“What’s wrong with him?” Eileen asked.
“Someone was causing a ruckus in the northern suburbs. He was at the scene and got hurt.”
”
Eileen bit her lips before asking, “Is he badly injured?”
Hearing this, Fia hesitated, not knowing if she should tell her the truth. It was quite clear now that Eileen was
Conrad’s half-sister. This would also mean that she and Victor were first cousins.
In short, they should not get romantically involved ever again.
Sophia drove slower and said cautiously, “To be frank, he had it coming. Tiger told me that the northern suburbs
rightfully belonged to Sir. He was generous and yielded the land to him. Heh, his cousin should have stopped
thinking about robbing others’ lands.”
Sophia had heard a lot of stories about Victor in the past few days from Tiger. The more she learned about him, the
more she felt this man deserved what he got! He was an ambitious man but, deep down, he was just a talentless

the business world! If the northern suburbs had been handled by Conrad, things would have turned out better! Now
that the land had fallen into the hands of this talentless moron, it would take ages before any proper development
could be done there.
“Indeed, he had done too many appalling deeds, Karma had finally caught up to him,” Eileen said as she secretly
worried for Victor.
Fia saw the worry brooding in Eileen’s eyes. She understood that feeling all too well. The feeling of worrying for the
man she held dear.
“Eileen, he cares about you a great deal. Victor was the one who brought up tracking Sapphire’s phone when we
could not locate you via GPS. He even rushed to the scene to save you despite still being injured. The man drove his
car so fast that he almost crashed into other cars along the way.”
Hearing Fia’s words, Eileen’s eyes began welling up with tears.
“No, that’s just how he behaves. He’s always so brash and reckless. This doesn’t mean that he cares about me.”
Fia held her hand and said, “Fair enough. Frankly, I’m glad that you think this way.”
Eileen gave a smile and said, “Silly girl, are you afraid that I’ll get mad at you if you didn’t tell me news about him?”
“Yeah. I don’t want to keep secrets from you.”
Eileen hugged her and said, “Aw, you’re such a good friend. Come here! Lemme give you a squeeze!”
“I’m sorry, Eileen. I couldn’t help you with anything at all.”
“Fia, I know you have been doing everything to help me. All you did was for my own good. I’m a grown-up now so I
can see it. You urged Conrad to help me deal with Victor’s contract. You and Conrad even created a new
entertainment company to help me. I have nothing but gratitude to you, Fia!”
Fia was relieved hearing this from her best friend. At the same time, she also felt sad for her. Although she did not
say it out loud, Eileen still had feelings for Victor and it would probably take her her whole life to move on.
“You can continue pursuing your career overseas, you know? I reckon it’s much better than coming back to Fortuna
to face the ghosts of your past.’
Eileen lightly tapped on Fia’s back and jested, “Aw, how can I not come back though? You can’t possibly think I’d just
leave you here alone and stand by while you’re being bullied, hmm? Besides, you have no idea how troublesome it
is to speak to foreigners in a language you’re not fluent in. It’s such a pain living overseas!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia gave her a smile before hugging her back. “I see. Then, allow me to wish you a bright, successful career ahead,
future superstar!”
“Hehe! Wishing you a safe, easy delivery too! And may you and Conrad’s marriage be as impregnable as a
diamond!”
Hearing their conversation, Sophia felt envious of their friendship as she continued driving the car. She did not get
to make a friend like that -a childhood friend who grew up together and had each other’s backs.
Oh well, all she could do now was protect Fia and her babies! That was her mission!
On the road, Eileen told Fia about her life overseas. She talked about how she got the chance to meet with a
superstar that she idolized her whole life. Yet, when she finally got to meet him, he did not seem to be as perfect as
she imagined to be.
“Oh my, you must be so disappointed!” Fia said.
“Disappointed? I was devastated! He’s such a Prince Charming when we saw him on the silver screen. Yet, he’s
actually a sleazy, perverted jerk off-camera! He’d always flirt with and run his hands on every pretty girl he meets.
Like he’s never seen a babe ever his whole life!”
Then, Eileen sighed. “I will stop fangirling any idol or superstar from now on!”
“What’s fangirling?” Sophia asked curiously.
Eileen said teasingly, “Oh dear, we’ve got an innocent Barbie as our driver. She’s so innocent that she doesn’t even
know what’s fangirling.
