Chapter 627
She didn’t know if it had something to do with Britney.
Could it be that he was touched because of her?
That couldn’t be right! With Conrad’s martial abilities, even without Britney blocking the attack for him, he could
have easily taken the man down.
Instead, because Britney blocked the attack, Conrad couldn’t capture the man!
“Silas, is the reason he drank because of Britney?” Fia’s tone was still as calm.
However, Silas became nervous and quickly explained, “Don’t think too much, madam! You know that the boss only
thinks of you! He doesn’t have any feelings for Britney! She’s the one that pounced on him and grabbed the boss’
leg!”
Fia was silent. She had already seen those pictures on the web and knew mostly what happened.
“Have any of you visited her because of her injury?”
“…I mean, we should visit her on behalf of the company, but the boss didn’t allow us to,” Silas said as he bit his lips.

Fia gulped. She didn’t know why, but she felt Britney’s eyes in that banquet looked a lot like Esme’s.
Her mind was in chaos, but she had already decided on a few things when she was on her way here.
“Go and visit Britney on behalf of your boss and the company. Get some flowers and fruits.”
Silas hesitated. “Maybe we can wait until the boss is awake first?”
“Regardless of her intention, she got hurt because of Conrad. If you don’t visit her, it’ll become part of someone’s
gossip later.”
“Fine, I’ll visit her.”
Fia then tilted her head. “She’s in this hospital too?”
Silas stopped. “Yes.”
“Then watch over Conrad. I’ll go see her.” She had to meet Britney again and clarify why she felt such familiarity
with her.
“Let me go. If anything were to happen to you, the boss will get angry when he’s awake.”
“This is the hospital. There are a lot of people around here. She can’t do anything to me,” Fia
said as she looked at Conrad, who was still unconscious. “Watch over him. Don’t let get close to him.’

Fia went to buy some flowers and a fruit basket from a nearby shop, and then brought them to Britney’s ward.
There were a lot of people here. The entire Thomas family, Peter, and Sally were all there.
Fia’s sudden appearance attracted their attention.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas asked, “Who are you?”
Fia’s eyes went through everyone and fell on Britney, who was sitting with her back against the headboard.
“I’m here to thank you, Miss Thomas.”
Britney tried her best to force a smile as the hands that she placed on her knee on top of the blanket gripped
tighter.
“Thank you, Mrs. Maxwell.”
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas exchanged a glance. “You’re Mr. Maxwell’s wife?”
“I am.” Fia walked in without shifting her attention and then placed the flowers and the fruit basket on the bedside
table.

“Thank you for being there tonight, Miss Thomas. Otherwise, my husband would be the one hurt.”
Britney bit her lips. “It’s alright. This is my duty.”
“Your duty?” Fia raised her eyebrow. Every word out of Britney’s mouth could make her
suspicious.
“What I’m trying to say is that it’s the duty of a staff member of Maxwell Corporation. He’s our boss.”
“Miss Thomas, your duty as a staff member is to work, not sell your life.” Fia wanted to see something on her face
as she stared at her.
“Watch your words!” Mrs. Thomas rushed over and pulled Fia away. “My daughter got injured because of your
husband. How can you say something like that!”
“That’s right. H should come here personally to thank her, not you!”
“Dad, Mom! Don’t!” Barbara walked over and pulled her mother’s grasp from Fia. She then looked at Fia with mixed
feelings. “You should go. My parents are in a bad mood… They’ll turn their anger toward you.”
Fia smiled at Barbara and said, “You know about the fire in your office, Madam Barbara?”
Barbara’s expression became even more complex. “Yes, I know.”
She then turned and glanced at her sister. “We’ll talk about this when I go back to work tomorrow.”
