Chapter 846
“Fia, I’m just worried about you. Your uncle came and told me what happened in Gryphon.”
“He told you I pushed Britney off a bridge, didn’t he?” Fia then asked sarcastically, “What else did he say? That I’m
mentally ill? That I’ve become so suspicious of others that everyone seems like a bad person to me?”
Conrad’s face turned cold when he noticed Fia’s emotions start to become unstable. He even wanted to snatch the
phone from Fia’s hand so she would not be adversely affected by negative feelings.
However, he felt relieved when he saw her smirking at the phone, seemingly not feeling hurt at all.

way, Fia.
“No. Your uncle didn’t say that.” Conall frowned and said, “I didn’t think of you I believe
you. Whatever you did, you must have done it with a reason.”
“Don’t worry. Even if you all think of me like that, I would not mind at all. Besides, Mr. Finn Parker and Madam
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBarbara were once a couple. So it’s only normal for him to defend his dear sister-in-law,” Fia replied in a mocking
tone, showing that she did not care about how they viewed her.
“Fia…”
When Conall wanted to say more to persuade her, Fia interjected, “It’s getting late. I need to rest now.”
Then she hung up the phone and smiled joyously at Conrad. “I’m done with my phone call. Satisfied? So can you
take your bath now?”
Conrad patted her on the head and said, “Roger that, Mrs. Maxwell.”
“Go!” Fia shoved his hand away before pulling the blanket over her. “I’m tired. I’ll hit the sack. first.”
“Okay.” Conrad tucked her in before walking to the bathroom. When she heard the bathroom door close, Fia’s face
turned sullen and she was dismayed.
She could not stop thinking about the possibility that Britney and Esme were the same person. On top of that,
Britney had connections and people who cared for her, making it difficult to probe for the truth.
The next morning, Conrad went straight to the company after breakfast. Fia came up with an excuse so she would
be allowed to rest at home.
Before leaving the house, Conrad ordered Sophia to accompany Fia at home and to never bring her out. Even if Fia
insisted on going outdoors, Sophia was to tell him about it too.
Seeing him out the door, Fia said with a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’ll be a good girl and stay at home
until you come back.”
Conrad nodded. “Good.”
Seeing his wife waving him goodbye, Conrad recalled the early days of their marriage. If so many untoward things
had not happened back then, perhaps their marriage would be as peaceful and harmonious as this.
After Conrad’s car was out of sight, Fia’s smile faded.
Seeing this, Sophia asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing.” Fia shrugged and said, “I want to visit the hospital. Wanna come with me?” Alarmed, Sophia asked
Fia timidly, “What… What are you going to the hospital for?”
“To pay Britney a visit.” Fia told Sophia frankly, “I want to see for myself if she’s Esme or not.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Fia…” Sophia held Fia’s hand worriedly. “Let’s leave this matter to Sir, okay? We can’t allow something like
yesterday to happen again. I have never become a mother so I did not realize the risk. Even Silas and Tiger scolded
me last night. I’m still scared and anxious when I think about what happened yesterday. If anything were to happen
to you and your baby, there’s nothing I can do to right my mistake.”
Fia instinctively looked at her tummy before relenting. “Fine, I won’t go to the hospital.” Fearing that Fia would be
upset, Sophia suggested a different way. “How about this, Fia? I’ll go to the hospital in your stead. You stay at home
while Mrs. Whitley and Mrs. Taylor look after you.”
Although Sophia was a capable fighter, she was still a girl. Fia was worried that if she allowed her to go there alone
she would face mortal peril.
It was then that they saw Tiger walk through the villa’s gate. Sophia was overjoyed to see him. “Great timing, Tiger!
I need to head out for a bit. Can you please look after Fia for a while?” “Where are you going?” Tiger coldly glanced
at Sophia’s leg before saying, “Do you want to receive more punishment?”
“I’m here to retrieve some documents for our boss. I’ll be leaving shortly.”
Then, Tiger gave it some thought before asking the girls, “So what is it? Perhaps I could help if I’ve got the time.”
