Conrad pressed on with his proposal, “There’s something in it for you too.”
“Right! I knew you wouldn’t ask me to do it for free! But what about you?” Tyler sounded a bit pissed.
“Your cousin is a bad apple in your family. He had iting. You don’t have to he him, you know?”
“But Eileen is Fia’s best friend. Fia cares about her a lot. And Eileen would not stand by and watch
Victor get into trouble…”
The truth was that Conrad did not want Eileen to have anything to do with Victor ever again! Still, he
could not tell the whole thing to just anyone.
Tyler rolled his eyes at Conrad. “What? You’re going to interfere with other people’s rtionships too?”
“Fia doesn’t want her best friend to get hurt again.”
“Fine, I’ll help you. This is all for your dearest wife.” Tyler pouted. “But I ain’t gonna do it for free. I want
some of your cousin’s stocks.”
“Sure, I’ll have Ss negotiate it for you.”
“No, it’s fine. I can negotiate it myself! If he doesn’t agree, I’ll just opt for the more forceful approach!”

”
Conrad responded with a smile. He knew very well that Tyler was absolutely capable of taking on Victor
himself.
Thus, Tyler left the vi to deal with the matter. He did not bring his wife home because he did not want
to disturb her happy time with her idol in the Maxwells’ living room.
Seeing that her husband had left, Mary sniggered. “My husband’s left. He probably went out to do
something for Mr. Maxwell.”
Fia nodded. “I guess so.”
Mary then said, “I think Mr. Maxwell is leaving soon too. So, after he leaves the vi, wanna go see
Britney Thomas? Just the four of us?”
Fia hesitated. “But is this right? If things get out of hand, your good name will be ruined alongside
mine.”
Sophia puffed up her chest and said, “Don’t worry! I’ll protect you!”
Eileen said, “I can ask Kent to find us some people to help us. It’ll be fine.”
??
Seeing just how excited her friends were, Fia did not have the heart to turn them down. Well, they were
not doing anything bad. They were just going to give that wench a scare.
“Fia, I’ll head back to the office. Don’t wait for me for dinner.” Conrad descended the stairs with some
documents in his hands.
“When are youing home?”
Pondering for a few seconds, Conrad said, “I’ll be back before 10 p.m.”
He took a look at Eileen, Mary, and Sophia before saying, “I’ll leave my wife in yourpany then.”
“Sure! You go do your business.” Eileen said, “It’s been a long time since Ist saw Fia. We’ve got a lot
to catch up on. In fact, you don’t have toe home too if you don’t want to!” Hearing this, Conrad
pulled a long face. If it weren’t for the work piling up at the office, he would not have left Fia to Eileen’s
care. This woman was such a trickster. Who knew what kind of weird thoughts and ideas she would fill
Fia’s head with this time.
“Don’t leave the house.”
Conrad ordered again before leaving.
Seeing that he had left, the girls’ eyes glittered with excitement. It was then that Mrs. Taylor called them
for dinner. After having a good bite, the girls went upstairs.
Sophia surveyed the rooms and concluded that the small storeroom next to the study was the best spot
to evade the bodyguards. So, she took out a rope from her handbag and tied it to the window, sliding
down to the ground floor.
Seeing just how swiftly Sophia descended with the rope, the three girls were stunned as they stood
next to the window.
Fia shrugged and said, “Sophia had years of training. So this isn’t a big deal to her.”
Mary asked, “Is my baby, William, going to learn these things too?”
“I don’t know. Maybe.”
Mary clenched her teeth and said, “Then I’ll have to go first. I want to experience what my baby’s
feeling right now.”
Fia put a hand on her shoulder and said, “Maybe I should go first.”
