Chapter 782

Author: Stellar Strands
“Check the surveillance camera!” Finn walked to the door, worried that this could be an inside job.

Conrad quickly stood up to stop him. “Director Parker, the manager has already been murdered. Do you think the foreigner will still be useful to us?”

Finn did not know what to say to him. If the person behind the scenes could make a spineless coward like that manager to commit suicide, it was clear that these people held psychological leverage on him to the point that he would rather die than talk.

If that was true, then letting the foreigner go would serve very little in furthering their investigation.

“Very well. The man will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We will give Ms. Sally Hall the closure that she needs.” Finn finally made up his mind.

Conrad nodded and left the police station. He was glad that he did not disappoint his Fia this time.

    During the examination, Peter detected some minor bleeding from Esme’s womb. So he gave her some tocolytic agents to avoid premature labor.When Esme wanted to get up from the table, Peter ordered her coldly, “Lie down!”Esme lay back and wept again. “I did not intend to harm Sally. It was really her own doing. She was drinking alcohol and in a bad mood. I wanted to bring her to a hotel to rest… I didn’t think…”“You can stop lying now!” Peter glared at her with his brooding, loathing eyes. “No matter how much you speak to me, I will never believe a word you say! I’m only saving you for the sake of the child in your womb!”“…”Esme froze in horror. It was not uncommon to see Peter getting angry with her. However, he had never looked at her like this before. His eyes were filled with hatred, as though he was looking at human filth. Seeing him like this made her perturbed and terrified. It had been quite some time since she had returned to Fortuna but she had not successfully exac

    “Go. Leave and return to the Thomases.” Peter pulled his hand away from Esme’s embrace.Esme looked at him pitifully. “Aren’t you sending me there?”“I’ll pay you a visit later,” Peter responded coldly.Esme was so glad to hear this. Still, she maintained her pitiful, puppy face. “Okay. I’ll wait for you. If you don’t come to me, I’ll stay up at night and keep on waiting for you.”Peter nodded and saw her off. Then, he returned to his laboratory and dialed his home’s number.Upon picking the phone, Mrs. Hall spoke into the phone anxiously, “Peter, Sally and Britney went out for lunch. And they’re not back yet! Could Sally have run off with that man?!”Mrs. Hall’s words battered on Peter’s guilty conscience as he recalled the lie he made to confine Sally at home.“Mom, it’s a misunderstanding. Sally has never had a boyfriend before and she’s not pregnant. I’m sorry. I’ve made a mistake.”“Huh?!” Mrs. Hall was confused and furious upon hearing this. “A mistake? How could you make

    “Yes, yes! Britney is a fine lady indeed! Oh, my son! Finally, you’re seeing reason!”Peter said, “Mom, I’m calling you to inform you and Dad of our relationship. Britney and I will be getting married soon.”“Oh? Married? So soon?! That’s great news! Oh, after pursuing you for so long, Britney’s love is finally reciprocated! I’m so happy that you acted so fast after you’ve finally understood what a good match she is. I’m so proud of you, Peter!” Mrs. Hall was overjoyed from hearing the news. Peter gave a bitter smile and said, “Thank you, Mom. I’ll visit Mr. and Mrs. Thomas today to deliver the news. This should also give you time to prepare for what’s coming.”“Good! That’s good! Son, you’re the best! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to hang up and tell your father the good news!”“Mom…” Before Peter was able to say anything else, Mrs. Hall had hung up the phone.He wanted to ask them how they had been getting on in all those years he was not around them. Still, he had been livi

    Set off by trepidation, Sally said to her mother, “I have my reasons to not support their union. You’ve got to trust me on this one, Mom! I will never hurt my brother. But we have to stop them from being together!”Mrs. Hall shook her head in disagreement. “Your brother is about to turn thirty-five this year. If you do that, he might have to live all his life alone. It took him forever to finally decide to be with Britney…”“No, they can’t be together!” Sally said determinedly, “I won’t allow it!”Mrs. Hall was finally angered by Sally’s words. “You’re just his sister, not his parent! It won’t matter even if you don’t accept their union!”“I won’t allow it! I won’t!” Sally took her phone and dialled Peter’s number. It was then she heard his phone ringing from beyond the door. She quickly stepped out of the house. It was then that she saw Peter walking toward her. “Pete, I need to have a word with you!”“Sally, don’t make a scene.” Peter looked at her coldly.“Pete, are you sure

    Peter felt as though his heart was pierced by a knife when he heard that.“Sally, I’m not the good big brother you think I am.”“But you’ll always be the big brother who guided me to have faith in the goodness of life. Because of that, I have turned out to be a good person! No matter what you’ve been through overseas, you’re always that good brother of mine. A person can be either good or bad. So long as that person is not rotten to the core, there’s still a chance for them to redeem themselves and become good again.”Sally gave Peter her speech from the bottom of her heart. “Pete, to me, you’re a good man. You’re a good brother.”“Sally…” Peter let out a lonely, helpless sigh and said, “You’re all grown up. You don’t need me to watch over you anymore. So after we get married, I’ll take her away, away from everyone in Fortuna.”Sally was surprised to hear that. “Do you think she wouldn’t be able to hurt us just by taking her away?”“…” Peter stared at Sally speechlessly.

