Chapter 1143
She quickly entered her room to receive the call in private. “Hello?”
“How are you lately?”
A cold, modulated voice could be heard from the other end of the call. The voice that was clearly a result of a voice
changer was still always as cold and uncomfortable to hear. Still, Beryl had gotten used to it by now.
Every time she received his call, she would feel a rush of excitement. Even though she had not met this man behind
that voice changer before, he had given her a great sense of security.
After all, her son had become so submissive and docile to her in the last five years. And it was all thanks to him!
“Thank you, master. Your drug is really effective. My son has not recovered his memories since.”
“It’s my honor to be able to assist you,” the man said with a grin.
“When will you be giving me the next dose? I’ve increased his dose so I’m running out soon.”
“Sure, I can give you the next dose soon. But it depends on what you can do for me.”
Beryl hung up the phone, satisfied, before transferring a few assets and some funds she had acquired from her son
over to the

She had done this numerous times in the past five years and she had gotten used to it. So long as she could control
Conrad, Beryl did not mind giving up anything under her name to the man. After all, she could always earn anything
of monetary value from her son.
“Sir, I need to tell you something.”
After having lunch at Maxwell Corporation’s canteen, Silas brought his boss’s lunch over to the CEO’s office and
spoke to Conrad warily.
“Yes?” Conrad responded in a daze. His mind had been absent all morning from thinking about that bad-tempered
woman.
“It’s the old Mrs. Maxwell. Your mother, sir.” Silas said as he looked at his boss cautiously, careful to not provoke
him, “I need to talk about her.”
“What is it?” Conrad asked coldly, “Are you asking me to doubt her?”
Then, he pinched his brows and said, “Silas, you’re too paranoid. She and I have been getting along fine in the past
five years. She’s a good mother.”
Due to Beryl’s threat, Silas could not spill the beans about the whole truth to Conrad. Still, he had to say something.
“No matter how great a mother she is, you still need to be wary, sir. You need to be wary of everyone, and this
includes us and her.”

Conrad was getting impatient. Still, thinking about that woman, he did not interrupt Silas this time.
“Are you always this tired once a month?” Silas asked warily.
“Yes.” Conrad answered coldly, “What? You want me to go for another checkup?”
Silas felt so frustrated. His boss had become so cautious and untrusting toward the people around him in the past
five years. Instead, Beryl became the one he trusted most.
“I told you I’m fine. Yet, you still want to force me to go for a checkup! Don’t you know I have a lot of work to do?!”
Conrad finally lost his temper.
Silas shook his head and said, “No, I’m just worried for your health, sir. It never hurts to be careful.”
“Careful this, careful that! Silas Whitley! What you are doing right now is suspecting my mother is poisoning me! If
she
wanted to, she could have killed me so many times in the past five years!”
“Sir, but this could just mean that she hasn’t taken enough from you!” Silas raised his voice in frustration. “You have

“She’s my mother! Is it so wrong to take care of her?!” Conrad tossed a folder at Silas furiously.

Silas felt so wronged and frustrated. He was doing this for his boss’s own good! Yet, without his memories, Conrad
would not listen to a word.
“If it weren’t for you being such an excellent employee and that you haven’t screwed up anything, I would have
fired you for suspecting my mother like this!”
Silas lowered his head and said, “Alright, I won’t do this again. But I still hope that you’ll go for a checkup after
work.”
“I’m not going to!” Conrad tossed another folder at him.
Silas stood there and said, “Then I’ll contact Ms. Parker and ask her to bring you to a hospital for a checkup.”
“Are you threatening me again, Silas?! If you go to her, my mother will definitely learn of this!”
Conrad was pissed that he had thought about killing this nosy assistant of his! How could he keep nagging him to go
get a checkup every single month?!
“Please, sir. I’m just worried for you,” Silas said as he kneeled at his boss sincerely.
Conrad glared at Silas impatiently. This again! This Silas would always kneel in front of him whenever he refused to
listen to him! He would always do this to guilt trip him so he could bring him for a checkup!
