Chapter 650
Fia looked at Tiger sympathetically before stepping forward and forcefully pinching Conrad’s
arm.
“Can’t you treat your employees better?!”
“If I hadn’t treated them well, they would not be alive today.”
“You can stop bullsh*tting me. All I’ve seen you do to Silas and Tiger was mere unreasonable bullying!!”
These two had been serving him loyally all these years. She did not want to see him bullying them just because he
was in a foul mood.
“Fia?” Conrad frowned upon hearing that.
Glaring at his saddened eyes, Fia ordered, “We’ll talk after we leave the hospital.”
She did not want to waste time squabbling at the hospital like this.
As they stepped out of the hospital’s exit, Silas went to the parking area to fetch their car. Suddenly, a Roll-Royce
stopped in front of them. The car’s window was wound down and a warm and friendly face pushed out to greet

“Good day, Mr. and Mrs Maxwell. Do you need a ride?”
“No need!” Conrad immediately refused with a cold frown. It was Peter. This man… he was definitely not a good
person.
Fia stared at Peter’s warm and friendly face, and then she looked at his eyebrows. She felt that this man, even
though he was smiling, emitted an eerie, malicious aura.
Especially his eyebrows. She could almost feel the scent of evil coming out from them.
“I see. Then, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be taking my leave.” Peter then drove away.
Fia asked instinctively, “Is he here to see Britney?”
“No idea. I am not interested to find out either.” Conrad was still putting up his poker face. He was still upset that Fia
talked back at him to stand up for Silas and Tiger.
Unsatisfied, Fia smacked his arm. “Can’t you talk properly?”
“I…”
“Mr. Maxwell, I would like to have a word with you!” Barbara suddenly showed up from the stairs, ascending from
the parking area, and interrupted them.
Conrad glared at her coldly and ignored her. Fia, on the other hand, had some respect for Barbara because she
was a strong, independent woman. So, she said to her softly, “If it’s about
work, we could talk about it tomorrow in the company. We are planning to head home now.”
“Silas is still fetching your ride. And I won’t take much of your time.” Barbara insisted, “I am here to talk about
Britney.
“After she got hurt to protect Mr. Maxwell, she did not get a word of comfort from you. And now, she was dismissed
from the company! Just what wrong did she ever do to you?!”
Conrad’s eyes turned as cold as ice as he replied, “My turf, my rules. If I want to fire anyone, you have no right to
question me.”
“She’s my sister! I know her very well! She is a kind and gentle girl! How could you…”
“Director Thomas!” Conrad interrupted her coldly, “If you keep on with this, I’ll have to fire you too.”
“…” Barbara widened her eyes, completely stunned from what she heard.
Fia hesitated for a moment before softly speaking to her, “Have you paid close attention to her lately? Don’t you

“She is my sister!” Barbara retorted furiously, “If Mr. Maxwell insists with his rash decision, then there’s no point for
me and my sister to stay in this company anymore!”
To which, Conrad countered, “Good. Remember to hand in your resignation letter.”
Barbara glared at Conrad with her reddened, teary eyes, “I never knew that Mr. Conrad Maxwell is such a clueless
man who could not differentiate between private and business matters. I was such a blind fool for joining your
company!”
Conrad frowned upon hearing this. He recalled all the hard work that Barbara had done for Maxwell Corporation.
Back then, Parker Group was fighting tooth and nail to get her to join. them. However, she kept on refusing them,
insisting on staying with Maxwell Corporation.
“Barbara, no one is perfect. Besides, if we set aside that matter about your sister, I do recognize and am grateful
that you’ve been serving our company loyally all these years. But this is no reason for you to emotionally blackmail
me.”
Barbara wanted to retaliate with a good comeback, but no word came from her mouth.
All her life, the kind of people she hated the most were people who mixed personal and business matters. From the
moment she tolerated nepotism-allowing her sister to become her assistant without going through the full official
procedure and vetting process-she had already become the kind of person she hated most.
