“Don’t touch her!” Jason stood in front of Fia, glaring at each and everyone of the police officers that were present. “I’m Jason Evans from Argonauts Corp. I’ll be her guarantor…”“Evans, there’s no need to do that.” Fia tugged Jason’s sleeve. “I’ll cooperate with them at the station.”At this time, a car stopped. Tiger quickly ran over.“What’s going on?” he asked as he looked at Fia. “What happened?”Fia then looked at Tiger and asked, “Where’s Conrad?”“He was in a car accident when he was on his way back. He’s heading here right now.”“A car accident?” Fia looked at him with suspicion before glancing at Britney, who was playing innocent.“Why… Why are you looking at me?” Britney hid behind one of the policemen.It all felt ridiculous to Fia. The person in front of her probably wasn’t the real Britney Thomas!She first called her to River Fane and did an act with the clown mask. And that strange scent made her unable to think and lose her strength.That scent probably had
“Very well.”When Tiger got into his car, he called Conrad and told him everything.Conrad immediately told his bodyguard to drive to the police station.When Fia got off the police car at the station, Conrad arrived.“Let go of her!” He ran over toward her with little care for his injured head.Fia looked at the gauze around his head and the dried blood on his white shirt, then remembered the car accident that Tiger had mentioned. She felt somewhat regretful about it.“I’m fine. They’re just going to record my statement. You should go to the hospital to check your injuries.”Conrad shook his head. He dragged Fia away from the policeman next to her and held her hand.“I’ll stay with you.”“Please don’t interfere with our investigation!” the police captain said angrily.“What are you doing?!” Finn roared from his car window which had only been rolled down halfway as he stopped his car. He didn’t even have the time to get out of his car.The captain frowned when he saw the dir
“I want to sue him for defaming my wife!” Conrad said.Finn and everyone else was speechless.Conrad then said coldly, “He has no right to become a policeman with that attitude of his!”Finn coughed awkwardly and said, “That’s your right. We won’t interfere. Now, back to the case.”Conrad then looked at Britney coldly and said threateningly, “You better think twice about your explanation, Britney. How did you fall off the bridge? And what did you say to my wife?”Britney gulped. She didn’t even need to pretend to be afraid… She was genuinely fearful.Finn slammed the table. “Careful with your attitude and stop threatening her!”“I didn’t.” Conrad looked away and made a gesture for him to continue.Finn then looked at Britney. “You said you were pushed down the bridge by Fia. Did you do or say anything that provoked her?”“I didn’t!” Britney said. “I was simply taking a walk alone at River Fane. She found me after she got out of the car and began to yell and humiliate me.”Fin
“You know everything, don’t you? Did you know that she didn’t die? You saved her, didn’t you?!”She didn’t know who else had the ability or the need to save her other than him!“I didn’t!” Conrad tried to hug Fia so that she could calm down.But when she remembered how she lost her mother and her children, how much hurt she had suffered, and how the man that she loved so much became an accessory to the murderer…“Don’t touch me!” Fia’s eyes were so red as if they were bleeding and she hit Conrad's hand. She quickly stood up, wanting to leave all the chaos.However, she hadn’t even managed to take a few steps when her legs lost their strength and she almost fell.Jason was somewhat close to her, so he managed to catch her in time.“Fia.”Fia looked at Jason. She originally wanted to push him away, but when she heard Britney screaming, “You have to believe me, Mr. Maxwell!”, she remembered that she was Esme. She had no evidence, but it was possible that Conrad had been protecti
“A word of advice, don’t step out of line!” Conrad let out a sneer. “Tiger, send Miss Thomas to the hospital.”“Of course!” Tiger walked around the table toward Britney. “Let’s go, Miss Thomas!”Britney looked at Conrad as he left, upset.Silas looked at Britney with disdain and chased after his boss.To Finn, it was nothing but a shock. It was good news for Fia if Britney chose not to pursue this any further. He asked Britney to stay and then prepared the written statement.Britney signed the statement and then looked at Finn pitifully. “Speaking of which, I should be addressing you as my brother-in-law, right? My sister said you’re a good man. I never thought that you'd help outsiders to bully me.”Finn frowned. “You shouldn’t make things up.”“While you looked impartial on the surface, you smiled the moment you heard that I chose not to pursue this. It proves that you care about Fia,” Britney said with sadness on her face.When Finn thought about Barbara, his voice softene
Even some simple over-the-counter medicine for fever could make someone drowsy or sleepy when the medicine took effect.Some medicine would also cause some adverse effects.“That’s not it.” Fia’s voice came from behind the curtain. Sally and Jason quickly pulled the curtain and walked toward her.Fia was already sitting up, her face a little pale.She then said, “When I was on the bridge at River Fane, I don’t know what Britney did, but I smelled a strange scent. And then, my mind became blurry, and I started to lose strength.Jason and Sally exchanged a glance.Sally said, “Sounds like there might be sedatives involved.”Fia curiously asked, “Can sedatives be made into fragrances?”Sally quickly nodded. “Of course! My older brother’s research is in this area. He knows a lot about this.”Jason quickly said, “Maybe you can give your brother a call and ask him about it?”“Sure!” Sally took out her phone and called Peter right in front of Fia and Jason.Peter didn’t hide anythi
Sally looked at Fia with mixed feelings. “You must be feeling very upset right now, right? I’ll get a psychiatrist to check up on you.”The light in Fia’s eyes disappeared as she said in a nonchalant tone, “I don’t need a psychiatrist. I know what I’m talking about.”Sally couldn’t suspect her own brother, so she believed that Fia had begun to hallucinate because her emotions were getting unstable.“You should get a checkup anyway! There’s a very famous psychiatrist visiting the hospital today. I’ll book a slot for you.”“No!” Fia got off the bed. “I’m fine.”She pulled the curtain and walked away, and Sally’s door was kicked open. Conrad walked in with a dark expression.“Fia, are you feeling unwell?”When Fia saw him, her eyes became numb.“Fia?” Conrad called out to her carefully. “Can you please not get angry first? Can we talk?”Fia looked down and asked, “What did she say after I left?”Conrad went silent.Fia then looked at Silas who came in after him. “Silas. Tell me
“In the future, please don’t disturb me anymore! I do not wish to participate in your matters!”She did not want to hear them talking about her brother!Fia looked at Sally. “I’m sorry.”After apologizing, she did not say anything more and left her office.Conrad immediately followed after her.Jason looked at Sally who sat at the front of her office. “Sally, Fia isn’t…”“Can you please stop talking!” Sally shouted, losing control as her eyes welled up with tears.“Jason, have you ever thought of things from my perspective? Have you ever considered me? I like you! Because I like you, I could treat Fia as a friend, as a sister! Because I like you, I can come running to her ward with just a single sentence from you regardless of how busy or tired I am!”Jason frowned deeper as she spoke, also understanding his own cruelty toward her.“I will pay attention in the future.”Sally looked at Jason miserably, and only felt things to be ridiculous.Pay attention in the future?
