Chapter 535
Conrad thought again of the delusion that the picture had given him and covered her mouth with his lips, not
wanting to hear her mention. someone else.
A kiss that started off gently gradually became more intense and heated, easily making one dizzy.
When Britney arrived home, she greeted the s*rvants politely before flying upstairs.
Once in the bedroom, she closed the doors and windows, pulled down even the curtains, and made an international
call.
“I’m so annoyed!”
The first thing out of her mouth was a complaint.
The person on the other end was in Mapleland and asked in a lazy tone, “What? Was the blind date not good
enough for you?”
“Your sister brought that b*tch with her!”
“Esme.” The man’s voice turned cold and hard. “That’s my sister you’re talking about. Watch your tone.”
Britney took a deep breath to calm herself. “Didn’t you say that I’m Britney, now and forever? And that I will only

“I’ll assume that you were emotional because you saw an old friend and couldn’t control your temper. If you speak
about my sister in that tone again, don’t blame me for turning against you!”
Realizing how protective Peter was of his sister, she gritted her teeth and softened her tone, “How could I be
unhappy with your sister? I
like her a lot. I was just angry when I saw Fia.”
Peter didn’t want to bother about this topic any longer and asked coldly, “Have you seen Conrad?”
“No. Why would I? My heart is with you now.”
“It better be. I’m hanging up now. I’ll return in a few days to see you. While I’m not by your side, stay in character
and don’t expose yourself!
“I got it.”
Esme slumped down onto the carpet by the bed.
She was so jealous of Fia!
Even if the woman was blind, Fia’s voice was filled with joy and delight when Conrad was mentioned. Esme’s death
had not affected their relationship in the slightest, but in fact had made it better!
Peter was returning soon. She had to do something before he did, or else she wouldn’t be able to control the anger
coursing through her.
In the evening, Barbara drove home and greeted her parents indifferently under their cold gazes.
Mr. Thomas couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “I thought you weren’t coming home anymore? What’s the meaning
of this?”
Barbara didn’t pause in her steps and said as she continued upstairs,” Don’t worry. I don’t intend to pollute the
Thomases’ air. I’m just dropping by to see Britney, and then I’ll be leaving.”
“Hmph!”
Mr. Thomas was very dissatisfied with his daughter. Despite her successful career, she was still only working for
others!
She didn’t listen to their words and didn’t follow the traditional path of getting married and having children in
accordance with the
arrangement of her elders. Instead, she insisted on being someone’s stepmother and even got divorced afterward!
She was an utter disgrace to the Thomas family!
After knocking on the door, Britney opened it, and her face lit up at the sight of Barbara.

“Barbara! You’re back!”
Barbara studied Britney from head to toe a few times before saying, ” Long time no see. Seems like you’ve grown
some.”
Britney raised her chin, feeling a little proud.
“Yeah! I’m no longer the little dwarf you used to call me back when we were kids!”
After Britney made that childhood joke, Barbara felt even more like her sister had returned, and there was no
unfamiliar feeling between
them.
Barbara reached out to grab Britney’s hand and said, “Come on. I’ll take you out for supper and buy you some
clothes.”
“Barbara, I have my own money. You don’t have to buy anything for me.”
Barbara patted Britney’s head and said, “Don’t refuse your sister’s love,
“Okay then!” Britney said and took Barbara’s arm with a delighted look.
As Barbara drove them away from the residence, she asked, “What are your plans now that you’re back?”
“I’ll take it one step at a time and see what I can do.”
“Have you been doing biological research abroad?”
“Yeah.”
A hint of reluctance crossed Barbara’s eyes as she asked, “Was Peter
worth it?”
