Lowering her gaze, Fia paused for a moment before saying, “Then we have the same enemy.”
Barbara nodded. “Yes. This is also why I’m here to see you.”
“You’re here to ask me for help, my husband’s help.”
“Yes, I am.”
Fia smirked mockingly. “Don’t you know what kind of relationship my husband has with my cousin?”
Barbara and Britney were surprised to hear this. They did not know how to respond to her question.
“They were each other’s first crush. They will never forget each other. If me and Esme clash, I can’t even be sure if my husband would choose to side with me. Why’d you think he’d help you?” Fia replied with a self-loathing smile.
Barbara looked at Britney before saying to Fia apologetically, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. It’s just… I’m out of options now.”
Fia smiled at her. The Thomas sisters could not convince her to help.
Britney, who was quiet all this while, suddenly said, “You’re carrying Conrad Maxwell’s child.”
Fia frowned and looked at Britney warily. “What do you mean?”
“He had married you, slept with you, and allowed you to carry his baby. This means that, at the very least, he has some feelings for you. Don’t you want to wager on that?” Britney said gloomily.
Fia stared at Britney as she recalled Sally describing how innocent and bubbly she was in her youth. After surviving a huge betrayal from her crush, she was now physically and mentally scarred.
Her soul had to have gone through a huge, grim change from this experience.
This reminded Fia of Peter. He was a good person once. He was a good son and brother in the Hall family. Yet, he had morphed into a soulless demon.
Even though the exact experience between these two vary, Peter and Britney were probably mentally scarred beyond repair.
“Britney.” Fia called out to her, referring to her with her real name. “Is your soul still fine?”
Britney’s body trembled upon hearing this.
Barbara felt so remorseful that things turned out like this. She apologized earnestly. “I’m really sorry. We didn’t mean to hurt you. We didn’t bring this up to mock you…”
“Get out!” Fia interrupted Barbara coldly.
She was no fool. The Thomas sisters had done their homework and knew her deepest scar. They knew about it yet they still brought it up.
This meant that they did not have any respect for her at all.
If they had no respect for her, what was the point in joining forces?
Besides, she loved Conrad. She had loved him for so many years. She had gone through so much yet she did not intend to leave him at all.
This was why she could not trust Britney. Although she felt bad for her, there was no way she could trust her. If they worked together to take on Peter and Esme, it was quite likely for Britney to forgive Peter if he were to appeal to and manipulate her feelings.
When that happened, the tables would be turned and Fia would be completely surrounded by enemies!
Barbara said anxiously, “Fia, please don’t be angry. My sister’s been through a lot so, like you, she’s emotionally unstable. She said those because she’s getting anxious.”

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....
