Chapter 31
Beth was so angry that she stomped her feet. “You old fool! Why do I have a mother like you?!”
“Ha! How did I ever give birth to a b*tch like you?!” Thea’s words stung even more.
“What are you all fighting about?” A man’s deep voice rang as he pushed a lovable woman in. Beth turned around and hurried over, regaining some confidence as she did so. “Conrad! You’re back just in time. I’m speaking with Esme’s grandmother about the project.” Conrad frowned, and his eyes went to Fia who was standing in front of the hospital bed.
“Didn’t we already settle this matter? I’ll buy it off her with twice the market price.”
“What? Twice the market price? What for? When will we ever break even like that?!” Beth’s unwillingness was plastered all over her face. She could not allow her daughter to suffer such a loss.
She turned around and wanted to continue her argument with Thea.
“Ha!” Thea laughed out in a bitter voice. “I’ll make this clear today in front of you, Conrad. I’m not selling the project anymore!”
“You better transfer the title and everything you’ve earned in the last three years to Fia! Otherwise, I can sue you using your grandfather’s will as a basis! Once that happens, I hope you won’t hate me for destroying your company’s reputation, and you will no longer be able to continue your business in Gryphon!”
Conrad had always been a stubborn person ever since he was little. He didn’t even bother asking what happened after being threatened.
He simply said coldly, “You have three dutiful sons and I suppose you forgot how volatile society can be. Don’t think that you can threaten us Maxwells like that and get away with it so easily.”
When Fia saw Conrad pushing Esme into the ward, Fia was so heartbroken that she could only lower her head.
She didn’t want to look at him at all.
However, now she raised her head in anger. “How can you speak to my grandma like that?!”
Conrad looked away when his eyes met hers. Eyes that were filled with rage, disappointment, and disbelief.
He simply replied, “It’s a two–way street.”

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....
