Chapter 1234
“I’m going home.” Eileen pushed Fia’s hand away and called Lyn.
Conrad confusedly looked at Eileen walking away before turning to Fia. “I really don’t know how I offended her.”
Fia looked back at him intently and asked, “She was one of the actresses working under you. Why did you fire her?”
“It was her who insisted on resigning.” Conrad frowned and said, “My mom said that she and her previous boss had sromantic history. So, perhaps she wanted to go back to her old boss. Yet, she did not get to return to him so she has no choice but to start her own company.”
Fia smirked. “Your mom told you that?”
“My mom’s niece is Victor Maxwell’s wife. Victor Maxwell is my cousin.” Conrad said.
“So, you instinctively think that Ms. Reid is a homewrecker? That’s why you don’t like her?”
“I do not think much of her. She and I aren’t close., Conrad said.

Conrad looked at her in surprise before asking, “What made you say that? Could you perhaps be feeling sorry for Ms. Reid and want to defend her?”
“Oh, of course not. You see, she and I aren’t close.” Fia began to close the door as she finished her words.
Seeing this, Conrad quickly grabbed onto the door to stop her. “Have the children woke up? I want to see them.”
Fia rejected him coldly. “They don’t need to see you.”
“But don’t you think the children like me?”
“Just how thick-faced are you, Mr. Maxwell?” Fia retorted, “Children have pure souls. They like anyone who treats them nicely.”
“Really?” Conrad recalled how the twins treated him. They treated him much better than how they treated Silas.
“They like Ms. Reid more than you.” Fia closed the door harder after saying that. However, Conrad was not letting go, blocking the door with all of the energy he had.
Seeing this, Fia got even more annoyed. “If you insist on causing trouble, I’ll call the police!”
“I am not intruding. I’m asking for your permission.”
“Don’t you understand human language at all?! I don’t like you disturbing our life!”
Fia said, fuming, “You’re the CEO of Maxwell Corporation! If you want, you could just curl your finger and have any woman that strikes you fancy on the street! If you find the Fortunese girls not up to your taste, you could go overseas and find those exotic, foreign girls too! Can you please not lust over a married woman like me?!”

“What you’re doing right now is causingunnecessary grief in my family! If my husband learns of your recent misdeeds around me, he would be pissed at me! You’ll be solely responsible if my marriage is ruined! Aren’t you afraid of Karma’s wrath, Mr. Maxwell?!”
Hearing this, Conrad let go of the door dejectedly. “Alright…”
Slam!
In an instant, Fia slammed the door shut!

Fia mumbled as she turned toward the living room and, to her surprise, her children had been standing behind her all this time, with little Milo running between their legs excitedly.
“Mommy, you’re so rude just now,” Adrian said in a timid tone.
Irene seemed to agree with her brother too. “You were being too rude to Uncle Maxwell. He wasn’t being rude to you.”

Observing their mother’s silence, Adrian said, “Mommy, you taught us to be polite to people.”
“But you aren’t polite to Uncle Maxwell at all.” Irene finished her brother’s sentence.
Scratching her hair, Fia said patiently, “Please forgive Mommy, dear. I just got up from bed so I’m not in a good mood.”
Adrian and Irene said in unison, “You should apologize to Uncle Maxwell.”
(( ))
Clenching her fists, Fia tried her darndest to calm herself. If these two were not her kids, she would probably beat them to a pulp… Ahem, she would probably “discipline” them properly.
After disciplining them, she would then add one more rule of the house-“Mommy’s always right!”
