Barbara rushed out of the hospital, feeling immensely hurt and furious. Her hands shook so much she could not even drive properly.
As she tried to calm herself down, Fia popped into Barbara’s mind. She quickly dialed her
number.
Fia was chatting away happily with Mary. Suddenly, her phone rang. Fia picked up the phone
and stood.
“Yes, Madam Barbara.”
“She’s changed.”
Fia frowned upon hearing this. She had no idea what Barbara’s words meant.
“Our Britney was a kind and gentle girl when she was younger. She was highly principled and a moral stalwart. She would never try to go after a married man. On top of that, she would never talk tolike that…”
Fia’s heart sank as she heard this. “So, you’re saying Britney was indeed trying to seduce my husband?”

“Madam Barbara, may I know where you are right now?” Fia could feel that Barbara’s emotions were unstable at the moment. She could not help but worry for her.
“How about you cto
you cto my house? Let’s talk, alright?”
Hearing Fia’s caring words, Barbara’s anxious and alarmed mind began to calm down a little.
“I’m fine. I just need tto calm down and think it over.”
“Alright. I can help you apply for leave.”
“Apply for leave? Heh, Mr. Maxwell wantedto resign, remember?”
“He only said that out of spite. He did not mean it. If you are not disillusioned by trickeries, he wants you to remain in the company more than anyone.” Fia defended her husband with wonderfully sugar- coated words.
Feeling warmth in her heart, Barbara earnestly said, “Don’t you worry. Even though I did not like you before, I know you are a wonderful wife to Mr. Maxwell. It was our boss’s greatest fortune to have met and married you. I wish you both a long, happy married life.”
“Thank you.”
“still, so much has happened recently, I can’t stay in Maxwell Corporation any longer. I’ll resign.”
“Then, where do you plan to go?” Fia asked nervously.

A smile curved up on Barbara’s face as she replied, “You’re afraid that I’ll join your rival? Don’t worry. I still haven’t lost my principles. Look, I’m not a young lass like you anymore. I’m now in my thirties and I’ve been working tirelessly until now. I’ve never got tfor myself all these years.
“I’ve earned a lot of money in Maxwell Corporation a lot more than I would have in other companies. It’s tI take a rest for a bit, to see the world.”
After hanging up, Fia took stto digest what Barbara had said before telling Mary that she was heading upstairs.
In the study, Conrad and Tyler were discussing work.
Tyler asked anxiously, “It might be best not to put pressure on like this, Conrad. If this goes on, your cousin will have to use sforceful measures to acquire this hotel!”
“But this hotel belongs to the Lanes, am I right?”
“Well, yes. Fine… if you’re not bothered by it, then I’m fine with moving along with the plan.”
Fia was gluing her ears closed to the half-closed door, overhearing the discussion. This reminded her of that hotel in Oceania.
“Fia? What’s the matter?” Conrad saw the sneaky silhouette at the door. He stood. stepped out of the study.

“Madam Barbara just called. She insisted on resigning from her position. She also apologized
to us.”
“So, where is she going? Is she joining Parker Group?”
Fia shook her head. “No, she said she wanted to go for vacation first.”
Conrad remained silent for a moment and decided to not ask about Barbara. He rubbed Fia’s head and asked, “Do you want to head out for a vacation too?”
“No.”
“Then, what do
you want?”
Fia raised her head and looked at this dear man, who was much taller than her.
Deep in her heart, she had an answer-she wanted to have a child. Their child.
Tyler stepped out of Conrad’s study and waved at them. “You two go on. I’ll head down and fetch the kids with Mary.”
Fla quickly stopped him. “Please stay for dinner. I miss Sharon and William.”
“Sure!” Tyler then quickly rushed downstairs to get his wife.
