Clenching her teeth, Britney did her best to bear the pain on her face. The man slapped her so hard that her mouth bled. However, she did not dare to show any defiance.

Seeing her being so obedient, the man waved his hand and said, "Go to the lab and get ready. I'll restore your voice."

"Thank you, Master." Britney thanked the man earnestly. As long as she could restore her original self, Britney did not care about her dignity.

"Heh!" The man stifled a laugh. "You b*tches think you're so pure and untainted. Yet, in the end, you can only serve me as my dogs! Only I can show you the joy of living!"

Britney felt disgusted hearing his words. Still, she could not afford to defy him.

"Be a good girl and obey me." The man grabbed Britney's shoulders and said, "Compared to you and her, Esme is too filthy to be used as a pawn. Her use is about to be fully spent. As long as you obey me, I can make your wishes come true!"

"Thank you, Master."

The man patted her skinny shoulders and said, "Good. Now, behave and don't play games with me. I'm going to restore your voice. However, know that it's not easy to restore your face."

"I will never betray you, Master." Britney affirmed softly.

"Heh, you'd better not."

"Conrad Maxwell, come out now!"

Jason yelled loudly in front of the Maxwell villa, wearing just a few layers of clothing. He had just recovered and was not supposed to get down from bed.

The bodyguards stepped forward to stop him from getting near the gate. One of them said, "Mr. Evans, you better leave if you want to live."

Jason glared at him furiously and said, "He promised to make Fia happy all his life. Yet, what has he done?!"

"Cough! Cough! Tell him to come out!"

Conall got down from his car and spoke to the bodyguards. Even though his face was as pale as a sheet, the bodyguards could still recognize the man as Fia's birth father. In that instant, they did not know how to proceed.

It was then that Tiger arrived in his car. As soon as the car was parked, Sophia got down from the car and hurried to Jason. "Mr. Parker, Mr. Evans, you should leave."

"So, is he too ashamed to see us?!" Jason yelled so loudly that his throat hurt, "What has he done to Fia?! Why did he make her disappear?!"

Right now, no one could get in touch with Fia.

Despite feeling uneasy with all this, Sophia still tried to comfort Jason. "Our boss did not do anything. It's just..."

"Sophia." Tiger got down from the car and stepped toward them. "You head inside."

Sophia said, "Madam cares about them. Don't be rash."

Tiger glanced at her coldly and said, "Sir said if you dare to meddle in things again, we'll have to send you back to the camp!"

Letting out a sigh, Sophia went into the villa.

Tiger then glared at Conall and Jason coldly. "Mr. Parker, Mr. Evans, you still need rest. Don't meddle with our boss's business."

Jason grabbed Tiger's collar and yelled, "Tell Conrad to come out now and face us like a man!"

He and Conall had gone to several places to look for Conrad. They had been to Maxwell Corporation and the wealthy residential areas, yet there was no sign of Conrad.

Bearing the urge to resort to violence, Tiger maintained eye contact with Jason and said, "Mr. Evans, I suggest you use your head before acting recklessly. You don't want to hurt your mother's feelings, do you?"

"Just what do you mean by that?!"

"Garrett Maxwell had been by you and your mother's side all these years. He had completely forgotten his duty as Sir's father. So, my boss does not owe you anything!"

If Jason were to upset him now, Conrad would begin scheming against Argonauts Corp, which in turn would mean ruining Clarice's life work.

"Gentle Stream is your mother's life work. I suppose you know this very well, since you've worked in Argonauts Corp for such a long time, right?"

In other words... without Argonauts Corp, "Gentle Stream" would be no more.

Just as Jason was about to retort, his phone rang. He let go of Tiger and answered the call. As soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard his secretary's anxious voice, "Sir! There is a strike at several of ou factories! If we don't restore the production line and get the products delivered on time, things could get ugly...!"

Hanging up, Jason glared at Tiger. "Is this his doing?"
