Chapter 288


    Chapter 288


    “Are you trying to lie to me, Conrad? Lie to me despite our long rtionship for Fia? You want to force


    me to admit to something I never did?”


    Esme’s tears continued to flow as she sobbed pitifully.


    Conrad simply stared at her as the difort within him became stronger.


    Even Ss felt disgusted and couldn’t help but say, “What are you trying to say, Ms. Manning? Didn’t


    Mr. Maxwell treat you well enough? If you didn’t fake all those scenes whenever you fought with the


    madam. and we discovered it, would we even suspect you?!”


    “I didn’t!” Esme painfully denied it. “The car ident that Fia’s involved in has nothing to do with me.”


    She then stood up and said, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll kill myself to prove my innocence!”


    She turned around and pretended to want to ram into the wall. Hank and Beth quickly stopped her.


    The old couple red at Conrad angrily.


    Hank yelled, “Conrad, aren’t you pushing her too much?!”


    Beth said, “Esme came back from overseas for you and gave up on her future! How can you insult her


    like that?!”


    “She wants tomit suicide?” Conrad looked away coldly as he remembered how Fia would sneer at


    him saying how fake Esme was whenever she hurt herself.


    He turned and looked at Esme with those pair of icy, amber eyes.


    “If you want to die that much, why don’t you do it properly for once?”


    After watching all the ybacks of those videos, he wanted to see if Esme really wanted to die or


    simply


    wanted to scare him.


    Esme looked at Conrad in disappointment and despair as she lost her footing and sat on the ground.


    “Goodness! Esme, your eye!”


    “It’s bleeding! Send her to the hospital!”


    The old couple screamed in nervousness.


    No matter how well she was disguising it, Esme’s sorrow was not fake. Her tears from her injured right


    eye were made of blood.


    “Stop them,” Conrad said coldly.


    Ss walked over and stopped them from leaving. “None of you can leave until Mr. Maxwell is finished.


    with his business!”


    The three of them looked at Conrad shocked. Only then did they realize that, just as the people of


    Gryphon had said, he really had what it took to be a demon.


    But he was not done yet.


    Ss pushed the three of them into a sofa and a bodyguard dragged a woman into the mansion.


    The woman was wearing a nurse’s outfit. Two of her buttons had been torn and it was very obvious that


    she was scared.


    “Mr. Maxwell.” The bodyguard respectfully greeted Conrad before pushing the woman toward the sofa.


    Conrad went to her and bent over, and his amber eyes stared at her.


    “Exin.”


    “Mr. Maxwell, I…” Esme’s eyes turned mechanically as she looked at L in fear.


    “I said, exin!”


    “I will, I will!” L said as she trembled. She gave Esme a quick nce before confessing hastily with


    her


    head low.


    “The night you came to my mom’s shop to find Fia, I did something to you. I wanted to…” She then bit


    her lips as she continued. “Afterward, Ms. Manning came. She used it to force me to go against Ms.


    Fia. My cousin is a gangster and he has a bunch of gangster friends that will do anything for money. I


    introduced. Ms. Manning to them.


    “Afterward, Ms. Manning offered them 300 thousand dors to kidnap Ms. Fia, sleep with her, and then


    get rid of the baby.”


    Esme stared at her with wide eyes. “No! You’re making things up! I didn’t do anything like that!”


    Hank and Beth looked at her with shock. To them, their daughters might have some temper, but she


    was at least quite understanding and caring toward them.


    They couldn’t ept what L was saying.


    Esme pounced at L and said, “You’re making things up! I never told you to hurt Fia! Why are you


    doing this?! It’s you… You didn’t get to sleep with Conrad that night so you wanted to deal with Fia first


    before dealing with me!”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
