Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 56
“All I’m asking is that… Did you intend to give this bracelet to me originally?!” Fia asked. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Fia, how can you speak to Conrad in that tone!” Esme scolded her.
Fia stared at Conrad and simply continued. “Please, tell me the answer in front of these people.”
Conrad’s eyes turned cold. “Can you please stop making a scene?”
“Making a scene? Do you know who started this?” Fia glared at Esme with a stony stare. “Your childhood lover, the one that you’re willing to divorce me to get your hands on, she started it!”
All the salespersons were terrified. Was it alright for them to listen to all this? Would they get fired?
Before Conrad could say a word, Silas hurried in and ushered all the staff away.
The only people remaining there were Fia, Conrad, Eileen, and Esme. Silas left them on his own accord. Eileen could hear the sorrow in her words and went over to hold her hands.
“Mr. Maxwell, someone who’s well–known like you should be careful of how you act. Aren’t you worried that your company’s stock prices are going to get affected by you openly strolling around with your lover?” Conrad gave Eileen an icy stare before sending out a text message.
A handsome man in a blue coat and pants swiftly came over.
“Eileen!” The man’s voice was rough but firm.
Eileen looked away and didn’t dare to look at the entrance.
Fia could sense her best friend’s fear. She was just about to turn around and see who it was when Eileen stopped her from turning her head. “Don’t.”
She then whispered into her ears with a giggle, “I’m sorry, Fia. Looks like I can’t hunt down the
homewrecker with you today.”
Fia then asked, “Who is he?”
“My creditor.”
“Creditor? Do you owe him money? I still have some savings…”
“No, not that kind of creditor.” Eileen held Fia tightly and patted her back. “He’s my boss… And he can be very strict.”
“Then you should go.”
“So, remember, Fia. If anyone bullies you like that next time, you can’t just let them roll over you. Even if you can’t win, give them the fight of their lives. You cannot let them think that you’re someone to be picked on easily.”
Eileen was taken away by the man that suddenly came.
Fia stared at the man and woman opposite her and could sense how alone she was.
“Fia, why did your friend leave just like that? You haven’t even shopped, have you?” Esme asked pretentiously. If one didn’t know better, one would think that she cared about Fia.
Fia didn’t even bother answering her and simply said, “Give her the ruby necklace. However, I must take this bracelet.”
Conrad looked at the bracelet in her hand. “Sure.”
“Conrad, I really love that tourmaline bracelet.”
“I remember she likes diamonds and other precious gems, and not something as cheap as this!” Those were the words that Esme told her a long time ago.
“Stop making things up! I like jewelry made from various kinds of materials.” Esme grabbed Conrad’s arm tightly and shook it. “Tell Fia to give the bracelet back to me. I can buy it from her.”
It was no longer about a bracelet.
Whoever didn’t have the bracelet was the one who lost.
Conrad instinctively wanted to pull his arm away, but Esme held it even tighter.
When he looked at Fia’s bright but resentful eyes, he became even more agitated.
“Give it to Esme!”
Fia was stunned. “On what grounds? I wanted it first!”
