Chapter 287
“I’m telling you to find someone to marry, but that person won’t be me.”
“But we’re already engaged. The entire Gryphon knows about it…”
“A marriage can be broken and a divorce can be undone. The relationship between a man and a woman. can be
very complex and doesn’t follow any rules!” Silas said. He got annoyed just looking at the three of them. “Mr.
Maxwell had helped the Manning Corporation and Ms. Manning plenty of times because of their past relationship.
Please don’t force things!”
“Shut up, Silas! This is between me and Conrad! There’s no place for you here!” Esme said to Silas angrily.
Conrad took in a deep breath. “I don’t want to reveal who you are. It’ll make things very distasteful.”
He took out his phone and said, “What Silas is saying is what I wanted to say as well. Take a look at this,
Esme.
The phone then played a video as he put it on the coffee table. The Mannings could see it clearly.

and blamed Fia for it.
As the video was being played, it revealed just how vicious Esme was!
“You… investigated me?” Esme asked in disbelief.
Conrad closed the application and then put the phone back into his pocket.
“I trusted you too much in the past. I never thought of investigating you.”
That was how he hurt Fia and made her disappointed time and again.
How he made her lose her gentleness and patience toward him.
Even if the two didn’t have any kind of love for each other, they needed trust and respect in their marriage. His
doubts must have hurt Fia.
To the point that he didn’t know how to fix it.
The atmosphere hung heavily over them before Beth raised her head and shouted, “You can’t blame her for what
happened! It’s all Fia and her mother’s fault for plotting things! She wanted to marry you as soon as Esme left the
country! Esme was hurt by that! So what if we yelled at her?”
“Is yelling all you did?” Conrad’s amber eyes looked at Beth. “I wonder what else happened that wasn’t captured by
a security camera?”
He then turned and glared at Esme. “Do you have something to personally tell me?”
Silas continued, “Ms. Manning, if you confess it, Mr. Maxwell might forgive you for old time’s sake!”
Esme’s hands trembled as she looked at Conrad with tearful eyes.
“Do you think that I’m the one who hired someone to get Fia into an accident and lose her baby?”
“Did you do it?” Conrad asked dispassionately.
“No!” Esme sobbed. “How did I become a person that does something like that in your heart?!”
“You would sob in front of me every time, saying that Fia was bothering you. However, every time I turned
my back, you would curse her. You would make me see that you got injured in the hospital multiple times. just so
that I would think she hurt you!” Conrad’s voice became louder and louder as his eyes became
harsher and harsher.

Esme shook her head instinctively. “No! I didn’t! It wasn’t me that time!”
“You don’t give up until the final moment, do you? Esme?” Conrad looked at her with disappointment and extended
his hand toward Silas.
Silas gave him a piece of paper.
Conrad then threw the paper on Esme’s face.
“Open your eyes and read the testimony carefully!”
Esme grabbed the paper as her eyes were filled with disbelief. “No… It wasn’t me… I didn’t! I don’t know these
people!”
“You still want to argue with me? I already had someone restore the missing data on Lola’s phone!”
It was as if Esme heard something collapsing.
She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but she knew that there were too many things on Lola’s phone. If
they were really restored, there was nothing she could say.
However, she had ordered the person to completely destroy all the traces on Lola’s phone.
How did they recover it?
