Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Ster Strands Chapter 155
Conrad asked again, “Where is she?”
Esme whispered, “She’s resting on the bed. You should be able to see her if youe inside.”
Conrad followed, and the fragrance became even stronger.
He sensed something was wrong and turned around.
Esme cried out his name and pounced on him. She then held him tightly and said, “Conrad… Conrad!
Please don’t give up on me!”
“Esme, please have some self–respect!”
“Aren’t you worried about me at all? I was almost destroyed by your cousin’s people! And even now I
would recall what happened to me that night as soon as I close my eyes! I’m scared! I’m afraid to even
step out and see other people! I’m afraid that others will attack me!
“Conrad, when I went to the hospital and checked, the doctor said that I’m mentally unhealthy. I don’t
want to go crazy! Please help me.”
Conrad remembered Fia. Jason said that she has mild depression.
Compared to Esme, she’s in a much better condition.
“If you’re sick, Esme. Tell your family to bring you to the hospital for treatment.”
“I did. The doctor said I’m too insecure. I need someone who can make me safe to apany me!
Conrad, you’re that person! You can’t just leave me!”
Conrad held Esme’s shoulders and wanted to push her away.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed in and there was a stream of clicking sounds.
“Seriously? Mr. Maxwell and Ms. Manning?!”
All the reporters were shocked.
Esme was so shocked that she held onto Conrad even tighter.
“Don’t me Conrad! It’s all me! I seduced him! This has nothing to do with Conrad!”
“What are you talking about, Esme?”
Conrad could feel his body bing hotter.
That scent was working.
Meanwhile, Fia and Eileen were sitting on the floor as they slurped a bowl of instant ramen each.
Eileen smiled and said, “You’re pregnant. You can’t eat too much of this junk food.”
Fia showed her one finger and said with a smile, “Just this one time.”
Eileen grabbed the television controller and switched the television on.
“I went to an award ceremony a few days ago. They’re going to show it today. I’ll switch the channel.”
“Sure,” Fia said as she slurped more noodles, her eyes fixed on the television.
Eileen was switching channels when it stopped at the local entertainment channel. There was arge
group of people and they saw Conrad among them.
“? Why is your husband on the news?”
Fia frowned.
The reporter on the television continued with the report. “We never thought that we’d manage to get
something this huge during Mr. Manning’s birthday party today. The youngest and most talented
businessman in Gryphon, Mr. Maxwell, and the daughter of Mr. Manning are lovers.”
The grip on the spoon that Fia was holding tightened. She knew the background in one look.
“That’s my cousin’s room.”
Eileen cursed. “That can’t be, right? How can the two of them do it so openly?”
“They went straight to the bedroom as soon as I left the Manning household, huh?”
Fia smiled forlornly. “Before I left, I remember seeing those reporters. They said they were invited there
by my uncle to report on his birthday party to build up some reputation for the Manning household.”

Eileen asked, “Why did they take pictures of your husband and her instead?!”
“I don’t know. Knocked on the wrong door? Maybe… This is a trap by the Mannings?”
“Fia…” Eileen held Fia’s hand. “You said it yourself. This is a trap. Don’t imagine things, okay?”
Fia smiled.
“A trap… Requires the target to act as they nned.”
“Fia, didn’t you say that you and Conrad were doing quite welltely?”
Fia lowered her head and pushed away Eileen’s hand, continuing to eat another mouthful of noodles.
She then said, “He’s fine when he’s not meeting her. But the moment he sees her, he can’t stop it
anymore.
“To think that I actually believed that he was innocent. That nothing happened between them.”
“Fia… From the looks of it, it’s like they haven’t met for a long time. They have only been separated for
a week and they don’t even care about where they are anymore. Despite knowing that there are going
to be a lot of people today, they still do it anyway.”
Chapter 156
She shook her head with a bitter smile.
Thest week had been like a dream.
And she had now woken up from her slumber.
What was she supposed to do next?
“Fia, let’s wait for his exnation, alright?” Eileen looked at Fia’s belly. “For the baby.”
“Let’s eat. It won’t be delicious anymore if it’s cold.”
What happened between Conrad and Esme had a deep effect. Since it was revealed on local media, it
was not something that could be removed by just using money or through the work of a PR team.
Evening. Eileen sent Fia home.
There was a throng of reporters outside Conrad’s mansion.
The driver stopped. “There are too many reporters. We can’t get in.”
“Let me down here then,” Fia said calmly.
Eileen held her hand and said, “No. With so many reporters here, they will chase after you and ask you
about them. What if they hurt the baby in your womb?”
Fia frowned and said nothing.
Eileen held her hand even tighter. “We’re best friends. Don’t be a stranger.”
With that, she said to the driver, “Drive the car in.”
“Sure.”
The driver kept on honking but the reporters didn’t budge and simply watched.
The driver was getting angry and he rolled down the window.
“Can you please move? Do all of you have a death wish or something?!”
With that, he stepped on the gas, and that managed to scare a few of the reporters that were in front of
his car away.
Suddenly, one of them with good eyes shouted, “It’s Eileen Reid!”
“Eileen Reid? What’s going on? Why is she here at Mr. Maxwell’s ce?”
“Don’t tell me that Mr. Maxwell has plenty of lovers outside despite having a wife at home?”
“First, it’s Hugh Manning’s daughter. Then, it’s the current hottest celebrity. Mr. Maxwell is really
enjoying his life!”
“Quick! That van belongs to Eileen! Hurry up and take a picture!”
Eileen frowned. “I’m so sorry, Fia. Those people are crazy!”
“You don’t need to apologize to me.”
Fia rolled down the window and told the driver to slow down.
Then, she said to those reporters. “It’s a mistake. Eileen’s my best friend and she’s sending me home.”
“Whoa, it was just a mistake!”
“Oh, it really is just a mistake. Another story is gone.”
Whenparing cheating and love between two friends, it was obvious that the paparazzi were not
interested in thetter. They didn’t even want to waste time taking pictures.
As the car drove into the mansion, some reporters wanted to use this chance to barge into the
mansion. However, Mrs. Taylor and Ss were already prepared, and this stopped them from getting
any closer.
Some of them treated their lives with so little value that they wanted to simply push their way in. They
were almost crushed between the gates.
Ss red at them and said, “Whoever enters without permission will be sued for uwful entry!” The
group of reporters could only interview them through the gates.
“What’s the rtionship between Ms. Manning and Mr. Maxwell?”
“Does he really like Ms. Manning or is he just toying with her?”
Ss didn’t even want to answer them and simply called the bodyguards.
A group of men in ck came and drove them away.
“Madam, Master Maxwell is upstairs,” Mrs. Taylor said uneasily. “He told me to ask you to see him
upstairs as soon as you’re back.”
Fia nodded and looked at Eileen.
“Maybe you should go home first.”
Eileen refused out of worry for her. “Go up and hear what he has to say. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
Fia was moved. “Alright. Wait for me.”
After telling Mrs. Taylor to take good care of Eileen, she went upstairs with an uneasy heart.
