Chapter 325
“What picture?”
Fia took out her phone and walked over to show it to him.
When Conrad saw the picture, he was full of disgust.
“Who sent it to you?”
“Even you feel disgusted when it’s you in the picture. Outsiders will only get more ideas out of this,” Fia whispered. “I really hate to see both of you in the same picture, even if nothing happened.”
Conrad could only stare at Fia with a frown.
“Once this is over, can we just send her away?”
“Send her away?” Fia cracked a smile. “After what she did to me, she will be punished to the full extent of the law!
“Oh, Conrad. Did your heart soften again? Did she beg you just now? Maybe she cried and sobbed?”
Conrad frowned and said, “She didn’t. Can you please not think that I’m that weak?”
“I want to, but I can’t control my own brain.” Fia forced a smile. “Take care.”
Fia had just left the interrogation room when she met up with Silas.
“Oh, why are you here, madam?!” Silas’s expression immediately changed. ‘Did she find out?”
“Your boss is inside the washroom.”
Madam, please listen to what I have to say! Sir told us to get prepared before he was brought here. We expected that something would happen, but we didn’t expect Ms. Manning to be so… but he really didn’t do anything with Ms. Manning! I can guarantee!”
“I’m going back to the hospital first,” Fia said with a smile. She didn’t want to discuss it anymore. She was getting tired.
“Alright, please take care of the madam, Doctor Evans.” Silas smiled pleadingly at Jason.
Jason sneered and said, “Your boss is so troublesome.”
“Please don’t think too much about it. Our boss is known for his bad temper. That’s how he treats most people.”
Once they were out of the station, Jason went to get his car and had Fia wait outside the entrance.
At this time, a black, extra–long Lincoln stopped in front of her some distance away.
She glanced and saw a handsome and serious middle–aged man walking out from the car dressed in a black suit.
“Director, the assistant director has really gone overboard this time. How will you deal with him?”
“Report to the higher–ups without any cover up. He’ll get punished as it is meant to be!”
The director’s assistant sighed. “What a fool. Can’t he just do his job as the assistant director? Why must he do something that could get him fired because of family?!”
Finn Parker suddenly stopped as his eyes fell on a young woman.
She was slender and quite pretty. Despite her subservient look, she had an aura of estrangement around
her. Her beautiful facial features made her very eye–catching among the crowd.
“Director?” The assistant looked at Fia. He thought it weird that the director, who normally didn’t care about other women, looked at a little girl like that.
“Humans can never sever the bond of blood and family even when they get old. Assistant Director Manning simply committed a mistake that most people would make.”
“You’re right, of course. That’s why if we want to focus on our work, we have to separate our work and private life. Otherwise, we can’t go far.”
“Indeed,” Finn said as he walked toward the young woman.
“Young lady, is there a reason for you to be here?” It was rare for him to be so sincere and show such a
kind smile.
“Huh?” Fia shrank back. She had heard their conversation. He was the director!
Why would he suddenly talk to her?
Finn’s assistant quickly said, “Don’t worry, young lady. This is Director Parker. He’s just transferred to Gryphon from the capital city Lumenpolis! The director is very fair! We can help you deal with your case if you have any.”
Fia shook her head. She didn’t trust the person in front of her.
Even the assistant director could scheme against Conrad. She didn’t know who this director was. Who
knew what his intention was?
“No thanks. I’m just here for a visit.”
“Who?” Finn asked.
“This is my private matter.” Fia’s expression became even colder as she stared at Finn warily.
Finn couldn’t help but smile. “Pardon my intrusion, then. What is your name?”
Fia’s expression became even darker.
“You know you’re intruding on my private space, but you’re still asking my name?”
“Well, how can you speak like that? We’re…”
“It’s fine.” Finn patted his assistant’s shoulder and looked at Fia, impressed. “She’s a good girl.”
