Chapter 660
“That’s because their children and grandchildren are all useless!” Conrad had a headache just thinking about it.
His grandfather told him about it too and he did want to promote them.
However, after Silas investigated them, he couldn’t use any of them as they were rotten to the core. They were all
worthless and all they did was stir up trouble.
None of the elders’ family members were of
any use!
He had no choice but to give up on them and promote the staff from the bottom rank.
“All of them? How’s that possible?! They’re quite wealthy, so their children and grandchildren should have received
a good education!”
“Just because they had a good education and environment doesn’t mean that they could learn well.”
Fia frowned. She then remembered how Conrad would always be bullied by the other scions when he was still a
teen.
Now that Conrad had become the best of the youngest generation in Gryphon, everyone else that bullied him back

Even if they weren’t completely useless, when they used whatever their family had and started their own business,
they couldn’t even earn more than they spent.
“Looks like when we have our son, we can’t let him have such an easy time.”
Conrad laughed. “How did you end up with that conclusion?”
“If he had it too easy, he would be too bored and would think of doing all those useless things. and wouldn’t know
the value of hard work!” Fia said as she raised an eyebrow. “Strong men. create good times. Good times create
weak men. Weak men create hard times! And you’re the best example of this! You’ll be our son’s best example!”
Despite all the praises that Conrad had been showered with, it was the first time he heard. something like what Fia
had said.
“You have never gone hungry, have you?” Fia suddenly realized something. “The Maxwell is such a huge
household… They wouldn’t have let you go hungry, right?”
“I did.” Conrad kissed Fia as he looked at her in shock. “When I was at my hungriest, I ate tree bark and even drank
muddy water.”
Fia was shocked even more. He was thinking that if it was the case, then his son had to eat tree bark and drink
muddy water too? Only then would he be able to become as good as his husband?
That was so tough!
Only after a while did she realize that as the scion of the Maxwell household, how was he so starved that he had to
eat tree bark and drink muddy water?
“What happened? Did your mother abuse you when you were little?”
“No matter how abusive she was, there were still others in the family. While I’d been beaten, they wouldn’t let me
go hungry.”
Tears began to form in Fia’s eyes. “Were you kidnapped when you were very little?”
“Nothing like that happened.” Conrad smiled helplessly. “I’ve never been kidnapped.”
“Then why would you go hungry to that point?”
“The Hellish Training Camp.”
Fia had heard about the training camp quite a few times already. “What kind of a place is that? They don’t feed you
at all?”
“It’s a wilderness survival training camp, except stricter.” Conrad used a common term to make it less horrifying.
He didn’t want her to know how bad it was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Is William going to suffer all that you had after you send him there?” Fia remembered that Tyler and Mary were
preparing to send William to Hellish Training Camp and couldn’t help. but become worried.
“He won’t.” Conrad flicked at her head. “He’s not your kid. Why are you so worried?”
“I’m Sharon and William’s godmother!” Fia said with a straight face. “You better tell me how he’ll be treated before
he gets sent over.”
William was already physically quite frail. She didn’t want William to be “inhumanly treated” without the Lanes
knowing!
If it was too much, she had to stop it.
“Don’t worry. I’ve arranged programs to strengthen his body. They won’t torture him.”
“Really?”
“You can ask Silas and Tiger about it if you don’t trust me.”
“I do!” Fia suppressed her suspicion, to prevent him from being unhappy.
When Conrad went to the washroom during lunch, she ran out of the office to look for Silas and Tiger at the end of
the corridor. The two of them were discussing something important
with stern faces.
“Silas! Tiger! There’s something that I need to ask you!”
