Chapter 482
“Sapphire, since you’ve loved Victor for many years, you should know him very well. He has a vindictive nature, and even after marrying you, he still wants to trap Eileen at his side! He’s not taking responsibility as your husband at all!
“I asked Conrad for help to free Eileen, and that was what should have been done as a decent human being! But in his eyes, we did
something that wronged him!”
The more Fia spoke, the angrier she got. She wondered how Sapphire could pretend that these things never happened. How could Sapphire ignore all of it and ask her to talk Conrad out of fighting for the land because of Victor?
Sapphire’s face turned cold. “What are you trying to say?”
Fia looked away and calmly said, “I can’t help you in this because I don’t want Conrad to return good for evil.”
“If you don’t want to help, then don’t! You could have done so without humiliating me!” Sapphire exclaimed. “Victor married me! How could he still have thoughts about your best friend?! They had a contract! Ms. Reid shouldn’t have left Destiny Entertainment when she became

Fia stared at Sapphire in disbelief. She dearly wished she could regain her sight at this moment just to have a good look at the expression on the face of the woman opposite her.
Just what the hell was she thinking?!
“You disappoint me, Fia! I thought we were the sand that you’d understand my feelings. I thought you’d help me!” Sapphire said,
jumping to her feet. “I didn’t think you were such a person!”
“What kind of person are you talking about?”
Conrad’s voice cut through the tension as he walked down the stairs with a grim face. Mrs. Whitley had just gone to get him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been aware that Sapphire was here.
When Sapphire caught sight of Conrad, she grabbed her bag and tried to leave.
“You haven’t finished talking, Sapphire! Why are you running?” Conrad said coldly.
Then, he instructed Mrs. Whitley, “Close the door. She’s not leaving until she says her piece!”
“You’re being unreasonable, Conrad! Are you trying to holdhere against my will?!”
Sapphire was furious, and her body shook from her anger. Her legs. weakened from the turmoil of emotions, and she fell back onto the
couch.
Mrs. Whitley had quickly gone to close the mansion doors.
Fia stood up in a panic and said, “Conrad, don’t be angry. Sapphire and I were just having a chat.”
“Don’t pretend to be a nice person!” Sapphire yelled, feeling deeply humiliated and annoyed by Fia.
Conrad glared coldly at Sapphire before walking to Fia’s side and pulling her to sit down. He placed her hand on his leg and reassured her, “I’m not angry. I just need to talk to my cousin.”
Fia opened her mouth to persuade him but then thought better of it and stayed silent. At this point, there was no way to get through to Sapphire. Perhaps Conrad would have a better chance.

“Okay.”
Conrad patted Fia’s nervous back before looking calmly at Sapphire.
“So you were saying, Sapphire… What kind of person is Fia?”
Sapphire was indeed afraid of Conrad, and now her mind was even more in a mess with her anger and confusion added on top of the fear, and she didn’t know what to say.
Conrad said quietly, “If it were someone else, I don’t think you would have chere to ask Fia for help. If it were someone else, there would be even less need for Fia to see you or bother talking to you at length.”
“You…” Sapphire looked up at the man. “Are you going to humiliatetoo?”
“Sapphire,” Conrad said her ncoldly. “Fia and I never meant to humiliate you. Besides, you and Fia are not the same.”
Mrs. Whitley returned at this moment with swashed cherries in hand.
Conrad picked up one of the fruit by its stalk and brought it to Fia’s lips, waiting for her to bite into it before pulling it off and throwing it into the rubbish bin.
He leveled a cool gaze at Sapphire and continued, “You say you’re just like Fia. Letask you… has my cousin ever taken such care of you?”
