Chapter 717
“No need. I’m hungry. I don’t want to wait anymore.”
She entered the dining hall and had dinner alone. Her mind was still on Britney’s matters.
When she was almost full, she suddenly had a thought and got up to go upstairs. She took out her phone and made a call.
“Evans, can you get Mr. Gilbert to help and check Britney’s computer and handphone? Don’t let go of any fine details!”
Jason agreed and after Fia hung up, he looked at Kent, who was sitting opposite him.
“Fia can’t have called you, right?” Kent made a guess.
Jason nodded, picked up his drink, and drank it unhappily.
Seeing the situation, Kent was quite speechless.
“You didn’t drink much in the past. How did you become an alcoholic after you gave up medicine and entered the business world?”
“Things are no longer like they were in the past. Many things are not up to me.” Jason picked up the cup and finished the remaining alcohol before pouring himself another cup.
“Don’t drink so much!” Kent had a stern expression.
“It’s fine. My alcohol tolerance is actually not bad.” Jason pinched the center of his brows. “Kent, I’ve never told anyone this before.”
“Told what?” Kent asked curiously.
“Everyone only sees how glorious it was for me to have taken over Argonauts Corp. The old staff who have been following my dad don’t like me. I have to make Argonauts Corp better and get everyone’s support!”
“Jase, why do you have to do this? It’s not like you lack money. Even if you play for the rest of your life, you wouldn’t die of hunger!”
“When a person is alive, there is a need to do something practical for some people.”
“For Fia? Does she know?” Kent felt a headache. “She only has Conrad in her heart. There’s no room for
you at all!”
“It’s not entirely for her. It can also be considered for my mother as well,” Jason said with a bitter laugh.” The two of us have been through a lot in the past and even now, there are many people who look down on my mother. As a son, only by becoming more outstanding can I make her proud and endure less curses.”
Kent was stunned for two seconds before raising his cup to Jason and offering a cheer. “Then, I shall wish you all the best!”
Thanks. Then, I will have to trouble you with Fia’s matter.”
Kent pursed his lips. “Although you are not willing to admit to it, you have the same terrible character as Conrad! Both of you are competitive, proud, and protective!”
Jason gave a lonely smile. “We can’t escape from having the same blood flowing within us.”
Kent seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, “My mother mentioned that you had a younger sister?”
Jason was slightly stunned, but nodded a little bitterly after that.
“Is she really dead?” Kent asked carefully.
Jason said slowly with great difficulty, “Her body was never found.”
“So, it’s possible that she’s not dead, right? Could she have just gotten separated?” Kent heard from his mother that Jason’s mother had cried so hard back then that she went half blind and needed to go through treatment for over a year before recovering.
“She… didn’t know how to swim. And she fell into the ocean from a ship. Many people were sent out to search but her body was never found.”
Jason took a breath. His sister was not even three that year. He was already seven or eight and could remember things, and was also sad for a long time.

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....
