Chapter 484
Sapphire didn’t have any reason to doubt what was reported and believed the story about how Eileen had fallen because she had been careless when changing the curtains.
She also thought that because she married Victor, perhaps Eileen was so heartbroken that it led to that careless action.
Back then, Sapphire felt victorious because she had married the man she always wanted.
Sapphire slowly looked up, her red eyes filled with tears. Looking at the man opposite her, she cautiously asked, “That day… Why did he look for Ms. Reid?”
Conrad’s cold, stern eyes held a hint of pity, but he remained silent.
Sapphire was dissatisfied with his lack of response, and she added, ” Was it to… break up with Ms. Reid?”
Fia frowned. There was an odd look on her face as she glanced in what she assumed was Sapphire’s direction. She really wished she could see the other woman’s expression right now.
“Did he talk about breaking up with Ms. Reid, and she wasn’t willing, so she blackmailed him with her life? Victor didn’t want to do anything to wrong me, so he… refused, and Ms. Reid jumped off the building… T-that’s what happened… Right?”
Sapphire felt like she had used all her body’s strength to make this guess.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad gave her a pitiful look. “Does it make you feel better to think that way?”
Sapphire blinked rapidly as beady tears rolled down her face, followed by a continuous stream.
“I want to see Ms. Reid! I want her to tellherself!”
“I won’t let you meet Eileen!” Fia reacted instantly.
Sapphire shot Fia a bitter look and said, “Consider this asbegging you, okay? I want to know what’s going on! Even if it kills me, I want to die knowing the truth!”
Conrad patted Fia’s back soothingly and said gently, “Go ahead and ask Ms. Reid what she thinks, okay?”
Fia hesitated but agreed in the end. “Okay.”
Conrad dialed the number and placed the phone at Fia’s ears.
“Hello, Fia? Did you missalready?”
Fia was bitter when she thought of Eileen leaving the house last time
with instructions for her and Conrad to watch out for Victor.
“Eileen, why did you lie to me? You didn’t fall off the building by accident…”
She thought about how Eileen and Victor had argued in the past and had practically taken a knife to her neck.
Fia suddenly hated herself! It was clear that Eileen had made light of her own situation before, and Fia was a fool for believing it!
How did Eileen manage to get through it alone?
On the other side, Eileen was stunned. But then she smiled and said gently, “It’s all in the past. I’m fine. What’s wrong? Did you miss me?”
“Yeah…” Fia trailed off and looked at Sapphire, her mind in a mess.
She suddenly didn’t want to ask Eileen anymore. She wanted Eileen to leave this troubled place with peace of mind.
“I’m getting ready to head to the airport, Fia! If you want to see me, get your husband to work a little harder today and send you to the
airport, and I’ll see you there!”
Fia wanted to see Eileen at this moment, and she wanted to hug her.
Eileen had always put on a strong front before her, but the woman had always endured too much alone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrom the tshe met Victor to the tshe gave birth… There were just too many things for Fia to list that her best friend had faced
alone.
And when Fia was going through so much, Eileen would cfrom thousands of miles away to see and accompany her as soon as she knew about it!
Fia felt unworthy as Eileen’s best friend! She didn’t deserve such a great friend!
When Sapphire saw that Fia didn’t say anything about meeting her for a long time, she lunged toward her.
Conrad saw it happening and shielded Fia. He thought Sapphire was going to hurt Fia in smoment of madness, but his cousin simply grabbed the phone.
“Hello, Ms. Reid? I want to meet you for a bit!”
Eileen froze. She was familiar with Sapphire’s voice and considered the woman’s request for a few seconds before saying, “Mrs. Maxwell, I’m about to head to the airport.”
“I can meet you there!” Sapphire hurriedly said.
Eileen was silent for a while before finally replying, “Fine.”
Conrad drove Fia and Sapphire to the airport.
Sapphire sat alone in the back seat and didn’t speak the entire journey.
