“…”
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?”

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....
