    He stared at the car that knocked Louise down for a moment before a moment of rity hit him. He


    finally realized what was actually going on.


    “It’s your own fault!”


    Esme locked her eyes with her father’s and yelled, “This is all your own fault! You have no one to


    me but yourself!”


    Staring at his daughter’s hateful scowl, Hank replied, “But Louise and the boy are innocent….”


    “No! You’re all guilty! She robbed my mom’s husband from her. As for that boy…”


    Esme turned and red at the little boy that was so shocked that he could only look on silently.


    “No!” Hank hurried over to pull his son into his embrace.


    Louise did her darndest to sit up and said to Esme as blood bled from her mouth, “Please… let my son


    go… If you want to punish someone… you can do it to me… Please… kill me… not my baby boy…”


    Esme was so overwhelmed by anger and hatred that her tears streamed down her face.


    “Why? Why is my life so unfair?! Why can’t my parents ever truly love me?!”


    Hank put a hand over his son’s eyes to prevent him from seeing his mother’s injury and said, Esme…


    there is no parent who doesn’t love their children… It’s just…”


    “Excuses! Excuses! Excuses!!” Esme screeched out loudly, “I don’t want to hear. You’re all liars! Liars!”


    your excuses!


    Hank looked at Louise worryingly. He had to call for the ambnce right away! If Louise did not get


    immediate treatment, her life would be in danger.


    Yet, what would happen to Esme if he called for the ambnce? She was the one who hit Louise….


    “Hahaha!” Esme suddenly burst intoughter and said, “Go on, Dad. This is your golden opportunity to


    prove your love for me. Don’t make the call. Don’t tell the police that I was the one who hit her…”


    “Esme… you’ve broken thew…”


    “I did what I did to save myself!” Esme looked at her father tearfully. “You and Mom never loved me. So,


    I’ll have to do everything on my own for myself!”


    Hearing his son calling out to his mother in his arms, Hank’s hesitation dissolved in that instant and he


    immediately dialed 911.


    Seeing this, Esme rushed forward to grab away his phone. “I told you to not call for an ambnce!


    You’ll attract the police!”


    Hank raised his head and said to Esme sullenly, “She could die, Esme! If that happens, you could be


    convicted of murder!”


    “Oh, you jest, Dad! There are so many crimes that I’ve done that I’d be sentenced to death right away!


    Yet, I can’t allow my name to be tainted right now. Not with this new identity I’ve got!” Esme then smiled


    at Hank. “Dad, can you please show your love for me… for thest time?”


    Louise was beginning to lose consciousness. Yet, all she cared about was her child. Seeing the


    hesitation in Hank’s eyes, worry began to grow in her heart.


    Before she lost her consciousness, Louise mumbled, “… Please… not my baby… Please don’t hurt my


    baby…”


    “Dad, what’s there to hesitate about? It’s just a woman, right? You are so heartless to Mom. Surely, you


    could also do the same to someone who’s just another pub singer, right?” Esme caressed Hank’s head


    and said, “With her gone, you could retrieve your money. I could even help you rebuild your business!”


    She was applying the hallucinogen that she stole from Peter onto Hank’s hair. This drug could take


    away a person’s rationality, and thus make it very easy to provoke them to do


    unspeakably horrible things. Thest time she used this drug was when she made Fia push her off the


    River Fane bridge.


    Holding his son, Hank had never felt so much regret before. He knew right away that this boy was


    indeed his flesh-and-blood the moment he saw his daughter!


    That paternity report was definitely the work of Esme!

    He knew his daughter more than anyone, Beth had taught this daughter of his to be a cunning, jealous,


    wrathful witch!


    “Fia, it’s time for dinner.”


    Conrad went upstairs to get his wife as soon as he reached home. When he entered their bedroom, he


    saw Fia staring at her phone on the bed. She had been watching a news report. over and over again.


    Due to the closed curtains and the lights off, the bedroom was shrouded in darkness, with only the light


    from Fia’s phone illuminating her pale, shocked face.


    “Fia?!” Conrad quickly opened the curtains to clear the air and switched on the lights. He turned and


    saw her body shuddering. He quickly rushed forward to embrace her.


    “What’s wrong?”


    “Conrad!” Fia suddenly burst into tears. “What… What should I do? How could she…?! How could she


    be this cruel?!”


    “What happened?”


    Lightly poking her head out of Conrad’s embrace, Fia showed her phone to Conrad.


    After watching the news, Conrad frowned speechlessly.


    Fia buried her face in his embrace and wept. “Uncle Hank would never hurt that woman and baby! It’s


    her! It had to be her!”
