Jason frowned. “Why would there be pictures of Fia on her computer?”Kent bit his lips. “More than one, too.”“Can you tell me everything in one go? Don’t make me keep asking you!” Jason said as his temper flared up.“Look at how you’re acting right now! You look like your older brother from another mother!” Kent said. But when he saw how Jason’s expression darkened even more and even curled his fingers into fists, he quickly continued saying, “She even photoshopped her photos, making her face bloodied or completely shredded apart.”Jason’s expression got darker.Kent said, “Why are you staring at me like that? It wasn’t me that did that.”“Did you copy the photos?” Jason asked.“What’s the point of copying them? They can’t prove that she’s Esme. At most, it’ll only prove that she’s hostile toward Fia. The cops didn’t catch her doing anything that would harm Fia, so what can you do?” Kent said as he rolled her eyes. “I also restored the things that she deleted. There’s nothing t
Kent let out a radiant smile and said, “Leave it to me! I’ll go to Maxwell Corporation and meet up with Conrad.”“Alright.” Jason lowered his eyes, looking somewhat vulnerable.Kent sighed and stood up, patting his shoulder, and gave his phone back to him. “Listen to me. Letting her go is the best blessing for her.”Jason gulped as a storm brewed in his heart, but he had to give Kent a smile.… Conrad increased his pace, seeing that it was almost time to leave work. He wanted to take Fia home on time.Silas knocked on the door. “Sir, Mr. Gilbert wants to see you.”“Kent Gilbert?”“Yes.”Conrad glanced at Fia and said, “Have him wait for half an hour.”He needed to finish work as soon as possible.“No, have him come in first.” Fia glared at Conrad and said, “He saved Sally that day, so he is a friend of mine too. You’ve got the nerve asking him to wait!”Conrad nodded at Silas weakly. “Let him in.”Silas quickly went out.Conrad was planning to stop with his work only to
Kent helplessly said, “I told you. It’s not good for your pregnancy.”Fia raised a finger. “Just one glance, alright? One.”“No!” Conrad said as he stood up.Fia shut her mouth as she looked at Kent, upset.Kent said with a smile, “Both Mr. Maxwell and I are doing this for your own good.”Conrad walked over and sat down next to Fia. “What else did you notice?”Kent said, “Nothing much. However, I did some investigation on my side. Britney’s your typical science student and has had no interest in music since she was little, so her computer shouldn’t have that many piano music sheets. Meanwhile, I do know something about Esme. She was quite famous overseas as a pianist.”He stopped there and didn’t want to add any more of his analysis.“You’re a smart man, Mr. Maxwell. The reason that I came here to tell you what my investigation yielded is so that you’ll be careful with that woman and take good care of your wife.”Conrad nodded with a solemn expression on his face.“I understa
Conrad was left behind. He took deep breaths to keep his anger in check.Meanwhile, Fia was standing next to the office door and she had heard and seen everything that she needed to.“Are you standing guard there?” she yelled.When Conrad heard her voice, he gave his face a massage and changed his expression to a softer one before turning around and walking toward her.“Wait for me, Fia. I’ll finish up the last bit of my work and we can go home.”He led her into his office.Fia looked at him, thinking that he had disguised his emotions well, and he pulled her down to sit with him.She flipped her hair and put her legs on his thighs, throwing her arms around her neck. “Let the innocent go.” Conrad remained silent as the light in his amber eyes dimmed.Fia felt annoyed and she bit him on his neck.“He already told you everything so clearly, and you’re still suspecting me and Evans? I’ve explained to you about the designs too. I…” Before she could even finish, he was already bl
“Fia?” Conrad massaged Fia’s waist, pulling back her attention.Fia looked at Conrad carefully and whispered, “You said you want to see me be obsessive with you right now, but it’s just your chauvinism in your head telling you that you need me to be maddeningly obsessive so that it can prove that your existence can affect others. So that without you, all I feel will be suffering.”Conrad felt a little awkward. He didn’t mean that, did he?“Are you trying to say that’s not what you mean?” Fia said with a smile, and she put her right index finger on her brow before rubbing it all the way to the side. “It doesn’t matter what you mean… I won’t become obsessed with you. I will be brave… I will be independent!”Despite saying that, she felt conflicted inside her heart!The moment that she thought that he would interact with Esme, her heart would waver, and her mood would be ruined.And here she thought she wasn’t obsessed with him.Must she open her mouth and say, “I love you”? To sto
“You can focus on your work now, so don’t get distracted by her again!” Kent felt that he did a great job.“Thanks,” Jason thanked him and hung up. He had just taken over Argonauts Corp, and some of the old rules had to be changed. So, he did have a lot of work to do.With Conrad’s ability, as long as he wanted to protect Fia, he could easily do that.He forced himself not to find out about Fia for the time being so he could focus on his work.Once Kent got into his car, he remembered a certain someone and made another call.“Hello? Mr. Gilbert?” Sally had just got back to her rented room from the doctor’s clinic, her voice full of fatigue.“What is it? You sound tired. Is learning massage exhausting?” Kent asked thoughtfully.“I’ll be lying if I said it’s not tiring. Luckily, I’m a doctor myself, so I’m not as tired as the newbies,” Sally said with a smile. “Why did you call?”“I just left Maxwell Corporation. I thought about you, so I gave you a call.” Kent tried his best to
Kent drove his car into the neighborhood and then took the elevator to his studio on the top floor.The elevator opened and he played with his car key as he walked to the door to his studio. He suddenly stared at the position of his keyhole.The keyhole was the shape of a cross. It was fifteen degrees away from its original position when he left this morning.The first thought that came to his mind was that a thief had entered his home.He was about to take his phone out from his pants when the door to his studio suddenly opened and he instinctively stepped back.However, the person threw a rope toward him like a lasso, and it accurately went around his neck, and the person pulled him into his studio.“Darn it!” Kent cursed, but everything was too fast, and his enemy was too good.The person dragged him into the studio. Kent hadn’t gotten accustomed to the darkness and couldn’t see anything.The person grabbed his hair and forced him to look up, and a processed voice rang. “Giv
Kent said, “I’m telling you, sometimes you cannot simply believe what you see. If it were not for my intuition of danger, the one lying on the ground and struggling for air would be me. By the time the police arrive, I’m afraid that my body will have already turned cold!”The police nodded repeatedly. “We apologize for our attitude just now. We’ll have to trouble you to follow us back to the station to take your testimony.”“Sure, but can I bring my computer along?” Kent said.The police nodded. “Of course.”But even in the police car, Kent was not idle. His hands flitted across the keypad, working hard to investigate Peter.The police looked at him and felt that their first impression of him was really a mistake.This rich heir was really hardworking! He was not even willing to let a single minute or second go to waste.“Mr. Gilbert, with the footage on hand, he will not be able to escape punishment for his crime. Just go back home without worry.” Officer Wilfred Thomas sent Ke
