Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 162

When Fia heard about Ford from Silas in the past, she didn’t believe it.

In her eyes, Conrad was someone very profit -driven when business was involved. He would place only

the interest of the Maxwell

Corporation and himself first.

She couldn’t imagine him helping another without expecting any returns.

“Problem?” Conrad could sense her staring at him. He stopped and looked at her.

Fia looked at the direction where Ford left and then scanned her surroundings. She was sure that no

one else was around.

“How did Ford manage to start this farm?”

“If you’re asking me that question, it means that Silas told you something.”

Conrad looked at the farm extending to the horizon with praise in his

eyes.

“I was right. Ford is someone who’s willing to put in the work and he manages the farm quite well.”

“You really did invest in the farm?” Fia was shocked.

“Yes, I did. But he had already paid me back the starting capital. He even pays me some interest every

year.”

“Looks like you’re quite good at simply receiving money for free!” Fia ridiculed him as she stepped

forward.

Conrad stared at her for two seconds before stepping forward and catching her hand.

“Let go!” Fia said as she tried to get free. Instead, he put even more strength into it.

“You’re my wife. And we’ve just shown how loving we are in front of

the reporters. If we looked too distant and others saw it, they would really believe that we’re acting.”

“There are no reporters here!”

“But there are eyes everywhere.”

Conrad then led Fia into the big, wooden building with classic architecture.

Fia could feel some of her gloom dispelled by the scent of the logs.

They could hear someone laugh in front. It was quite familiar.

“Fia!” Jason called out.

Conrad grabbed Fia’s hand tightly as his eyes turned cold.

Fia smiled and asked, “What a coincidence! You’re here to relax too?”

“Yeah, and discuss something.” Jason then introduced the man next to him. “This is my childhood

friend, Kent Gilbert.”

Kent greeted them in a respectful tone. “Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell.”

Fia gasped in surprise. “How do you know about us?”

“I’ve been watching the local news lately. You’re very famous,” Kent said half–jokingly as his eyes

stopped at Conrad. “Especially you, Mr. Maxwell. The top business in Gryphon. I heard that many of

the businesses here were spearheaded by you.”

Conrad said in a cold and aggressive tone, “Are you done? Leave if you’re done.”

He pulled Fia’s hand away and wanted to leave.

Fia said angrily, “How can you be so disrespectful!”

“We’re here to relax, not to talk business!” Conrad glared at Kent coldly as he tightened his grip around

Fia’s hand.

Fia looked at Jason but he simply waved his hand, signaling that they’d be fine.

The two of them left the wooden building and Kent said to him,” Looks like Conrad Maxwell is not

someone easy to deal with.”

“You’re afraid of him?”

“Why would I be? What I’m doing has nothing to do with him at all,” Kent said as he patted Jason’s

shoulder. “I’ve known you for so many years… How can I not know what you want?”

“What do you mean?” Jason turned around and looked at his childhood friend.

“You treat his wife differently.”

“How did you figure that out?” Jason didn’t want to hide it from Kent.

“The eyes.” Kent patted Jason’s shoulder again, much stronger this time. “You’ve never looked at

another woman that gently.”

“Ha!” Jason let out a laugh, hiding the loneliness in his expression.

“This is one relationship that I don’t want to touch.” Kent gave Jason. a massage on the shoulder and

said, “Bury it. Conrad’s too good. She won’t fall for you.”

Jason simply gripped her hands tightly and didn’t say a word.

“Well, you’re good too. You gave up on your family inheritance, fought on your own in the medical field,

and became the biggest shareholder of a big hospital. But you can’t use your hospital to compare with

Conrad, can you?”

Kent shook his head. “Hold it in, understand?”

“I know,” Jason said as he released his fists.
