Chapter 841
It was then the door of the condominium apartment was opened again. This time Silas brought in two hunky,
muscular bodyguards.
Silas said to her coldly, “They are here to protect you. They will take turns to guard your door. If you need anything,
you can always ask them to provide them for you.”
Esme clenched her teeth and thanked him profusely. Deep in her heart, however, she was cursing him and Conrad
non-stop. She did not think that Conrad would not only refuse to see her but also send someone to keep an eye on
her.
“Mr. Silas, I have miscarried my baby recently. I forgot to bring my medici-”
Before she was able to finish her words, Silas tossed a packet of medicine on the table.
“This is the medicine prescribed by the hospital. Remember to take them as the doctor ordered.”
“Thank you, Mr. Silas.” Esme thanked him again.
But it was not over yet. Silas looked her in the eye and said, “Hand over your phone.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEsme was stunned hearing this. “Why should I give you my phone? No, you can’t have it.”
“Do you want to be found by Peter Hall?” Silas asked.
After hesitating for two seconds, Esme said, “I won’t accept his phone call.”
“What a load of bullsh*t! I don’t believe you.” Silas rolled his eyes at her before asking sarcastically, “Why aren’t
you cooperating? Are you trying to set us up?”
“No! I truly am on your side! Do you know why Peter wants to hurt Sis Fia so much? It’s because Uncle Parker had
wronged his family a long time ago. He wants to avenge his family!”
Esme continued providing more details about Peter, fearing that Silas still did not believe her. “That incident was
rather famous back then. You’ll definitely find news about it if you begin researching the relationship between the
Halls and Parkers.”
Silas listened to her without uttering a word. He already knew about this. Conrad had ordered. him to investigate
this a long time ago. Although Conall had spent some effort in wiping off traces of this incident from the media, it
only took Silas two days to uncover the news about it.
Conrad had given an order that if Britney told the truth she could keep her phone.
“Fine. I won’t confiscate your phone. But you’ll need to hand over your phone’s sim card.”

Esme was speechless when she heard this.
“Do you not trust me at all?”
“It’s unwise to underestimate a foe. Peter Hall has a complicated background and is very smart. It will take very
little effort for him to find you via GPS using your phone number.”
Then Silas said to her cynically, “Shouldn’t you be more cooperative if you want Mr. Maxwell to protect you?”
“Fine. I’ll hand over my phone’s sim card.” Esme was not hiding anything in her phone so she was not really afraid
of handing it over to him. It was just that she felt unreconciled to see them not trust her so much.
The number that she had been using to send anonymous messages to Fia was still well hidden. After Silas left, Esme
took some time to linger in the apartment before opening the door. The bodyguards were staying on guard on each
side of the door.
“Do you need something, Miss Thomas?” the bodyguards asked as they gave her a cold stare.
Frightened by their intimidating presence, Esme quickly closed the door. She used the phone number that Silas
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprovided her to call Conrad.
At Maxwell Corporation…
Conrad stared at the screen of his ringing phone for a few seconds before receiving the call impatiently.
“Hello? What is it?” He knew this number was used by Esme at the moment.
“Mr. Maxwell, why didn’t you come and meet me? Don’t you want to know about Peter? I…”
“I’m busy!” Conrad curtly interjected and hung up the phone.
Esme was furious! However, after recalling the damage Peter had caused to Maxwell
Corporation’s reputation, she finally calmed down.
She was waiting for Conrad to go to her after he was done with his work.
“Where is she?!” Peter yelled at the doctors and nurses after realizing that Esme was missing.
“Where did you hide her? Where?! Give her back to me!”
“Mister, we truly don’t know where your girlfriend has gone to.”
The doctors and nurses were trying to calm Peter down.
When Peter was about to call the police, he received a message on his phone. It was from Esme’s phone number.
Just as he wanted to get someone to track the phone’s GPS, a call came from another number. “Hello, is this Mr.
Hall?”
