Fia shut her eyes. She didn’t want to know what happened anymore.
But Barbara had no one to turn to and told her everything in detail.
“When they were fighting, someone pulled down Britney’s hat and mask. My dad immediately said that she’s a hideous monster, that she’s going against basic morality, and said a lot of other hurtful things.
“He may be only treating Britney so callously because he doesn’t know the truth, it’s especially cruel toward her. She had gone through so much… Would she not feel upset when her own father was the one that said it? Not to mention that she was already emotionally scarred beforehand…”
Fia took a deep breath. “Have you ever thought about telling your parents the whole truth?”
“I almost did it today, but Britney stopped me. She must be really upset… That her own father couldn’t recognize her and said so many hurtful things to her.”
Barbara blamed herself for all of what happened as she lowered her head.
“I talked with her a few times already, telling her that we should tell our parents that she’s the real Britney. But she’s worried that they wouldn’t accept her in her current state, that they wouldn’t acknowledge it…”
Fia was at a loss. Could any parent be so cruel toward their own flesh and blood?
Sophia immediately said, “She’s their daughter! How do you know that they wouldn’t accept her? Are you two overthinking things?”
“No!” Barbara shook her head with disdain in her eyes. “You don’t know the kind of person my dad is. In his eyes, only profit matters! All those years ago, he was like a brother to Uncle Hall. But just because he could profit from it, he didn’t care about their relationship at all! With how Britney looks like right now and she hasn’t recovered fully, I…
“If they couldn’t accept how Britney looked like right now, she’ll simply suffer even more!”
Fia opened her eyes and said in a daze, “So, you’re looking for a surgeon to restore her appearance?”
“That’s right!” Barbara said. “But I’ve visited many surgeons and none of them has the confidence to return her to her original look.”
Fia was silent for a moment before saying, “Find Peter.”
Barbara almost choked. “Are you joking? He’s the one that made Britney like this!”
Fia gulped and said, “Has your sister told you everything that happened to her?”
“What do you mean?” Barbara asked, confused.
“If I’m right, Peter wasn’t the one behind her getting splashed by acid,” Fia said with a sigh. “However, this was all because of how heartless he was in the first place. That was the reason why she went through all of it.”

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....
