Once the swelling went down, she would recover her looks. “Master has a way, but it isn’t necessary for him to help you.” “Call him for me. I’ll speak to him myself!” Fia’s gaze was sharp. She had a way to persuade him! What he took a fancy to was the viciousness exuding from her body. As long as it would help her to keep her children, she was willing to do anything!What kindness? What innocence? All that would only bring her injuries and ruin! She could give up all those useless things!Britney replied, “I’ll try my best.”Britney had barely left when the door opened and a man in a black outfit and a gold mask entered.“Looking for me?”“Yes!” Fia struggled to sit up as she stared at the man, bearing with her dizziness.“What’s going on?” The man slowly walked over and pulled a chair to sit.Fia swallowed. “Can you help me keep my children?”The man replied, “Twins need to absorb a lot of nutrients from their mother’s body. Your body constitution has always been we
Britney replied, “Yes.”Fia said, “He promised to let you go and get rid of the chaser?”“Yes.” Britney looked at Fia deeply. “Actually, you made the right choice. He can help you to take down Esme.”Fia said with a cold smile, “Then why did he not help you to take her down?”“Because I’m just a useless pawn that isn’t worth it.” Britney lowered her voice and said with her head lowered, “I never understood why he hates Conrad so much. He…”“Nothing to do with me!” Now, when Fia heard this name, her entire body would turn cold. She hated him so much that her heart hurt!“Alright, then I wish you all the best!” Britney’s lips curled slightly as she gave the car key to Fia. “This is the car Master prepared for you.”Fia accepted the key and looked at Britney and said, “I hope you will no longer be let down.”She could see that although Britney had resentment toward Peter, the feelings in her heart had yet to disappear.Next time, if she went back, Britney might get entangled with
The journey across this hill was much shorter than taking the road. Right now, all she could think about was reaching River Fane as fast as she could. Her master was waiting for her there. Only he could save her—bringing her out of the city, giving her a new identity—which would allow her to disappear! If she could escape, she would have a chance to come back another time to make Conrad fall for her! At the same time, Fia slowed down the car when the river came into view. She took a glance at her phone’s GPS then glared at a hill nearby.A silhouette rolled down from the hill pathetically. However, that person got back on her feet quickly and hurried to the car. “Master! Master! I’m here!”Fia hit the brakes and flipped on the car’s high beam!Blinded by the car’s headlights, Esme cried out loudly, “Master, save me!”Sitting in the car, Fia put her hand on a spanner with a smirk. This was obviously that man’s plan. He tricked her into coming to River Fane by making her think
As Esme reveled in her victory, Fia gripped her spanner and whacked at the wench’s back. Not expecting the retaliation, Esme fell to the ground, panting for air.Fia quickly got on her and raised her spanner again with a cold smirk.“If Aunt Echo sees this from the afterworld, she would be deeply saddened!” Esme shouted.Fia froze when she heard her cousin mentioning her mother. Indeed, no matter how difficult life was, her mother would always soldier on and keep her soul pure. Even when she was dying, Echo did not resent and hate Beth and Esme. She even hoped that Fia would find a way to get along with them.Noticing Fia’s hesitation, Esme saw hope of getting out of this alive. She said, “My mom is dead too. You and I are women without mothers! If my mom and Aunt Echo learned about us fighting to the death like this, they would be very disappointed!”“…”Fia’s hand shook when she heard this. She knew her mother very well, so she knew Esme was speaking the truth—that her mother
“Come quietly now!” Wilfred and his colleagues put a pair of handcuffs on Esme and brought her to a police car nearby.When he walked past Fia, he told one of his colleagues, “You bring Ms. Lawson back to the station.”“Certainly.”Then, Wilfred and his partner drove Esme straight to the station.Sitting on the ground, Fia smiled faintly at the two police officers that were approaching her.“What did I do to deserve the arrest?”A police officer said, “It’s about that video that Mr. Maxwell had released online. We need your assistance to investigate the matter further.”Fia asked curiously, “Is it true that Beth Lawson’s dead?”“Yes, ma’am.”“Was I the one who killed her?”“No. At first, the doctors were able to save her through a surgery but she became a vegetable soon after. Then, a round of blackout caused her to suffocate and die.”The officer then said to her gently, “Ma’am, Director Parker promised that he’ll look into this matter personally. We need to bring you back
Sally’s tears rolled down her face as she heard Fia’s vengeful words through the phone. “Fia? Fia!!”Sally ran down the stairs as she spoke to the phone frantically.“Fia, where are you? Fia!”Sally’s heart sank as she heard Fia’s eerie, heartbreaking laughter from the phone.“Please answer me, Fia! Where are you? I’ll come get you home.”Peter, who just got home, saw Sally tearfully rushing out the door and immediately stopped her.“Where are you going?”Sally widened her eyes before covering her phone with her hand. She dared not to tell her brother, fearing that he would hurt Fia again.Peter frowned and asked, “I asked you a question, Sally!”Sally shook her head and said, “I’m just talking to Jason on the phone. We are fighting over something.”Peter looked at his sister in suspicion. “Fighting over something? With Jason Evans? Then why are you crying like this?”Sally glared at him with her tearful eyes. “Don’t you know? I love him! Yet, he doesn’t love me. He doesn’
Sally, too, rushed to Fia, kneeling next to her.“Fia… are you alright…? Fia…”She dug her hand out of the snow, and kept on blowing on them and rubbing them with her hands, trying to warm her up.Jason opened the med kit and began measuring her body temperature and blood pressure, trying to make sure that she was alright. As he was helping her, his eyes welled up with tears, feeling so heartbroken seeing her like this.A few moments later, Fia gradually regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and gave them a faint smile. Her smile was bleak and bitter. It was as though the girl had lost the naivety in her soul. “… Mom… I’ve had enough… I don’t think I can go on like this anymore… I’m so tired… of everything…”Jason put down the med kit and carried Fia in his arms.“Sally, we have to bring her to the hospital right away! You drive!”“Oh… Okay!” Sally quickly got to her feet and ran, almost stumbling and falling on the way to the car. She opened the door as Jason carried
Tiger frowned. “But Sir just woke up. And he’s got a fever too. Perhaps we should go and check up on Madam first.”Silas nodded. “Indeed. Sir can’t do anything to help her at the moment either.”“Yeah, let’s tell him after they both get better.”“Okay. After they get better.”……“She’s breathing!” Jason could feel Fia begin to breathe weakly again along the way to the elevator.After calling the hospital's director, Sally looked at her brother, pleasantly surprised upon hearing what Jason said.“Thank you, Peter.”“It’s too early to be glad. She’s not out of the woods yet,” Peter said with a heavy heart.He had known his master for a long time. So, he knew just what kind of game he was playing. Sally valued Fia so heavily as her friend. This whole ordeal would definitely break her heart.Not knowing what was going on in her brother’s mind, Sally gave him a tearful smile.“Pete, Fia will be fine.”“Perhaps.”As the door of the elevator opened, they quickly brought Fia in an
