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.
Ss 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!”
Ss gritted his teeth and nodded.
“Ss, I don’t need you here. Find someone to get him out of there!” Fia said with a firm expression on
her face.
Ss hesitated and said, “Don’t worry, madam. He’lle 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 going to fire me.”
Fia’s expression turned sour. “Since when has he ever suffered something like this?! He was well–
taken care of since he was little!”
Ss 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.”
Ss sighed. “Sir didn’t like anyone talking about this either.”
“How do you know then?”
“Me?” Ss 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’lle 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 youter.”
“Sure!” Fia looked at Ss 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 Ss wait together with her no matter how strong Conrad was.
Ss arranged for six bodyguards to guard the ward before saying that Mrs. Taylor would deliver the
meals as he left.
“Please enter, Mr. Maxwell.” Prisci pointed at the door. “Please manage your emotions well.
Someone will ask you some questionster.”
Conrad didn’t even look at Prisci since he got out of the car.
Once he got in, she mmed 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 Prisci 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!
