Chapter 704
“Don’t touch her!” Jason stood in front of Fla, glaring at each and everyone of the police officers that were present.
“I’m Jason Evans from Argonauts Corp. I’ll be her guarantor…”
“Evans, there’s no need to do that.” Fia tugged Jason’s sleeve. “I’ll cooperate with them at the station.”
At this time, a car stopped Tiger quickly ran over.
“What’s going on?” he asked as he looked at Fia. “What happened?”
Fia then looked at Tiger and asked, “Where’s Conrad?”
“He was in a car accident when he was on his way back. He’s heading here right now.”
“A car accident?” Fia looked at him with suspicion before glancing at Britney, who was playing innocent.
“Why… Why are you looking at me?” Britney hid behind one of the policemen.
It all felt ridiculous to Fia. The person in front of her probably wasn’t the real Britney Thomas!
She first called her to River Fane and did an act with the clown mask. And that strange scent made her unable to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthink and lose her strength.
That scent probably had some properties that could make her go numb, and it had to be quite strong too.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have made her immediately lose her strength and ability to think clearly.
She didn’t push her. She simply wanted to remove her mask. Since she couldn’t stop her body from weakening, she
had to at least remove her mask.
But she didn’t realize that it was all just part of the plot. As she stepped back, Britney fell from the bridge when her
hand touched her.
That was how Jason and the policemen saw her “personally” push Britney.
When she fell from the bridge, she lost her mask. When they saved her, she was already wearing Britney’s face.
However, she could be sure that the person in front of her was not Britney! She had to be Esme!
She must have spent a lot of effort to hide her own identity… It could be seen from how she managed to switch
between the two voices so quickly.
But if she was Esme, where was the real Britney?
Perhaps by involving the police in this, they could help her find the truth.
“I’ll go with you.” As Fia’s head cleared, her strength came back.
Tiger glanced at Britney and reconstructed what had happened in his mind.
He stepped in front of Fia and said angrily, “Don’t touch our madam! Otherwise, things are going to get really ugly.”
“Move, Tiger,” Fia said helplessly. “It doesn’t matter whether I pushed her or not. They all saw it.”
Tiger then said with a cold face, “No! Before Sir arrives, no one can take you away!”
Fia sighed.
“What can he do even if he’s here, Tiger? I still have to cooperate when they demand it.” Fia tried to convince
Tiger. She didn’t want Conrad to make things even more complicated when he was here.
With his temper, he wouldn’t speak properly. And she was afraid too! What if he believed Britney? What if he
already knew that Britney was Esme? What if he was already having second thoughts?
She couldn’t bet on it. She didn’t dare to.
“Mr. Parker is a wise man. I believe that he’ll prove my innocence.” Fia calmed Tiger down while she walked over to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe police cruiser.
Tiger wanted to chase after her, but Jason grabbed his wrist tightly.
“What are you doing?!” Tiger glared at Jason.
Jason said with a serious expression on his face, “She’s her own person. We should respect that.”
“But…”
“She’s right. No one will dare to punish her unfairly. Rather than asking for her release right now, why don’t you
contact Director Parker?”
Tiger was slightly stunned. He watched as Jason made a call, and very quickly he could hear that he was calling
Finn.
Finn had just said his goodbyes to his older brother and his family. When he received the call from Jason, he looked
at the airport entrance in shock.
Finn decided not to tell his older brother about it, planning to deal with it himself. His brother still needed to rest
when he got back.
As he walked over to his car, he asked Jason, “What happened? Did Fia really push Britney?” “It’s a trap! I’ll
accompany Fia to the station first. We’ll continue this later when we meet up.”
