Chapter 290
Conrad looked at her as memories from the past began to resurface.
When he was younger, he provoked many people. On campus. From the community.
He fought everywhere he went.
While she was gentle and subservient.
She would be goaded by a lot of others because of him.
There was this one time after class, she was forced into an alley and was almost…
“Conrad, despite our love, how can you treat me so cruelly? I… I would rather die back when I was seventeen!”
When she was seventeen… That was the time when she was almost…
It was after that that he wanted to better protect her. He held her in his arms and made that promise to her.
That was how the two of them confirmed their relationship.
But what he didn’t know was that another girl was also stopped in an alley that night and was beaten up.
If it wasn’t because she was too young and too thin, it would have been even worse for her.
The girl didn’t dare to go to school for half a month because of that.
She refused to tell her mother the truth. She simply said that she fell down the stairs in a mall because she wasn’t paying attention.
“Mr. Maxwell, the madam is still in the hospital. You need to give her an explanation before she wakes up,” Silas reminded him, worried that he would soften his heart in the final moment.
Conrad looked away and said, “Assistant Director, we can talk about this later. I need to accompany my wife now.”
“Sure, we can talk next time. But what I need to talk to you about is also quite important.”
“Tomorrow morning then.” Conrad gave him a time before leaving.
Silas stayed behind to make sure that Assistant Director Manning did his job properly.
Originally, he wanted to calm his eldest brother down but he couldn’t do anything like that.
“Take her back first.”
“Uncle, what about when Fia paid them to attack me? Isn’t that a crime too?!” When Esme saw Conrad leaving, she couldn’t care less about anything else and began questioning him.
Lola then said weakly, “My cousins have already told them everything. Fia didn’t ask them to do anything. to you. They did it themselves.”
“How is she? Is she awake?”
He no longer understood her.
“Conrad… I may not have the evidence, but I have a powerful sixth sense. I can feel it. Don’t you think that it’s just too much of a coincidence for Fia to get into a car accident right now?”
Conrad said nothing and frowned.
Eileen then continued, “And the driver that coincidentally ran into the car that Fia was in is a driver employed by the logistics company owned by the Mannings?
“Not to mention that the driver’s son is very ill, and Hank even paid for his medical fees. I don’t think that the three of them are good people. They are so pretentious. They’re willing to do anything to reach their goal!”
“I’m still investigating this. I’ve already sent my people to keep the driver under 24–hour surveillance.”
Eileen turned to look at Fia in the ICU. “To think that you’re willing to go this far… You really surprised me. However, Fia’s the one who’s been hurt the most in this. You need to do more for her before it’ll ever be enough.”
“I know.”
Conrad looked at Eileen’s pale face and said, “I’ll accompany Fia from here on. Go home.”
Eileen frowned. She was on her period, and it was painful every time. She felt like a knife was cutting her from the inside.
“That works too. Let me know when Fia wakes up.”

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....
