    Chapter 728


    “I suppose you’re right about that.” Fia was not trying to find out about Grandpa Maxwell. She was just


    feeling bad for Conrad. The greater of a man he was right now, the more hardship he must have been


    through when he was younger.


    She felt regret that she could not be there for him when he went through all that. She could not go


    through it together with him back then.


    “Honey, let’s try not to fight anymore from now on, okay?” Fia hugged Conrad’s arm tightly as they


    walked out of the ranch.


    Conrad stopped and put his arms around her. “Okay.”


    Fia nudged her head against his shoulder and said, “But I keep having bad thoughts from time to time.


    Maybe I’ve gone crazy.”


    “No, you haven’t. It’s my fault,” Conrad said to her anxiously.


    “No. I know quite well that there’s something wrong with me.” Fia thought about it for a while before


    saying, “How about this?”


    She raised her head and looked at Conrad. “Let’s go to a hypnotherapist.”


    “Why do you want to go to a hypnotherapist?” Conrad asked in confusion.


    Fia replied enthusiastically, “A hypnotherapist can erase all the memories of you off of my brain. So, I’ll


    remember only good things about you! Then, I won’t be reminded of how you mistreated me in the past


    and get angry. Our marriage will be a happy one!”


    Conrad frowned upon hearing this. Ss did suggest he seek help from a hypnotherapist, but he


    refused.


    “Fia, this is evading the root cause of the problem. It doesn’t solve anything.” He caressed her face and


    spoke to her earnestly.


    “If you forget some of our past, then our rtionship would not be whole,” he continued, trying to


    dissuade her from that idea.


    Fia looked at her reflection in Conrad’s eyes. She saw her younger self-that little girl who got bullied by


    a group of rich, spoiled brats.

    “Why would I want to keep the bad memories?” A shade of sadness loomed over her eyes when she


    thought about those painful memories. “Wouldn’t it be better that I forget them?”


    “Fia, if you forget…”


    “Conrad!!” A loud bark interrupted Conrad’s words. In his first instinct, Conrad pulled Fia to his back to


    protect her.


    Fia was surprised by the change of events. She took a peek over Conrad’s shoulder and saw Victor


    tossing a wooden bat at Conrad. Conrad raised his arm to block the bat tossed at him, and forcefully


    whipped his leg to kick Victor’s stomach, sending him flying a few meters away.


    “Oof!” Victor spit out some wine when he fell to the ground.


    “I see you have a death wish!” Conrad spoke to his cousin coldly.


    It was quite obvious that Victor was drunk from drinking too much alcohol. He stood up dizzily, putting a


    hand over his injured stomach, before barking at Conrad again.


    “You purposely sabotage my business! For what?! Because you don’t like me? Is that it? I worked so


    hard


    to obtain that hotel in Oceania! How could you take it away from me, huh? How could you and Tyler


    scheme against me like that?!”


    Conrad red at him coldly.


    Seeing that a crowd was gathering around them, Fia stepped out from Conrad’s protection and walked


    toward Victor.


    “Fia, don’t go near him!” Conrad pulled her hand to stop her.


    “It’s okay. Victor has never hurt me before.” Fia smiled and gently pushed his hand away.


    Conrad took a few steps back and red at Victor. He swore to himself. If Victor hurt her, he would


    chase him out of Gryphon City.


    “Victor, I have something to tell you.” Fia gave Victor a friendly smile.


    Victor’s anger dissipated when he saw . This woman was Eileen’s best friend. So, he had no reason


    to get mad at her. Nheless, Victor did not want to show weakness in front of his cousin. So, he


    pouted.” Don’t expect me to apologize to him! He was the one who crossed the line first!”


    Fia shook her head. “I just want to tell you something you might be unaware of.”


    After hesitating for a moment, Victor nodded. “Okay, out with it.”


    Fia turned to Conrad and said, “Give me some time to talk to your cousin, okay?”


    Conrad wanted to refuse but Victor mocked him sarcastically, “Don’t fret about it. This girl has gone


    through hell and lived. I won’t hurt her!”


    After walking away from the crowd, Fia looked at Victor and said, “Victor, I think you misunderstood.


    Conrad means you well. That hotel in Oceania is controlled by some shady people. If you…”