    Sally could not hold in her tears anymore. Her tears streamed down her cheeks.She quickly wiped off her tears and said, “They’re our mom and dad, not just mine! They had hoped to see you getting married and having a child. They had always wanted to care for and dot on their grandchild! How can you just up and leave them like this?!”If it were not for that wicked Esme, her good brother would not have lost his mind like this! She was not convinced that Esme would really behave herself. There was no way she would marry Peter and give birth to his child!“Sally, I’ve made the best compromise I could. Why can’t you understand?” Peter said in anguish. He felt that he had no right to face his little sister anymore.Sally said sarcastically, “Understand? Understand what? Understand why you’d leave your dearest family for true love? Peter, I could not shed that thought from my head in the past three days… That if no one came to save me that day, my life would be completely ruined! If that

    Fia was stunned. “Have your injuries completely healed? You don’t have to be in such a rush to learn the massaging technique. My chest isn’t in any pain lately and I’m doing alright.”“The earlier I master it, the better I’ll feel,” Sally said. Then, her thoughts wandered to her own brother and she couldn’t help but ask, “Fia, there’s something I want to ask of you.”Fia said, “Just say it, Sally.”“Can you ask Conrad for help? Don’t let my brother get married when I’m not around.”“With who?” Fia asked sternly. “Esme?”Sally said in frustration, “Fia, I don’t have proof that she’s Esme. Can you ask Conrad to put in more effort to investigate her? He’s familiar with Esme… He should be able to find something.”Fia remembered how well Conrad treated Esme in the past. Even now she still had suspicions that he still had some feelings for her.If possible, she really didn’t want Conrad and Esme to have any chance to be together alone.However, Sally did too much for her already.

    “The Halls was one of the worst hits. Doctor Sally’s father jumped off a building when he couldn’t handle the stress. However, he didn’t die from it. Instead, his wife and his children had to suffer for it. Peter, who was less than sixteen years old back then, had to bear the responsibility of keeping the family together. He would study and work part-time a lot, and some of them were even…”Silas couldn’t tell him due to the unsavory nature.Conrad frowned and said nothing.Silas then said, “Right, sir. Peter’s record back in university is a little weird.”“How weird?”“Other than attending the classes for his core subjects, he was almost non-existent on campus. And I couldn’t find out what kind of part-time job he worked,” Silas said, still confused.Peter was not even sixteen then and already had to bear his familial duties. Not only did he have to pay for his parents’ living costs, he also had to finance Sally and his own tuition and living expenses.During the period of time

    She was not worthy of him.Right from the start."Wait a moment."She lowered her head to treat the wounds of a mother and son, then stood up with the medical kit and smiled at him."Shall I treat you to a meal?""Sure."She led him through the damp and moldy alley to a shabby restaurant.She ordered two bowls of noodles in the local language, sat down at the old table, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it vigorously.Conrad looked at her. It was obvious that she was different from before.She had gone through hardship, suffering, despair, and then settled down.The noodles were not delicious. There was no oil or salt, and even the soup was bland and tasteless.He looked at her sallow face and said, "Is this what you've been eating the whole year you’ve been here?""This is considered a good meal." Annie did not complain and said that she usually just ate some steamed buns.The conditions here were poor and backward in various ways.Moreover, Lucifer was determined to ma

    Fia stood on the streets, looking at the photos and remembering what Lucifer had once mentioned."When everything is over, how about I take you, Adrian, and Irene on a trip?"The man's blue eyes were like the sea, looking at her deeply.She fell into a daze for a moment back then.After coming back to her senses, she replied without emotion, "You should find a partner and travel around the world, and I should live a good life with my children."The sound of car horns on the road brought Fia back from her thoughts.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds and remembered the beggar boy she met on the bridge when she was a child.If he hadn't been taken away that day, would it have been different if he managed to wait until she and her mother went to find him?The days ahead were still very long, and she was not sure whether she would be able to live peacefully with Conrad in the future.But she would never swallow her anger like she did before.Later, Conrad, a decisive char

    Irene whimpered, turned around, and hugged Adrian. "Adrian, does Daddy not want us anymore?""No, don't talk nonsense! Didn't you hear what Daddy just said?""I heard him, but why do we have to choose? I won't be happy no matter who Mommy marries.""Shut up!" Adrian was a little anxious. If this silly sister of his said in front of everyone that their mommy could marry two men, it would be over!"Why shut up? Why can't we be with Mommy, Daddy, and our biological dad..."Adrian immediately covered her mouth. He knew that this sister of his could not speak normal words!Everyone in the audience also had mixed emotions. Those who originally complained about Lucifer’s actions all became quiet at this moment.With Lucifer’s blessings, Conrad took off the mask.Fia looked at him, tears rolling down her face.How much she had wished to have a wedding back then. She did not expect it to be so many years late.Conrad said with difficulty, "I didn't expect him to do this either."He w

