Chapter 485
When they were nearing the airport, Sapphire pulled out a mirror to touch up her makeup and fix her hair.
When she was done, she asked, “Does Victor know that Ms. Reid is leaving tonight?”
Conrad replied, “He doesn’t.”
“What makes you so sure Ms. Reid didn’t tell him?”
Fia said somewhat wearily, “Eileen is not the kind of person you think she is.”
“Is that so?” Sapphire said with a soft laugh. “I’ve held animosity toward her since the first time I laid eyes on her.
However, I never dared go against her directly or ask more about her… Do you know why, Fia?”
Fia blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering at the motion.
“Because Victor never gave you that right.”
“Yeah. I knew you’d understand me. After all, weren’t you afraid to offend Esme when Conrad went crazy over
her?”
Conrad frowned deeply and glanced at Fia from the corner of his eyes. He lifted one hand from the steering wheel
and tried to touch her with it, but Fia simply turned sideways to avoid it despite being unable to see and said calmly,

Conrad stopped trying after seeing her reluctance and did as she said, picking up speed.
When they arrived at the airport, Silas led the trio to the VIP lounge.
Eileen was in a wheelchair, and her assistant, Lyn, sat on the couch beside her.
When Lyn saw Sapphire, she immediately got to her feet and stood in front of Eileen before saying, “W-what are
you doing here?!”
Sapphire frowned and said sarcastically, “What kind of magic do you have, Ms. Reid, that even your assistant would
go to such lengths to protect you?”
Fia frowned and stayed silent, but she retracted her hand from
Conrad’s hold and pinched his waist.
Conrad then spoke, his voice tinged with annoyance, “What do you want to ask her? Hurry it up.”
“Please leave for a bit. I want to talk to Ms. Reid alone.”
“No,” Fia said immediately.
Sapphire was about to argue with Fia when Eileen said softly, “It’s fine. You guys can leave for a bit. Mrs. Maxwell is
a lady. She knows how she should behave.”
In the VIP lounge, only Eileen and Sapphire were left.
Eileen gestured at the couch and said, “Have a seat. There’s no need to stand.”
“Do you feel inferior when you have to look up at me while I’m
standing?” Sapphire’s words were hard to listen to, but there was no venom in them.
Eileen seemed to laugh at the woman but said indifferently, “You can think what you want.”
Sapphire was disgusted with Eileen’s calmness and said seriously, “I came to see you so that you could tell me what
really happened on the day you jumped out of the building!”
“Do you really want to know?” Eileen remembered the way Victor had
spoken to Sapphire back then at Conrad’s mansion.
She suddenly felt pity for the great lady before her, who was also
Victor’s wife.
“Mrs. Maxwell, your husband is the best at disguising his intentions and putting on an act. I’m afraid you never
really knew the real him, did you?”
Sapphire clenched her fist tightly, a look of indignation on her face.
“Are you trying to say that you know Victor better than me? Let me tell you that you’re wrong! I’ve known him since
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwe were kids! I knew him, liked him, and fell in love with him way before you did!”
“Very well, Mrs. Maxwell. Let me tell you what he did to me on that day, then.”
Eileen had quickly become a rising star in the entertainment industry, not because she was a naive and simple
woman.
The attitude Sapphire was displaying now effectively washed away any pity or guilt Eileen held for the woman.
Eileen hadn’t allowed Victor to touch her ever since Sapphire replaced her as the leading lady in the video and
made a public appearance with him!
Eileen didn’t think she had done anything to cause Sapphire grief.
On their wedding day, she had even jumped off a building to refuse Victor!
What more did Sapphire want from her?
Even if she told Sapphire the truth about jumping from the building that would possibly lead to Victor and Sapphire
getting a divorce, she wouldn’t feel any guilt!
In fact, Eileen felt the poor woman standing before her had the right
to know the truth.
