginning to think into a corner, said, “After you’ve met with Jason, what did he tell you?”
Fia disliked Conrad bringing up Jason at this moment. “There is nothing going on betweenand him. Can you not bring him up every twe fight?!”
“Nothing going on? After he inherited Argonauts Corp, he used your designs and stabilized his position in his company as the CEO!” Conrad had been meaning to talk about this but he had been keeping it all to himself.
Fia was stunned as she heard this. “What are you talking about?”
“Fia, are you going to tellthat you don’t know Argonauts Corp was founded by that piece of sh*t, Garrett? Not only that, he founded that company for that b*tch of a wife he’s got! And your dear Jason Evans left the medicine field to inherit Argonauts Corp! That company’s brand ‘Gentle Stream’, as you. know, had always used designs from the sdesigner from the start! And now, you’ve broken their tradition! Now, every employee in Argonauts Corp is saying that Jason is using your design for the brand, mimicking what his father did for his mother! It’s like he’s announcing that you’re going to be his wife!”
After finally spitting it all out, Conrad flipped over the table in front of him.
Fia’s body shook as she heard all this, completely surprised and confused.
She did ask Eileen to submit her designs to earn smoney. She did know about Argonauts Corp. However, she had never pieced them together.
She also knew about the love story behind the brand “Gentle Stream”. Still, all she knew was that the company’s owner had been using his wife’s designs, so she did not care to learn about Argonauts Corp and their new products.
Looking into Conrad’s eyes, Fia tried to explain, “I… I didn’t know those designs were submitted to ‘Gentle Stream”.
