His broken Fortunese and his words made Sally so disgusted that she couldn’t help but retch.“Darn you!” The foreigner was instantly irritated. He grabbed the blanket that was covering her and wanted to throw it away.But he didn’t expect Sally to be quite strong and he only managed to move her a little. He was so angry that he wanted to give her a slap.“To hell with you!”…Conrad and Fia arrived at the hotel, whereas Tiger and his men were already having a confrontation with the hotel’s security team.“Sir, these people are stopping us from proceeding with the search!” Tiger was very angry as his hands curled into fists.Conrad scanned his enemies coldly and said, “Take them down. Walk over their corpses if you have to!”“Understood!” With Conrad’s command, Tiger could feel his blood begin to boil as he led his team to take out the opposing force.Meanwhile, Conrad covered Fia’s eyes and whispered into her ears, “Don’t look.”Fia nervously asked, “Stop the fight and go loo
He already told Silas to lead his men and search the hotel. They would be able to find her, dead or alive.But he was worried that the search result wouldn’t be good. He didn’t want Fia to witness it firsthand.“Silas is already searching for her. Let’s wait for the news, alright?” he consoled her gently.Fia mumbled, “Esme never has a bottom line. Why would she do that to Sally? Is it because Sally wanted to treat me? Is it because of me that…”“No, Fia. No.” Conrad held Fia’s face up as if no one was around and bent down, placing his forehead on hers.Ms. Bennett was shocked. Was that really the boss that she knew?In the room, Sally had already been hit countless times by that large man.The man kept on hitting her and cursing at her, wanting her to remove the blanket.However, she hung on to it tightly. She didn’t let go, not even when she was losing consciousness.A voice kept on ringing in her head. She must never let go! Never!The moment she let go and surrendered, sh
Silas frowned and asked everyone to leave. He then gave his boss a call.“We found him, sir. Room 000 in basement level one.” He then looked at Sally. “She’s not doing well.”Conrad hung up and looked at Fia’s nervous eyes and said calmingly, “Don’t worry. Silas found her.”“How is she?”“She’s fine. I’ll have my men take her to…”“I want to see her!” Fia cut Conrad off. She didn’t believe him!Kent scratched his head and walked over after he stopped surrounding himself with aggression.“Are you okay, Sally?”Sally tightened herself into a ball as she trembled. “Go away… Go away…”Kent tried to say to her, “I… I saved you. I won’t hurt you.”As he said that, he knelt down.“Doctor Sally, we… We’ve met each other before. I used to go to the hospital to meet…”“Don’t come near me!” Sally’s mind was in complete chaos. Why would Britney treat her like this? Was it because her brother was getting angry at her and let Britney do this to her?She was sure that this Britney was no
Kent saw Sally looking at Fia in a daze and felt that Fia would be more reliable than he would be.Before he left, he went to Fia’s side and instructed softly, “Talk to her. She appears quite calm, but I think she doesn’t feel too great inside.”“Thank you, Mr. Gilbert.” Fia waited for him to leave before pumping herself up and walking to Sally.She very sensitively smelled a faint odd fragrance mixed with the scent of alcohol on Sally.That fragrance was exactly the same as the one she had smelled on the bridge of River Fane.In an instant, Britney’s face appeared in her mind and she was even more certain that it was Esme!She blamed herself. It was clear that she had implicated Sally.“Sally, let’s leave this place first, alright?”Sally’s eyes were red and her face was extremely swollen.Her tightly clenched hands suddenly loosen as she jumped into Fia’s embrace.“Fia…”Fia felt herself crumble when she heard Sally say her name in such a hoarse voice.She really wanted t
Conrad waved at the bodyguard. “Let him come over.”Peter walked to Conrad and was stopped by the bodyguards.“What do you mean by this!” Peter glared at Conrad with a gloomy gaze.Conrad’s expression was dull as he said, “I asked you to come over, not go in.”Peter was a little speechless. When the two of them met previously, they were both still considered gentlemanly and polite to each other.“Mr. Hall, I just wanted to ask you, where were you when something happened to your sister?” Conrad asked coldly.“What happened to her?” Peter frowned.“What happened?” Conrad suddenly felt that he had overestimated Peter.At that moment, the door to Peter’s car which was stopped at the outside of the hotel opened, and Britney came walking over with a limp.Conrad swept a glance at her swollen ankle and retracted his gaze.“Mr. Maxwell, stop preventing Peter from seeing his sister. He has something important to say to her.”Conrad turned and walked into the lobby of the hotel to sit
“Pete, let me ask you once more. Do you believe her?”Peter avoided his sister’s gaze and said faintly, “You should have listened to me.”“Peter, you have to believe me. You saw it. My ankle is very swollen and even walking hurts.”Peter suddenly turned to look at Esme, his eyes filled with fire that was about to burst into flames.This despicable person knew that he wouldn’t expose her on the spot and was confident!“Alright, let me change the question. Pete, why didn’t you find me in time?” Sally asked.Esme was just about to speak when Peter did first. “When I found out that you were eating with Britney, I immediately rushed over from work, wanting to have a meal with you two. I had just arrived at the restaurant entrance when I saw Britney fall and her ankle swelled up so I sent her to the nearest clinic and was delayed."A hint of pain flashed in the bottom of Peter’s eyes. He never thought that Esme would be so despicable! To think that she would delay him, lie to him, and
Conrad was looking on indifferently. But when he caught the maliciousness in Esme’s eyes, right before she managed to use strength, he quickly pulled Fia back.“Why are you grabbing me!” Fia pounded Conrad angrily.“Fia, pay attention to your body,” Conrad gently said by her ear.Fia recalled that she was pregnant. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.Sally got out of Kent’s car, extremely worried as she shouted, “Fia, don’t dirty your hands.”Fia looked at her, feeling guilty.She had caused Sally to suffer so greatly, yet she was unable to do anything to the culprit.Sally stretched out her hand toward Fia. “Come with me to the hospital. I need you.”When Peter heard his sister say “I need you” to a stranger, he felt unprecedented sadness.That sister of his who had always relied on him and trusted him, would rather be close to an outsider and the daughter of an enemy!“Sure.” Fia pushed Conrad aside and immediately went forward.Conrad wasn’t too happy
“Didn’t you bring up the topic?” Conrad had an indifferent expression. “Where did you find the shamelessness to put the blame on me?”“Alright, Conrad, shut up!” Fia could not continue watching. Although her husband usually spoke little, he was quite good at roasting people. She was afraid that he would make Kent so angry that Kent might not be able to hold the steering wheel well and cause an accident.“Got it, Fia.” Conrad’s tone became gentle.Kent snorted. “Putting on an act. Jason is not like you, so fake, with double standards!”“Are you saying that Jason is like a centralized air conditioner? And treats everyone with gentleness and affection?” When Conrad didn’t speak, he didn’t speak, but when he spoke, he could really anger one to death.Kent couldn’t help but hit the brakes and glare at Conrad, dumbfounded.It was like he had just learned something new!The Conrad he heard of and the one he was interacting with was just too different!“Don’t you know how to drive? Doc
