    Chapter 1041


    Shortly after, the Thomas family appeared.


    Conrad personally went down to meet them.


    Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, as well as Barbara, looked at him with aplicated gaze.


    Mrs. Thomas cried the moment she saw him. “Mr. Maxwell, please give us back our daughter.”


    Mr. Thomas asked in confusion, “We’ve not been able to contact her sincest night after we received


    photos of you and Britney together. What exactly have you done to her? If you like her, you can tell us,


    elders. We are not unreasonable parents.”


    Mr. Thomas was still hoping to leech off Conrad, but Mrs. Thomas had seen the news of Conrad


    exposing his wife, so she did not want her daughter to have anything to do with him. The couple


    immediately started to argue the moment they did not agree.


    Seeing her parents acting like this, Barbara felt really bad for her sister! They didn’t even know that


    their “daughter” was not Britney but Esme!


    Conrad couldn’t be bothered with the two of them. He looked coldly at Barbara and said, Come in.”


    Barbara entered Conrad’s vi alone, her parents blocked outside by the bodyguards.


    “Sit.” Conrad had the necessary calmness and coolness toward an outsider.


    Barbara sat down uneasily, epting the tea Mrs. Whitley offered.


    “Mr. Maxwell, where is my sister now?”


    Conrad held the tea cup, his gaze gloomy as he said, “I was just about to ask you.”


    “That night, the one who made an appointment with you was Britney. How did Esme end up being the


    one you met?” Barbara felt more fearful the more she thought of it. “Did she do something to my sister


    again?”


    Conrad stared at Barbara, asking with multiple pauses in between words. “Since you reunited with her,


    have you never been suspicious of her?”


    Britney made an appointment with him, but the one who turned up was Esme. Then, Britney


    disappeared yet again.


    Barbara shook her head fervently. “How could I be suspicious of her? She is already so badly injured


    that I’m about to die of heartache!”


    Conrad replied, “This time, your sister helped Esme to go against me. If she hadn’t been the one who


    asked to meet, I would never have gone! Then, there wouldn’t have been a chance for  to end up


    like this!”


    “…I, I don’t know what’s going on. Britney, she, perhaps Esme has done something to her and she had


    no choice but to do it.” Barbara put the cup down with shaky hands as she rubbed her face and said,


    “Is Esme in your hands now?”


    Conrad looked at her silently.


    She begged. “Please let me see Esme. I want to ask her what exactly she did to Britney. She must


    have threatened Britney, so Britney had no choice but to…’


    “Barbara,” Conrad spat out her name coolly. “It’s true that your sister was met with unfortunate


    circumstances, but it is also true that she has changed. You should wake up!” “Impossible. Let me see


    Esme! I will definitely be able to get an answer.”


    “What you should do now is tell me the moment Britney gets in touch with you!” Conrad’s amber, sharp


    gazended on Barbara.


    Barbara knelt on the ground. “Mr. Maxwell. 1, Barbara, have always been strong-headed and unwilling


    to admit defeat. This is my first time begging someone. Please let me see Esme. I’ll ask her…”


    Conrad looked at Tiger. “Bring Barbara to her!”


    “Yes.” Tiger took Barbara’s phone, took off all the essories she had on her, and used the equipment


    to sweep through her from head to toe once to ensure that there were no problems before bringing her


    to Esme.

    In the basement, it was dark and deadly silent.


    Esme heard someoneing and called out with sobs.


    Barbara was afraid, not daring to go any nearer, thinking that it was some kind of wild animal. crying.


    Tiger turned on the lights and pushed Barbara. “Esme is

    up ahead.”


    Tiger removed the cloth from her mouth and she started shouting agitatedly. “Barbara, are you here to


    save me? Are Dad and Mom here? Have they figured out that Conrad took me?”


    Barbara rushed forward, full of hatred,unching attacks on Esme’s face, both left and right.


    “You despicable person, in your dreams!”


    “Hahahaha!” Esme started tough Instead of getting angry. “Turns out you already know!”
