Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 1233

“…”

Hearing Fia’s words, Eileen could do nothing but beamed an awkward smile at her. “Wow, you’re really sharp, aren’t you? Can’t you be just a little dull? Being a girl who’s a little of a dunderhead would win the heart of many men, you know?”

Hearing this, Fia answered with a sharp cynicism, “Really? Who’d truly love a truly slow-witted fool? Those men… They say they prefer women who're a little dumb because they want an ego boost. Or perhaps, they find women much more exploitable when they’re intelligently vulnerable.”

Hearing this, Eileen was so stunned that she could not refute that at all.

“Ms. Reid, I believe you’re not one of those dumb women. If you’re one, you wouldn’t make it this far in the entertainment industry.” Fia curled a bitter smile and said, “You have no idea just how much hurt and woe idiots have to endure in life.”

She was no idiot. Yet, she had fallen for Conrad Maxwell. So, when they were married, she allowed herself to become an idiot. She stooped so low that Conrad, Beryl, Esme, and many more despicable scums really did take her as an actual fool and took advantage of her time and time again.

“But Ms. Sia… How did you know? From how I see it, you’re a really brilliant woman.” Eileen stopped joking around and asked Fia earnestly.

Closing her eyes for a moment, Fia answered, “I was once a fool too. But I grew out of it.”

It was because she was too foolish that she got hurt so much back then. She would not allow anyone to hurt her like that anymore!

“You…” Eileen suddenly recalled Fia as she looked at ‘Ms. Sia’. “You really remind me of my best friend. It’s like… I have a hunch that you’re actually her.”

“You ought to see a doctor then, Ms. Reid,” Fia retorted coldly.

Wiping off her tears, Eileen said in a self-loathing tone, “Haha, I suppose so. See? She would never talk to me like this.”

“…”

Suppressing the urge to comfort Eileen, Fia stood up and said, “I’ll get a glass of water.”

…

The next morning, Conrad rang the bell on Fia’s door.

“Coming…!”

When the door opened, Conrad saw Eileen’s half-asleep face.

“Why are you here?”

“What? Why can’t I be here?” Eileen answered in disgust, “What are you doing at Ms. Sia’s home this early?”

Eileen was pissed after being reminded of this. The company was named “Fia-Eileen Multimedia” but suddenly the name was dropped due to it being completely merged under the Maxwell Corporation brand!

She wanted to reason with him, or perhaps tell him about Fia. Yet, there were always people in her way, not allowing her to meet him.

After learning that he and Annie were somehow romantically involved, Eileen got so furious that she handed in her resignation right away. She would rather go solo than work under this piece of sh*t!

From that day onward, Eileen had to work day and night because she did not have a powerful influence backing her.

“Ms. Reid, could it be that we have had some… quarrel before this?” Conrad was surprised by the intense hatred displayed by Eileen.

“Quarrel, you say?” Eileen suddenly felt that Conrad was such a pitiful man as she peered back at him.

She had lost the mood to tell him about their past long ago. Now, she only wanted to see him going through his life being clouded from the truth by the manipulative people around him, then waking up with his memories fully recovered and becoming anguished by the ghost of his past!

Even then, that pain he would feel would be just the tip of the iceberg of the torment Fia went through!

“Hey, let’s not get so worked up.” Fia pulled Eileen back, fearing that she might spill about the past in the heat of the moment.
