    Chapter 283


    “Ah… Conrad, how can you treat me like this?!”


    There was no warmth in Conrad’s gaze at her. It was as if he was looking at a rock.


    “Ms. Reid said that you pretended to be hurt while you paid someone to rape Fia. Is there anything you


    want to tell me?”


    Esme crawled toward Conrad on her knees and grabbed his pants as she looked at him. “No! I swear


    on my family’s lives that I didn’t do it! I swear, if I’ve ever hurt Fia, the gods can punish my family!”


    Conradughed as he looked at her.


    “Why didn’t I realize how shameless you are?”


    He was questioning her but she made a vow using her own family? That was not the Esme Manning


    that


    he knew.


    “Esme.” He called out her name coolly. The warmth in the past no longer existed.


    “I will investigate this, and you better pray that it has nothing to do with you.”


    Conrad kicked Esme away after saying that and patted his pants before getting back into his car.


    Esme could only sit on the ground as she felt her heart be ice–cold.


    She had finally managed to get him engaged with her.


    How did he be like this?


    Just because Fia was in an ident? She had suffered so much pain, but it was not enough to


    compare


    to Fia’s ident?


    After the car left, the driver calmed down a bit.


    “Ms. Manning, what should I do now?”

    Esme red at him with vicious eyes. “What do you mean ‘what now? Even if he wants your life, you


    have to say that the truck lost control.”


    “But they said that they’re going to investigate this. Will they find anything?”


    Esme grabbed the driver by the cor and said, “All you need to do right now is to say that it was all an


    ident! Then, they won’t be able to find out our deal. Let me tell you something. Even if you admit to


    this he won’t let you or your family live!”


    The driver suddenly began to feel regretful about taking the deal. However, after everything had


    happened, he finally saw how terrifying Conrad could be. He had no choice but to go all the way.


    His sickly son still needed the Mannings‘ help in order to continue his treatment!


    Next morning.


    Jason and a few doctors entered Fia’s ICU ward.


    Eileen wanted to see what would happen next through the ss, but a doctor immediately pulled the


    screen. She couldn’t see anything anymore.


    At this time, Conrad arrived. He walked over and asked Eileen worriedly, “What’s happening?”


    Eileen said with tears In her eyes, “I don’t know. I was justing back from the family lounge when I


    heard the rm from Fia’s room. And then, Doctor Evaris led a few doctors in.”


    Conrad tightened his grip as he gritted his teeth. There was nothing he could do but wait.


    Half an hourter, Jason and the doctors came out with relief on their faces.


    “Luckily you noticed it from the monitor, otherwise…”


    “Thank you for the support.”


    After the doctors left, Eileen quickly asked Jason, “What happened? How is she?”


    Jason exined, “We suddenly noticed that she was having a fever and an erratic heartbeat. We dealt


    with it, and I’ll continue to monitor her status.”


    “Thank you.” Eileen forced a smile and wiped her tears away. “So, when will she wake up?”


    Jason frowned and said, “I can’t say. She was already physically quite frail. Something like that might


    happen again.”


    Conrad red at Jason coldly, yet he could still see the ck bags under his eyes.


    He couldn’t help but mutter in irritation, “How useless!”
