Chapter 503
Fia’s uncles believed that Fia had fallen under Conrad’s
influence and that was why she did not want to acknowledge Conall as her father.
“I am her husband!”
“No one has the right to deny her the right to call him her father! Not even if our little sister comes back from the
dead!” Douglas scolded loudly.
Douglas‘ words struck a nerve. “How much money did he give you three for you to so eagerly want her to be his
daughter?”
Upon hearing this, Hector pointed a finger at Conrad’s nose furiously. “Don’t you spit these baseless accusations at
us!”
Fia frowned upon hearing her third uncle’s subtle stuttering in his words.
“Let’s go up to our office. We’ll talk there.”
Not able to refuse his wife’s wishes, Conrad reluctantly ordered Tiger to escort the three men to his office. He, on

After returning to the office, he put Fia on the sofa with a mug of warm water, a bowl of fruits, and some pens and
papers on the coffee table.
After that, he helped adjust the cushion on her back. “Feeling better? Do you need me to do anything else?”
Fia pulled his arm lightly and shook her head. “No, you did good.”
Conrad sat next to her, combing her hair with his hand. “If you don’t want to meet them, there’s no need to force
yourself to do it.”
“They are my mom’s closest relatives. If they really were bribed by that man, then I’ll need to say it in their faces
loud and clear.”
“No matter what happens, I’ll be on your side.”
Fia smiled. “Thank you.”
Her uncles were then invited into the office. After witnessing just how much bigger and fancier Conrad’s office was
compared to theirs, the brothers instantly lost their morale.
All this while, they had been treating their niece’s husband as though he was just another junior from the younger
generation, even yelling at him when he was not being polite to them.
Now, after seeing just how resourceful Maxwell Corporation was, the brothers began to regret coming over to his
office.
After serving them coffee, Tiger stepped out of the office.
Conrad took a glance at the three men sitting quietly on the guest sofa, as though they were some elementary
school children who were in detention.
“Why the sudden silence? Cat got your tongue?”
After looking at one another for a moment, Wallace, the oldest of the three, let out a few coughs before speaking.
“We went to Mount Reditus a while ago.”
Fia nodded her head. “I see. And?”
“We saw your father.”
“Oh, and?”
“He seemed very distraught and miserable. He almost jumped off a cliff.”
“Yet, he did not really jump though, did he? Fia said calmly. “So, why do you tell me this?”

Without a flinch, Fia replied, “Just be frank with me. How much money did he bribe you to convince me to agree to
be his daughter?”
How could their lovely niece talk to them like that? She did not even give them a chance to make their case.
“You’re not gonna tell me, are you?” Fia’s voice turned as cold as ice. “Then let me make this clear to you right
now.
“No matter how much money he gave you, no matter how many. promises he made you, it’s all just between you
and him! I want no part in this!”
“Fia, you’re not serious, right? We…”
Fia interrupted Wallace, not letting him finish his words. She did not care if this was considered disrespectful in the
family now. All she wanted was some peace and quiet!
“If you promised him to find him a daughter, you can just go get him one from an orphanage. Or perhaps you can
go home and work harder with your wives and birth him one for all I care! In
fact, the latter, sounds great! You’ll gain a lot of favor with the Parkers that way!”
“Fia!” Her uncles cried out to her anxiously.
“Just what kind of spell are you under? How could you say that?!“
