Chapter 22 She pretended not to see Conrad as she pulled Eileen's hand and had her sit down . " Have some fruit , Eileen . " She then turned around and rubbed her mother's back and said , " Don't worry about me , mom . I'm fine " " Fia … " Echo held her daughter's hand and only managed to calm down after a long time . Thea had also calmed down as she straightened her back . " You want a divorce ? Fine . Firstly , you're not allowed to see Esme again before your divorce is complete ! Secondly , the reason that I passed you the project that Old Maxwell and I were managing was so you would treat Fia well ! " Now that you want to divorce Fia , you will pass it to her ! Have Accounting calculate everything clearly Pass everything on to her ! " Fia was stunned . She didn't know that her grandma had sacrificed so much so that Conrad would treat her well . She was feeling even worse . Was the reason Conrad treated her well for the past three years because of that project ? Conrad frowned and said , " I can't pass that to her . " " I personally started that project and Old Maxwell funded it ! Before he passed away , he had already written in his will that the project would be given to me . All I'm doing right now is taking back what's rightfully mine . Why can't you pass it to Fia ? " Conrad sat down on the single seater sofa and then said with a cold expression , " I promised to give it to Esme this afternoon . " " What did you say ?! " Thea screamed out before she promptly lost consciousness . The entire living room was thrown into chaos . " Mom ! Cough ! Fia , call the ambulance ! " " Grandma ! " Fia was at a loss as she tried to find her phone . She forgot that she had placed it in the drawer Eileen immediately called Lyn . Lyn and her driver quickly ran into the mansion . The driver carried Thea to the car outside . Fia was about to follow after them but Conrad caught her wrist . " Let's talk . " When she looked into Conrad's calm eyes , she suddenly burst out into laughter . " You don't care about anyone's life and death as long as Esme's life is not on the line … Is that it ? " Conrad frowned . " I've already sent Silas a message . He'll take care of the hospital and doctor Fia pulled her arm away " You better pray that my grandma's fine ! Otherwise , I won't let you marry Esme even if I have to die ! " Eileen quickly removed Conrad's hand from Fia and they followed after the driver and Lyn as they helped Echo along the way " Fia ! " Conrad roared . " Last warning ! If you force Esme into a corner again , I'll make sure that everyone you care about will lose everything ! " His words hammered into Fia's mind , and she stumbled . If it wasn't because Eileen managed to help her in time , she would no doubt have fallen on the ground face first . " Are you even human ?! " She turned around and screamed back as she stared into his amber eyes . " My mom's extremely sick and my grandma fainted because of you , and you still threaten me ?! " Conrad simply replied with a cold expression , " Grandmother Thea has been healthy and tough all along . She won't faint simply because of a few words . " " What the h'll do you mean by that ?! " Fia shouted out in frustration . " Are you saying that my mom faked . her illness too ? Are you saying that we faked all of this , so you won't divorce me out of pity ?! " " You must be f * ck * ng crazy , Conrad Maxwell ! No one will ever joke about this kind of thing ! Forget about him , Fia . We have to get to the hospital as soon as possible ! " Echo coughed as she cried and shook her head . " Conrad , you've disappointed us all . " " All I want is for things to return to how it was supposed to be , " Conrad muttered stubbornly , refusing to face the agitation he was feeling inside .
