Chapter 908
Conrad squinted, looking at Garrett coldly.
“Yet, you slept with her and had me. And you never took up the responsibility to raise me. You should pay the price
of your sins!”
Garrett was stunned hearing this. Then, he retorted in anger, “How about this? I’ll give you Argonauts Corp as
compensation! Is this enough?!”
“Do you think I want that stupid company of yours?” Conrad replied cynically, “Argonauts Corp? It’s even worse
than Maxwell Corporation. Garrett Maxwell, you should change your name. You don’t deserve to call yourself a
Maxwell!”
“Stop it. Please stop it…” Clarice was so heartbroken seeing her husband fighting with his flesh and blood like this.
Suddenly, the ward’s door opened.
“What’s going on?” Fia walked out the door feebly. Her steps were slow as she held a hand on her right shoulder so
as to not make her wound hurt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she saw Clarice kneeling on the floor, Fia frowned and tried to help her
1. “Please don’t kneel. We can talk after you stand up.”
Tears welled up in Clarice’s eyes when she saw Fia’s kindness despite what she had done to her. This girl
seemed kind and good-hearted. Too bad her boy Jason was not fortunate enough to wed a wonderful girl like
this.
“Ow… erm, I’m sorry, Auntie. My shoulder hurts so I can’t help you up. Please stand up, okay?” Fia grimaced in
pain when she tried to help Clarice up to her feet. So she could only ask the poor woman to stand up on her
own.
Nodding, Clarice held Fia’s hand and stood up.
“I’m sorry, dear. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I…”
“I understand.” Fia beamed at her gently. “You were doing it for someone you love. I understand your pain.”
Clarice stared at the girl before her silently. She had never thought she would one day meet someone much
more benevolent and kind-hearted than her.
Not saying a word, Fia pulled her hand out of Clarice’s before walking to Conrad to hold his
arm.
“I see that you’ve met my husband. Please don’t bully him.”
Fia furrowed her brows and said, “I know it’s not right for me to scold you because you’re our elders. But I’ve
known Conrad for a long, long time. He’s not an easy person to get along with because he did not have a
father’s love when he was a kid. So please don’t be so harsh on him.
“As for Mr. Evans, I believe my husband didn’t do that to him. He’s not someone who’d do something so
immoral and despicable. This has to be someone else’s plot. It’s clear they want
us to fight amongst ourselves so they could stab us in the back at the right moment.”
After saying this, Fia turned and looked at Garrett. “Sir, I’ve always thought you’re not a good father to him.
But I was wrong. You’re actually a good father. It’s just that you only show that side of yours to another son.”
Looking at Fia’s unyielding, innocent eyes, Garrett felt a pang of hurt in his heart. He had seen a pair of eyes
as innocent as hers. She reminded him of his daughter-his and Clarice’s
daughter.
“Get lost!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLosing his patience, Conrad raised his voice at Garrett and Clarice.
Fia glanced and pouted at Conrad before turning to Garrett and Clarice. “You can rest assured that I don’t
harbor any hard feelings for my wound. But please don’t rush to a conclusion yet about Mr. Evans’ accident.
Let’s wait patiently until the police uncover the truth.”
Then, she looked at them politely. “It’s getting late. Let’s call it a day and get some rest, We?”

After saying this, Fia pulled Conrad back into her ward and closed the door. Carefully carrying her up from her
feet, Conrad placed her on the bed and asked, “Why did you come out to meet them?”
“Why?” Fia tilted her head and asked, “Why can’t I meet them?”
“They’re just a bunch of selfish people. I don’t want you to meet them!” Conrad glanced at her shoulder and
said, “And you shouldn’t have forgiven them.”
“I’m fine. The wound isn’t that bad. Besides, he is still your father,” Fia replied in a timid tone, worried that
Conrad would lose his temper. He had always hated others mentioning his father.
Conrad let out a sigh before caressing her face as he tucked her in. “Sleep well. I’ll have Sophia come over to
accompany you first thing in the morning. I’ll need to head back to the office to handle some matters. So don’t
run off when I’m away, okay?”
