Chapter 697
Conrad smirked. “You didn’t know? Or you thought that I am easily fooled?”
Fia anxiously responded, “Eileen submitted those designs on my behalf. She said a newly founded foreign company
needed designs…. I didn’t know it was Argonauts Corp. I didn’t even know Jason has connections to Argonauts
Corp…”
As she was telling him all these, Fia realized just how weak of an excuse those words sounded.
She quickly checked Gentle Stream’s recent designs with her phone. Indeed, those were the designs that Eileen
helped her submit when she lost her eyesight. Those designs earned her a lot of money… They even came with
high commissions… And Jason’s recent attitude…
She let her guard down. Even if it was a newly founded company, or any company at all, it was impossible for them
to pay her that much.

always known that you’re helping Jason behind my back. Yet, I never confronted you about this. I have faith in you.
I’ve always thought that if, in the end, you’d always choose me and take my side, I can turn a blind eye to all of
these!”
“I’m not helping Jason. It was Eileen that helped me submit those designs. I could not see at the time, and Eileen
never told me about…”
The more Fia thought about it, the clearer she could see the whole picture. Eileen would always find excuses and
never give her that company’s contact details when she asked for them. Why?
Conrad had still a lot more to say but he stopped and did not want to talk about them anymore. He was in an
extremely foul mood. He did not know if Fia was telling the truth. Still, if he wanted to know the truth he could
always order Silas and Tiger to investigate.
“This discussion is over.” Conrad wiped his face with his hand and asked, “I’m heading back to the office. Are you
coming with me?”
Fia looked at his reddened eyes. “No, I’m heading home for the afternoon.”
“Sure. Tiger will send you home.” He turned and left as soon as he finished his words. He was afraid that they would
continue arguing non-stop if they were together.
Not long after Conrad left, Tiger came.
“Madam, I’ll send you home.”
“Thank you.” Fia stood up and left with Tiger, still thinking about what Conrad said earlier.
She knew Conrad had always held a grudge against his father. This made him hate and despise Jason and Clarice.
If her designs had indeed helped Jason Evans secure his position in Argonauts Corp, Conrad must have been really
disappointed in her.
After getting in the car, Fia asked Tiger, “How long has Conrad known about my designs falling into Evans’s hands?”
Tiger thought for a moment before replying, “For quite some time now.”

and told her all of this.
“Those designs you gave Mr. Evans was his first project in Argonauts. The project was completed in a rather short
time, and the products sold really well. Originally, the senior members on their board and management looked
down on Mr. Evans due to him being a rookie in business-you know, him being a doctor before all this. Now, he had
won their respect and this was all because of your designs.”
Fia’s temples twitched and ached upon hearing all this. So, this was probably why Jason was trying to ask. for her
designs when they met today.
All a sudden, Fia felt as though she was treated like a fool. She was kept in the dark all this time!
As soon as she got home, Fia locked herself in the bedroom and dialled Lyn’s, Eileen’s personal assistant, number.
Lyn handed the phone over to Eileen, softly whispering into her ear, “It’s Ms. Fia. She sounds upset.”
“Oh, don’t you worry. You should rest for now.” Eileen handed her tablet over to Lyn as she received the phone, so
that her adorable assistant would have a toy to play with before her bed time.
After Lyn left, Eileen, acting as though she did not know Fia was in a bad mood, jokingly asked, “Hello, sweetheart!
Is my lovely Fia missing me?”
Fia closed her eyes and responded coldly, “Did you give Evans my designs?”
