“Sure.”Fia lay down and unbuttoned her shirt so that Sally could listen to the babies’ heartbeat.She whispered, “Are they three months old now?”Fia nodded. “In two more days.”Sally continued, “From the looks of it, your kids are doing fine. Remember, don’t get too tired. If there’s anything, tell Conrad or the others to do it.”Fia lowered her eyes and said, “What I want to do the most now is to make Esme reveal her true face so that she can be punished to the full extent of the law!”“That is something quite difficult to achieve right now,” Sally said. She got a headache when she thought about her brother.After completing the checkup, Sally taught Fia how to massage herself. She only left after she was sure that Fia didn’t make any mistakes.Sophia walked Sally out while Fia was lying on the bed, thinking about something.Once out of the mansion, Sally asked Sophia, “Who has Fia met lately?”Sophia said, “Quite a few.”Sally said, “Tell Conrad to let her see fewer peop
“Conrad always likes to do things that make me upset,” Victor said as he pressed on his wounds. It really was upsetting.The secretary hesitated for a while before saying, “To be honest, Mr. Maxwell still treats you quite well.”“How so?” Victor didn’t want to acknowledge it.“We can start with what happened in the northern suburbs this time. If he didn’t help, you would have…” The secretary stopped. He would have already died from losing too much blood before he could reach the hospital.However, he didn’t dare to say it out loud.Victor frowned and said, “Well, that’s his fault. He made too many enemies, and dragged me into it because we share the same last name.”The secretary tried his best not to roll his eyes. He was the boss. He was always right.…Eileen walked around the place before coming back and then looked at the building opposite.She asked Silas, “Why does Conrad want to set up an office here?”“You’re overthinking things, Ms. Reid,” Silas quickly explained. “
Fia nodded. “So, what is your final decision?”Barbara said, “We have to see what Peter says and see if he has any remorse toward Britney.”“Sally!” Fia shouted in the direction of the changing room.Sally came out in a white coat. “Barbara, Britney, do you believe me?”The Thomas sisters exchanged a glance and both nodded.“There is something I need to remind you.” Sally hesitated. “My brother has been investigating lately whether what happened to my dad has anything to do with your family.”Barbara replied, “I know. He called me.”“When misfortune befell our family back then, my brother was the one who withstood the greatest torture. If this matter is really related to Mr. Thomas, I’m afraid that my brother will hate all of you from the Thomas family.”Sally said, “So, testing him might allow him to figure out that Britney is alive. There is a possibility… that Britney would face danger once again.”“I’m not afraid!” Britney’s hoarse voice rang out. “I already died before an
Nobody expected Peter to suddenly appear at the door and coincidentally bump into Britney. Nobody spoke and they could only silently observe. Barbara grabbed her sister’s hand nervously, fearful that Peter would go mad and want to kill her to silence her. Peter asked again, “You’re Britney?” She was dressed in black, with a black cap and black mask, and had long black hair. Her revealed skin was fair, but her features were not visible. Peter was not worried, and speedily took off her cap. Barbara shrieked. “What are you doing!” Fia and Sally also went forward in worry. As for Britney, the person involved, she did not move at all, not putting up any resistance, nor stopping him. She seemed to intentionally allow him to take off her cap. The horrifying scar from the corner of her forehead, from her eyes to her cheeks, even though it had faded quite a bit, remained a terrifying sight. One could imagine how painful and miserable it was when it was inflicted
Peter was in so much pain that he started sweating, but he did not make a sound.She looked at him, wishing she could dig his heart out to see if it was black.“Peter, does it hurt?”Peter’s eyes were damp and red, but he could not say a word.His mind was filled with the once obedient and naive little lady who always called him Peter and followed him around.“This bit of pain is too light in comparison to what I’ve gone through.” Britney laughed loudly. “You can either kill me or marry me in order to protect Esme and yourself. Only by marrying me will I keep my mouth shut.”*** Peter did not know how he managed to leave the hospital. He drove to the bridge at River Fane with one arm while the other injured one throbbed in dull pain, as if Britney cursed it. Back then he had chosen to walk the dark path and never expected any errors to occur. Now, it was clear that there was someone behind the scenes who was changing everything and making everything more complicated!“Pe
Peter raised his head and looked at the dark clouds. “It’s about to rain.”Esme did not know why he was suddenly mentioning such a thing. It made no sense.Peter continued, “Before it rains, the clouds cover the sun and even thunder will roar.”Esme was speechless.“Esme, do what you want to do. Appreciate the time you have.”Esme hugged Peter’s waist tightly, feeling that she had never felt his heart so cold.“Mr. Hall, have you forgotten our past?”“Our past is nonexistent, nor will there be a future.” Peter said sharply. “Let go!”Esme replied, “No, we clearly…”“If you don’t let go, I’ll go and surrender now!” Peter snapped.Esme’s hatred grew in her eyes as she said softly, “You men are indeed heartless. When you are in love, you say that you are willing to die for me. When you no longer love me, you can’t help but wish me dead!”Peter closed his eyes, not saying anything. He sensed her motive for hugging him and turned around to strangle her. “You’re seeking death!”
“Are you hiding something from me?” Seeing him so hesitant, Esme grabbed his arm.“Mr. Hall, if even you can’t be bothered about me, I don’t know what I would do in the future…”“I’ve said it before. As long as you don’t target me, I don’t care what you do.” Peter shook her hand off. This was the last mercy he could show her.He never thought of sending the woman he loved to hell.Regardless of how many times she had hurt him, how many times he was used by her and lied to. Back then, he hated her and wanted to kill her to end everything, but in the end, his anger still receded.Esme watched in a daze as Peter drove away. Thinking about his reminder, she immediately pulled out her phone to make a call.The man on the other end picked up, and his lazy voice came. “What’s the matter?”“Was it you who called the police? You got me to come see Peter on purpose to force him to surrender and get me killed?!” Esme questioned agitatedly.The man said with a smile, “Fool, what nonsense a
Fia shut her eyes and asked softly, “What were you busy with in the afternoon?”“Some work related stuff,” Conrad said instinctively.Fia said, “Sophia said that you got her to accompany me for a checkup after paying and then left in a hurry.“There must have been something quite urgent, right? Otherwise, why would you leave during my pregnancy checkup?”Conrad swallowed, and hugged her shoulders a little tighter.“Yeah. It was something a little more urgent. I’ve aggrieved you. I won’t do it next time.”The corner of Fia’s lips curled. “I am your wife. Can’t you tell me?”She already asked to such an extent. Conrad knew that if he continued to keep it hidden, she would only become more suspicious.“It’s my mother’s matters.”Fia was slightly stunned. She pushed him away and looked at him seriously.“What happened to her?”“She fought with the servants at the old residence, saying that she wanted to leave.” Conrad frowned. “She was a little injured, so I got the hospital hea
