Chapter 537
“What do you mean?” Conrad asked.
“Should we send Madam Barbara’s sister to another department to avoid any negative effects on Madam Barbara’s reputation?”
“Barbara herself isn’t even worried about her own reputation, so what are you worrying for?” Conrad’s attitude was a little heartless. “If work progress is affected by her sister, the both of them can just leave together!”
Fia was speechless.
Her husband was so stern. She wanted to say something but did not quite dare to.
As a wife, she should not meddle too much.
Forget it, she’d just listen quietly. Her husband’s words were not
wrong.
Since Madam Barbara dared to directly hire her sister to be her assistant, then she should have the boldness to bear all the
consequences!
Therefore, Britney easily entered Maxwell Corporation and became Barbara’s assistant.
***
In the afternoon, the hour for lunch.
Silas went to the canteen to order food for Conrad and Fia, and coincidentally met Barbara leading Britney along.
He looked at Britney a couple of times, who was acting obedient, her eyes never wandering around, appearing to have a little fear of socializing.
That look made him think of Fia back then when she also acted carefully.
He did not think too much. With Barbara’s character, her sister’s character should be fine too.
After ordering the dishes and sending them back to the CEO’s office, Silas returned to the canteen and prepared to find a corner to eat his own food he ordered.
He suddenly heard someone calling him. “Mr. Silas!”
He looked over in surprise, it was Madam Barbara.
This woman had always been proud and indifferent. Aside from work matters, she would never call him, and definitely not in the canteen during a meal.
“Mr. Silas, come over. I have something to tell you,” Barbara said with a semi-cold look.
Britney, who was by her side, quickly glanced at Silas, as if very
fearful.
Silas hesitated for a couple of seconds before carrying his plate over.
“Madam Barbara, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Eat first.” Barbara was not anxious.
Silas felt that women like her who had too much of a character gave the most headaches. He quickly finished his food and looked at
Barbara to ask her what the matter was.
A hand reached over, offering a napkin.
“That… Mr. Silas, it’s for you to wipe your mouth.”
“Thank you.” Silas accepted the napkin Britney offered and his first impression of her was not bad.
“It’s only a small matter.” Britney looked obedient and a little shy, lowering her gaze.
Silas looked at her for a short while then looked at Madam Barbara.
Barbara said a little uneasily, “I’m sorry. About me hiring my own assistant, I didn’t discuss it with you all beforehand…”
“No worries, Mr. Maxwell said that you could make your own decision on your assistant.” Silas purposely smiled in a c*nning manner. ” However, you should take good care of the people you bring in, and don’t bring any trouble to the company.”
Britney, who had her head lowered, never changed her expression, pinching her palm tightly before managing to maintain the obedient and timid character of “Britney”.
Barbara patted her own sister’s stiff back.
“Just tell Mr. Maxwell to be at ease. My sister’s character is perfect.
She will not cause any trouble for the company.”
“But what if?” Silas kept his c*nning smile on.
“If that happens, I will resign on my own,” Barbara said boldly. She
believed in her own sister.
“Barbara!” Britney had an aggrieved and worried look. “Don’t do this kind of silly thing for me. I think it’s still better for me to leave.”
“What do you mean to leave? You’re already here, so just work properly. You better work hard for my sake!”
Britney had teary eyes as she looked at Barbara in pain and then glared at Silas somewhat angrily.
Like a child being forced into a corner, she said, “Why is there a need to speak to my sister like this? If anything goes wrong, then I will leave on my own! My sister has been in Maxwell Corporation for so
long. Could it be that you still don’t believe her?!
“How can there be such a person like you?!” She muttered aggrievedly then lowered her head and no longer raised it.
Silas frowned, feeling that bit guilty.
Madam Barbara was trustworthy, and those words were merely to test Madam Barbara, to avoid any ‘what ifs’.
Her younger sister, who was sitting in front of him, was too timid and sensitive. The two sisters were really worlds apart!

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....
