“What’s going on?” His tone was as cold as the Arctic winds.
“The driver’s dead!”
“Which driver?”
“The truck driver that ran into the madam.”
“What happened?”
Silas looked at Fia who sat up. “Should we speak outside, sir?”
“I can’t hear about it?” Fia asked in an upset tone.
Conrad patted her head and said to Silas, “Just say it.”

Conrad frowned and said, “Why did no one from the hospital tell us?”
“Doctor Hall, Doctor Evans, the hospital director, the police, and the forensic team had all gone to investigate this!” Silas’s expression darkened. “I believe that this is a scheme…. I just don’t know what the person behind this wants.
Fia then said, “Aren’t the driver’s legs hurt? How did he get up the window?”
“He used a chair to climb up the window. It is quite difficult. I wonder what made him so determined.”
Conrad suddenly remembered the driver’s ill son. “How’s his son doing?”
“His son is in the ICU, so he probably doesn’t know. His wife found out about it and fainted from the news. “Sir, the reason I chere is because I think it’s best for you to leave. I feel like the target is you.”
Silas had just finished when a string of footsteps cfrom behind him. It was Assistant Director Manning and his men.
“Mr. Maxwell, the driver that injured your wife had committed suicide.”
Fia immediately argued, “What does that have to do with my husband?!”
Conrad’s heart warmed and he patted her back.
“Don’t worry. I’m still here.”
Fia looked at him with mixed feelings. The plotting against him had already been set in motion and yet he still told her not to worry.
It was such a strange feeling. Despite their long marriage, it was the first tthat he treated her like this.
“He left a suicide note saying that you threatened and hit him every day, so he committed suicide. He also said that Mr. Maxwell was doing it because he wanted to avenge you,” Assistant Director Manning said in a serious tone as he stared at Fia.
“Impossible! He made it up!” Fia argued with confidence. “He’s been taking care of24/7, so he had no tto see that driver at all! It’s impossible for him to threaten or beat him because he didn’t have the time!”
Conrad smiled and patted Fia’s head and joked, “How can you be so sure that I’m innocent? You don’t know what I’m doing when you’re asleep.”
“Stop joking around! Can’t you see what the situation is right now?” Fia said with red eyes. She couldn’t simply stand by and do nothing when the police were working against him.
“Cback to the station with us. We’ll know if you’re involved in this after the investigation,” Assistant Director Manning said as he took a step forward. “You can understand how hard this is foras a lawful citizen, right? Mr. Maxwell?”
“Of course. Of course, I do.” Conrad looked at Fia gently without even giving Assistant Director Manning so much as a glance.

He didn’t expect it to cso quickly though.
“Silas, I’m leaving for a bit. You stay here and accompany the madam 24/7.” Conrad turned around and was about to leave.
Fia grabbed his arm and looked at him tearfully.
“The police station is not a good place to be. Have your corporation’s lawyers do something to get you out.”
“Don’t be afraid, Fia.”
“You know about the station’s interrogation room. It’s so dark and the air is so bad too.”
Fia almost cried.
Conrad could feel his chest tighten. So, she had been afraid when she was inside. But every visited her, she looked like she didn’t care.

“Then I should really go in and take a look. This is the gods‘ will… So that I can feel my wife’s suffering as well.”
