Chapter 55


    Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Ster Strands Chapter 55


    Eileen immediately removed her mask.


    Esme was stunned. She didn’t expect that Eileen would do something like that for Fia.


    Meanwhile, the saleswoman next to her immediately changed her tune. “Oh, it’s you, Ms. Reid. You


    haven’t visited us for a long time.”


    Esme gritted her teeth and said, “How can a celebrity like you fuss about something like this with me?”

    “I’m a celebrity, yes. However, I’m also human!” Eileen said as she had her hands around Fia and clung


    to her tightly. “Look at how you’re treating my best friend. If I don’t do something, you’re just going to


    continue pestering her, aren’t you?”


    Esme scanned her surroundings. All the salespeople on the floor were approaching them, attracted by


    Eileen’s poprity.


    Some of them were Eileen’s fans, and she was instantly at the disadvantage


    However, she panicked only for a moment before straightening her back and tightening her grip around


    the arms of the wheelchair.


    “I’m not here alone, Fia. Are you sure you’re going to treat me like this?”


    Fia looked directly into Esme’s threatening eyes. She let go of Eileen’s hands that were holding her and


    approached Esme.


    She couldn’t continue to be a coward and hide under her mom’s, her grandma’s, and Eileen’s wings.


    She needed to learn how to fight back.


    “Fia, we grew up together.”


    Esme let out an arrogant smile. She was sure that she would apologize to her because Conrad was


    here with her in the mall!


    “I don’t care what kind of rtionship you had before this, but I’m his wife. And you… You’re just a


    homewrecker now,” Fia said in a calm tone. Then her eyesnded on Esme’s left wrist. There was a


    bracelet made of tourmaline crystals.


    Esme realized what she was looking at and scowled.


    What happened next was beyond everyone’s expectations. Fia immediately grabbed her hand and took


    away the bracelet.


    “What are you doing?!” Esme screamed.


    Fia held on to the bracelet tightly as she looked at Esme with indignant eyes.


    “Cousin… You love pieces of jewelry that are expensive. How hard was it for you to lower your own


    standards just so you can steal things that were meant for me?”


    They grew up together, after all. So, she had some understanding of Esme, too.


    Esme frowned and said, “I don’t know what you mean by that. We’re all girls here and we all like


    jewelry. Sometimes, the ones that we like are expensive. Sometimes, the ones that we like are cheap.”


    “Calctive tart!” Eileen let out two words from her mouth.


    Fia then said, “Are you saying that you didn’t steal things from me?”


    Esme smiled and said, “Of course. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Conrad about it.”


    When the salespeople heard his name, the expression on their faces froze.


    Eileen Reid was at most a celebrity, but Conrad Maxwell was their employer!


    “Conrad! Over here!” Esme cried out to Conrad, who was at the entrance of the shop.


    Conrad stood there for a few seconds, feeling somewhat guilty.


    Fia had her back against the entrance. She didn’t see Conrad walking toward them, but she knew it


    was him from just the sound of his footsteps.


    Her husband… The person who was supposed to apany her to the hospital was shopping in a


    mall, together with another woman.


    “Where did you go, Conrad? I waited for you for a long time.” Esme took the initiative and grabbed


    Conrad’s arm and pulled him to her side.


    Fia blinked and looked at the two. One was standing, and the other was sitting.


    However, he didn’t seem to show any signs of wanting to pull his hand away from her.


    “What’s happening here?” Conrad looked at Fia with his dark eyes as he tried to maintain his usual


    calm.


    Fia showed the tourmaline bracelet in her opened palm.


    “Now, allow me to ask you something in front of all these people here. Is this bracelet the wedding


    anniversary gift you bought for me?”


    Conrad was just about to say something when Esme shook his arm and said, “But Conrad, I really love


    this bracelet.”


    “The ruby ne suits your skin color, and it’s worth more, too.” Conrad didn’t want to get dragged


    into their fight, so he gave a muddled response.
