“I love you, Conrad. I have adored you so, so much from the first time I saw you. No one has ever given me the same feeling.” Esme carefully pulled Conrad’s sleeve. “Can you feel it?”Conrad looked at the woman in front of him coldly. She wore Britney’s face, saying words that Britney would never say.“The man that Britney Thomas loves is Peter Hall. Who are you?”“I’m the woman that loves you,” Esme said with adoration in her eyes. “The woman that loves only you.”Conrad could feel that the drug inside the room was very strong. He could already feel his blood pumping in a short amount of time. He couldn’t stay here any longer.“Don’t!” Esme grabbed Conrad’s waist. “Just once! Once is enough! I won’t disturb your marriage! I just wish that you’ll remember me when you’re lonely or upset…”She grabbed Conrad’s waist. If she could buy enough time, he could never leave!This was her last and only chance!With his personality, as soon as she slept with him, he wouldn’t ignore her an
His footsteps were slower than usual, and his body’s restlessness was making him feel even more disgusted.It didn’t matter whether this woman in front of him was Esme or not. Her schemes were extremely disgusting!And she was supported by Peter, and there was someone else behind Peter.He had to hold on to this clue!However, he was not prepared to continue with this and use himself as a wager!“Don’t go, Conrad!” Esme decided to give it her all and chased after Conrad. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him.“Get off me!” Conrad almost vomited as he pushed her away. However, he couldn’t use much strength and was lightheaded.“Conrad! You can only be mine… Mine…” Esme said as she cried, holding Conrad tightly without letting go.Suddenly, there was a bang!The two of them looked at the door and saw Fia holding onto the door frame with despair in her eyes.“It’s a misunderstanding! I…” Conrad wanted to throw Esme away and run toward Fia.However, he had lost his s
“How shameless can you get!” Conrad said as he gritted his teeth. Even the way he spoke was without strength.Esme’s hand slowly moved from his chest to his face as she mumbled, “We’re supposed to be together in the first place. Fia’s the third wheel. Without her, we would already be together. We would even have children…“Don’t worry, Conrad. From today onward, no one can separate us anymore. We’ll always be together.”Conrad’s eyes were filled with fury. He wished he could choke the woman to death.Even Kent, who was by the entrance, almost gave up.The woman was too shameless! She was too disgusting!He was just about to help when his phone rang.“Hello? Jase? Did you find Fia? What? No way. She just left. You should be able to get to her even before you reach the neighborhood’s entrance,” Kent said. Suddenly, his expression darkened and he hung up. Then, he rushed over and pulled Esme away.“You have helpers? Fia’s been kidnapped by the people you arranged!”“I didn’t! Let
Peter frowned with confusion in his eyes.He thought that when she woke up, she would be terrified, anxious. That she would scream and cry. However, he didn’t expect her to be this calm, obsessed over Esme’s identity.“She’s not Britney Thomas, is she?” Fia continued asking.Peter looked into her eyes. They were like spring water, clean and unpolluted.He suddenly remembered her own sister, Sally.He somehow realized why his sister would be attracted to the girl in front of him.The two girls had something similar on them… It’s very easy for them to become attracted to one another.However, this was his enemy’s daughter.Not his sister.He couldn’t show her any compassion.“Peter,” Fia called out to him calmly and in a gentle tone. “Have you ever had insomnia for an entire night?”She imitated Marcus’ tone as if talking to someone of the same kind.“It was so quiet, and the temperature was just right. It’s supposed to be easy to fall asleep, but for some reason, I just coul
Fia frowned. She felt that things were getting out of hand as she looked at Peter falling into madness.She acknowledged Marcus’ treatment and wanted to imitate him to try and stop Peter.But Peter’s mental injury was too deep, and he had suppressed emotions for far too long.“You want to buy time!” Peter glared at Fia like a demon looking at its prey. “Damn, you! You’re just like Esme! Both of you should just die!“Once I kill you, Conall will be overwhelmed with pain! Then, the Parker Group will go bankrupt! Next will be Esme. I’ll make her lose what she had just regained! That’s the best kind of revenge for her!”Fia had just opened her mouth to say something, but Peter grabbed her by the neck and she couldn’t say a word.The asphyxiation could kill her at any time…She could hear her bones cracking. She wasn’t sure how she should feel. She still hadn’t discovered if that woman was Esme.She still hadn’t cut herself off from Conrad. He said that he would stay with her foreve
Sally looked at her in a daze, feeling incomparable heartache.“Fia, I’m sorry. I will treat you better in the future. I…”“Just leave.” Fia felt extremely tortured.She could understand Sally’s feelings, and could understand Sally asking for mercy on her brother’s behalf.But, what did she do wrong?Just consider this a compensation for Sally’s grace toward her all this time.“Then I’ll leave first. Jason, take care of Fia properly.” Sally looked at Jason with nostalgia.She knew that from today onward, she no longer had the qualification to like this man.She had revealed her despicableness before him. He was such a noble and unsullied person. He would not be able to tolerate her.“Alright.” Jason agreed faintly and hugged Fia tightly.Sally was hesitant and unsure. After she left the room, she ran all the way down the stairs.She quietly said in her heart, 'Goodbye, Jason. I’m sorry, Fia. I will definitely help you to clear things up!'Fia pushed Jason away and stood up,
Conrad gritted his teeth. “She actually dared to say that?!”“Yes!” Silas scolded. “I have never seen such a shameless woman! Now that Director Parker and the media are all here, she is kicking up a fuss about wanting to live or die, giving everyone a headache. Things are about to spiral out of control. Sir, it’s still better for you to go over first.”Conrad looked in the direction where Jason’s car disappeared to and turned the steering wheel in frustration, going to the police station to solve the problem first.Although he hated Jason, he was also sure that when Jason was around, he would not let anything happen to Fia.“Mr. Maxwell, what exactly happened between you and Miss Thomas?”“Does your wife, Fia, know about you and Miss Thomas?”“Previously, you were in an ambiguous relationship with Miss Manning and your wife had just forgiven you. Now you are doing these kinds of things with Miss Thomas. Is your wife able to stand it?”“Are you and your wife in a superficial rela
“Esme Manning? She’s Esme Manning?”“That’s impossible, right? Esme was sentenced to life imprisonment and she fell into River Fane in an accident. Even her corpse was fished out.”“Then why did he call her ‘Esme’?”“There can’t be some huge scheme behind it all, can it?”“Could it be that Esme tried to escape her punishment by absconding?”“If she isn’t dead, then whose body was it?”“Oh my god! She couldn’t have found a scapegoat, could she?”“Who did it? Could it be that Mr. Maxwell found it hard to forget his previous feelings and helped her escape her punishment?”Magical guesses started to appear and everyone started to pity Conrad’s original partner, Fia.It was precisely this effect that Conrad wanted.He could give up on his reputation, but he had to care about Fia.Esme had pushed things to such an extent and had an unpredictable intent. He could not let her get her way!“Didn’t you want to die?” He looked at the woman on the third floor coldly. “Jump. I’ll help c
