Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 199
“That’s right, he’s my…”
Esme answered first.
“No.” Conrad cut her off.
The officer then asked, “You’re the one that called the police?”
Conrad said in front of her, “Yes. I’m the one that called the police. Just treat this as any other case. I
fainted when my wife was going downstairs. She was the only one with my wife at the time.”
The officers nodded. One asked and the other recorded.
“Then, Mr. Maxwell, your wife said she was pushed down the stairs?
No witnesses?”
“Please take Esme Manning back to the station for further questioning. Also, please send your
colleagues to my home for further investigation.”
“Sure. We’ve already sent someone over.”
Esme looked at Conrad in disbelief as her face became pale as a ghost.
“You… You called the police, Conrad?”
“Fia said that you pushed her down the stairs. While I’m not willing to believe it, I’ll let the police officers

“She’s crazy! How could I push her down? She’s depressed! Delusional! She’s accusing everyone of
wanting to harm her!” Esme’s words made the officers frown and they looked at Conrad,
“Mr. Maxwell, does your wife have some mental issues?”
Conrad frowned, wanting to refute it, but he knew that the officers

would find out either way.

When the two officers saw that he wasn’t willing to answer, they said, “We’ll find out the rest of the facts
through the investigation. Don’t you worry, Mr. Maxwell.”
“Alright, thank you.”
“Can we see your wife for a while? Since she’s the victim in this case, we want to ask her some
questions!”
When Fia heard some footsteps approaching, she woke up and instinctively stared at the door.
When she saw Conrad let two officers in, she still did not give any
reaction.
Conrad walked over and said, “Don’t be afraid. They’re just here investigating why you fell from the
stairs.”
“You called the police?” Fia looked at him in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that he called the police
instead of protecting Esme.
Conrad held her hand and realized that they were very cold. He then.
covered her hands in his.
“I told you I’m by your side. You’re my wife. She and I are just normal friends.”
Fia knew that they couldn’t get Esme for her falling off the stairs. However, what Conrad did made her
see his sincerity.
However, she didn’t want to just let this slip by. She couldn’t let Esme get away scot–free. She needed
to let the police investigate this, even if all she could do was raise a little suspicion over her.
She then said, “Leave us. I’ll explain to the officers myself.”
After Conrad left the ward, Fia then explained everything to them without lying.
The officers recorded them in detail and asked for confirmation. “So, the reason that you fell down the
stairs wasn’t because Ms. Manning pushed you? It was because you missed your step when she threw
a flowerpot at you when she was chasing you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes,” Fia answered with clarity.
The other officer, who hadn’t spoken a word, asked, “Why didn’t you make it sound more serious? It’ll
be more advantageous for you to do so.”
Fia frowned. She was no saint. She may be able to lie to Conrad, but she couldn’t ignore the law.
“That was how it happened. I knew that what she did couldn’t get her charged because I’m still here in
one piece. But I can’t make it sound more serious than it was, because that would be disrespecting the
law.”
When the two officers heard it, they removed their hats and bowed at her.
They were quite impressed with her.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Mrs. Maxwell. We’re impressed with what you did. We wish you a
speedy recovery!”
“Thank you.”
“Now, we must investigate your home.”
After the officers left, Conrad went into the ward.
He looked at Fia curiously. “Why can’t I listen in?”
