Sophia looked at Fia, to see if she agreed with this idea.

Tiger did not probe why she wanted to visit Britney. Instead he told her what he knew right away. “Miss Thomas isn’t
there. She was released from the hospital yesterday.”
“That early?” Fia was surprised to hear that. “But she had just miscarried a baby and even jumped off a building?
Doesn’t she need medical attention at the hospital?”
“I don’t know the details.” Tiger was loyal to Conrad and strictly obeyed his order to not tell her full details about
that cursed Britney.
“Fine. I guess I don’t have to go to the hospital then.”
Fia figured that Peter probably had fetched Britney out of the hospital because he feared for her safety. Even if she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwanted to find them now, Fia had no idea if they had fled to the Hall’s household or to the Thomases’ household.
“Tiger, can you help me find out where she is?”
Tiger shook his head. “I’m sorry. Something happened at the company in the last two days. So
our hands are tied.”
Recalling the defamation that had caused Maxwell Corporation’s stocks to go down, Fia
became concerned for them and probed further. “So how’s the company doing? Has that video we posted done
any good?”
“Yes, it has. But it’ll take some time for it to take full effect though.”
Fearing that she would probe further, Tiger did not dare to linger at the villa. After retrieving the document from
Conrad’s study, Tiger immediately left.
Standing at the front yard, Fia stared at Tiger leaving with the car for a while before saying to Sophia coldly, “Don’t
you think it’s a bit weird?”
“Weird? You mean Tiger’s acting weird? I don’t think so. He has always had that poker face.”
“He evaded talking about Britney.”
A thought flashed in Sophia’s mind before she comforted Fia gently, “That woman is a pretentious homewrecker. So
it’s natural for a man like Tiger to not want to talk about her.”
Sophia, too, had noticed Tiger’s reluctance to talk about Britney. But she did not dare to tell this to Fia, fearing that
she would be upset.
“Perhaps.” Fia smiled. “Let’s head inside. Your feet will start hurting if we stand out here too long.”
Sophia bearned at Fia and said, “Nah, I’m fine! I’m as sturdy as a rock!”
Walking into the house in low spirits, Fia asked Sophia to wait for her in the living room as she climbed upstairs.
After she entered the master bedroom, Fia browsed through her contact list to find Jason’s
number. However, after a brief moment of hesitation, she dialled Kent’s number instead.
“Hey, Mrs. Maxwell! It’s been a while.” Kent stretched and yawned on his chair. He had been working day in and day
out, absolutely exhausted.
“Mr. Gilbert, I’d like you to help me locate someone. How much should I pay for your service?” Fia asked
courteously.
Kent was stunned momentarily before beaming at his phone. “For you, no charge.”
“No, I must compensate you for your service or else it’d be unfair to you. Name your price.” “It’s okay. You, Jase,
and I are friends. So it’d be wrong to take money from you. Besides, Eileen had helped a great deal when I was at
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmy lowest point in life. So don’t worry about it. I’ll help you free of charge.”
Fia was speechless after learning about Kent’s generosity.
Kent asked, “Let me guess. You’re trying to find Peter Hall and Britney Thomas?”
“Yes. More importantly, I want to find out whether Britney is actually Esme in disguise.” Fia clenched her teeth and
said, “I have a certain unsettling feeling about her.”
“I understand. To be frank, I, too, think the woman using her name isn’t really Britney Thomas. Though we still need
more evidence to prove that she’s Esme.” Kent took a breath before saying, “I’d say Peter Hall is the more
troublesome devil to deal with. If we are to find out about Britney’s real identity, we should focus our effort on
Peter.”
Fia nodded. “Yes. Thank you so much for your help.”
Kent responded with a smile. “Don’t mention it. I’m doing this for myself too. I’ll let Mr. Maxwell know as soon as I
find them.”
Fia furrowed her brows and said, “Could you tell me right away?”
“You’re husband and wife, right? So it’s important that I tell him. If he has information about these two, he’ll be able
to protect you.
“He will keep it from me,” Fia said in certainty. “And I don’t like being kept in the dark.”
