Chapter 549 After a few rings, the call was answered but there was no sound from the other side. Annie looked at Britney worriedly. Britney mouthed “Good luck” and gave her a thumb’s up. “Fia… I know you don’t have any feelings toward us, the Parkers. But Mr. Maxwell is innocent. Uncle’s Parker Group is a very huge and resourceful goliath in the business world. If my uncle keeps on bothering Maxwell Corporation like this…” “Fine.” Fia interrupted Annie halfway. She did not think this little witch. was talking out of kindness. Well, sure, perhaps she was. But that kindness was for her husband, not for her. And that kindness cwith a price, with her taking her place as his wife. After hanging up, Fia hesitated. She could not decide if she should go and face Conall Parker. She had no intention of calling that man her father. Yet, there was no way she could allow him to attack her husband like that. After lunch, Fia said to Mrs. Whitley, who was cleaning up the table, Mrs. Whitley, could you help me find a number that I’ve blacklisted in my phone? Find it and dial it up for me.” It did not take much tfor Mrs. Whitley to find it in Fia’s phone. “It’s a number from Lumenpolis?”
“Yes.” Without asking further, Mrs. Whitley dialled the number and put the phone in Fia’s hand before bringing the dishes into the kitchen. After a few rings, an excited voice could be heard from the phone. # “Fia! My Fia! Is that really you?” Conall sounded excited. In contrast, Fia’s voice was as cold as ice. “You’re attacking Maxwell Corporation, aren’t you?” “Fia, don’t you worry! I’ll make sure he pays back tenfold for whatever he’s done to you! He’ll know just
how terrible a nightmare your father is! So that he’ll never mistreat you ever again!” Conall was eager to show that he was a capable father to his little girl. “Mr. Parker,” Fia said coldly, “All you’re doing is bringing nothing but disruption toand my husband’s life.” “I’m doing this for you, Fia! I heard that you’ve suffered so much…” “What you’re doing is makingmiserable right now!” Fia couldn’t help but raise her voice. Then, she took in a few breaths, reminding herself that it was not worth getting angry at this horrible man. “Fia, I know I was never in your life. And I’m nothing but a stranger to you. And for that, I truly am sorry. But I really want to make it up to you. I know you love that Maxwell kid. So, I’m giving him pressure in his career so that he’d…” “Enough. Let’s talk, in person.” Fia felt a tingle of headache as she talked through the phone. “Oh, okay! I’ll cget you right away!” “No, just tella place and I’ll meet you there.” Conall booked a cafe not far away from where she lived. Fia then travelled to it, with Mrs. Whitley as company. As she walked into the cafe, Conall rose from his seat and approached her excitedly. “Fia, I’ll bring you to your seat.” “No, no need.” Fia held Mrs. Whitley’s arm tightly as she stuck her hand to her back, not wanting Conall to take her hand. Seeing this, Conall let out a sigh as he pulled a chair for her. After Fia sat down, she told Mrs. Whitley, “Find a seat nearby and wait forthere, Mrs. Whitley.” “As you wish.” Mrs. Whitley sat at a seat a bit farther but kept an eye on them, worried that these two would fight. “Fia, I didn’t think you’d be willing to seeagain.” Tears welled up in Conall’s eyes as he carefully asked, “What would you like to drink? Coffee? Or…” “I’m not here for tea time.” Fia responded coldly, “I don’t know who’s been talking to you and actually convinced you to attack Maxwell Corporation like that.
“But I’ll tell you frankly right now. My husband and I are completely fine and there’s no conflict between us. There is no room for an outsider like you to worry about us!” Conall stared at her cold face, feeling a tingle of regret in his heart, My child… you look so much like your mother…” Fia was stunned before shouting at him, “Don’t you dare mention her! You don’t have the right to!” “I’ve been visiting Mount Reditus these days, visiting your mother.” Conall kept on talking, “I know no matter what I do right now, it would look pretentious to you. But I swear, I really want to make it up to you. All I want is to make it up to my dear daughter. “If your mother knew about this, she’d want us to make up and be together as a family too.” “No, she will not!” Fia rejected fiercely. “She never toldabout you, not even when she was dying. There’s no chance she would want us to be family!…
