Chapter 931
“She’s in her room upstairs.”
The maid did not stop him from going upstairs. She did not suspect anything since it was known that
Mr. and Mrs. Hall approved of Peter and Britney’s union in marriage. They were even discussing the
exact date for their wedding! So, to the maid, Peter’s anxiousness was actually his eagerness to meet
his fiance.
Peter hurried upstairs and knocked on Britney’s door. When the door opened, Esme asked in a daze,
seemingly surprised to see him here, “Oh, Peter? Why’re you here?”
“Heh!” Peter smirked before pushing her back into the room, choking her with a hand.
Shocked and dejected, Esme tried to fight back and break free. However, Peter was too strong. In less
than a minute, he had pushed her into the bathroom and pressed her head onto the sink.
“You b*tch! Why did you send those to my sister?!”
“What… What do you mean?” Esme asked as she struggled to break free from Peter’s grasp.
Peter turned the tap and began drenching her head. “I didn’t tell you all my secrets for you to betray
me! Have you forgotten who you really are? Do you think you can risk getting yourself exposed?!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about! I did not do anything!” Esme gave a pathetic look, trying to
plead to Peter.
“You can stop your act right now! Hmph! Always acting innocent, again and again! Don’t think your trick
will work on me this time!” Peter red at her hatefully as he dunked her
head into the water.
Esme tried her darndest to push him away yet she was too weak to do so. Instead, she was dunked
into the water even more harshly. Even though his left arm was injured, Peter could still physically
overpower her!
“I shouldn’t have saved you! Shouldn’t have given you a chance at all!” Peter kept dunking her head
into the sink in anger. Esme’s struggling got weaker, appearing to be on the verge of drowning.
“Miss Britney, Miss Barbara is home!”
Suddenly, the maid ran upstairs, calling out to Britney happily. When she opened the door, she
screeched in horror, “Mr. Hall, what are you doing?!”
Barbara entered the room as well. She frowned the moment she saw what was happening in the
bathroom.
Without hesitation, Barbara rushed forward and grabbed Peter’s left hand.
“Calm down!”
Feeling a piercing pain in his left arm, Peter let go of Esme, who fell to the floor gasping for
air.
Looking at these two, Barbara felt very conflicted. The maid crept over, still frightened by
what she saw earlier, and stood next to Barbara. She was very impressed with Barbara’s wit and
courage. Had she not been quick on her feet, Britney would have drowned.
Worried that Barbara would me her for not helping Britney, the maid scolded Peter. “Mr. Hall! How
could you do something like this? If there’s any misunderstanding, you should talk it out like adults. You
shouldn’t resort to violence!”
“Hehe!” Peter let out a smirk, ready with aeback. However, he was stunned when he saw the
person stepping through the door.
She was wearing a long, ck dress with a ck, gold-trimmed coat. Under a jet ck cap, her long,
silky ck hair waved against the breeze as she stepped closer. She had a ck face mask. on so he
could not see her face under the cap.
From head to toe, the woman was d in a ck outfit, making her look like a blurry shadow.
Despite not being able to see her face, she reminded him of her that innocent, bubbly girl…. Could she
be her? But that girl had always hated ck… Besides, not many women loved wearing apletely
ck outfit nowadays.
Noticing Peter’s stare, Barbara turned and saw the girl in ck. Her frown dissipated into a loving yet
sympathetic smile as she walked to her.
“Are you tired? Let’s find a ce for you to rest, alright?”
The girl in ck took a nce into the bathroom before pressing down her cap. Under her cap and
face mask, it was clear as day her face had turned pale when she saw the wench in the bathroom.
