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
Hurt, Peter rushed to the girl and asked, “Who are you?!”She stopped, still not facing or talking to him. Suppressing her anger, Barbara glared at Peter. “What do you want now? After almost choking my sister to death, you’re going to hurt my friend too?!”“Who is she?” Peter asked again as he stared at the girl. He wanted to take off her cap and mask so badly. He had an urge to see her face.Barbara shielded the girl behind her, intending to protect her from Peter. She had made up her mind. If this jerk dared to come closer, she would break his left arm right there and then!“My friend has no obligation to entertain you, Peter Hall!” Barbara said as she clenched her teeth. Her hatred for this man was so intense that she could hardly hold it in.Suddenly, the girl tapped on Barbara’s hand before taking off her cap. Peter’s irises shrunk and he took a few steps back.“Didn’t you want to see how I look, mister?” the girl said.A deep, long scar could be seen on the girl’s face, sl
Taking a deep breath, Barbara said, “I mean, you know very well he never loved you. Yet, why do you insist on marrying him? Did you use some underhanded means to force him to marry you?”“No… I didn’t…” Esme stuttered as she tried to explain.Barbara continued scolding her sternly, “You shouldn’t have gotten near him! Although he seems like a nice guy, Peter survived and recovered from that incident that happened to the Halls. He’s more than he lets on! If forced to a corner, he would get mad and resort to extreme measures to get what he wants!”Esme stared at Barbara speechlessly. Barbara loved her sister a great deal, did she not? Then why did she not seem bothered when she saw that she was almost choked to death? She even scolded her. Why?“Sigh. Forget it. You’re blinded by love so you won’t listen anyway.” Barbara suppressed her anger and hatred for Peter and Esme, and said to the maid, “Send Britney to the hospital for a checkup.”“Yes, Miss Barbara.” The maid obliged with t
After Sally left the room, Fia silently laughed as she lay on her bed. Every scheme that Esme plotted was all directed at her and her alone. She had enough of all this! But she could not rely on Conrad to deal with her. He had a tendency of being fickle and indecisive when it came to dealing with Esme. So it would be better if she handled this all on her own.When Sally was near her office, Conrad appeared and stopped her in her path. He presented her the medicine that he purchased and asked, “What did you and Fia talk about earlier?”“…” Sally was still deciding if she should tell Conrad. “Was it about your brother?” Conrad asked.Looking at the medicine in his hand, Sally said, “The medicine will help facilitate the healing of Fia’s wound. After we remove the bandages tomorrow, all that’s left is to spray the medicine on her wound.”As he put the medicine into his pocket, Conrad continued probing, “What were you and Fia planning?”“Nothing.” Sally decided to respect Fia’s de
”Nothing’s wrong with me mentally,” the girl said coldly. Staring at the girl, Sally could only see part of her clear, starry iris due to the injury on her eye.“You’re a strong girl. I know another girl who’s as strong as you. In fact, you two are about the same age. She…”“Doctor Sally, I’m not interested in making new friends.”The girl interrupted her with her hoarse voice.Sally was stunned momentarily before continuing on awkwardly, “So which specialist are you looking for? I know a few doctors who are really good at what they do. I can introduce you.”The girl flicked her hair to the back, revealing her burned skin.“I need a doctor who can help me recover my looks.”Sally sympathized with her when she saw her burned skin.“You’ll need a skin transplant.”She tried to not show too much sympathy when saying it, worried that it would trigger the girl.“Yes. I need a skin transplant.”“Do you intend to transplant the skin from some parts of your body or from a voluntee
Sally frowned as she saw the girl leave her office. Somehow, she reminded her of Britney in her youth. “Done talking?” Barbara was waiting in front of Sally’s office. When she saw the girl walk out the door, she went up to her and held her hand.“Yes.”“So, how was it?” “Sally isn’t the way out we need.”Hearing this, Barbara frowned, frustrated. “Then what should we do? We can’t take on that wretched pair by ourselves!”“It’s okay. There’s bound to be other ways.”It was then that Barbara recalled that Fia was hospitalized here as well. So, she led the girl all the way to Fia’s private ward. When they were at the door, Barbara said to the girl, “I’m here to see a friend.”The girl raised her head and stared at the door, thinking about the recent events and the people involved. A flicker of hope flashed in her eyes, “Okay. I’ll wait for you out here.”Glancing at her, Barbara said, “You could come with me and visit her together. They’re good people. Besides…”“No, it’s okay
