“Patrols twenty-four-seven and checking the food ingredients… Did something happen for Mr. Maxwell
to make everything so strict?” Mary asked curiously.
Fia looked at Sharon and William. She didn’t want to talk about her two miscarriages in front of them.
“There’s nothing wrong with being cautious.”
Mary frowned. When she saw her expression be somewhat mncholic, she quickly changed the
topic.
“Mr. Maxwell isn’t here tonight, too?”
Fia nodded. “Yes, he’s away for a banquet. Mr. Lane?”
Mary then said, “Also at a banquet.
Fia said curiously, “Then maybe they went to the same banquet.”
Mary nodded. “Should be. I didn’t ask him about it either. I went to pick the children he was leaving so I
didn’t ask for the details.”
Fia gave it a thought and asked, “Did Mr. Lane ask you to go with him?”
Mary shook her head. “Ever since I had my twins, I don’t like attending these events anymore.”

Fia patted the twins’ heads. “True. Apanying the children is much better than seeing all those fake
people.”
“Not only are they fake, but they also lie and deceive, as well aspare themselves with others. It’s
quite annoying,” Mary said with a sigh. “There’s a time when Tyler kept asking me to go with him. I
really can’t take those people.”
Fia remembered when she was little and said, “It’s good to apany the children when they’re
younger. As they get older, they won’t stick with their parents for long.”
Mary sighed and said, “True. They don’t know much when they were born and would only call out for
me. All they know is their mommy.
“But once they grow up and learn more, they don’t stick to me as much
anymore.
“And now, they adore you as their godmother. When they encounter people they like, they’ll have more
and more people inside of their heart,” Mary said and she couldn’t help but cry.
That happened to all mothers.
When the children were little, mothers would feel very tired. Sometimes they felt like they

were so tired that they couldn’t even breathe.
When the children grew up and had their own worlds, they became disappointed. Saddened.
“If I had known my mom would pass away so soon, I would have spent more time with her,” Fia’s eyes
turned red too as she said regretfully.
“Dinner’s ready! Wash your hands and eat!” Mrs. Whitley came over.
“Come on, let’s go and eat.” Fia tried to keep her head high and held one of the twins in one hand and
the other in the other hand.
The banquet was organized by the Gryphon Chamber of Commerce. Almost everyone who ran a
business in Gryphon was here.
It had been a long time since Conrad joined a banquet like this. The reason he came here was to
introduce Tyler to the people in Gryphon city.
People began to congregate around him thanks to his status.
When Tyler stood next to him, he whispered, “The people in Gryphon are even more annoying
than those from Oceania.”
“True.” Conrad held a wine ss. He would raise it whenever people would cheer on him, but he never
sipped the wine.
All of them could only feel awkward.
Tyler then got close to his ears and mumbled, “You can’t be this arrogant. A lot of people will
curse you.”
“Let them,” Conrad said expressionlessly.
Ss ran over quickly and asked those who were not important to leave. The ones left behind were
Conrad’s targets.
Conrad introduced Tyler to them and then gave him a nce, “Have a chat with them, alright?”
“Sure!” Tyler smiled gregariously and invited them to take a seat somewhere else.
When his surroundings were quieter, Conrad pulled his necktie and put down his wine ss, wanting to
send Fia a text.
“Mr. Maxwell.”
It was a vibrant but seductive voice.
Conrad turned and looked. It was a beautiful woman wearing a ck dress, smiling at him.”Have you
forgotten? Didn’t you tell me toe with you to the banquet yesterday?” Britney’s hands coiled tightly
in front of her.
