Fia was stunned. “Have your injuries completely healed? You don’t have to be in such a rush to learn the massaging technique. My chest isn’t in any pain lately and I’m doing alright.”
“The earlier I master it, the better I’ll feel,” Sally said. Then, her thoughts wandered to her own brother and she couldn’t help but ask, “Fia, there’s something I want to ask of you.”
Fia said, “Just say it, Sally.”
“Can you ask Conrad for help? Don’t let my brother get married when I’m not around.”
“With who?” Fia asked sternly. “Esme?”
Sally said in frustration, “Fia, I don’t have proof that she’s Esme. Can you ask Conrad to put in more effort to investigate her? He’s familiar with Esme… He should be able to find. something.”
Fia remembered how well Conrad treated Esme in the past. Even now she still had suspicions that he still had some feelings for her.
If possible, she really didn’t want Conrad and Esme to have any chance to be together alone.
However, Sally did too much for her already. She treated her too well.
Something bad almost happened to her three days ago, and she had been feeling very regretful
about it.
“Fine, I’ll ask Conrad to investigate her.”
Sally nodded. “Thanks, Fia.”
Fia shook her head. “I should be the one thanking you, Sally. Ever since my mom was admitted to the hospital and we encountered you and Evans, you’ve helped us a lot.”
When Sally thought about Jason, she felt upset.
However, she had no time to think about love for the time being.
“Fia, if my brother looks for you, don’t see him,” Sally said again out of concern for her. Even if it’s anyone else from my family. Don’t see them.”
Fia couldn’t help but ask, “What if something happens to your parents when you’re not around?”
“With my brother around, nothing will happen to them,” Sally said sternly. “However, I’m worried that they’ll use my parents as an excuse and hurt you through some scheme. You can’t fall into any of their schemes, alright? If you’re worried about my parents, tell Conrad about it. Have him send someone to check on them, alright? You must never go see them!”
After Sally told her everything, she quickly headed toward the expert’s place.
She had promised that she would learn the massaging technique so that it would stop Fia’s condition from getting worse.
She had to do it.
However, she didn’t know that her caution had made Fia extremely confused.
Fia couldn’t make heads or tails of the matter, so once Conrad was back from his meeting, she told him about it. “Don’t you think that something weird is going on with Sally? Her brother and I have nothing to do with each other… Is he going to do something to me for Britney’s sake?”
Conrad shook his head. “Things probably aren’t as simple as you think.”
“Is there something that I don’t know about? Sally didn’t tell me anything about it either, and simply told me not to see her brother,” Fia said worriedly.
Conrad made up an excuse and got out of the office. He asked Silas to investigate the Halls.
In the afternoon, when Fia was taking a nap in the lounge, Silas walked into the office. Conrad worried that she would hear it, so he led Silas out of the office.
“What did you find out?”
“The Halls aren’t on friendly terms with the Parker Group,” Silas said before explaining everything that had happened.
Conrad frowned. “The Halls’ company is so small… Is there a need for them to do something against them?”
Silas nodded. “Mr. Parker had just taken control of Parker Group back then. The seniors in the higher management gave him a lot of pressure. In order to be able to achieve his target in the shortest time possible and strengthen his own position within the company, he did the same thing to a lot of small and medium-sized enterprises.”
Conrad wasn’t sure how to evaluate this.
The business world was just like a battlefield. It was normal to see all kinds of deceptions and the poaching of each other’s talents.
But normally, powerful companies wouldn’t completely force the smaller companies to the point of foreclosure.
It could be seen just how brutal Conall was when he was younger!
