Chapter 319
“What’s going on?” His tone was as cold as the Arctic winds.
“The driver’s dead!”
“Which driver?”
“The truck driver that ran into the madam.”
“What happened?”
Silas looked at Fia who sat up. “Should we speak outside, sir?”
“I can’t hear about it?” Fia asked in an upset tone.
Conrad patted her head and said to Silas, “Just say it.”
“A few minutes ago, he suddenly jumped out of the window. He was pronounced dead on the spot.”
Conrad frowned and said, “Why did no one from the hospital tell us?”
“Doctor Hall, Doctor Evans, the hospital director, the police, and the forensic team had all gone to investigate this!” Silas’s expression darkened. “I believe that this is a scheme…. I just don’t know what the person behind this wants.
Fia then said, “Aren’t the driver’s legs hurt? How did he get up the window?”
“He used a chair to climb up the window. It is quite difficult. I wonder what made him so determined.”
Conrad suddenly remembered the driver’s ill son. “How’s his son doing?”
“His son is in the ICU, so he probably doesn’t know. His wife found out about it and fainted from the news. “Sir, the reason I came here is because I think it’s best for you to leave. I feel like the target is you.”
Silas had just finished when a string of footsteps came from behind him. It was Assistant Director Manning and his men.
“Mr. Maxwell, the driver that injured your wife had committed suicide.”
Fia immediately argued, “What does that have to do with my husband?!”
Conrad’s heart warmed and he patted her back.
“Don’t worry. I’m still here.”
Fia looked at him with mixed feelings. The plotting against him had already been set in motion and yet he still told her not to worry.
It was such a strange feeling. Despite their long marriage, it was the first time that he treated her like this.
“He left a suicide note saying that you threatened and hit him every day, so he committed suicide. He also said that Mr. Maxwell was doing it because he wanted to avenge you,” Assistant Director Manning said in a serious tone as he stared at Fia.
“Impossible! He made it up!” Fia argued with confidence. “He’s been taking care of me 24/7, so he had no time to see that driver at all! It’s impossible for him to threaten or beat him because he didn’t have the time!”
Conrad smiled and patted Fia’s head and joked, “How can you be so sure that I’m innocent? You don’t know what I’m doing when you’re asleep.”
“Stop joking around! Can’t you see what the situation is right now?” Fia said with red eyes. She couldn’t simply stand by and do nothing when the police were working against him.
“Come back to the station with us. We’ll know if you’re involved in this after the investigation,” Assistant Director Manning said as he took a step forward. “You can understand how hard this is for me as a lawful citizen, right? Mr. Maxwell?”
“Of course. Of course, I do.” Conrad looked at Fia gently without even giving Assistant Director Manning so much as a glance.
He knew that there would be trouble coming his way when he wanted to spread the Maxwell Corporation’s influence to the capital city.
He didn’t expect it to come so quickly though.

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....
