Chapter 617
“Oh no! How did the director’s office catch on fire?!”
“I can smell the scent of cable burning.”
“An electrical fire?”
“Where’s the main switch?! Go switch it off!”
The entire department was thrown into chaos as they didn’t know where the switch box was and kept on searching for it.
Conrad entered the huge office and saw a group of people searching around. He looked at the director’s office, and it seemed to be filled with smoke and there was a shadow of a figure inside.
He immediately turned around and went to the corridor, found the switch box that was hidden behind a painting, and cut off the power.
He then called security to extinguish the fire before running back to the department.
“Out, all of you! Now!”
When they saw Conrad, all of them seemed to have got back their senses and left. A few of them followed him to the director’s office.
In the smoky office, there was a woman coughing inside.
Conrad looked at the woman trying to save the folders inside the drawers, but the upper part of the drawer was already burning.
“Come out!”
The woman seemed to not hear him.
“Get the heck out!” Conrad roared again, but she was still trying to save the documents.
Ashes fell on her, and she screamed, but she still didn’t stop.
Conrad’s face turned dark. This was his company, and everyone here was a member of his staff. He had the responsibility to take care of all of them.
“Mr. Maxwell, don’t go in!”
“We’ve already called the firefighters!”
“They’ll come and extinguish the fire!”
The staff wanted to stop Conrad. But before they could even extend their hands, they already saw Conrad running in.
“Are you out of your mind?!” Conrad caught the woman’s wrist, dragging her away.
“No! There are so many documents! Cough!” The woman fought back, wanting to save more documents.
Conrad was becoming very irritated. He threw all the documents in her arms to the ground and then dragged her out of the office forcefully.
As soon as they got out of the office, he threw the woman to the floor.
Britney was thrown to the floor, and she cried out in fluster.
“So many documents… My sister said that the documents are in the drawer…”
Conrad looked at her sitting there coldly. Part of her hair was already singed and ash covered her face and body. There were even some holes in her clothes.
However, he wasn’t touched by what the staff did. Instead, he felt that she was so stupid!
“Do you want to die in that fire so your sister can start a crusade against me?” Conrad yelled angrily.
All the staff from the Foreign Affairs Department looked at Conrad in shock. They all felt that Britney was too courageous. None of them had her boldness.
However, they didn’t expect Conrad to give her any praise for her courage to help the company at all.

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....
