Conrad nodded and walked into the hotel without looking anywhere else.
In the lobby, Victor had already drunk three glasses of water as if he was on fire. When he saw Conrad walking over, he slammed the glass on the table and looked at him with eyes that could spew fire.
“Oh, are you that angry?” Conrad said as he sat opposite of him and threw the document over.” Read it.”
Victor grabbed the document and simply slammed it on the table. He wasn’t in the mood to read it.
“Be direct. What will it take for you to give Eileen back to my company?”
“There are so many female celebrities here. What’s so special about Eileen?”
Victor was stunned by the question.
Conrad didn’t wait long for Victor to respond and sneered, “You don’t even know yourself! All you wanted to do was to make her stay with you. Aren’t you worried that you’ll force her to commit suicide?”

“If Ms. Reid wasn’t Fia’s best friend, I wouldn’t have bothered,” Conrad said, looking at the men opposite him darkly. “You should consider that I did help you on this matter. It would have been too late to do anything if she had taken her own life!”
“You must be joking! I’ve never mistreated her in my company! Since the day she started, I’ve given her the best offer I could. There’s nothing for her to complain about!”
“Cousin.”
Although Conrad called him that, he had no respect for the man before him.
“We’re both Maxwells, but you’re more foolish than me.
“What do you mean?!”
“Don’t you think you’ve fallen in love with Eileen?:
“Impossible!” Victor argued. “I can have any woman I want. I’m only
she’s prettier and has a better body than many others!”

Conrad frowned deeply and looked at Victor like a rubbish pile. He was also thankful he wasn’t a Casanova and stupid like Victor.
“If that’s the case, do what you like.”
Conrad didn’t want to waste his breath and immediately walked out.
Victor took the document and saw the amount Conrad would pay him. He couldn’t believe it as he watched Conrad leave the hotel.
That selfish and violent man gave him thirty million just for Eileen?
She was just an actress. He could find a better actress anywhere!
He took the pen and signed. The contract was in effect. Then, he snapped a photo and sent it to Conrad.
Conrad had just left the hotel when he received Victor’s photo before he shook his head, “There’s no saving him.”
“Sir?” A girl’s voice called out, and Conrad turned over and looked at her.

Conrad looked at her coldly, noting the resemblance of her eyes to Fia.
“That day, you drove the car too fast, and I fell out of shock. Don’t misunderstand me. I wasn’t planning on asking for compensation. I just want to greet you.”
Conrad nodded and was going to leave.
Annie quickly said, “Are you the director of Maxwell Corporation?”
“What do you want?” Conrad’s expression beceven colder.
“Well, I was originally a French teacher, but I was thinking of changing my career. Then, I saw the hiring advertisement that you’re looking for translators, so…”
“Just go submit your application!” Conrad left afterward.
Annie looked at him leave as her heart thumped wildly in her chest.
She didn’t know a small interlude would allow her to meet her idol! She had heard of his reputation even when she was already overseas. Unfortunately, he didn’t like interviews, so it was hard to find his photos. That was why she didn’t recognize who he was immediately the last time.
“Miss,” Victor held the document in one hand and slowly walked toward Annie.
Annie looked at him warily before asking, “Who are you?”
“I’m Conrad’s cousin, Victor.”
