Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 88
“When I was at your place that day, Conrad said that I became famous for no real reason. He wasn’t wrong, because what he said was true.”
Fia instinctively held Eileen in her arms. A thousand different thoughts played in her mind, but none of them formed words that she could say to her.
She had met Vincent a few times. She met him during the Maxwell’s family dinner with Conrad.
Every time, the same woman would stand by his side. She heard that it was his fiancée and they had already been engaged for five years.
At the time, she was curious why they hadn’t gotten married in those five years.
Not to mention that Victor was two years older than Conrad. Were Conrad’s uncle and aunt not getting anxious?
Now that she knew her best friend had a relationship with Victor, she didn’t know if she should tell her.
“Fia… On the day that I found out I was pregnant, I was so happy. I even bailed on a bigshot director just to tell him back at the company. And he…”
Eileen accidentally bit her own tongue as she shuddered. She took a deep breath and said, “He told me to abort the child and he would make me a popular celebrity..
“I agreed to it. I didn’t want to dream anymore. I would fall into depression every time I think about that child for the past two years.”
Fia couldn’t help but cry, envisioning the potential moment that Conrad might ask her to abort her child once he knew she was pregnant.
“Eileen… Our lives will become better and better.”
She rubbed Eileen’s arm, hoping to warm her heart.
“It’s fine.” Eileen raised her head and looked at the chandelier. She wiped her tears and got out of Fia’s
caress.
She then smiled at Fia as if nothing had happened and wiped Fia’s tears away instead.
“Why are you crying? I’m doing great, aren’t I? Not only am I a celebrity, I’m even a skilled actress.”
Fia suppressed the sorrow in her heart and forced a smile. “That’s right. I’m so envious of you, Eileen. A lot of people like you.”
“I know, right? I’m actually quite good!” Eileen raised her head high and once again returned to her cool big sister persona. “I’m a bit hungry so I’m going to the kitchen to cook up something. Want anything?”
“I don’t trust your cooking skills. Let me do it.” Fia pulled Eileen’s hand.
Eileen laughed and pulled her toward the kitchen. “You’re the head chef tonight and I’m your sous– chef.”
“Sure!”
Bang!
A wine glass was thrown to the wall and it shattered into a million shards.
Lola carefully walked toward Conrad and pushed his arm.
“Mr. Maxwell… Mr. Maxwell?”
Conrad burped and pushed Lola away.
“Get out!”
He got up wobbly.
“You’re drunk, Mr. Maxwell. I’ll take you to the guest room in the loft for a rest.” Lola summoned her courage to help him.
“Fia!” He suddenly roared. “You’re getting quite audacious!”
Lola froze and said, “What are you talking about, honey? I’ve always been very meek.”
“Meek? Ha!” He let out a cold laugh. “You already crashed a car into someone’s gate and threatened another person with a dagger! You? Meek?”
When Lola thought about it, she couldn’t imagine the gentle Fia doing something like that.
She would sometimes watch financial news, so she felt that she had seen Conrad somewhere before. All of a sudden, it hit her and she remembered that he was the heir of the Maxwell’s household, the top household in Gryphon.
She was overjoyed as her heart beat faster and a wicked idea appeared in her mind.
A man like him would never stay loyal to a woman. He probably had a few other women on the side.
Since Fia couldn’t control him, she could help her. At least, it would be better than giving him up to all the other women out there.
Once she had his child, all she needed to do was beg Fia and build up a good relationship with him. With her kind personality, she would definitely let the child join the family legally.
Then, even if she couldn’t become the madam of the Maxwell family, she should be able to get something from her son’s status. Perhaps, with someone like Conrad’s status, he would give her a million. dollars or two?
A million dollars… Her parents couldn’t even save that much money despite spending so much of their time managing the business. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Lola then helped Conrad up and walked toward the loft.
