Chapter 665
“Britney.” Peter’s calm eyes laid on Esme. “Did you come here for lunch with the expectation of seeing
Conrad?”
Both Fia and Esme were speechless.
Conrad put down his glass and looked at Peter. “What, you’re here to get back at me?”
“Haha! What are you talking about, Conrad? It’s not my place to get back at you for anything,” Peter said as he
patted Esme’s arm. “Didn’t you say you have something you want to ask Conrad? He’s here now, so why don’t you
ask him?”
Esme’s thoughts were in turmoil.
Peter then reminded her, “You missed Esme so you went to the Mannings’ mansion for a walk. Didn’t you say you
want to ask Conrad about something?”
Esme’s eyes opened wider, and she stared into Peter’s eyes, hypnotizing herself that she was Britney.

back, I found out a little about what happened. While she made mistakes, I believe that you’re entirely at fault!”
Conrad raised her eyes and glared at Britney coldly.
“Since you were friends with her, then do you know the relationship between her and Peter that you secretly loved
so much?”
Esme was stunned. “What do you mean by that? Esme came back home because of you! It has nothing to do with
Peter!”
“Ha! Are you sure you don’t know what that means? Or are you pretending?” Conrad’s eyes became even colder.
“So, the two of you came here to have lunch so that you can give me some mental conditioning?
“Do you think that after Esme is dead, I would blame myself for it or have any regrets? Or do you want me to have
a fight with my wife over it again and again?” The words he said in his mouth were getting more
and more heartless.
“A woman that is dead no longer exists! I would never have any feelings for her! And you speak of her in front of
me… It only makes me feel repulsed and disgusted!”
The color on Esme’s face slowly drained away.
Peter frowned. He didn’t expect Conrad to be that heartless.
She was his first love.
And a first love was the hardest for a man to give up on, wasn’t it?
Esme was his first love. That was why he was maddeningly in love with her!
“Peter.” Conrad stared at Peter coldly. “Since you were able to take Esme out of the country all those years ago,
why didn’t she marry you?”
Peter frowned, the viciousness in his eyes appeared again.
“Because at the end of the day, it simply proves that you’re still lacking!” Conrad sneered at him coldly.
Fia felt breathless as she was stuck in between them.
All they talked about was Esme. She didn’t want to talk about her.
Esme steeled herself and then looked at Fia.

Fia tightened her fist and smiled. “You’re Britney Thomas, not Esme Manning. Why are you so interested in the story
between the three of us?”
“Because Esme’s my friend!”
“Friend, huh? The person that Peter likes is my cousin. Then, as her friend, you’re simply picking up what she had
discarded?” Fia said coldly. She wasn’t mute… She could provoke others when needed as well.
At this time, the waiter came with their food.
Conrad then said, “We want to change to another table.”
“Of course.” The waiter took their food to another table. He even chose a table that was much further away than
Peter and Esme.
“Let’s go, Fia.” Conrad held Fia’s hand as he stood up.
Fia took a few steps before suddenly turning around, and she caught the hatred in Esme’s eyes.
She frowned, asking in a cool voice, “What is there between you and me that could make you stare at me with such
hateful eyes?”
