Chapter 950
Barbara was stunned.
Britney removed her mask in front of Barbara, revealing her horrific face.
She simply said indifferently, “Dad has always been a selfish man.”
Barbara’s eyes became wet. She knew of it, of course.
“If Esme could benefit him somehow, he would probably refuse to acknowledge me as a daughter with this
disfigured face of mine, right?” Britney said as she looked at her. “That’s why after I managed to escape, I didn’t
dare to come back at first. I only showed myself to you after following you for a few days.”
She didn’t even trust her sister. She would never trust her parents that had cared little about her since she was
little.
Barbara couldn’t bear to see her upset and said, “Don’t think like that. We are related to our parents by blood. No
matter how bad they are, they’ll always love us.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Do you even believe what you just said?” Britney let out a cold smile. “I don’t.”
Barbara felt that after experiencing so much, her sister had changed.
She had never had a good relationship with her parents since she was young, especially with her selfish father. That
was why she didn’t want to take over his small company.
Her sister was the one that kept on consoling her, saying that blood was thicker than water.
But now, even she didn’t believe it herself.
“It’s fine. Let’s not talk about it,” Britney said as she skinned a grape and ate it. “It really is very sweet, but it no
longer belongs to me.’
“Britney…”
“I want to move out.”
“This is your home! Why are you moving out?!”
“Barbara…” Britney took her cap off, revealing a pair of tearful eyes. “Staying here right now is just another form
of torture.”
Barbara instantly understood when she remembered Esme’s existence.
Barbara then said, “Just wait, Britney. I’ll get rid of her from this family! I’ll take back everything that’s yours!”
“Britney, who’s the girl in the black outfit that hid her face?” Peter asked Esme calmly.
Esme looked at his injured left hand and felt that he was not as dangerous anymore. She said, “Barbara’s friend.
She came to her for help because of domestic abuse.”
Peter recalled that woman’s figure. “Is that so?”
“What is it? The Thomases had been complaining about her the whole time because she didn’t even dare to show
her face, but you’re okay with her?” Esme said mockingly. “Don’t tell me you see yourself in her?” “What do you
mean?” Peter suppressed his anger so he could learn more.
When Esme saw that he wasn’t enraged, she put on a brave face and said, “The first time I saw her, I felt the same
kind of feeling I felt from you all those years ago. Something repressed.”
Peter frowned.
Esme continued, “Why are you paying so much attention to her? Don’t tell me you’re developing feelings for her?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPeter let out an icy smile. “What? You’re worried?”
“Of course, I am,” Esme said as she bent forward and caught his arm, with half her upper body on him. ” You’re the
only one that I can depend on now. If you fall in love with someone else, then all that’s waiting for me is death.”
Peter pushed her away. “Stop acting!”
“I’m not acting, Mr. Hall! I’m telling the truth,” Esme said pitifully.
Peter loosened his necktie, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her back.
“You leaked my information to Conrad and now you say that you love me and have to depend on me? Ha! Do I look
like a fool?”
Esme’s expression changed as she looked at Peter in disbelief. Disbelief that Conrad would tell Peter about it.
She had risked her life to make that peace offering to him! Why would he treat her like that?!
“What are you thinking?” Peter glared at her with murderous intent. “You want to use Conrad to eliminate me? So
that you can be with him?”
Esme shook her head. She had just wanted to say something when Peter pushed her away.
Her head slammed into the car door but she was too scared to say anything else.
