Chapter 735
Esme’s eyes softened as she stood up properly. Britney’s face made her look like the girl next door.
“Is there any reason for you to ask me here, Mr. Maxwell?”
Conrad didn’t answer her and simply continued to descend the flight of stairs.
He was holding a photo album in his hand as he walked over to the sofa. He sat down in a relaxed but cold manner.
He then tossed the album onto the coffee table. “Take a look, Miss Thomas.”
“What’s this?” Esme asked.
Conrad wasn’t willing to say another word and simply gestured with his chin toward the album.
Esme sat down in a ladylike manner and picked up the album.
After she opened the album, she frowned extremely slightly.

However, she was disguising it extremely well. Her frown turned into curiosity almost immediately.
She began flipping and looking at the photos in the album and asked, “Is this when Fia was little? She’s in a lot of
pictures together with Esme. I really can’t tell, but… Esme is several years older than Fia, right? Fia was still a little
girl, but she was already in her teenage years.”
When she flipped to the last page, she raised her head and looked at Conrad.
“There used to be a photo on the last page, right?”
Conrad simply looked at her icily without saying a word.
Esme frowned. “I can see that there used to be a photo here. I’m just asking out of curiosity.”
“It originally had a photo of me, Fia, and Esme. Someone stole it and sent it back to me.”
“Huh?” Esme pretended to be confused. “Who would steal your photo? Why would they send it back to you?”
Conrad’s voice was cold as he continued, “We didn’t have any bodyguards when we lived in our previous mansion.
That thief only stole one photo and nothing valuable.”
Esme gritted her teeth quietly before asking in a curious tone, “Don’t thieves steal valuables. only? Why would the
thief steal the photo and send it back to you? That’s so strange!”
“Ha!” Conrad felt disgusted for some reason. No matter how good the woman’s disguise was, he would feel
disgusted. He then said coldly, “Maybe you can tell me the answer to that.”
Esme looked nervous. “What do you mean, Mr. Maxwell? I’m just a girl, not a thief!”
“Maybe you were the one who hired him!” Conrad said as his volume increased.
Esme had just wanted to argue back when Silas pushed a man in.
There was a sack covering the man’s head.
Her eyes were opened wide as she tried to hide the nervousness in her heart.

Conrad said nothing and simply gave Silas a look.
Silas then escorted the man next to Conrad and removed the sack from his head.
“Take a closer look. Do you know this man?”
Esme looked at the person and couldn’t help but gulp.
“No!”
There were some injuries on his face, but the wounds had mostly turned to scars. It was truly a sight too terrible to
behold.
The man’s mental condition wasn’t exactly at its best. His eyes were without spirit as he knelt on the ground.
“Take a good look, Miss Thomas!” Silas held the man’s chin and raised his head.
Esme shook her head. “I really don’t know him. I know that the people outside are Esme’s parents, but I don’t know
this man at all!”
Conrad chuckled icily. “You don’t?”
