Chapter 286
“There are so many questions now but you still don’t suspect Esme at all?” Eileen looked at Fia who was lying in the
ICU ward through the glass. She pitied her.
The person who stole the evidence was dead. No matter how he died, all the stolen evidence was gone.
She felt so useless. She couldn’t do anything for Fia in the end.
“It’s getting late.” Conrad looked at his watch. “I’ll get you some dinner.”
“I don’t have any appetite at a time like this. If Fia wakes up and finds out she’s lost her child, I can’t imagine just
how regretful she would feel!”
“Do as you like,” Conrad said before turning to leave.
Eileen was so angry that she questioned him, “You’re leaving so soon?!”
Conrad stared at the woman lying in the ward.

“What else is there for you to do? You accompany Esme when she’s in the hospital, but you leave when it’s your
wife that’s in there!”
Conrad simply hastened his pace, not wanting to argue with her.
There were things that he needed to deal with before Fia woke up.
The Mannings.
The Mannings greeted Conrad with a smile when they were told of his coming.
Esme’s eyes were full of love as she moved next to him.
“Conrad… I knew you wouldn’t leave me alone.”
However, when her hand was about to touch him, he pushed her away.
“I’m not here for a tea party,” he said with an icy stare fixed on Hank.
Hank frowned as he stopped smiling.
“Is there something you need us to do? I told you that we won’t pursue the matter with Fia.”
“The driver that crashed the truck into her is from your logistics company. Do you have something you
want to explain to me?”
Hank gulped as his smile became earnest.
“I know about this. As the boss, I will also pay for Fia’s medical bills. I will also give Fia some compensation.”
“Mr. Manning, since when have you been so generous? He’s just a driver. Why are you paying him so much
attention?”
Conrad’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Hank without blinking.
“Oh, Conrad! I’ll be honest with you,” Beth said with a worried heart. “Ever since Esme hurt her hands overseas, I
told Hank to be more considerate. That driver has such a hard life, especially with a son so ill. Hank simply helped
him apply for the company’s financial aid, but something like this happened.”
Beth sighed. “Fia is also so unfortunate. Why did he run into her like that?”

Silas quickly placed the document on the coffee table and said, “Mr. Manning, this is something from Mr. Maxwell.”
Hank took the document and gave it a quick read. He was overjoyed.
“We didn’t misjudge you at all! I know that you’ll treat Esme well! Three years ago…”
“Mr. Manning.” Silas interrupted Hank’s thankful speech. “These things that Mr. Maxwell prepared for Manning
Corporation are meant to be the dowry for Ms. Manning.”
“Dowry?”
Hank and Beth looked at each other, confused. Wasn’t that something that they as parents were supposed to
prepare?
“Conrad? Did your secretary say it incorrectly?” Beth stared at Conrad. “He meant dowry, right?”
“He said everything correctly,” Conrad said icily.
The faces of the Mannings all turned pale with Esme starting to sob. “Conrad, what are you saying? I have parents.
They’ll prepare my dowry for me… There’s no need for you to bother about this.”
“The dowry is meant for you. I’m not telling you to marry me.” Conrad turned around and looked at Esme. He
wasn’t moved by her tears at all.
