Chapter 824
When the doctor saw Conrad’s dissatisfied expression, she quickly said, “Don’t worry, Mr.
Maxwell. We are living in a much better time. As long as your wife eats well and doesn’t get too tired, as well as go
for checkups on time, your twins will be healthy!”
Conrad folded the results and put them in his pocket, and prepared to carry Fia home.
It was at this time that Silas and Tiger ran in.
“Sir, Miss Thomas is threatening to jump off the building,” the two of them said with worried expressions.
“Clean it up quickly after she’s dead!” Conrad responded in a wintry tone. Whether she was Britney Thomas or
Esme Manning, her death had nothing to do with him.
Silas then carefully said, “Someone released a video of her trying to buy jewelry at the store earlier. Now, everyone
on the internet is saying that you and the madam are being too vicious. That you’re harassing her, making her fall
down the escalator by making her mentally unstable.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTiger continued, “At this juncture, this will harm your and the madam’s reputation.”
Conrad’s amber eyes became even colder. “She’s always good at this kind of trick!”
Fia had already woken up when the doctor was explaining about the complications. She opened her eyes and
pushed his hands away. “Put me down.”
Conrad lowered his head and looked at her. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll take you home. Leave her to Silas.”
“I just want to take a look at her,” Fia said. “Also, did she keep her baby?”
Silas shook his head. “She lost the baby.”
“Then she must be in a terrible state. I simply want to go and see if she still has any conscience left in her. That
baby is her own flesh and blood… Even so, she’s willing to use the baby like a tool.”
Fia then squeezed Conrad’s arm. “Let me down.”
Conrad couldn’t stop her, so he let her down and held her hand once she was standing properly. “I’ll go with you.’

Fia didn’t even bat an eye. “Do as you like.”
Silas then led the way with Tiger at the back, just in case.
At the ward.
Esme had been sent to the ward after the surgery. After she woke up, she climbed to the window.
She shocked the nurse when she came in. Since the nurse couldn’t get her down, all she could do was call the
doctor.
Esme’s legs were outside the window, and she looked at those people who were consoling her with sad eyes.
“Don’t come near me! I’ll jump if you come any closer!”
A video of her at the shop buying jewelry had appeared. Through video-editing, it made her look like the victim.
She liked a necklace that Maxwell Corporation had made but Fia robbed it from her, and even the staff humiliated
her together with their boss’s wife.
Then, Conrad moved a piano over. She wasn’t allowed to leave unless she played a song for him.
The entire internet was cursing Conrad, Fia, and Maxwell Corporation.
They even quickly formed an anti-Maxwell Corporation online group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSomeone also posted the picture of Esme sitting by the window to the internet, and theories of her being harassed
and injured to the point of being sent to the hospital, and then wanting to commit suicide out of mortification,
began to surface on the internet.
A number of reporters came, wanting an interview, and there were also a lot of people outside the ward.
The hospital’s security staff were trying to dismiss the crowd when Conrad and Fia walked over, and everyone
pointed their fingers at them.
Fia frowned, realizing how bad the public consensus was against them.
On their way there, Conrad had already read the news using his phone.
His expression was extremely dark!
How shameless could she be?! She lost the child because she fell, yet she pinned the blame on them!
Silas was keeping an eye on the company’s stock value and quickly walked over to Conrad’s side. “Sir, it’s affecting
the company’s share prices.”
Conrad looked at the graph from his phone. “You will go back to the company first.”
“Of course!” Silas left in a rush.
Tiger told the bodyguards to open up a path and get rid of the onlookers. He also told the hospital to move Peter
into the ward from the surgical theater.
Peter’s right hand remained in a strange position as he was covered in sweat due to the pain.
