    Chapter 1018


    Conrad stuffed two cherries in his mouth. “Without sufficient evidence, all we would do is startle the


    culprit.”


    Fia suddenly thought of the real Britney. Her face was disfigured and her body was full of severe


    injuries.

    She slowly calmed down and understood that what Conrad said was right.


    “Britney is innocent. To startle the culprit would make her the greatest victim.”


    “Yes,” Conrad said seriously. “She would be Esme and carry all the crimes that Esme should be


    punished for.”


    Fia was silent.


    Conrad bit the cherry. “Fia, there’s something I want to remind you.”


    “What?” Fia looked at him seriously.


    “Even if it is the real Britney, don’t be too emotional toward her.” Conrad’s gaze was deep as he spoke


    extremely solemnly.


    Fia said, “Don’t you trust her?”


    Conrad looked at the carved ceiling. “Besides a couple of people by my side, it is hard for me to trust


    other people.”


    “The people by your side are referring to Ss, Tiger, Sophia? Does Mr. Lane count?”


    “Yes.” Conrad’s gaze turned gentle as he looked at Fia and said slowly. “You too.”


    Fia’s heart clenched, throbbing a little.


    She looked elsewhere and said, “You don’t believe me at all. You keep suspecting that I and other


    men…”

    “Only Jason,” Conrad exined. “He indeed has other intentions toward you.”


    Fia replied, “Evans isn’t the kind of person you think he is.”


    “What kind of person are you saying he is?” Conrad was clearly a little angry and his expression froze.


    “Even if he has any feelings for me, he won’t cross the line!” Fia had a determined look. She believed in


    Jason.


    “Is that so?” Conrad’s gaze turned threatening. “Then, did you know that he lied to Director Parker, and


    said that the person who hit him was me?”


    Fia frowned. “Where did you hear this?”


    “Director Parker asked him a couple of times and he kept lying! If not for me going over to expose him,


    he would not have changed his testimony!” Conrad got angrier the more he thought about it. Why did


    his wife believe in an outsider so much!


    Fia tried to exin, “Perhaps… he was angry at you, or maybe he was shocked and saw the wrong


    person.”


    “With his family’s rtionship with Director Parker, if they hadn’t found evidence that it was not me, I


    would not be sitting here like this now.” Conrad found it ironic. “Why is Jason’s image in your heart so


    perfect? That he wouldn’t do anything wrong? That he wouldn’t lie?” Fia shook her head. “I, I only…”


    “Sir!” Sophia came running over at the right time. “Madam only treats Mr. Evans as a friend. She trusts


    him as a friend and Mr. Evans has helped Madam many times. That’s why Madam sees things that


    way…”


    “Ha!” Conrad snorted as he looked at Sophia with a cool gaze. “I asked you to take good care of Fia,


    and you sure seempetent.”


    Sophia nodded weakly. “That is only to be expected.”


    Conrad replied, “Do you know thattely you…”


    “You promised me you won’t punish Sophia.” Fia interrupted his hostile words.


    Conrad raised his hand and rubbed a brow.


    “You are right. I did promise you.


    “However, Sophia’s been obedienttely and she did not bring you out to do anything overboard.”


    Fia and Sophia both kept quiet, not knowing what he was going to say next.


    “What do you think about you and Eileen going to the Thomases and hitting people?” Conrad stared at


    Sophia, his tone neutral.


    Sophia put both hands behind her back, her feet apart and her shoulders broad, in a dashing army


    position.


    “That…” She gave a dry cough. “Miss Reid was so bored that she was restless and I felt the same, so


    we agreed to it.”