    "Do you really want to stop the wedding?" Lucifer smiled half-heartedly, looking at him like a fool.***"What's going on? Why hasn't the groom come yet?" Everyone couldn't help discussing.Fia stood on the stage and exchanged looks with the emcee.Both of them were a little tired from standing.The emcee asked her awkwardly, "The groom?""He should be coming soon." After Fia finished speaking, the wind blew and revealed her face under the veil. "Just wait."The emcee cursed internally. 'It's really rare to have a wedding with such a beautiful bride kept waiting.'Fia fiddled with the veil on her head to cover her face, making her hazy beauty even more attractive.Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, the music suddenly changed to a more passionate one.The groom appeared.Wearing a black suit with gold threads and a blue rose on his chest, the six-foot-two man wore a golden mask on his face.With just one glance, Fia’s heart suddenly jumped and her body temperature bec

    The two kids could only rush back to find their mother and tell her what happened.Fia did not panic. "You were raised by Daddy. Don't you trust him? He is a man who keeps his promises. He said he is just inviting them to the wedding, so they are just attending the wedding."Even though she was suspicious in her heart, she would not speak ill of him to her two children.This island belonged to Lucifer, and his spies were everywhere.If he was infuriated, no one stood to gain anything from it."But that person was not arranged to sit down. He was taken into the woods," Adrian said anxiously.Fia turned to look at her son. "Are you worried about him?"Adrian could not look directly at her.Irene spoke first. "I'm the one who’s worried. I don't want them to fight.""Oh." Fia reassured them. "It should be fine. Today is a special day. Your daddy will not want to see blood."She thought Lucifer was simply afraid that Conrad would cause trouble, so he brought him to the island to l

    Amused, Lucifer said, "Those people are not under my command.""They gave you all the companies under their names. You said you'd let bygones be bygones, but if you go back on your word, how will your subordinates see you?"Fia’s eyes were a little arrogant.Lucifer’s expression turned cold and he stared at her and said, "How important do you think Hellish Training Camp is to me?""Then give it away!" Fia raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of teasing.Lucifer was speechless for a couple of seconds and explained to her seriously in a rare instance, "Those people have sacrificed a lot since they started following me. I can't ignore them. Except one day when there is a more suitable successor. I will take the initiative to give up my position.""Then you have to lead them well." Fia smiled slyly.Lucifer gritted his teeth with hatred. "Marrying you is equivalent to marrying a housekeeper. From now on, must everything I do have your permission?"Fia said, "Invisible shackles."On

    "I got it.""Thank you, Daddy!" Adrian kissed him twice on the face. "My sister and I will take care of you until you die.""Hahahaha!" Lucifer could not stop laughing. "Okay, I'll wait until you two grow up to see me off."He smiled while carrying Adrian and walked to Fia and Irene.Irene was eating something and said vaguely, "Adrian’s temper is getting worse now, and he lost his temper with me.""Who is angry with you!" Adrian slid off Lucifer. "Who do you think you are, that you can influence me?""Mommy, Adrian is shouting at me!" Irene pouted.Adrian turned his back. "Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore."Lucifer and Fia looked at Irene."Mommy, Daddy, what are you looking at me for?" Irene blinked, looking innocent.Lucifer sat down beside her. "Adrian should love you, but you should also respect him.""Didn't I respect him?" Irene was a little confused.Fia said, "While I'm still here, you just spread rumors that he is angry with you."Irene replied, "But he was

    Eileen returned to the living room."Is she really going to marry Lucifer?" Victor asked nervously.Eileen remained silent.Victor threw the spatula in his hand. "Can't you stop her for a bit?""Why should I stop her? No matter who she marries, she will always be my best friend!" Eileen said angrily. "Whoever wants to stop her should stop her on their own!"Victor saw that she was angry and quickly picked up the spatula. "I'm going to cook."Eileen rolled her eyes at him, sat on the sofa, and scrolled through her phone.Thinking of Adrian and Irene, she could not help but feel a little irritable.What if Fia and Lucifer had a child in the future?For the happiness of the two children, she forwarded the photo sent by Fia to Conrad.After Conrad received the photo, he immediately ordered everyone under him to put down all work and find the location in the photo.Three days later.The wedding on the island was beautifully decorated, dreamy and gorgeous, with Lucifer’s involvem

    Soon, Fia knew what they were doing with just a little of the decoration showing.Decorating the wedding venue.Irene was a little girl who was very happy when she saw balloons and pink ribbons.She ran over and grabbed them, but her brother, Adrian, slapped her little hand."Don't cause trouble!""So beautiful! These uncles and aunts were invited by Daddy. Can't I play with these things?"Adrian pinched her cheek and said, "That's Daddy decorating the wedding scene for Mommy!""What?" Irene immediately retracted her hand and said with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Adrian rubbed her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Don’t simply meddle. It should be beautiful when it's done."Irene nodded, took her brother’s hand and hid under a nearby coconut tree, and spent the whole day doing nothing except cooking and watching them.By evening, the dreamy and beautiful wedding scene was mostly completed.Irene leaned against her brother and asked dully, "Daddy and Momm
