Chapter 412
After lunch, Ss came over.
Conrad had business he wanted to discuss with him, and so he wanted Mrs. Whitley to apany Fia.
Fia said, “I want to take a nap upstairs.”
Conrad didn’t refuse her and carried her up to the bedroom.
Once she was in bed, he removed her shoes and covered her in a nket. He then adjusted the air
conditioner to 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
He massaged her shoulder and said, “Ss and I will probably need half an hour. I’ll apany you
after we’re done, okay?”
“Alright,” Fia said as she closed her eyes.
Ss was waiting for Conrad in his study. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and looked at
Conrad.
“Sir, there are a few documents that need your signature.”
“Alright,” Conrad said as he sat in front of the desk and extended his hand. “Give them to me.”
He spent around ten minutes reading the document once again before signing after verifying everything
was done properly.
He nced at the door to the study and asked, “How’s the arrangement with Ms. Reid?”
“Everything has been prepared. Tomorrow is Victor’s marriage, so he’ll definitely be caught by surprise.
Now that the entire Gryphon city’s reporters have been bought off, they’ll all appear in the wedding.
That should force him to free Ms. Reid.”
“Good.”
“Sir… Are you really sure about forming your own overseas entertainmentpany and diverting all
resources to Ms. Reid?”
“She’s worth the price. We won’t make a loss.” Conrad once again looked at the study’s entrance
before giving back the signed document to Ss. “Go back to work.”
Ss received the document and walked out the study, and frowned when he saw the person in the
corridor.
He saw Fia wanting to leave by supporting herself with the wall, worried that the people inside might
find out about her.
But she was blind. No matter how smart and agile she was, she couldn’t do anything now.
Ss didn’t want to reveal her intentions and simply stepped forward and held her hand, whispering,
“Madam, where are you going? I’ll help you.”
Fia paused and said, “Third floor.”
So, Ss helped her up to the third floor.
“The balcony,” Fia said.
When they reached the balcony, Ss wiped the chair and helped her sit down.
“Madam, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to thepany now.”
“Let’s have a chat, Ss.”
The third floor was covered by a ss roof. The scorching summer sun felt warm thanks to it.
Ss looked at her face and couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat. He shouldn’t have helped her
up to the third floor.
He had to reveal the answers to whatever she asked, and all of her questions probably had something
to do with his boss.
“Since you didn’t reject me, I’ll start,” Fia said with a smile. “In your opinion, is he sad because Esme is
dead?”
Ss was speechless. ‘I knew it.’
“Madam, the matter with Ms. Manning is over. You should let it go.”
“Since you’re not answering me, can I assume that he is?”
“No!”
“During all that happened, he told you all to search for her 24/7, because he was hoping for her to be
alive, wasn’t he? Why wouldn’t he be sad now that all hope is lost?”
That was something that Fia wanted to know.
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
And she believed that Ss knew about it the best.
Ss looked at Fia speechlessly. “Don’t think too much, madam. He knows Ms. Manning, after all.
Since Ms. Manning’s parents were in shock, he had to take over responsibility to find her corpse.
“However, I don’t believe that the search for the corpse can represent anything.”
Ss paused before continuing, “I feel that he has developed feelings for youtely, but he kept on
being deceived by people and events and has only realized it now.”
“Are you trying to tell me this because you’re worried that I’ll be sad, Mr. Whitley?”
“Of course not! Think about it. If he really has no feelings for you, why wouldn’t he agree to the
divorce? It’s very easy for him to find a good woman that’s worthy of his station.
“Also, he is not a phnthropist. Yet, he paid a high price to help Ms. Reid. You heard everything just
now, didn’t you?”
