Chapter 682
Tiger found his own thoughts somewhat laughable after hearing Conrad’s words.
“Yeah, that’s true. Who would be so foolish as to be someone else’s scapegoat?”
However, Conrad didn’t think so! People may not be foolish, but that didn’t mean they could stop the existence of
cunning and heartless individuals behind the scenes!
“Within three days, get me all of Miss Thomas and Esme’s medical records, from childhood to present!” Conrad
ordered.
Tiger was taken aback, but he quickly nodded in agreement. Just as Tiger left, Silas rushed back.
He leaned in closer to Conrad and whispered, “We’ve identified the sender.”
“Who was it?”
“Miss Thomas.

Silas was confused. “Why didn’t she put in more effort to conceal her identity before getting exposed?”
“Because she’s sitting on her high horse.”
“Huh?” Conrad’s answer only confused Silas even more, as he was unaware of what happened last night when
Conrad and Fia had encountered Britney during dinner.
Conrad didn’t have time to explain it to him as his phone started to ring. He glanced at the office before walking
further away and answering the call with a cold tone, “What’s the meaning of this?”
On the other end, a woman’s pitiful voice answered, “Mr. Maxwell, I didn’t mean to send you Esme’s photos and
labeled papers. I just wanted to know that the only person she truly loved was you. She carried those papers with
her when she went abroad and kept them under her pillow. I stayed at her place a few times, and she would take
them out daily to reflect upon them.
Conrad’s lips curled into a smirk, and he retorted, “You’re lying!”
“Mr. Maxwell, I don’t have any ulterior motives. I just want you to understand her situation when she was abroad.
No matter where she was, her heart had always belonged to-”
“Are you her?” Conrad interrupted. “Even if you are her, I won’t believe a word you say, and your words won’t
influence me to produce your desired effect!”
“Con-”
Conrad hung up the phone and returned to the office with a grim expression. Silas glanced at the door, and, seeing
that Conrad hadn’t given him any further instruction, left first.
“Who sent it?” Fia asked as she looked up, pen still gripped tightly in her hand.
Conrad frowned and said, “Britney Thomas.”
Fia gripped the pen tighter and broke it in half.
“Why did she send those to you?”
Conrad remained silent for a moment before replying, “As Esme’s friend, she sat on her high horse and wanted to
teach me a lesson.”
Fia stared at Conrad without blinking and asked, “Do you believe that?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheir eyes met, and Conrad couldn’t bring himself to lie to her, even if it was to comfort her.
“No. I don’t.”
“Then, what are your suspicions?” Fia asked as she stood from the table. Her hand grabbed the handle of the
drawer as she tried to maintain her calm.
A wave of helplessness and even exhaustion washed over Conrad. In the past few days, neither of them had
wanted to mention Esme, but she always seemed to be involved, and now, even Britney was.
Fia smiled bitterly at Conrad’s prolonged silence and said, “Doesn’t she remind you of Esme?”
Conrad frowned deeper.
“I had the same feeling. Back then, I even thought she deliberately wanted us to think she was Esme herself. But
today, I’m wondering if she really is her?”
Fia’s tone was gentle, but her eyes were numb and cold. She was the only one who could understand the emotions
in her heart. It was a mix of fear of knowing the truth and an anxious desire to uncover the mystery.
Conrad quickly walked to her and moved the chair away, intending to embrace her.
“Don’t touch me!” Fia quickly exclaimed. “I need some time to calm down!”
Conrad withdrew his hand and said, “Fia, we’ve come so far. Please don’t let a dead person affect us like this.”
Fia suddenly looked at him. “Is she really dead? Can you be absolutely certain that she’s dead now?” Conrad was
silent.
