Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 1143

She quickly entered her room to receive the call in private. “Hello?”

“How are you lately?”

A cold, modulated voice could be heard from the other end of the call. The voice that was clearly a result of a voice changer was still always as cold and uncomfortable to hear. Still, Beryl had gotten used to it by now.

Every time she received his call, she would feel a rush of excitement. Even though she had not met this man behind that voice changer before, he had given her a great sense of security.

After all, her son had become so submissive and docile to her in the last five years. And it was all thanks to him!

“It’s my honor to be able to assist you,” the man said with a grin.

“It’s the old Mrs. Maxwell. Your mother, sir.” Silas said as he looked at his boss cautiously, careful to not provoke him, “I need to talk about her.”

“What is it?” Conrad asked coldly, “Are you asking me to doubt her?”

Then, he pinched his brows and said, “Silas, you’re too paranoid. She and I have been getting along fine in the past five years. She’s a good mother.”

Due to Beryl’s threat, Silas could not spill the beans about the whole truth to Conrad. Still, he had to say something. “No matter how great a mother she is, you still need to be wary, sir. You need to be wary of everyone, and this includes us and her.”
