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
Sally lowered her gaze and shook her head. “Thank you, Doctor Lawrence, however, it has been dealt with. Please help me take a look at my injuries and prescribe some medication.”“Alright.” Doctor Lawrence made sure to have sanitized hands before checking the injuries on her face, lightly touching her swollen face from time to time.Right at that moment, Jason brought Kent in.Sally saw Jason from the corner of her eye and immediately used Kent’s suit to cover her face.This level of nervousness made Doctor Lawrence suspicious.Quite a number of people knew about Sally’s one-sided love for Jason.Could it be that Sally’s confession was met with Jason’s rejection? And some accident happened?Or did she hit Jason in anger out of embarrassment after he rejected her and Jason accidentally hurt her?Doctor Lawrence’s mind was full of fantasies while sizing up Jason.“Hey! What kind of nonsense are you thinking about!” Kent interrupted rudely. “Quickly take a look at Doctor Sally’s
She guessed that Sally was doing it for her brother, not wishing to cause a huge ruckus.Sally looked at Conrad, who was by the side. “I’ll have to trouble you to hand that foreigner to the police.”Conrad did not hesitate. “Alright.”“Thank you all,” Sally said her thanks once more. “I have some work to do and need to make a trip to the office. I’ll make a move first.”“Sally…” Fia looked at her departing figure, feeling heartache, but she could only call out to her softly.Conrad walked over to her. “Let’s go. Let’s go home.”Fia was heartbroken and leaned into Conrad’s embrace.“Conrad, I’m very sad.”Conrad hugged her and gently patted her arm. “Doctor Sally will be fine.”He had seen many people. Although Sally appeared gentle and weak, on the inside, she was strong.Kent said, feeling at a loss, “How could it be? I saw the footage. She was totally unconscious when Britney brought her to the hotel. It’s very clear that she had been schemed against by Britney.”Fia repli
Jason gave Kent an elegant smile. “Don’t be courteous with me. I am not her lover.”“Then what do you plan to do in the future?” Kent looked at Jason with a little pity.Jason replied, “I’ll manage Argonauts Corp well and work hard.”Kent replied rudely, “Then what about the aspect of romance? You can’t possibly keep hanging yourself to death on the same tree!”“I won’t hang to death, nor will I have the chance to hang.” Jason laughed self-deprecatingly. “There are a lot of things to do at the company now. Where would I have the mood to consider things of the heart?”“All of these are excuses! Maxwell Corporation is such a big company. Aren’t there many matters to deal with? Conrad still manages to follow his wife around!”“Kent, are you blind?” Jason sighed. “He has so many people under him while I am alone.”“Oh my, isn’t that quite pitiful!” Kent ridiculed him. “Why don’t I go to your company to help you?”“You’re not willing to inherit your family business but are willing t
Kent’s expression was a little stunned. “Does your face need to be bandaged?”He was afraid that he would not be able to learn this skill as a disciple. What if he turned her into a mummy!Sally swept him an odd glance. “My face is swollen, and there are no open wounds. There is no need for bandaging.”Not only was this person a little funny, his brain was not quite the same as the ordinary person.“Then what did you take the bandages for?” “Don’t you want to learn how to deal with wounds? You guys usually get hurt due to fights, driving too fast and falling asleep, hitting something, something or another. If it’s not an open wound, usually it’d be a bone injury, so I’m teaching you how to bandage an open wound.”Kent was a little speechless and smiled awkwardly. “Doctor Sally, how do you know us men so well?”“I’ve seen many patients, so I’ve come to understand.”Kent was speechless.Sally said seriously, “I’ll teach you how to bandage and deal with open wounds that are blee
