Some people in the crowd started to discuss.“How did these ladies go to the washroom and end up all locked in?”“Did the doors agree to get spoiled at the same time?”“Did the girls in the washroom all arrange to faint at the same time?”Fia rubbed her chest and held Sophia’s hand tightly.“Sophia, I find it hard to catch my breath.”The moment she spoke, her body tilted and she fell unconscious.“Madam!” Sophia hugged her and Conrad picked up the phone on the other side at the same time. She immediately said, “Sir, something happened to Madam!”***Eileen got Lyn to go to the waiting area to call Fia and get her to come over, planning to go to her once she got out of the washroom.Sapphire appeared out of nowhere and suddenly sat by her side, leaning close and saying softly, “I advise you to listen to me.”Eileen frowned. “Mrs. Maxwell and I…”Before she could finish her sentence, Sapphire gave her her phone.Eileen had been ready to make a call but she stopped as she st
“We’ll talk about it later!” Conrad took Fia from her hands and said coldly, “Start from the beginning.”Sophia told him everything about Fia going to the washroom.Conrad said to Tiger, “Get people to survey the scene!”Tiger replied, “Okay!”At this moment, a few police cars came roaring over.Conrad frowned. “Sophia, stay with Tiger and watch them. Don’t let those fellows ruin the scene!”Sophia was stunned and thought, wasn't her boss being a little too suspicious? He was even suspecting the police.However, when she stood in his position to think, she could understand.***“Jason, think carefully of the person who hit you that day. Was he really like Conrad?”Finn sat opposite Jason, asking extremely seriously.Jason avoided his gaze and said faintly, “You’ve asked me many times already.”Finn said, “Your words have a great influence in determining things toward this case and toward Conrad. Furthermore, if we find out that the words you said were not true, it will affe
After some time, Jason pinched the center of his brows and said, “Director Parker, I need to reenact the scene.”Finn looked at the seven suspects. “Did you not find anything?”“My mind is in too much of a mess. Everyone looks alike, but none of them look like the culprit either,” Jason said helplessly.Finn was silent for a couple of seconds. “Alright, then let’s reenact the scene.”***“Impossible!” Conrad’s face was dark. “Sophia said that she was at the scene but she did not smell any scents back then!”Sophia nodded by the side and said to the doctor, “I really didn’t smell anything and neither did my Madam. She didn’t tell me either.”A group of doctors and the hospital director looked at each other.The hospital director said, “Mr. Maxwell, we have asked a few of the patients that have awakened. All of them also said that they did not smell anything. However, there is a possibility that some poisonous gasses underwent some changes in the waterworks, and I don’t why, but
Eileen opened her eyes and looked around.She was tied to a chair. In front of her was a table, and on the table was a cup of coffee that had gone cold.Sapphire sat opposite her, swirling a glass of champagne.Eileen said, “Mrs. Maxwell, is this how you treat me to a cup of coffee?”“Haha, is there any difference?” Sapphire took a sip of the champagne and after she put down the glass, she pushed at the cup of cold coffee.“Miss Reid, please drink some coffee.”Eileen stared at Sapphire coldly. “I don’t have any grievances with you. Is there any meaning for you to treat me like this for the sake of a man?”“How can it be meaningless?” Sapphire giggled. “You’re not me, so you cannot understand what I feel. Every time I am rejected by Victor, I hate that he once had you!”A thread of inconceivability flashed in Eileen’s eyes. She did not at all believe that Victor would reject Sapphire.Although Sapphire was not a great beauty, she was still quite beautiful. Her skin and figure
Eileen’s entire body froze. “What did you say?”Sapphire replied, “Hahaha, you still don’t know, do you? Esme is not dead at all. She got a different face and different identity and returned. At any moment, she can kill Fia!”Eileen’s face was drained of blood. “You’re lying!”“Don’t you know? Fia really cares for you, so fearful that you’ll worry along with her, and decided to keep it from you.” Sapphire cackled like a madman. “She is truly nice to you!”Eileen was speechless and tried her best to keep calm. “She is now pregnant with twins. Conrad will protect her.”“Really? Then why did she not dare to tell Conrad the first time she got pregnant? Even if words were spoken, what could it change? In the end, didn’t the child die in her womb? Hahaha!”“Shut up!” Eileen’s expression turned malicious, not daring to think how Fia would end up if she lost her children again.“Give me your face and I shall help you take care of Fia. No matter what, she is the wife of my cousin. I will
“What agreement?” Sapphire held the syringe, looking at her cold and eerily.Eileen replied, “I guarantee that I will not step into your marriage with Victor. If I go against my word, I am willing to give all the property under my name to you!”“Haha, everything you have, Victor has too. He will compensate you for whatever you lose.” Sapphire pressed down on the syringe and said, “Don’t struggle. Listen to me obediently.”Eileen stared at the needle that was approaching and her heart was anxious but she appeared calm on the surface as she said, “Sapphire, if you really do this, you won’t be the you of the past anymore! Think of your parents, the people you care about the most.”“No matter who I become, I will treat them well!” Sapphire held the syringe with one hand, while the other hand grabbed Eileen’s hair to draw her closer. Seeing the syringe right before her, Eileen planned to carry the chair along to pounce at Sapphire.A loud bang resounded! A group of people came rushing
“I’m not crazy! Victor, don’t try to put the crime of insanity on me!” Sapphire shouted heartbreakingly.The veins on Victor’s throbbed. “Alright. You aren’t insane, are you?”He looked at Sapphire coldly and instructed his subordinates. “Send her to the police station!”Sapphire was stunned. “…Are you really not going to take into account our husband-and-wife relationship at all?”Victor replied, “Just wait for my lawyer to send the divorce papers!”“I don’t want to divorce. I won’t divorce you even if I die!” Sapphire shrieked. Her plan failed. If she could not be his wife, then she could no longer be near him!“It’s not for you to decide!” Victor’s face was heartless, absolutely done with the torture this marriage brought.“Eileen, let’s go.” Fia lightly tugged at Eileen who was in a daze.Eileen retracted her gaze. “Alright, let’s go.”No matter how Victor and Sapphire were in the future, it had nothing to do with her.In the past, she felt that Sapphire was innocent and
”What’s wrong with him?” Eileen asked.“Someone was causing a ruckus in the northern suburbs. He was at the scene and got hurt.”“…”Eileen bit her lips before asking, “Is he badly injured?”Hearing this, Fia hesitated, not knowing if she should tell her the truth. It was quite clear now that Eileen was Conrad’s half-sister. This would also mean that she and Victor were first cousins.In short, they should not get romantically involved ever again.Sophia drove slower and said cautiously, “To be frank, he had it coming. Tiger told me that the northern suburbs rightfully belonged to Sir. He was generous and yielded the land to him. Heh, his cousin should have stopped thinking about robbing others’ lands.”Sophia had heard a lot of stories about Victor in the past few days from Tiger. The more she learned about him, the more she felt this man deserved what he got! He was an ambitious man but, deep down, he was just a talentless worm. If it were not for Conrad and the other members
