Chapter 505
Conrad whispered in her ears, “I’m sorry, Fia. Did I scare you?”
Fia shook her head. “I was the one that lost my composure.”
“What are you thinking about?”
Fia hesitated for a bit and then showed her phone to him.
He took it curiously and switched to the log and realized that, when he was busy with work, she had picked up a call
from an unfamiliar
number.
From the log, it showed that they had spoken for about a dozen seconds.
“Who called?”
“That person.”
Conrad frowned. “What did he say?”
“He apologized. He said that he wasn’t forcing my three uncles to get me to acknowledge him. He simply wanted
more people to care about me. He even said…”
Fia’s expression cracked as her voice turned harsh. She couldn’t even finish her own sentence before continuing,

those people really do care about me?!
“After my mom and grandma passed away, the three of them never showed any concern for me. I know, better
than anyone, that despite them saying that we’re family, they had already excluded me. They worry that I will pull
them into my problems.
“But because of him, they hurriedly appeared in front of me. When they saw that I didn’t want to acknowledge him
as my father, they
even criticized me! Who gave them the confidence that I’ll do what they say?!”
And how dare they call her unfilial?! If she obeyed them and
acknowledged that man as her father, would that be considered filial?
She was so angry and agitated! Why couldn’t she be just like them and criticize others without a care for the world?
How could they simply distort the facts and arrange the life of others with a holier–than–thou attitude?
She suddenly felt so mad at them all! She even felt that the entire world had turned gray and pointless.
Was this what others called being nihilistic?
-You
“You still have me, Fia.” Conrad held on to her tightly. “I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to. I’ll stand
by your side.”
After letting it all out, Fia was feeling emotionally better. She took in a deep breath as she greedily smelled Conrad’s
scent.
“You’re the only one I have left.” She held his waist tightly. “If you don’t want me anymore, you can let me know.
But never lie to me. Don’t deceive me like I’m a fool.”
Conrad could feel her panic as he held her in his arms.
“I’ll never lie to you.”
Fia tried to let out a smile. “Remember what you said.”
She then pinched the flesh on his waist. “If you forget, I’ll make you regret it.”
She no longer wanted to return to that cheap woman she once was.
When they were driving back, Conrad saw a pharmacy by the road. He stopped in a parking lot.
“Wait for me in the car. I’ll go get something.”
“Sure.”
Before Conrad stopped the car, she lowered the car window so that some of the air could come into the car to
prevent herself from feeling suffocated.
Fia was sitting in the passenger’s seat and she took out her phone. She lowered her head and tried her best to look

At this time, a call came in. She opened her eyes wide and tried to read and tried arduously to slide the green icon
to accept the call.
“Hello? Fia?”
It was Jason’s voice.
Fia hesitated before saying, “Evans.”
“How are you feeling lately?”
“Not bad.”
“Don’t go out on your own anymore. If you really need to do something, have Conrad send some bodyguards to
follow you,” Jason explained. He then remembered the designs.
Because they had used her designs for their new products, their sales had broken through their previous records.
He felt that he didn’t pay her enough. Originally, he wanted to contact Eileen and transfer another sum to her, but
Eileen seemed to have completely disappeared lately.
That was why he called her, but he didn’t know what to say. She still didn’t know that Eileen had sold her designs to
him.
