“What about her husband?” Fia asked.
“Barbara is already divorced…” Silas suddenly frowned. “Wait a
minute. I heard from Winnie that Barbara was married to someone from the Parkers, the famed household from the capital city! It was a second marriage for the man, too!”
“Annie Parker… Parker?” Silas was stunned. “Don’t tell me that
Madam Barbara is related to Annie?”
Conrad realized it too after he linked the lines together.
“Finn is also from the Parker household from the capital city.”
And Annie was his daughter!
Conrad’s expression turned dark. “Call Barbara right now!”
“Right away!” Silas sighed. Why had they all gathered here? Was the world really that small? The Parkers were everywhere!
Barbara looked at the incoming call and stared at the girl standing opposite her desk.
“No matter who asks about it, don’t change your statement. Also, remember this very well. Mr. Maxwell isn’t someone that you should be thinking about. He doesn’t care who you are if he gets furious!”
Annie opened her mouth and said, “Auntie, don’t you think that Fia isn’t worthy of him?”
“It’s not up to you to decide whether she’s a good fit for him or not! Get out!” Barbara felt like she was getting a headache looking at her stepdaughter! Why did she think that she was someone pleasant when she was little?
She got into such huge trouble when she had just joined the company!
She picked up Silas’ call and answered all of his questions in her normal tone, without raising any suspicions.
After Silas hung up, he glanced at Conrad. He had put it on a loudspeaker, so his boss could hear everything. There was no need for him to repeat it again.
“Do you believe it, Fia?” Conrad asked with a shadowy expression.
Fia smiled and said, “Regardless, we found the gifts now. Open and see whether you like it or not.”
They’d already planned for this. She couldn’t force him to fire them, right?
It wouldn’t be good for her reputation.
Conrad was still angry though.
Fia then said, “Silas, open up the gifts and show the contents to him.”
‘No thanks! I can do it myself!” Conrad grabbed the branded boxes and opened each with one hand.
When he saw what was written on the underwear and the belt, he felt like he had a lot to say but couldn’t.
Silas extended his neck and then covered his eyes.
“I… I’m heading back to the office…”
He should run away. That was too much!
“Do you like it?” Fia asked.
Conrad looked at her and asked, “Did Ms. Reid help you choose the gifts?”
Fia clicked her tongue and said, “You’re so smart!”
“Only she could do something like this!” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“What happened? I know about the brands. They’re very good! I asked Eileen to have someone custom-make them for me. It’s definitely worth the price!”
He knew about the brands and knew that they were worth the price!
But the underwear and belt’s colors, pictures, and engravings…
Seriously?
And custom-made?
“Fia, I suspect that Ms. Reid had fooled you!”
When she heard how Conrad was gritting his teeth, Fia remembered how Eileen could act very oddly sometimes. She asked weakly, “What is it?”
“Because she toyed with me too!”
At that moment, Conrad was glad that he didn’t see it yesterday, otherwise, he would get even angrier!
“What about it? Eileen wouldn’t hurt us, right?”
“She’s not hurting us, but this is very humiliating !” Humiliating him!
“Huh?” Fia had a bad feeling and didn’t want to ask Conrad what happened.
In order to not make him have any lingering thoughts about this, she said, “Since it’s worn inside, don’t worry about it. As long as you can wear it!”
