Chapter 622
“Patrols twenty-four-seven and checking the food ingredients… Did something happen for Mr. Maxwell to make
everything so strict?” Mary asked curiously.
Fia looked at Sharon and William. She didn’t want to talk about her two miscarriages in front of them.
“There’s nothing wrong with being cautious.”
Mary frowned. When she saw her expression become somewhat melancholic, she quickly changed the topic.
“Mr. Maxwell isn’t here tonight, too?”
Fia nodded. “Yes, he’s away for a banquet. Mr. Lane?”
Mary then said, “Also at a banquet.
Fia said curiously, “Then maybe they went to the same banquet.”
Mary nodded. “Should be. I didn’t ask him about it either. I went to pick the children he was leaving so I didn’t ask
for the details.”
Fia gave it a thought and asked, “Did Mr. Lane ask you to go with him?”
Mary shook her head. “Ever since I had my twins, I don’t like attending these events anymore.”

Fia patted the twins’ heads. “True. Accompanying the children is much better than seeing all those fake people.”
“Not only are they fake, but they also lie and deceive, as well as compare themselves with others. It’s quite
annoying,” Mary said with a sigh. “There’s a time when Tyler kept asking me to go with him. I really can’t take those
people.”
Fia remembered when she was little and said, “It’s good to accompany the children when they’re younger. As they
get older, they won’t stick with their parents for long.”
Mary sighed and said, “True. They don’t know much when they were born and would only call out for me. All they
know is their mommy.
“But once they grow up and learn more, they don’t stick to me as much
anymore.
“And now, they adore you as their godmother. When they encounter people they like, they’ll have more and more
people inside of their heart,” Mary said and she couldn’t help but cry.
That happened to all mothers.
When the children were little, mothers would feel very tired. Sometimes they felt like they

were so tired that they couldn’t even breathe.
When the children grew up and had their own worlds, they became disappointed. Saddened.
“If I had known my mom would pass away so soon, I would have spent more time with her,” Fia’s eyes turned red
too as she said regretfully.
“Dinner’s ready! Wash your hands and eat!” Mrs. Whitley came over.
“Come on, let’s go and eat.” Fia tried to keep her head high and held one of the twins in one hand and the other in
the other hand.
The banquet was organized by the Gryphon Chamber of Commerce. Almost everyone who ran a business in
Gryphon was here.
It had been a long time since Conrad joined a banquet like this. The reason he came here was to introduce Tyler to
the people in Gryphon city.
People began to congregate around him thanks to his status.
When Tyler stood next to him, he whispered, “The people in Gryphon are even more annoying
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthan those from Oceania.”
“True.” Conrad held a wine glass. He would raise it whenever people would cheer on him, but he never sipped the
wine.
All of them could only feel awkward.
Tyler then got close to his ears and mumbled, “You can’t be this arrogant. A lot of people will
curse you.”
“Let them,” Conrad said expressionlessly.
Silas ran over quickly and asked those who were not important to leave. The ones left behind were Conrad’s
targets.
Conrad introduced Tyler to them and then gave him a glance, “Have a chat with them, alright?”
“Sure!” Tyler smiled gregariously and invited them to take a seat somewhere else.
When his surroundings were quieter, Conrad pulled his necktie and put down his wine glass, wanting to send Fia a
text.
“Mr. Maxwell.”
It was a vibrant but seductive voice.
Conrad turned and looked. It was a beautiful woman wearing a black dress, smiling at him.”Have you forgotten?
Didn’t you tell me to come with you to the banquet yesterday?” Britney’s hands coiled tightly in front of her.
