Chapter 682
Tiger found his own thoughts somewhatughable after hearing Conrad’s words.
“Yeah, that’s true. Who would be so foolish as to be someone else’s scapegoat?”
However, Conrad didn’t think so! People may not be foolish, but that didn’t mean they could stop the
existence of cunning and heartless individuals behind the scenes!
“Within three days, get me all of Miss Thomas and Esme’s medical records, from childhood to present!”
Conrad ordered.
Tiger was taken aback, but he quickly nodded in agreement. Just as Tiger left, Ss rushed back.
He leaned in closer to Conrad and whispered, “We’ve identified the sender.”
“Who was it?”
“Miss Thomas.

A glint of viciousness shed in Conrad’s eyes.
Ss was confused. “Why didn’t she put in more effort to conceal her identity before getting exposed?”
“Because she’s sitting on her high horse.”
“Huh?” Conrad’s answer only confused Ss even more, as he was unaware of what happenedst
night when Conrad and Fia had encountered Britney during dinner.
Conrad didn’t have time to exin it to him as his phone started to ring. He nced at the office before
walking further away and answering the call with a cold tone, “What’s the meaning of this?”
On the other end, a woman’s pitiful voice answered, “Mr. Maxwell, I didn’t mean to send you Esme’s
photos andbeled papers. I just wanted to know that the only person she truly loved was you. She
carried those papers with her when she went abroad and kept them under her pillow. I stayed at her
ce a few times, and she would take them out daily to reflect upon them.
Conrad’s lips curled into a smirk, and he retorted, “You’re lying!”
“Mr. Maxwell, I don’t have any ulterior motives. I just want you to understand her situation when she
was abroad. No matter where she was, her heart had always belonged to-”
“Are you her?” Conrad interrupted. “Even if you are her, I won’t believe a word you say, and your words
won’t influence me to produce your desired effect!”
“Con-”
Conrad hung up the phone and returned to the office with a grim expression. Ss nced at the door,
and, seeing that Conrad hadn’t given him any further instruction, left first.
“Who sent it?” Fia asked as she looked up, pen still gripped tightly in her hand.
Conrad frowned and said, “Britney Thomas.”
Fia gripped the pen tighter and broke it in half.
“Why did she send those to you?”
Conrad remained silent for a moment before replying, “As Esme’s friend, she sat on her high horse and
wanted to teach me a lesson.”
Fia stared at Conrad without blinking and asked, “Do you believe that?”

Their eyes met, and Conrad couldn’t bring himself to lie to her, even if it was tofort her.
“No. I don’t.”
“Then, what are your suspicions?” Fia asked as she stood from the table. Her hand grabbed the handle
of the drawer as she tried to maintain her calm.
A wave of helplessness and even exhaustion washed over Conrad. In the past few days, neither of
them had wanted to mention Esme, but she always seemed to be involved, and now, even Britney was.
Fia smiled bitterly at Conrad’s prolonged silence and said, “Doesn’t she remind you of Esme?”
Conrad frowned deeper.
“I had the same feeling. Back then, I even thought she deliberately wanted us to think she was Esme
herself. But today, I’m wondering if she really is her?”
Fia’s tone was gentle, but her eyes were numb and cold. She was the only one who could understand
the emotions in her heart. It was a mix of fear of knowing the truth and an anxious desire to uncover the
mystery.
Conrad quickly walked to her and moved the chair away, intending to embrace her.
“Don’t touch me!” Fia quickly eximed. “I need some time to calm down!”
Conrad withdrew his hand and said, “Fia, we’vee so far. Please don’t let a dead person affect us
like this.”
Fia suddenly looked at him. “Is she really dead? Can you be absolutely certain that she’s dead now?”
Conrad was silent.
