Chapter 353
“I want to see her.” Fia turned around and looked at Conrad, who was standing some distance away.
There was hatred in her eyes. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. I must see her!”
Detention facility.
Fia sought out Finn and asked to meet Esme alone.
The two of them sat in the detention room with a long table between them. Esme’s face was pale and her hands
were cuffed.
She looked at Fia’s healthy face and said, “You’re here.”
She smiled colder. “I knew you’d come here eventually.”
Fia held her hands tightly as tears and hate wove together in her eyes, blurring her sight.
“Why?”
“Why?” Esme cackled as she quaked, as if she had heard something hilarious.

were younger?!”
“I can!” Fia said as she used the back of her hand to brush her tears. “If I couldn’t, I would have retaliated the
moment you came back! Esme… I don’t owe you anything!”
“You gave up on him!” Fia said with her eyes red. “All those years ago when we first saw him being attacked at the
Maxwell’s residence, if I hadn’t dragged you to help you wouldn’t have even wanted to help him!”
Her voice turned sharp. “You kept on using his love for you to say that he belonged to you, that I was the one that
had my eyes on someone who belonged to you… But have you forgotten that I was the one who loved him first?
You’re the one who kept on ruining my reputation so that he would look down on me! You’re simply lying through
your teeth!
“Cousin… Have you ever considered all this from my perspective? You never did! How can you be so sure that you’d
be the one to end up being his childhood friend if it were not because of all your doings?!”
Esme stared at Fia with wide eyes. She had thought that Fia didn’t know what she did when she was with
Conrad.
“I know everything, but I never said anything about it and I never resented you. I watched you become his girlfriend
and I never wanted to expose you. I never told him about you and your teacher too!
“I used to bless the two of you… But you abandoned him!”
Fia’s words were strong and they were like thunder booming in Esme’s ears.
She shook her head as her face became even more pale. “You’re lying! He’s mine! He has always been mine! Even
if I left temporarily, he’s still mine! You can’t steal him from me!”
With that, Esme’s eyes became even more vicious and cold.
“Don’t you be so happy just yet! I won’t let you have him! Even if I have to go to hell I’ll take him back!”
Fia gave a smile and said, “Cousin… You no longer have the chance. You schemed against me multiple times and
killed my baby as well as the driver. With all the crimes you committed… All that’s waiting for you after this is life
imprisonment!”
She stood up, walked over, and stood next to Esme before raising her hand and slapping her.

“This slap… is for my child.”
She looked at her sorrowfully. “My child… My baby is innocent in all of this…”
“Hahaha! I curse you, Fia! You’ll never know love and you’ll never have a baby! You’ll be forever alone!”
The door opened and Finn came in with an icy expression on his face. He glared at Esme with an even icier
countenance. He then held Fia, who almost broke down and attacked her again.
“Don’t dirty your own hands, child. The law will punish her.”
Fia took in a deep breath and let go of Finn’s hand before leaving.
Conrad was smoking, his back against his car. He had just finished his second cigarette when he saw Fia walking
out. He put it out and walked over.
“Are you okay?”
Fia looked at him with a smile. “Are you happy now?”
Conrad could feel his heart skipping a beat when he saw how broken her smile was.
“Conrad… I explained to you many times, but you never believed me. How does it feel now that the truth is brought
to light?”
The two of them looked at each other under the scorching sun, but Conrad had never felt so cold before. She
looked at him with indifference. A callousness born out of disappointment.
