Chapter 282
“Have you ever seen this man, Ms. Manning?” Silas asked coldly.
He could feel his heart harden whenever he thought about the accident. How Esme had a hand in it.
And his boss trusted her so much too!
“I do know him,” Esme said as she began to sweat. She realized that Conrad had found out about
something.
But she wasn’t stupid either.
“How do you know him?” Conrad’s eyes and voice were icy as he breathed in another mouthful from his
cigarette.
Esme carefully looked at him and then crouched down to look at the driver who was sitting on the ground.
“He’s the driver from my dad’s logistics company. He’s an old staff.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad raised his eyes and scanned Esme’s facial expression.
Silas asked anxiously, “Then, do you know that he’s the one who crashed into the madam and that she’s been
admitted to the hospital?!”
“Fia’s in the hospital? What happened?!” Esme asked with worry and stared at the driver. “You crashed into her?
Why did you crash into my cousin?!”
The driver was scared and he was terrified of Conrad back in the hospital.
However, he was well–prepared. He didn’t say anything else other than that he knew someone from the Manning
household.
Conrad and Silas thought that he was scared because he was hiding something, so they dragged him to Esme to
question her directly.
“Ms. Manning… It was an accident… I was delivering some goods this morning when the truck suddenly lost control.
I didn’t want to crash into them either!”
“My goodness!” Esme lost her footing and collapsed to the ground, her face pale.
“How could that have happened?! I already forgave Fia. Why would the gods treat her that way?!”
Her words made Silas very angry..
“What do you mean by that, Ms. Manning?! Are you saying that the madam deserves all of this?!”
“No! That’s not what I mean… I’m just… How is she doing? Is she still in the hospital? I should go visit her.”
She got up in a struggle and then fell toward Conrad.
She thought he would help her up.
Instead, he suddenly extended his hand and pushed her away.
She fell to the ground once again. “Conrad, do you think that I’m the one who got the driver to crash into her?”
“Do I?” Conrad’s eyes were so cold and it struck fear into her heart.
Esme shrank and cried as she shook her head. “I didn’t! I didn’t do anything! I’ll tell my dad about the
accident since it was caused by my dad’s logistics company. He’ll pay her for it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad suddenly became agitated and he bent down to grab the driver.
In his other hand was the cigarette butt that he had smoked halfway. He pressed the cigarette butt to his
face.
“Ah!” The driver screamed in agony as his entire body shook in terror. He was too terrifying! Why did he choose to
cross someone like him?!
“I’ll ask you one last time. Who told you to crash into her?”
“No… No one told me to! The truck lost control! It’s my fault… I’ll apologize… I’ll beg her for forgiveness…”
The driver in his fifties cried out without dignity.
Esme also cried and said, “Don’t be like that, Conrad! I’m sad that Fia went through that too! But it really is a
coincidence! Really!”
Conrad continued to press the cigarette butt on his face as his flesh and skin sizzled. The driver cried out and
begged for mercy.
“Sir…” Silas was getting worried. Conrad was losing control.
The cigarette was extinguished and Conrad flicked the ash off at Esme.
“Ah!” Esme screamed, trying to dodge. She then shook before crying out as if her parents were the ones
hospitalized.
