Stop It, She’s Remarrying!

Chapter 994

“Okay!” Sophia responded cheerfully, feeling glad that Fia’s best friend did not treat her like a stranger.

After starting the car’s engine, Sophia asked, “Where are we going?”

Fia said, “Let’s go home. It’s been a long time since Eileen tasted Mrs. Taylor’s cooking.”

“Yeah. After eating so many foreign dishes overseas, I really miss Mrs. Taylor’s cooking! If it weren’t for the fact that she only serves Mr. Maxwell so loyally, I would have poached her over to my home so she’d cook for me every day!” Eileen responded excitedly.

Hearing this, Sophia said, “Then I’ll learn a few dishes from Mrs. Taylor. With that, I’ll be able to cook both your favorite dishes! I’ll cook for you two every day!”

Fia stifled a laugh before saying, “Oh my, I wouldn’t dare to trouble you to cook for me. I don’t want to get food poisoning.”

Eileen asked, “What? Is her cooking even worse than mine?”

“Oh, you bet!”

Sophia laughed awkwardly and tightened her grip on the steering wheel. “Erm, well… It’s not my fault entirely. I grew up in the Hellish Training Camp. No one taught me how to cook.”

Hearing that, Eileen’s curiosity piqued, “Wait… but don’t you need to know how to cook for yourself surviving in the wild?”

“We don’t have cooking utensils. So, we only plucked fruits to fill our stomachs. Of course, we’ve learned to tell which ones are not poisonous.” Sophia was glad to share her experience living in the

camp.

“But you could roast wild animals for meals, am I right? You could catch, like, a rabbit and roast it.”

“If we were sent out for a trip, we are allowed to catch wild animals and roast them for provisions. Still, during our training in the camp, we weren’t allowed to start fires. So, no roasted animals for meals for us in the camp.”

Eileen recalled some scenes she saw from a movie and asked cautiously, “Sophia… could it be that… you’re actually a mercenary?”

“More or less.”

Upon hearing that, Eileen’s eyes widened with excitement, as though she found a treasure cove! She grabbed Fia’s arm and said, “Fia! Mercenaries are really good at fighting. If Esme gets an upper hand in scheming, you could retaliate by sending Sophia over to beat her up!”

Fia gave a bitter smile. “What are you on about? We’re living in a society that’s governed by law, you know? We can’t possibly ask Sophia to break the law for me.”

“Oh, you

don’t have to tell her to beat her up in public! Drag her somewhere secluded and put a wheat sack over her head so she won’t know who’s beating her!” Eileen then sighed. “You’re such an honest girl, Fia. You don’t need to play by the rules when dealing with a b*tch like

her!”

Sophia rubbed on her chin and nodded as she focused on the road. “Yes! Ms. Reid is right! I’ve been wanting to teach that wench a lesson for a long time now!”

“Haha! I suppose bright minds think alike!” Eileen hugged Fia and said with a smile, “Fia, have I told you I like this girl a lot? She’s really great! I feel that I can entrust you to her. She’ll be able to keep you safe.”

Fia returned her smile. “With both of you at my side, I can endure any hardship that’s thrown at me.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Endure? No! With us by your side, we’ll be able to kick every hardship that’s in our way!” Eileen patted Fia’s face and sighed. “Silly girl, don’t think about shouldering things alone, okay?”

Hearing this, Fia’s smile got brighter. She felt so fortunate to have these two as her friends.

“No… so you’re telling me… but are you sure? Perhaps you’ve mistaken?”

Meanwhile at the hospital, Victor grabbed Conrad’s hand tightly as he asked. This was the first time since forever that these two cousins held hands.

Furrowing his brows, Conrad pulled his hand out of Victor’s to pat his shoulder.

“Don’t think too much about it. Rest and get well soon. The project in the northern suburbs. needs your supervision.”

Victor, his face as pale as a sheet, looked at his cousin with determined eyes and said, “I am divorcing Sapphire. Our marriage is a mistake. We can’t go on like this anymore.”

“I don’t care about how you deal with your marriage, Victor. But you are not allowed to go anywhere near Eileen Reid,” Conrad responded with a long face.

Victor gave a bitter smile and lamented, “It’s so unfair. Why are you the one who’s always this lucky? All

you have to do is sit tight and grow up well. Then, voila! A whole empire is gifted to you. Now… you have a happy marriage. But what about me? I don’t even get to see the woman I love… Just what did I do to deserve this…”

Conrad looked at Victor silently. He was not going to say anything to comfort the man.

Still, he was glad that he and Fia did not have a complicated, taboo-ish relationship like Victor and Eileen.

Victor looked at Conrad and continued lamenting, “Why should I be the one who suffers because of your father’s sin, Conrad? Why me?!”

“There’s no easy route in life, cousin. But we still have to keep on living.”

Conrad was never good with comforting others. All he could do was give way to Victor when doing business, and he had given him a lot of such convenience in the

past.

“Is… Is there no other way to resolve this?” Victor said, defeated.

“No, there’s no other way. You need to cut ties with her. You can’t allow this tragedy to go on.”

“Then, are you going to accept her? To accept her as your sister?”

Pausing for a few seconds, Conrad said, “I’ve promised Fia to not tell Eileen about her true parentage. The reason I’m telling you this is because I don’t want to see you continue on making this mistake. As

for whether or not she’ll learn of it later on… I guess this is up to Garrett and the Evans… It’s up to them if they can recognize her or not.”
