Chapter 854

“Mary, I need to make a call.”

“Sure,” Mary said, and she stood up. “I’ll go take a look at the father and daughter upstairs.”

“Sure,” Fia said. She then adjusted her breathing, so that she wouldn’t look very nervous or curious.

Once Jason picked up the call, she asked in a relaxed tone, “Evans, why did you suddenly text me? Did you hear

something?”

“No,” Jason quickly answered. “Something happened to Maxwell Corporation a few days ago and I saw the netizens

talking badly about you, so I’m just getting worried.”

Fia said, “You’re talking about the security footage from the shop?”

“Yeah, the one where you and Britney were buying jewelry,” Jason said.

Fia said with a smile, “Those are all edited. After Conrad posted the full video, they stopped.” Jason thought about

his encounter with Esme at Koi Gardens. He asked, “Will you be staying at Koi Gardens any time soon?”

“No, I’m not going back. Why?” Fia remembered that Jason was staying opposite her unit.” Are you staying there

lately?”

“Yeah, it’s closer to the company.” Jason hesitated for a moment before saying, “I have a few friends from overseas

coming over for the holidays. I want to look for a few units in Koi Gardens for them. Other than the one opposite

mine, do you own any other apartment here?” “Koi Gardens, huh? My mom only left one for me. But I remember

Conrad has about a dozen apartments here. I’ll ask him about it later on?”

“Sure. Thanks.” After Jason ended the call, his expression darkened.

He already felt something was wrong when he saw Esme in the elevator just now.

Despite the two bodyguards quickly removing their logos, he still saw that their logos were the ones used by

Maxwell Corporation.

He didn’t want to think too much about it. He only wished that he was overthinking things.

It would be best if Conrad didn’t do anything behind Fia’s back.

Meanwhile, thinking that it was a rare occasion for Jason to ask for her help, Fia quickly went back home and

headed to the study to find Conrad.

Conrad didn’t go to the company in the afternoon. Instead, he worked in his study.

As soon as she entered the study, she asked, “Conrad, do you have any apartment units in Koi Gardens?”

Conrad was slightly taken aback. “Why are you asking me that?”

“I have a friend who’s hosting some guests from overseas and he’s thinking of arranging for them to stay at Koi

Gardens. He’ll pay you rent,” Fia said sincerely.

Conrad’s expression didn’t change but he was already getting suspicious.

“Which friend?” he asked. “Other than Eileen, I didn’t know that you had other friends.”

“Our relationship is quite ordinary. We’re peers,” Fia said.

“Fia. I don’t want you to lie to me,” Conrad said as his amber eyes became sharp.

Fia had no choice but to honestly say, “It’s Evans’ friends…”

“How many does he need?” Conrad asked.

Fia happily asked, “You’re not going to refuse?”

“He’ll pay rent, right? I’ll rent to him,” Conrad said with a mild demeanor.

“He said he needs about a dozen, I think. Do you have that many? It’s fine if you don’t. You can rent out as many as

you have.”

Conrad looked at how naive Fia was acting, and he was feeling uncomfortable about it.

She was being naive because she trusted Jason.

He didn’t believe that Jason wanted to rent any apartment unit. That was just an excuse. He wanted to get

something out of her..

“I’ll talk with him about this. Don’t worry about it.”

Fia hesitated and said, “Sure, you two can settle it between yourselves then.”

Conrad nodded. “Sure.”

As soon as Fia left the study, she couldn’t help turning around and asking, “Maybe you should go and meet with

Evans directly? Talk to him face to face?”

“Sure,” Conrad said as he picked up the car key. “I’ll go over right now.”

“Sure,” Fia said, without any suspicion.

Meanwhile, Jason had just made some pasta and fried an egg. After eating his dinner, he was going to rest for a

while and sat on the sofa.
