Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 226
“Conrad, give your cousin a call!” Fia held her phone as the words that Eileen had said echoed in her ears. She felt rattled by it.
Conrad pulled the chair and sat opposite the bed, his deep eyes focused on Fia.
“Our interference means nothing when it comes to this.”
“Can you ask him what his plans are for Eileen after this?”
There was a sense of urgency in her eyes. She had been cold toward him, and this was the first time she was begging him like this.
Conrad was silent for a moment before saying, “Sure.”
His relationship with Victor had always been sour since they were children. He really didn’t want to interfere if he didn’t have to.
When Fia saw him dial the number, she quickly said, “Can you put it on loudspeaker?”

The moment the call went through, Victor’s relaxed voice came. “You must be very free to givea call, cousin. Are you calling to congratulate me?”
Conrad glanced at Fia and then said to the man coldly, “Now that you’ve married Sapphire, what will happen to Ms. Reid?”
“What? Two women aren’t enough for you and you want someone that I don’t want now?”
Fia was shocked. If she hadn’t heard it herself, she would never believe that those words were from
Victor’s own mouth.
Normally, because Victor was Conrad’s cousin, he would act very politely in front of her. To her, he was. half a gentleman.
But after said gentleman said something like this, his image immediately crumbled into pieces.
When Conrad saw Fia’s expression, he felt much better. He hated how Victor pretended to be a gentleman.
“Careful with your words, cousin. You might stain your own image.” Maybe because he was feeling better, he called him cousin for once.
Victor frowned. “Eileen’s with you?”
“Make a guess.” Conrad looked at Fia. “You’ve already said it. Are you afraid the person in question would hear about it?”
“I don’t have tto waste twith you!” Victor hung up angrily. He was already feeling quite down, and Conrad was pressing on his sore points. That was why he wasn’t that careful with his words.
Fia frowned. “Your cousin has always been that deceitful?”
“Do you only know that now?” Conrad was feeling so good that he almost whistled. “You toldto befriend him earlier but I ignored it. It’s not because I’m too prideful, but it’s because he’s not worthy of my friendship.”
Fia was silent for a few seconds. “I was hoping that the Maxwells could be at peace with each other and focus their energies against outside enemies.”
“Forget it. That’s how he’s been since he’s little.”
Fia then frowned and asked, “He’s a few years older than you. Why didn’t he take over the instead?”

“Grandpa didn’t like how deceitful he was.” Conrad’s expression suddenly darkened. “He’s quite capable to have grown his company from nothing, but do you know how many backhanded tactics he employed? Let’s talk about the example right in front of you. Can’t you see what’s happened to Ms. Reid?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia bit her lips. She did hear it.
Conrad let out a laugh. “When he was younger, he kept on provoking people to getinto trouble. Not only did he not have the courage to do it himself…”
Fia continued it for him, “He got those people beaten up instead.”
“You knew?” Conrad was shocked. Not even the parents knew about it.
“I heard about it.” Fia unnaturally looked away. She couldn’t tell him that she had secretly hid at the side, wanting to help him if he was losing.
“And you askedto improve our relationship after our marriage?”
“I didn’t know that Victor told them to do it.”
Conrad frowned and looked at Fia unhappily. “Either way, he’s not worth our friendship!”
Fia bit her lips again and said, “It has been so many years. Why are you so vengeful like a kid? Victor hasn’t done anything to you for the past few years.”
