Chapter 499
Annie was able to completely neutralize the tricky spot she fell in.
Fia remained in her seat elegantly, with her hands folded on her lap. There was no sign of weakness in her blinded, yet beautiful
eyes.
Annie waved a waitress over and ordered twelve dishes. The
flavors of the dishes were quite varied. There were poultry, fish, cattle meats, and even a fruit salad in the mix. These would
surely cover everyone’s taste buds.
Her colleagues looked at her with astonishment. The total cost of these dishes would cost a fortune.
After ordering those, Annie smiled at the waitress. “And a bottle of 82‘ Lafite, please.”
Several colleagues could not help but gasp at what she did.
A bottle of 1982 Chateau Lafite would cost at least 40,000 to 45,000 dollars.
“Annie, you don’t have to spend this lavishly for the treat.”
“Yeah, you’re new in the company. And it’s the beginning of your career. You haven’t earned much money yet.”
“We get that you’re a generous host… but this is simply too expensive a meal for a treat…”
“It’s okay. It’s not expensive.” Annie took a cold glance at Fia. I’m treating Mrs. Maxwell to lunch. So, I can’t mistreat her.”
Fia beamed up a warm smile. “Annie is such a good girl. Come
on, everyone. Let’s chow down.”
Everyone looked at one another with confusion. They could sense a weird, eerie vibe between Annie and Mrs. Maxwell.
One of them opened her mouth cautiously. “There’s still work in the afternoon. Perhaps I shouldn’t drink…”
“Don’t worry. Mrs. Maxwell is here. I’m quite certain that even if we’re too drunk to work later on, Mr. Maxwell won’t be mad at us.” Annie put on a sweet smile. “Isn’t that right, Mrs. Maxwell?”
Annie was trying to put pressure on Fia, trying to see if it would break her. A glimpse of panic, fear… Anything would do! Just a glimpse of that, and it would be her victory.
However…
Fia still maintained the appearance of an elegant, noble lady.” Miss Parker’s right. Rest assured, girls. I’m here with you. Please, do enjoy yourself.”
Meanwhile, Tiger had heard everything nearby.
He took a look at Annie, wondering if he should report this to Conrad. However, the madam seemed to be enjoying herself. If he told Conrad this, and he came to spoil the fun, this would make the madam upset!
If the madam was upset, then Conrad would be upset too! Then, he and poor Silas would be on the receiving end of Conrad’s wrath!
Sigh. It was probably the best for him to just keep on observing.
A while later, the dishes were served. Annie’s colleagues did their best to serve Fia, fearing that she would not be able to have
her meal properly without her eyesight.
Fia put a hand over the meal being served to her and rejected gently. “It’s alright, girls. I had a few bites at home before
coming here. So, I’ll just have some dessert. Please, don’t worry about me and enjoy your lunch.”
The girls let out a sigh of relief and thanked Fia for her generosity before digging in.
Annie opened the 1982 Chateau Lafite and began pouring everyone a glass. Fia was the last she served.
“Mrs. Maxwell, would you fancy some of this?”

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....
