“Sir, who gave you this?” Silas said agitatedly. “With this, we can catch Peter Hall off guard!” Conrad replied, “The fake Britney.”“Huh?” Silas said in confusion. “If she is Ms. Manning, then he has done so much to protect her. Why would she repay his kindness like this?!”“She must have found someone more powerful to back her.”“So she wants to burn the bridge after crossing it? Peter should also have a handle over her. Isn’t she afraid of burning herself, playing with fire?”“Since she dared to give this thing to us, she should have already made proper arrangements.” Conrad pushed aside the information Silas offered. “Keep these things well.”Silas had a face of confusion. “You don’t plan to pass it to Director Parker?”“She wants to use our hands to kill Peter.” Conrad’s expression was cold and his gaze sharp. “Dream on!”“However, Peter has beef with the Parkers. It will be disadvantageous to Madam,” Silas said worriedly. “Are we going to just allow Peter to continue his
Silas did not wish to reply to questions regarding these two people.“Sir didn’t get us to watch them. I’m busy with company affairs.”Fia nodded. “There have been a lot of things lately and a lot of company-related stuff have fallen on you. You must be very tired, aren’t you?”Silas sized her up oddly. “Madam, what’s wrong with you?”He felt that she was acting weird.“I am your boss’s wife. Is it wrong to be a little concerned about you?”Silas shook his head. “It’s not wrong. I am very grateful. However, in the past, you would never ask all these.”He subconsciously looked at the document bag on the counter and quickly picked it up and placed it under his underarms.He had a feeling that Fia was trying to dig information from him.“Madam, I still have other work to do, so I’ll make a move first.” After he finished speaking, Silas quickly went out. It wasn’t that he wanted to leave. He was afraid of being around Fia.When Conrad got Sally and returned to the ward together,
“Why don’t we do this? After work, I’ll go buy it for you. When I’ve gotten it, I’ll bring it over and accompany you.” Sally saw that the atmosphere between the two wasn’t quite right and immediately became the peacemaker.Fia kicked away the opportunity Sally provided to ease the situation as she looked at Conrad and said coolly, “Who said that he’ll take good care of me and the children I’m carrying? Now, he’s unable to even fulfill my request for some food.”Conrad couldn’t be bothered with the discomfort he was feeling within and said, “I’ll get Mrs. Taylor to make it for you. When Sally gets off work and comes to accompany you, I’ll go back and get it.”Fia replied, “Alright! Bring more. I will eat with Sally.”After she finished speaking, she didn’t look at him anymore.Conrad felt that he was like a tool as he listened to Fia talking to Sally while she held her.They talked about good food and drinks, things he was totally unable to interject in.After talking to Fia for
It was as if Peter getting married and becoming part of the Thomases had nothing to do with them!She and her husband were now worried that if her son married the Thomas girl, if his heart was entirely focused on the Thomases, and ignored them husband and wife, then they’d be done for!“Sally, to be honest, I am a little repulsed by Britney’s parents. Her parents originally had quite a good relationship with us, but after misfortune befell our family, they always avoided us, fearing that we would borrow money from them.”Sally was still young when it happened and never noticed these matters between the adults.She said, “That’s how people are like. They are afraid their poor relatives will borrow money and afraid that if something happens to their friends, they’d be implicated as well.”“You are so young. Why do you speak like a monk!” Mrs. Hall said. “That old husband-and-wife duo of the Thomases aren’t that simple. There is something you don’t know! Your father was in the hospit
Fia looked at Sally a little pitifully, thinking of the sibling love she had with Peter that she had told her about.However, the situation now would let Sally see how dirty and vicious the brother she worshiped was!“Sally, personally, I don’t want to harm you and your family.”However, now, for the sake of revealing Esme’s true colors sooner, and getting everything to stop, she had no other choice.She could not let Esme, this hidden danger, continue to harm her.She needed to think of the two children in her womb.“Fia…” Sally looked at Fia’s gaze that was becoming more and more desolate, and felt nervous and fearful.She kept feeling like something bad was about to happen.“Didn’t you say that you wanted to teach me a massage?” Fia changed the topic.“Alright, let me teach you.” Sally looked at her left shoulder. “Don’t simply move your left hand about. I’m worried that you will tug at the wound and cause pain. Just use your right hand to learn from me.”“Alright.” Fia ha
After he mentioned about divorcing her and hurting her together with Esme in the process, she was really unable to have an innocent and pure heart like she did in the past.“Conrad, don’t you feel that you are very fake?” she said sarcastically. “If you were really sincere, you would not even need to ask my opinion. You should have long given me what other girls all have. Not do all these now that there are all kinds of problems between us and do it for the sake of making it up to me or for the sake of erasing the guilt you feel.”Conrad felt terrible, but did not know how to solve the problem at hand.“Fia, then tell me, what should I do, alright? I don’t have experience in this aspect.”“There is no need to do anything anymore,” Fia said faintly.If he really wanted to do something, really loved her, cherished her, he would naturally know what to do.She couldn’t even be bothered to tell him about things he didn’t know.“I hope for peace in the future. Just deal with your lous
“It’s been so many years. Neither I nor our parents knew! Those people outside don’t know either!” Sally’s emotions collapsed as she cried and shouted, “You have always acted so kind and so great in front of us! We had never suspected you!”Her lips trembled and her voice was hoarse. “But…But, why is it like this?”“Impossible!” Peter shook his head. His footsteps faltered and he landed heavily on the chair. “It’s impossible for her to send these to you!”“How long do you want to lie to yourself?!” Sally rushed forward to grab him by the shoulders and shook them. “She first slandered Conrad, saying that he wanted to sexually assault her! Now she’s told your matters to other people. It’s clear that she wants to completely turn against you! She already no longer needs you, her backing. She wants to ruin you!”“Impossible!” Peter forcefully pushed Sally away. His hand that had just been fixed hurt so much that it made his forehead covered in sweat.“Isn’t she afraid of me ruining her
”She’s in her room upstairs.”The maid did not stop him from going upstairs. She did not suspect anything since it was known that Mr. and Mrs. Hall approved of Peter and Britney’s union in marriage. They were even discussing the exact date for their wedding! So, to the maid, Peter’s anxiousness was actually his eagerness to meet his fiance.Peter hurried upstairs and knocked on Britney’s door. When the door opened, Esme asked in a daze, seemingly surprised to see him here, “Oh, Peter? Why’re you here?”“Heh!” Peter smirked before pushing her back into the room, choking her with a hand.Shocked and dejected, Esme tried to fight back and break free. However, Peter was too strong. In less than a minute, he had pushed her into the bathroom and pressed her head onto the sink.“You b*tch! Why did you send those to my sister?!”“What… What do you mean?” Esme asked as she struggled to break free from Peter’s grasp.Peter turned the tap and began drenching her head. “I didn’t tell you al
