Chapter 1081
The journey across this hill was much shorter than taking the road.
Right now, all she could think about was reaching River Fane as fast as she could. Her master was
waiting for her there. Only he could save her-bringing her out of the city, giving her a new identity-which
would allow her to disappear!
If she could escape, she would have a chance toe back another time to make Conrad fall for her!
At the same time, Fia slowed down the car when the river came into view. She took a nce at her
phone’s GPS then red at a hill nearby.
A silhouette rolled down from the hill pathetically. However, that person got back on her feet quickly and
hurried to the car. “Master! Master! I’m here!”
Fia hit the brakes and flipped on the car’s high beam!
Blinded by the car’s headlights, Esme cried out loudly, “Master, save me!”
Sitting in the car, Fia put her hand on a spanner with a smirk. This was obviously that man’s n. He
tricked her intoing to River Fane by making her think that she would be saved.
Perhaps… This was all a game to him. Perhaps he wanted to see them having a cat fight, one that was
to the death.
“Master…?” Esme became anxious when she saw that her master did not get down from the car. Could
the driver be someone else? But it couldn’t be. She recognized her master’s car!
Esme kept calling out to her master as she approached the car meekly. Suddenly, the car’s headlights
were switched as a door was opened. In an instant, Esme saw nothing but darkness ahead of her,
making it difficult to see who it was in the car.
Fia’s legs were still injured. Her shoes werepletely bloodied from her aching, bleeding feet.
Fia recalled the day of Esme’s funeral… Her burial ceremony to be exact. She had been there, staring
at Esme’s portrait on her tomb. Back then, when she saw that picture, she felt pain in her heart, feeling
sad for her cousin.
Now…? She did not feel sad for her anymore.
She asked sarcastically, “Now that your cover is blown, not even Conrad could save you, huh?”
Then, she lowered her head with a smirk. “Oh, right! He’sying on a sick bed in the hospital right now.
Even if he wanted to, he can’t do anything to help you!”
Feeling a freezing chill running down her back, Esme trembled as she heard that voice.
“You! It’s you! How could you be here?!”
“Why can’t I be here?”
A few rays of moonlight veiled Fia’s face, making her mysterious yet ghostly beautiful in the dark.
Esme shouted at her as she took a step back, “But weren’t you r*ped by those filthy beggars?!
You should have jumped into the river to your death by now!”
“Oh, yeah. They almost got me. But they did not get to have me at the end.” Fia smiled at her as she
tightened her grip on the spanner. “So, tell me. How’s the taste of getting abandoned by your master?”
“Hahahaha!” Esme burst outughing, feeling that everything had taken a stupidly, amusing turn. “So
he’s keeping you as his pet too? Do you seriously think being with him would make your life any
better?!”
“It’s none of your business.” Fia slowly approached her with her weapon in hand. “You’ve hurt me,
again and again. My child… My baby! It died because of you!”
Taking another step back, Esme tried to calm her racing heart and retorted, “Fia Lawson! Conrad loves
me, not you! Even after knowing who I really am, he still decided to marry me! Me! If it weren’t for you
hurting him like you did, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!”

“Yes, indeed. He decided to marry you even after knowing who you really are.” Fia’s voice turned eerily
cold, as though she had morphed into a vengeful spirit.
“Hahaha! So, you must really hate me, right? But it’s no use! Now everyone knows his wife is me! The
one who he held a wedding for was me! So what if you two had been married for years, huh. He had
never held a wedding for you ever! What a joke!”
Esme kept on provoking Fia with her incendiary words. She needed to do that to make herself feel like
the victor.
“Indeed, what a joke.” Fia swiftly inched closer and said, “Even if I’ve loved him for more than a
decade, I can still do what I must! If you think I’m a pushover, then you’re sorely wrong!”
Esme stared at Fia in disbelief as thetter hurled the spanner straight at her face. She quickly guarded
her face with her hands. And then….! In that split second, Esme felt scorching pain on her hands.
She immediately skipped away to safety, yelling, “It’s all your fault! Your fault! If it weren’t for you
wanting to keep Conrad to yourself, things would never have turned out like this!”
“Stop making excuses for your despicable selfishness!”
Fia retorted coldly as she tightened her grip on the spanner. Now that her eyes had gotten used to the
dark, Esme could see the trail of blood that Fia left behind as she walked to her. Deducing that her feet
were injured, she ran straight at her without hesitation and attacked.
Fia’s body was already weakened from her injury. So, she was not able to withstand Esme’s retaliation.
In less than a second, she was already pressed to the ground.
Sitting on her body in excitement, Esme pped her face and said, “Don’t tell me you wanted to kill me
like this? Look at you! You’re half-dead! I see! Master must have lured you to me so I can end your life
with my own hands!”
