    Chapter 844


    “Brother, I am not spouting nonsense. I’ve checked with the hospital. After her mom’s death, Fia


    became mentally unstable. The doctors have determined that she has severe clinical depression,” Finn


    said.


    “Poor child…! Why is her life so full of suffering and turbulence?” Conall pulled his hair andmented


    sorrowfully, “It’s my fault. I was the one who caused Fia and Echo so much pain. If I didn’t leave them


    back then, Echo and I could have given Fia a proper family. She would have been able to grow up


    healthily and happily.”


    Holding a tray with tea, Joy climbed up the stairs and noticed the door to the study was half- opened.


    Her face turned grim and sullen as she stood next to the half-open door and overheard their


    conversation.


    Shaken by what she heard, the teacups on the tray shook and fell to the floor, breaking into pieces as


    tea spilled everywhere.


    Conall frowned and looked at the door. “Who’s there?”


    “It’s me!” Joy opened the door in anger. “Conall, I’m so disappointed in you!”


    She then rushed to his side. “Do you still have any conscience in you?! Are me and Felicity not


    important to you at all?!”


    Joy welled up with tears as her hands trembled in anger. She was so pissed that she was about to


    throw hands with him.


    “Joy, please calm down. Conall is just feeling sorry for them. He did not mean to say he doesn’t think


    you’re not important to him.” Finn approached them to pacify Joy.


    Pushing Finn away, Joy red at Conall and asked, “How could you say something like that? Did we


    force you to marry me?! You and Echo Lawson aren’t meant to be together, and you’re the one who left


    her! You wronged her, not me and Felicity! So you should not make us pay for your mistake! You have


    a family now so you must always remember to act the part! You’re my husband and Felicity’s father!


    You should not be this selfish!”


    “Mom, stop! Please be more understanding of Dad.” Felicity hade upstairs and overheard her


    mother’s wailing. She walked into the study and embraced the teary, mncholic Joy.


    “Understanding? For what?! He wants to leave us!” Joy wailed dolefully.


    “Dad is just feeling sad for Fia. He didn’t mean it.”


    Felicity then apologized to her father and uncle before bringing her mother out of the study.


    Then she held her mother’s shoulders and said, “Mom, you shouldn’t be this impatient. The more you


    fight with Dad, the more he’d mourn for Echo Lawson. In the end, he’ll despise you and things could


    end up against your favour.”


    “That woman is already dead! She can’te back to harm me!”


    Felicity sighed. “Could you stop doing this for my sake? If Dad begins to hate you, he’d begin to loathe


    me too. What’d I do when that happens?”


    Joy was stunned to hear this. She anxiously said to her daughter, “Don’t tell me he’s nning to leave


    all his inheritance to Fia?! Felicity, you need toe up with something! You can’t let


    your father do this!”


    “Then you should behave and not upset dad, okay?”


    “Okay! I won’t say anything to upset him anymore. Even if he says something like that again, I’ll


    pretend to not hear it.” Joy clenched her teeth and said, “No matter what happens, we must secure


    your father’s inheritance. We can’t allow it to fall into the hands of an outsider!” “Mom… Dad is still


    living quite healthily. How could you think about the inheritance?!”


    Felicity was speechless when she heard Joy say something like this.


    Her mother had a tendency to speak without thinking. And when she did try to use her head, Joy was


    not a bright person, always choosing to do the most stupid thing. Seeing her like this, Felicity could not


    help but worry about her.


    “1… I wasn’t thinking straight. I mean, I don’t want an outsider toe and rob everything from us.”


    Joy embraced her daughter and walked downstairs. “Due to your father getting injured, there is a lot of


    work piled up in thepany. Could you please quit your job overseas ande back to help your


    father?”


    Felicity frowned. “I am not interested in working for Parker Group.”


    “How are you not interested? We only have you, our only child in the family! If you don’t inherit the


    company, are we supposed to stand by and watch Annie take over?” Joy said, fuming.


    “Annie isn’t suitable to lead Parker Group,” Felicity said sternly. “I’d rather the board of directors pick


    Fia than her.”


    “What are you saying?!” Joy pped her daughter’s arm and said, “She’s your enemy! How could you


    think about giving up your father’spany to her?!”


    Felicity sighed. “Just saying. Besides, Dad isn’t that old. So there is no need to find a sessor for the


    company just yet. If there indeed is a need to find one, Fia fits the bill more than Annie. She isn’t just


    capable. She also has Conrad Maxwell and Maxwell Corporation backing her.”

    Joy was surprised to see her daughter siding with Fia so much. She pinched Felicity’s arm and said,


    “My poor daughter, why can’t you think more for yourself?”
