“Mr. Silas, since you know that I’ve already achieved financial independence and that I’m not lacking money, why would I steal gifts that another woman gave to him? Am I the idiot here? Or are you the idiots?” Barbara was furious. Her tempestuous nature would not allow her to endure such an accusation!
She was not her little sister that needed help with everything!
Silas frowned and realized that something wasn’t right as well.
“Sir, since we haven’t finished our investigation, let’s not pin the crime on her just yet?”
However, Conrad had been suppressing his anger the whole day. Now that he had found something, he felt that Barbara was simply being disingenuous!
It must be because she was not happy with Fia, so she stole Fia’s packages so that the two of them would fight!
“Madam Barbara, we found the packages in the bin outside your office!”
“And that proves that I took them?! There are rows of translators right outside my office! Why don’t you suspect them?!” Barbara’s face was all red. She felt that she had just been humiliated.
She then glared at Fia. “What personal items did you buy for him, madam? Why does he look like an angry beast that’s out of control?!”
Fia frowned. Barbara was just as intense. Now that she had clashed with Conrad who had a similar temper, it would be very bad for the two of them to continue this fight.
She had heard about Barbara’s talents. She could communicate extremely well in the languages of ten countries, allowing them to
collaborate on projects with other overseas companies.
Regardless, before everything became clear, she couldn’t allow Conrad to fight with her.
“Conrad, before there’s any evidence, don’t offend someone else.”
Conrad frowned and looked at her. “Fia, the packages were found outside her office… She had to have something to do with this.”
Barbara’s indifferent expression instantly turned dark. “What kind of logic is that?! You need evidence even during a criminal investigation!”
And he told her to apologize as soon as she arrived?! Darn it! The disrespect!
“Mr. Maxwell, don’t you know that there’s something called being framed in this world?!”
“There are so many people in the company. Why must they incriminate you?!”
It was at this moment that Fia finally had a sense of how forceful Conrad was in the company.
But she couldn’t blame him. As he was at the top, he had to bear all the pressure that others didn’t have to. The stress made his temper
even worse.
“Madam Barbara, please go home for now,” Fia said.
“Fia.” Conrad looked at her with disagreement.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Fia sighed and waved at Conrad. “Come here.”
Conrad took back all his anger and crouched by her bed.
Fia patted his head and stroked his hair. In Barbara’s eyes, it was as if she was stroking the fur of a tiger.
“Don’t be so angry. It’s bad for your body. You have to take good care
of yourself so you can take care of your wife.”
Her tone was gentle, but she was being honest.
Conrad looked into her eyes. They seemed to be glittering?
“Fia, your eyes?”
Fia blinked and lowered her eyes, pretending to be sad. “Do you dislike the fact that I’m blind?”
“No.” Conrad turned around and looked at Silas. “Let her leave!”
Silas nodded and gestured to Barbara, asking for her to leave.
Barbara didn’t move and stared at Fia.
“Madam Barbara?” Silas whispered.
She then forthrightly said, “I didn’t take your packages. I didn’t steal them either. Thank you for your trust, Mrs. Maxwell.”
With that, she turned around and left.
