“Britney?” Barbara held Britney’s shoulders tightly. “You heard everything I said, right?”
Britney mumbled, “Barbara… I was just thinking… Maybe… He was deceived too?”
“How could he be deceived?! He’s hurting you so much and he did all of it himself! No one forced him!”
“But…”
“Britney!” Barbara wanted to continue to console her, but her phone rang suddenly.
“It’s him again.” She showed her phone to Britney. “Do you want to answer?”
Britney looked at it with mixed feelings and finally said, “Why don’t you pick it up?”
Barbara sighed and picked up the call. “Hello?” Her tone was very chilling.
“Barbara, there’s something I need to ask you,” Peter said in an icy tone. He didn’t feel any guilt despite committing so many crimes.
“I don’t believe there’s anything for us to talk about.”
“Barbara.” Peter held his phone tightly and said, “If you don’t talk to me, I’ll talk to your parents directly!”
Barbara’s chest tightened. “What do you mean? We don’t owe you anything! Do you think you’re in a position to speak with me in such a tone?”
“There are things that can still be found out despite so many years having passed… I never investigated it because I never held any suspicion toward your family!” Peter’s temper was getting the better of him as he asked in an angry tone, “Why didn’t you join your family’s company? Why aren’t you willing to take over the family business?!”
Barbara raised an eyebrow. “It’s because I don’t want to be bound and I want to find my own fortune.”
“Lies!” Peter immediately hung up the call.
“Barbara, what happened?” Britney asked, worried when she saw Barbara’s dark expression. “Did he say something hurtful?”
“Britney…” Barbara was getting a headache.
She forced herself to forget, but Peter’s call forced her to face it head-on.
The sin that their father committed all those years ago could no longer be hidden.

The readers' comments on the novel: Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
I had known that the ending would be like this , I would never had read this book. It didn’t have a right ending at all. Made no sense. Don’t waste your time....
Evil should never win and Lucifer has harmed far to many....
This should not end this way. Fia, rather than following Lucifer’s evil path should reflect and realize that she has always loved Conrad and he has always loved her. Their problems were due to the interference of others, Beryl, Esme etc . Since she is the only one that can approach Lucifer, she and Peter should cooperate with each other, kill Lucifer and evil Beryl, Peter can remove the toxins/ poison from everyone and each will be able to live normal lives without interfering with others relationship's. The children deserve their real father who will love them dearly and provide and protect them with the life they deserve. Gia has been a fool since the beginning and has believed everyone but her beloved husband. Please end this on a good note, that is why we all read these stories, everyone loves a happy ending....
