Chapter 723
When someone fell into the ocean, having more people in the rescue effort would increase the chances of the survival of the victim. The poor girl was innocent. She did not deserve to die like that.
Meanwhile, Conrad was standing as still as a rock by the stairs, clenching on the handrail.
“Hahaha! That girl deserved to die! Yes, she deserved it!” Beryl laughed maniacally as tears welled in her eyes.
She had thought about it before. Had she not made a scene on that boat, would Garrett not be so heartless? Would he still come home and visit her and their son?
“All this time, you’ve been telling everyone that Garrett Maxwell is a heartless person. Yet, you have kept secret all of the cruel things that you had done. You didn’t only cause that girl’s death, did you? There were others too, am I right?” Fia asked.
“No! I did nothing wrong! It was them! It was their own fault!” Beryl screeched like a banshee.
Not wanting to stay anymore, Fia left to go downstairs. When she got to the stairs, she saw Conrad standing there. She did not know how much he had heard from their conversation. She had asked him to leave because she did not want to let him know.
While she was trying to come up with a topic to soothe him, Conrad raised his head and gave her a smile, “You two done talking?”
“Yes.” Fia looked at him cautiously.
Conrad smiled and extended a hand to her. Seeing this, Fia took his hand and went downstairs with him.
“What were you two talking about?” he asked.
“…” Fia turned her face at him and said, “Nothing.”
“Did she bully you?”
“No.”
“Good.” Conrad’s eyes were locked onto the stairs. He was silent as deep thoughts ran in his mind.
Fia hugged his arm and had on a cheerful expression before asking. “What do you want for lunch? I’ll make it for you, okay?”
After a pause, Conrad said, “No, it’s okay. I’ll get the servants to make it.”
“You don’t like my cooking?”
“No, it’s just… I don’t want you to get tired.” Conrad escorted her down from the final step of the stairs. He caressed her hair and said, “If Grandpa’s still here, he wouldn’t want you to be tired too when you visit this residence.”
Fia was stunned upon hearing this. It had been years since Grandpa Maxwell died. Aside from her mom and grandma, it was Grandpa Maxwell that doted on her the most.
Unfortunately, all of them had passed away before she learned to stand up for herself. They were now gone and she could not repay their kindness.
“I don’t want to have lunch here anymore, Fia said.
Conrad did not ask her the reason for the change of plans. He asked gently, “Then, where do you want to go for lunch?”
“Let’s buy Grandma and Grandpa Maxwell’s favorite food. Let’s go visit them, okay?”
Thea and Grandpa Maxwell’s graves were not far from here.
“Okay,” Conrad agreed. Then, he added, “After visiting them, let’s also visit your mom.”
Fia was moved hearing this. She asked, “To Mount Reditus?”
“Yes.”
Fia’s face relaxed into a smile. “I’ll go buy a bouquet of Baby’s breath.”
“Okay. Let’s go together.” Conrad took her hand. Then, they left the Maxwell’s family residence. Beryl
stared at them leaving together as hate and rage burned in her eyes.
