Chapter 320
Fia held Conrad’s arm tightly with refusal all over her face.
He bent over to kiss her forehead and pulled her hand away.
“Don’t worry, Fia. Wait for my return.”
Fia sniffed. She didn’t raise her hand to grab his sleeve as she cried.
Silas took a few steps after him before Conrad roared at him. “Go back and take good care of my wife or I’ll break
your leg!”
“…but sir!”
“You’ve worked for me for years now. You know how I am!”
Silas gritted his teeth and nodded.
“Silas, I don’t need you here. Find someone to get him out of there!” Fia said with a firm expression on her face.
Silas hesitated and said, “Don’t worry, madam. He’ll come back in one piece.”
“I don’t need you to take care of me!”
“Please, madam. Don’t make this hard on me. You know how he is, right? If I go against his direct orders, he is

Fia’s expression turned sour. “Since when has he ever suffered something like this?! He was well–taken care of
since he was little!”
Silas was stunned. He realized that he needed to tell her things that she didn’t know.
“Madam, he didn’t have everything easy like you think. When Old Master Maxwell was still around, he would
frequently send him off to train when he was little. The training was hellish… It was frequent for him to be thrown
into the wilds for two weeks or more.”
Fia was stunned. “Why didn’t I hear anything about this?”
“The old master didn’t want any outsider to know about this. He wanted him to excel beyond everyone’s
expectations.”
Silas sighed. “Sir didn’t like anyone talking about this either.”
“How do you know then?”
“Me?” Silas let out a helpless smile. “I’m one of the trainees from the Hellish Training Camp. It was pure luck that he
recruited me, and I did quite well with him, too. He has helped me, and my brother. If I didn’t meet him, we’d
probably still be struggling somewhere. We’d probably even end up as beggars.”
Fia was saddened. “It must be quite tough inside the Hellish Training Camp.”
“Of course. Compared to the interrogation room, the interrogation room is nothing. So don’t you worry, alright,
madam? He’ll come back in one piece.”
“Then, do you know the content of the suicide note the driver wrote?”
“The police took it away already, but I’ll find a way to get it. I’ll show it to you later.”
“Sure!” Fia looked at Silas hopefully. “Don’t stay here and protect me. Go back to work.”
“But…”
“If you’re still worried, arrange for a few bodyguards to stay here.”
Thinking that Esme was also in the station and the entire Manning household was in chaos, no one should be
targeting the madam.
“Then promise me, madam. Don’t leave this ward. Don’t go anywhere, and don’t see any strangers!”
“Of course!” Fia forced a smile. When she remembered the injury Conrad had suffered on his back, she couldn’t
simply have Silas wait together with her no matter how strong Conrad was.
Silas arranged for six bodyguards to guard the ward before saying that Mrs. Taylor would deliver the meals as he
left.

some questions later.”
Conrad didn’t even look at Priscilla since he got out of the car.
Once he got in, she slammed the door shut.
It was very dark inside. There was no light, no window,
He didn’t even know where the light switch was.
He instinctively wanted to open the door and tell Priscilla to switch on the light but realized that the door could no
longer be opened. Someone had locked it from the other side.
He kicked the door before cursing in the darkness, his back against the door.
In the darkness, a human’s other senses would be heightened. Conrad suddenly felt something in front of
him.
He narrowed his amber eyes. As his eyes got used to the darkness, he spotted a shadow in front of him. He wasn’t
sure if it was a human or something else.
It was approaching him silently, but Conrad could still hear a weak sound.
He tightened his fists. As soon as he attacked, he would grapple him!
