Barbara was stunned.
Britney removed her mask in front of Barbara, revealing her horrific face.
She simply said indifferently, “Dad has always been a selfish man.”
Barbara’s eyes became wet. She knew of it, of course.
“If Esme could benefit him somehow, he would probably refuse to acknowledge me as a daughter with
this disfigured face of mine, right?” Britney said as she looked at her. “That’s why after I managed to
escape, I didn’t dare toe back at first. I only showed myself to you after following you for a few
days.”
She didn’t even trust her sister. She would never trust her parents that had cared little about her since
she was little.
Barbara couldn’t bear to see her upset and said, “Don’t think like that. We are rted to our parents by
blood. No matter how bad they are, they’ll always love us.”
“Do you even believe what you just said?” Britney let out a cold smile. “I don’t.”
Barbara felt that after experiencing so much, her sister had changed.
She had never had a good rtionship with her parents since she was young, especially with her
selfish father. That was why she didn’t want to take over his smallpany.
Her sister was the one that kept on consoling her, saying that blood was thicker than water.
But now, even she didn’t believe it herself.
“It’s fine. Let’s not talk about it,” Britney said as she skinned a grape and ate it. “It really is very sweet,
but it no longer belongs to me.’
“Britney…”
“I want to move out.”
“This is your home! Why are you moving out?!”
“Barbara…” Britney took her cap off, revealing a pair of tearful eyes. “Staying here right now is just
another form of torture.”
Barbara instantly understood when she remembered Esme’s existence.
Barbara then said, “Just wait, Britney. I’ll get rid of her from this family! I’ll take back everything that’s
yours!”
“Britney, who’s the girl in the ck outfit that hid her face?” Peter asked Esme calmly.
Esme looked at his injured left hand and felt that he was not as dangerous anymore. She said,
“Barbara’s friend. She came to her for help because of domestic abuse.”
Peter recalled that woman’s figure. “Is that so?”
“What is it? The Thomases had beenining about her the whole time because she didn’t even
dare to show her face, but you’re okay with her?” Esme said mockingly. “Don’t tell me you see yourself
in her?” “What do you mean?” Peter suppressed his anger so he could learn more.
When Esme saw that he wasn’t enraged, she put on a brave face and said, “The first time I saw her, I
felt the same kind of feeling I felt from you all those years ago. Something repressed.”
Peter frowned.
Esme continued, “Why are you paying so much attention to her? Don’t tell me you’re developing
feelings for her?”
Peter let out an icy smile. “What? You’re worried?”
“Of course, I am,” Esme said as she bent forward and caught his arm, with half her upper body on him.
” You’re the only one that I can depend on now. If you fall in love with someone else, then all that’s
waiting for me is death.”
Peter pushed her away. “Stop acting!”

“I’m not acting, Mr. Hall! I’m telling the truth,” Esme said pitifully.
Peter loosened his necktie, grabbed her by the cor, and pulled her back.
“You leaked my information to Conrad and now you say that you love me and have to depend on me?
Ha! Do I look like a fool?”
Esme’s expression changed as she looked at Peter in disbelief. Disbelief that Conrad would tell Peter
about it.
She had risked her life to make that peace offering to him! Why would he treat her like that?!
“What are you thinking?” Peter red at her with murderous intent. “You want to use Conrad to
eliminate me? So that you can be with him?”
Esme shook her head. She had just wanted to say something when Peter pushed her away.
Her head mmed into the car door but she was too scared to say anything else.
