Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697 

Conrad smirked. “You didn’t know? Or you thought that I am easily fooled?” 

Fia anxiously responded, “Eileen submitted those designs on my behalf. She said a newly founded foreign company needed designs…. I didn’t know it was Argonauts Corp. I didn’t even know Jason has connections to Argonauts Corp…” 

As she was telling him all these, Fia realized just how weak of an excuse those words sounded. 

She quickly checked Gentle Stream’s recent designs with her phone. Indeed, those were the designs that Eileen helped her submit when she lost her eyesight. Those designs earned her a lot of money… They even came with high commissions… And Jason’s recent attitude… 

She let her guard down. Even if it was a newly founded company, or any company at all, it was impossible for them to pay her that much. 

“Fia, you’ve always doubted me. But what about me?” Conrad glowered at her coldly and continued on slowly, “I’ve always known that you’re helping Jason behind my back. Yet, I never confronted you about this. I have faith in you. I’ve always thought that if, in the end, you’d always choose me and take my side, I can turn a blind eye to all of these!” 

“I’m not helping Jason. It was Eileen that helped me submit those designs. I could not see at the time, and Eileen never told me about…” 

The more Fia thought about it, the clearer she could see the whole picture. Eileen would always find excuses and never give her that company’s contact details when she asked for them. Why? 

Conrad had still a lot more to say but he stopped and did not want to talk about them anymore. He was in an extremely foul mood. He did not know if Fia was telling the truth. Still, if he wanted to know the truth he could always order Silas and Tiger to investigate. 

“This discussion is over.” Conrad wiped his face with his hand and asked, “I’m heading back to the office. Are you coming with me?” 

Fia looked at his reddened eyes. “No, I’m heading home for the afternoon.” 

“Sure. Tiger will send you home.” He turned and left as soon as he finished his words. He was afraid that they would continue arguing non-stop if they were together. 

Not long after Conrad left, Tiger came. 

“Madam, I’ll send you home.” 

“Thank you.” Fia stood up and left with Tiger, still thinking about what Conrad said earlier. 

She knew Conrad had always held a grudge against his father. This made him hate and despise Jason and Clarice. 

If her designs had indeed helped Jason Evans secure his position in Argonauts Corp, Conrad must have been really disappointed in her. 

After getting in the car, Fia asked Tiger, “How long has Conrad known about my designs falling into Evans’s hands?” 

Tiger thought for a moment before replying, “For quite some time now.” 

“…” So, that meant that if she had not gotten into a quarrel with him today, he would not have lost his composure and told her all of this. 

“Those designs you gave Mr. Evans was his first project in Argonauts. The project was completed in a rather short time, and the products sold really well. Originally, the senior members on their board and management looked down on Mr. Evans due to him being a rookie in business-you know, him being a doctor before all this. Now, he had won their respect and this was all because of your designs.”
