Chapter 358
When they reached the court’s gate, there was still an hour before the court was in session. She wanted to sit down on the steps but someone patted her shoulders.
She turned around and saw Jason.
“Why are you here, Evans?”
Jason was wearing a white shirt and green pants. After he removed his white coat, he looked so much colder.
Fia was surprised when she saw it. Suddenly, she realized that he did have the sblood as Conrad. He even looked a lot like him.
“Ms. Reid calledto say that you chere alone and wantedto keep an eye on you.”
“Eileen is such a worrywart. I can do this on my own.”
Jason didn’t ask why Conrad wasn’t with her. He simply said, “Ms. Reid also toldthat you hadn’t had your breakfast yet and there was still stbefore the court was in session. Let’s have some breakfast first?”

“Then let’s have breakfast together.” Fia looked around trying to find a cafe nearby.
Jason ordered something decaffeinated and ssnacks. He felt much better when he saw Fia eat something.
The two of them had just finished breakfast when a figure knelt in front of Fia. “I beg you! Seeing that we’ve treated you well in the past, please show Esmercy!”
It was Beth.
Fia was stunned. Before they were forced to reveal their intentions, her aunt had always looked like a noble. She would never act like this.
Beth raised her head and she looked haggard with tears all over her face.
“Please spare my Esme. I beg you, Fia…”
Fia didn’t know what to feel when she remembered how her aunt treated her when she was younger. Jason held her hand. “Don’t make yourself suffer.”
Fia snapped back to her senses. She looked at Beth. She knew that even if she begged her, there was nothing she could do.
She said nothing and headed to the court under Jason’s protection.
Beth couldn’t let her go just like that and wanted to pounce at Fia and pull her arm. Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulder and threw her.
Fia turned around when she suddenly heard a scream. She then saw Conrad looking down on Beth.
“Touch her again and you’ll miss your hand in the future!” And then, he ordered his people to pull her away.
Fia looked at him. She didn’t know if it was genuine or if it was all a show.
Meanwhile, Conrad looked at Jason with hostility. “Why are you here?!”
Jason didn’t want to drag this on with Conrad. He chere for Fia. It had nothing to do with others.
“Let’s go in, Fia.”
“Sure.”
Conrad held Fia’s arm with pain in his eyes.

Conrad let go immediately. “No, and I won’t.”
Seeing that people started to look their way, Fia blinked and then looked at him coolly. “When you see her later, will you pity her?”
“No. She deserves nothing less.”
Fia smiled coldly and said, “You sure? To be honest, I wish that you wouldn’t go in. If you don’t see her, you won’t be distracted. Only then will the case be seen through.”
“Why don’t you trust me!” Conrad felt humiliated. Was he that untrustworthy in her eyes?
“You loved her that much once, didn’t you?”
She paused. “Even if that baby wasn’t born safely, the baby was still alive. I won’t accept anything less. I don’t want peace between us.”
She could endure the pain Einflicted on her, but she would never accept peace for her child.
“Don’t think too much. I don’t intend to ask you to take a step back.”
Conrad looked at her with sincerity. He knew that what he did in the past made Fia distrust him. But still, he wanted to make it clear.
