Chapter 320
Fia held Conrad’s arm tightly with refusal all over her face.
He bent over to kiss her forehead and pulled her hand away.
“Don’t worry, Fia. Wait for my return.”
Fia sniffed. She didn’t raise her hand to grab his sleeve as she cried.
Silas took a few steps after him before Conrad roared at him. “Go back and take good care of my wife or I’ll break your leg!”
“…but sir!”
“You’ve worked for me for years now. You know how I am!”
Silas gritted his teeth and nodded.
“Silas, I don’t need you here. Find someone to get him out of there!” Fia said with a firm expression on her face.
Silas hesitated and said, “Don’t worry, madam. He’ll come back in one piece.”
“I don’t need you to take care of me!”
“Please, madam. Don’t make this hard on me. You know how he is, right? If I go against his direct orders, he is going to fire me.”
Fia’s expression turned sour. “Since when has he ever suffered something like this?! He was well–taken care of since he was little!”
Silas was stunned. He realized that he needed to tell her things that she didn’t know.
“Madam, he didn’t have everything easy like you think. When Old Master Maxwell was still around, he would frequently send him off to train when he was little. The training was hellish… It was frequent for him to be thrown into the wilds for two weeks or more.”
Fia was stunned. “Why didn’t I hear anything about this?”
“The old master didn’t want any outsider to know about this. He wanted him to excel beyond everyone’s expectations.”
Silas sighed. “Sir didn’t like anyone talking about this either.”
“How do you know then?”
“Me?” Silas let out a helpless smile. “I’m one of the trainees from the Hellish Training Camp. It was pure luck that he recruited me, and I did quite well with him, too. He has helped me, and my brother. If I didn’t meet him, we’d probably still be struggling somewhere. We’d probably even end up as beggars.”
Fia was saddened. “It must be quite tough inside the Hellish Training Camp.”
“Of course. Compared to the interrogation room, the interrogation room is nothing. So don’t you worry, alright, madam? He’ll come back in one piece.”
“Then, do you know the content of the suicide note the driver wrote?”
“The police took it away already, but I’ll find a way to get it. I’ll show it to you later.”
“Sure!” Fia looked at Silas hopefully. “Don’t stay here and protect me. Go back to work.”
“But…”
“If you’re still worried, arrange for a few bodyguards to stay here.”
Thinking that Esme was also in the station and the entire Manning household was in chaos, no one should be targeting the madam.
“Then promise me, madam. Don’t leave this ward. Don’t go anywhere, and don’t see any strangers!”
“Of course!” Fia forced a smile. When she remembered the injury Conrad had suffered on his back, she couldn’t simply have Silas wait together with her no matter how strong Conrad was.
Silas arranged for six bodyguards to guard the ward before saying that Mrs. Taylor would deliver the meals as he left.
“Please enter, Mr. Maxwell.” Priscilla pointed at the door. “Please manage your emotions well. Someone will ask you some questions later.”
Conrad didn’t even look at Priscilla since he got out of the car.

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....
