Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446 

However, that was more than ten years ago. Later on, Victor was pretty dutiful. 

She also knew that Conrad wasn’t a petty person. 

What exactly did Victor do to make Conrad reject him all this while? 

“Don’t understand why I reject him so much?” 

“Yeah, I feel like you are a little over the top.” 

Conrad did not wish to tell Fia about the Maxwells’ matters. However, due to Eileen’s matter, the both of them had directly torn off the facade of peace. He should tell her to remind her as well. 

“Actually, back then, he was the person who had the highest chance to take over Maxwell Corporation.” 

Fia listened attentively and asked, “Didn’t he not have interest in taking over the Maxwells’ business and wanted to start from scratch to prove himself?” 

“That’s not the case. Back then, Grandpa had given him a chance. In order to gain an overseas collaboration, he had sacrificed the interest of the company, which made Grandpa furious.” 

Fia frowned. Grandpa Maxwell was a principled man and even her grandma had told her about it before. 

Especially when it came to working with others abroad, Grandpa Maxwell would rather earn less money than sacrifice his own principles for gain. Victor’s actions were no doubt hitting the wrong nail. 

“Grandpa decided he was insufficiently qualified to touch the family business and therefore removed him. from the Maxwells’ business.” 

Conrad’s expression turned even colder. “Before we got married, did you hear about Grandpa getting admitted to the hospital in the middle of the night due to food poisoning?” 

Fia tensed up and said softly, “Yes, my grandma was very happy back then, and even brought me to the hospital to visit him.” 

At that time, Victor’s parents both accused Conrad of causing his grandfather’s food poisoning because he had the intention of controlling the entire Maxwell Corporation by getting rid of the chairman. 

Thinking back on this, she still felt frightened. 

“Although Grandpa had personally said that he had eaten the wrong food and that it had nothing to de with anyone else, in actuality, it was Victor!” 

“What?” Fia froze, recalling her interaction with Victor because of Eileen. 

She felt that he appeared to be gentle and well-mannered, and did not seem like such a person. 

“Otherwise, why do you think that his family had never dared to target me all these years?” 

Fia’s heart sank to the depths of the valley. “Because your grandpa and you both have a hold on him.” 

“That’s right!” Conrad’s tone was extremely bad. “Grandpa still cares about the old ties and does not want the grandchildren of the Maxwells to be fighting internally. Before his death, he still wanted us to peacefully coexist.” 

Thinking of Eileen, Fia felt heartache. 

A man who was able to make a move on his own grandfather was definitely vicious. 

No wonder after Eileen got pregnant, he made her go for an abortion. 

It was no wonder he had insisted on having a marriage alliance with the Starlings. 

Instantly she felt that there was nothing good to mention about Victor’s character. 

Circling her arms tightly around Conrad’s waist, she said, “Are you telling me all these because you are. worried that you will clash with him in the future?” 

“Yes.” Conrad patted Fia’s hair. “The matter of Eileen is considered to have torn the peace between us.” 

“Conrad.” Fia raised her head. Even if she could not see him, it was as if she was staring at him tenderly. 

“If he bullies you in the future, you don’t have to worry about me. Just do what you have to do.” 

Conrad frowned and was speechless momentarily. 

Fia stuck her face into his embrace, comforting his heart. 

“I am your wife. I will stand on your side.” 

“Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to face your best friend?”
