Chapter 1141
Receiving the necklace from Irene, Jason smiled at the girl before facing Fia again. “Your account number?”
Fia took out her phone and logged onto her bank app, then showed Jason the receipt she had received earlier. It
was then Jason finally knew the name of this woman-Sia*.
Well, only half of the name. Her surname was censored so he could only see her first name.
“What’s your last name?” he asked instinctively.
“Stewart,” Fia answered coldly. She could not afford to blow her cover, not yet. Especially not in front of Jason.
Hearing her surname, Jason nodded with a heavy heart and returned her the three million, which meant he even
forfeited the profit.
“What about the profit you earned from the auction?”
“It’s fine. I could put this necklace up for auction again.” Jason said after a short moment of silence, “I hope we
won’t face another buyer like you again, Ms. Stewart.”

“It’s true. This necklace isn’t worth three million. At best, this thing is only worth a few hundred thousand.”
After saying that, Jason turned and left. Seeing him leave, Fia let out a sigh of relief. The man had changed after all.
In the past, Jason was a warmer person. Now, he had lost that friendly temperament of his, making him seem so
cold and unfriendly.
“Mommy, do you know that man?” Irene asked curiously.
Fia squatted down and hugged her children.
“No, I don’t.”
She did not want her children to know too much. It was her burden to bear, and hers alone. She had decided to
start over with a clean slate. So, there was no point getting reconnected with her past.
“But Mommy… If you don’t know him, why are you feeling sad?” Adrian asked.
“No, Mommy’s not sad. I’m just a little tired. That’s all. You see, I didn’t sleep well last night.” Fia kissed her
children’s faces and said, “Let’s go home and have a nap, shall we?”
“Okay!” the twins answered excitedly.
Meanwhile, two women were looking at Fia and her children through their car window nearby. After observing for a
while, Eileen asked, “Lyn, do you think that woman looks like Fia?”
Lyn shook her head and said, “No, they’re not the same person. She was so rude to Mr. Evans just now. If she were
Ms. Fia, she
would never talk to him like that.”
“Yeah, I suppose so.” Eileen said in disappointment, “When I went to see her that day, she didn’t exactly welcome
me with open arms either.”
“Eileen, Ms. Fia had passed on. She is probably resting in peace in the heavens by now. Who knows, she might have
reincarnated and is living a better life. You can’t keep living in the past like this anymore!”
Eileen put a hand on her forehead and said, “Yeah, yeah. I know. Let’s go.”

When the car drove away, Fia turned and glanced at it. She had noticed it from the moment it parked there. Even
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthough the car was brand new, the car plate’s number was still the same.
Eileen was always like this, clinging onto the past. Even if she had bought a new phone for work, she would still keep
the
number that she had been using since high school. Fia had wanted to call that number in the past few years when
she was feeling lonely in the night. Yet, she could never work up the courage to do it.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Irene asked.
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Fia sighed.
Still, Fia had memorized the car’s plate number.
When they arrived home, Fia quickly helped her children to wash their faces before bringing them to bed. They all
had their own bedrooms. Adrian and Irene would always sleep in their own rooms at night. Right now, however, the
twins refuse to go back to their rooms. They wanted to be with their mommy.
Sandwiched by her children on her bed, Fia could not help but think about Conrad as she stared at the ceiling. When
she recalled how he limped around with his walking cane, Fia felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Everyone had changed in the past five years.
