Semua Bab Stop It, She’s Remarrying!: Bab 781 - Bab 790

“Check the surveillance camera!” Finn walked to the door, worried that this could be an inside job.Conrad quickly stood up to stop him. “Director Parker, the manager has already been murdered. Do you think the foreigner will still be useful to us?”Finn did not know what to say to him. If the person behind the scenes could make a spineless coward like that manager to commit suicide, it was clear that these people held psychological leverage on him to the point that he would rather die than talk.If that was true, then letting the foreigner go would serve very little in furthering their investigation.“Very well. The man will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We will give Ms. Sally Hall the closure that she needs.” Finn finally made up his mind.Conrad nodded and left the police station. He was glad that he did not disappoint his Fia this time.“Madam, it’s not advisable to learn martial arts when you’re pregnant.” Sophia, on the other hand, was trying her darndest to

“Go. Leave and return to the Thomases.” Peter pulled his hand away from Esme’s embrace.Esme looked at him pitifully. “Aren’t you sending me there?”“I’ll pay you a visit later,” Peter responded coldly.Esme was so glad to hear this. Still, she maintained her pitiful, puppy face. “Okay. I’ll wait for you. If you don’t come to me, I’ll stay up at night and keep on waiting for you.”Peter nodded and saw her off. Then, he returned to his laboratory and dialed his home’s number.Upon picking the phone, Mrs. Hall spoke into the phone anxiously, “Peter, Sally and Britney went out for lunch. And they’re not back yet! Could Sally have run off with that man?!”Mrs. Hall’s words battered on Peter’s guilty conscience as he recalled the lie he made to confine Sally at home.“Mom, it’s a misunderstanding. Sally has never had a boyfriend before and she’s not pregnant. I’m sorry. I’ve made a mistake.”“Huh?!” Mrs. Hall was confused and furious upon hearing this. “A mistake? How could you make

Set off by trepidation, Sally said to her mother, “I have my reasons to not support their union. You’ve got to trust me on this one, Mom! I will never hurt my brother. But we have to stop them from being together!”Mrs. Hall shook her head in disagreement. “Your brother is about to turn thirty-five this year. If you do that, he might have to live all his life alone. It took him forever to finally decide to be with Britney…”“No, they can’t be together!” Sally said determinedly, “I won’t allow it!”Mrs. Hall was finally angered by Sally’s words. “You’re just his sister, not his parent! It won’t matter even if you don’t accept their union!”“I won’t allow it! I won’t!” Sally took her phone and dialled Peter’s number. It was then she heard his phone ringing from beyond the door. She quickly stepped out of the house. It was then that she saw Peter walking toward her. “Pete, I need to have a word with you!”“Sally, don’t make a scene.” Peter looked at her coldly.“Pete, are you sure

Sally could not hold in her tears anymore. Her tears streamed down her cheeks.She quickly wiped off her tears and said, “They’re our mom and dad, not just mine! They had hoped to see you getting married and having a child. They had always wanted to care for and dot on their grandchild! How can you just up and leave them like this?!”If it were not for that wicked Esme, her good brother would not have lost his mind like this! She was not convinced that Esme would really behave herself. There was no way she would marry Peter and give birth to his child!“Sally, I’ve made the best compromise I could. Why can’t you understand?” Peter said in anguish. He felt that he had no right to face his little sister anymore.Sally said sarcastically, “Understand? Understand what? Understand why you’d leave your dearest family for true love? Peter, I could not shed that thought from my head in the past three days… That if no one came to save me that day, my life would be completely ruined! If that

“The Halls was one of the worst hits. Doctor Sally’s father jumped off a building when he couldn’t handle the stress. However, he didn’t die from it. Instead, his wife and his children had to suffer for it. Peter, who was less than sixteen years old back then, had to bear the responsibility of keeping the family together. He would study and work part-time a lot, and some of them were even…”Silas couldn’t tell him due to the unsavory nature.Conrad frowned and said nothing.Silas then said, “Right, sir. Peter’s record back in university is a little weird.”“How weird?”“Other than attending the classes for his core subjects, he was almost non-existent on campus. And I couldn’t find out what kind of part-time job he worked,” Silas said, still confused.Peter was not even sixteen then and already had to bear his familial duties. Not only did he have to pay for his parents’ living costs, he also had to finance Sally and his own tuition and living expenses.During the period of time
