Chapter 877
“Miss Thomas keeps saying you kidnapped her because you saw her sex appeal and thus intended to keep her
as…”
Silas did not dare to complete the sentence. This woman was so shameless.
“You go meet her and tell her to tell the truth to the public if she wants her freedom again!” Conrad was more
worried about Fia’s mental health at the moment. He had no time to play games with unimportant people in his life.
After hesitating for two seconds, Silas said cautiously, “Miss Thomas said she could help with clearing your name by
telling the truth to the public. But…”
“But what?!”
“She wants you to treat her to a meal and have it together. A date, if you will.” Silas’ voice was as soft as a
mosquito, feeling perturbed at his boss’s upcoming temper.
And as expected, Conrad was angry upon hearing it. “What a shameless sl’t!”
“Sir, do you believe that she’s actually Esme Manning now?”
“I was not sure at first. Yet, I’m now convinced that she is indeed Esme after she set me up at the apartment!”
Conrad’s words were cold and he sounded livid.
Silas could not help being curious so he asked, “Sir, if you don’t mind me asking… do really not have feelings for Ms.
Manning anymore?”

Conrad glared at Silas. “Then do you mind me asking if you still have your brain in your skull?”

His brain was still there so Silas could see that his boss indeed had no feelings for Esme at the moment. Still, Silas
could not figure out just what the deal was between him and Esme.
If he really did not love her at all, then why would he insist on divorcing Fia right after Esme came back from
overseas? Let’s say he did really love her in the past… Why did he heartlessly. send her to prison?
This whole thing was so convoluted that Silas felt dizzy just from thinking about it.
“Why are you still standing here? Go!” Conrad was cross with Silas. Just what was wrong with this man? He had
been working by his side for so many years and yet he did not seem to understand him at all.
Silas, shuddering from being roared at by his boss, asked anxiously, “So what should we do with Britney Thomas?”
“I will never treat her to a date! If she wants to be confined there all her life then so be it! We’ll see who has the last
laugh!”
“Yes, sir…” Afraid of triggering his boss’s anger again, Silas quickly turned and fled. Yet, when. he reached the
corner nearby, he was shocked to see Fla standing there. “Madam, you…”
Seemingly at a loss, Fia stared at him. “What were you talking about?”
“No…! Nothing…!” Silas answered, sweating profusely. He did not know just how much she
had heard.

“Who is this Britney Thomas?”
Fia did not dare to touch on the topic about Conrad’s feelings for Esme. Deep inside, she felt that it was quite
normal for Conrad to still have feelings for Esme because of their sudden separation when she went overseas. So
she did not think she had the right to ask or talk about
1.
However, “Britney Thomas” was someone outside of their circle and personal history. So, as Conrad Maxwell’s wife,
Fia had the right to probe about this woman.
She did not personally know Britney Thomas. It was quite likely that Conrad became acquainted with this woman
after their marriage.
Silas knew that Fia had been suffering from repressed memories since this morning. Yet, he was not prepared for
this at all. What should he say to her? What should he not say to her? Silas did not have a clue at all!
“You go handle your task. Go!”
Conrad marched to them and ordered Silas to resume his task before holding Fia’s hand. Having trouble sleeping?”
Staring at Conrad, Fia could not help feeling something was obviously off. After getting married, Conrad had always
been kind and courteous to her. However, he was never this gentle and loving.
Something was not right. It had to be! Could it be that this had something to do with Britney. Thomas?
“Fia?” Conrad caressed her hand and asked, “Why the silence? Don’t tell me you’re in a trance just from standing
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhere.”
“No, I’m not in a trance. I’m just thinking about something.”
“What’s on your mind?” Conrad looked anxious, worried that she had regained her memory but was too
heartbroken to tell him.
Marcus had told him that extra care was needed to make sure that Fia did not experience unnecessary stress so
her condition would not worsen.
“Nothing.”
After staring at Conrad for a few seconds, Fia shook her head. However, it was clear she was troubled by something
but reluctant to tell him.
Conrad tightened his grip when he felt that she was trying to pull her hand away. “We are husband and wife. If
there’s something troubling you, please do tell me.”
Encouraged by his words, Fia mustered up her courage and asked, “Who is Britney Thomas?”
”

”
Conrad furrowed his brows upon hearing this question. He did not know how to relay the answer to her. After all,
she was experiencing a memory disorder at the moment so he was not sure if it was a wise thing to tell her
everything.
