    Chapter 735


    Esme’s eyes softened as she stood up properly. Britney’s face made her look like the girl next door.


    “Is there any reason for you to ask me here, Mr. Maxwell?”


    Conrad didn’t answer her and simply continued to descend the flight of stairs.


    He was holding a photo album in his hand as he walked over to the sofa. He sat down in a rxed but


    cold manner.


    He then tossed the album onto the coffee table. “Take a look, Miss Thomas.”


    “What’s this?” Esme asked.


    Conrad wasn’t willing to say another word and simply gestured with his chin toward the album.


    Esme sat down in adylike manner and picked up the album.


    After she opened the album, she frowned extremely slightly.


    Conrad simply stared at her face coolly and didn’t miss her slight frown.


    However, she was disguising it extremely well. Her frown turned into curiosity almost immediately.


    She began flipping and looking at the photos in the album and asked, “Is this when Fia was little? She’s


    in a lot of pictures together with Esme. I really can’t tell, but… Esme is several years older than Fia,


    right? Fia was still a little girl, but she was already in her teenage years.”


    When she flipped to thest page, she raised her head and looked at Conrad.


    “There used to be a photo on thest page, right?”


    Conrad simply looked at her icily without saying a word.


    Esme frowned. “I can see that there used to be a photo here. I’m just asking out of curiosity.”


    “It originally had a photo of me, Fia, and Esme. Someone stole it and sent it back to me.”


    “Huh?” Esme pretended to be confused. “Who would steal your photo? Why would they send it back to


    you?”


    Conrad’s voice was cold as he continued, “We didn’t have any bodyguards when we lived in our


    previous mansion. That thief only stole one photo and nothing valuable.”


    Esme gritted her teeth quietly before asking in a curious tone, “Don’t thieves steal valuables. only? Why


    would the thief steal the photo and send it back to you? That’s so strange!”


    “Ha!” Conrad felt disgusted for some reason. No matter how good the woman’s disguise was, he would


    feel disgusted. He then said coldly, “Maybe you can tell me the answer to that.”


    Esme looked nervous. “What do you mean, Mr. Maxwell? I’m just a girl, not a thief!”


    “Maybe you were the one who hired him!” Conrad said as his volume increased.


    Esme had just wanted to argue back when Ss pushed a man in.


    There was a sack covering the man’s head.

    Her eyes were opened wide as she tried to hide the nervousness in her heart.


    “Mr. Maxwell, why are your people so violent, pushing people in like that.”


    Conrad said nothing and simply gave Ss a look.


    Ss then escorted the man next to Conrad and removed the sack from his head.


    “Take a closer look. Do you know this man?”


    Esme looked at the person and couldn’t help but gulp.


    “No!”


    There were some injuries on his face, but the wounds had mostly turned to scars. It was truly a sight


    too terrible to behold.


    The man’s mental condition wasn’t exactly at its best. His eyes were without spirit as he knelt on the


    ground.


    “Take a good look, Miss Thomas!” Ss held the man’s chin and raised his head.


    Esme shook her head. “I really don’t know him. I know that the people outside are Esme’s parents, but


    I don’t know this man at all!”


    Conrad chuckled icily. “You don’t?”
