"Miss Parker, why don't you go back first? I'll take good care of the CEO."

Silas sincerely tried his best to get her out of the situation.

However, that was not what Annie wanted.

The thing she wanted was Conrad's acknowledgement.

"No, I want to stay by his side."

Her stubborn voice made Conrad feel repulsed.

He disliked those who refused to listen to his orders.

However, there was also someone in his mind that acted the same way.

Who was that person?

That person seemed to look similar to the woman in front of him who called herself Sia.

When he remembered that, Conrad's hands immediately clenched into fists.

It was as if everything that had happened was just a dream...

"Conrad."

"Leave now. Or never appear in front of me again."

Annie's voice made Conrad very agitated.

When Annie heard that, she trembled.

She saw Conrad's dislike of her from his eyes.

Why?

How did things turn out like this?

Annie couldn't understand it no matter how she tried.

"You should get out of my apartment too."

Fia didn't let this chance pass her by.

Conrad got up from the floor and then looked at Fia earnestly.

"I'll leave. I won't badger you anymore. You don't have to worry about that.

"But if I believe that you're hiding something I don't know, you'll have to pay a price then."

He was angered.

It was because of how cold she was. It was because of how nonchalant she was. Somehow, they were like the flames that ignited his heart.

Why was she so heartless toward him? Why? In the past five years, no one treated him with such indifference.

When those words came out of Conrad's mouth, Fia almost believed he found out about something.

But then, she recalled he had amnesia.

Fia couldn't help but let out an icy laugh.

He had forgotten everything because of the amnesia. He was free to face his future. But... What about her? She had to face all the pain alone.

Luckily, her twins were by her side. Otherwise, she would never be able to live her life in peace.

"You're overthinking things. Both of us don't know each other. There's no way that I hid anything from you."

Fia quickly got rid of all of them and then instantly locked the door.

Silas felt a bit helpless now that Conrad was locked out of the door again.

"Sir, the poison inside of you..."

"She already helped cure me. I'm fine right now." Conrad didn't know that the poison inside of him wasn't something that could be so easily cured. All Fia did was help him suppress the poison. Silas only realized what happened after a long while.

He then looked at the door with a strange look.

"She's willing to help you neutralize that poison, but treats you so badly at the same time... Did we really offend her somehow, somewhere?"

Conrad merely let out a faint smile.

"Maybe I really did offend her."

"Otherwise... Why would she treat us so aggressively?"

Silas was startled.

Normally, no one could stay in one piece after upsetting Conrad that way.

But when he looked at Conrad, it seemed like he was enjoying every moment of it. And that made him feel strange too.

Now that Fia had gotten rid of all of them, she could finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Mommy, why do you dislike that man so much?"

Adrian asked her with curious, wide eyes.

Fia closed her eyes.

"I don't."

Adrian instantly locked his eyebrows together.

"Mommy, you hate him. You wish that he'll never appear in front of you."

That was right.

It was something so obvious that even a kid could see it.

Just how much hate did she have for Conrad?

Fia tried to regain her composure, and then crouched down and looked at the twins at eye level.

"I don't hate him, because he has nothing to do with us."

When the twins heard that, they exchanged a glance.

"But we think he's a good person. He didn't make any of us upset either."
