Chapter 289
“Ah!” Lola was scratched on the face and a bloody wound immediately made its appearance.
“Continue,” Conrad simply said in a terrorizing tone.
Silas walked over and pulled Esme away so that she couldn’t stop Lola.
“When I saw Fia that day at the hospital, I was thinking of getting her into the van. But… I don’t know why but Fia
suspected me and offered me something so I changed my mind and told my cousin to stop.”
Conrad raised his hand and massaged his head.
He remembered. Fia invited Lola to dinner that day.
His feelings were a bit complex. In order to deal with someone else, she had used him to seduce other
women.
How could she be that generous? Did she not care about him? Her husband?
“Ms. Manning didn’t pay anything to us afterward because she blamed us for not being able to finish the job, so
after Fia had paid a deposit, I told my cousin to find a way to make her confess her schemes. But maybe because
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey felt that they had been toyed with by Ms. Manning, they made their own decision to teach Ms. Manning a
lesson.
“Fia didn’t know about this. It has nothing to do with Fia.” Lola sobbed after she finished.
She then knelt down in front of Conrad and begged, “Mr. Maxwell, I… I admit that I was tempted, but I had no other
way! If Ms. Manning spread the evidence of me trying to seduce you, what will happen to my reputation? I’ve
always been a good girl in front of my family. They’ll never forgive me!”
“Get away!” Conrad said as he looked at Esme with disgust.
“Do you want proof? All the data in Lola’s phone had been restored. Do you want to take a look?”
Esme shook her head and said, “No! These are all made up! They’re slander!”
Conrad stood up and glared at her before saying to Silas, “Have Tiger send her to the station along with. all this
evidence.”
Tiger was the bodyguard that dragged Lola there.
Silas was stunned. He didn’t expect his boss to be so decisive this time.
She was his first love!
“Sir, are you sure?”
Conrad gave him a frigid glare and Silas shuddered.
“Of… Of course. Tiger, take the woman away!”
“Understood.” Tiger nodded. He was a large and bulky man. One of his hands held the documents and the other
grabbed Esme’s arm tightly.
Hank and Beth had just wanted to stop them as they got back to their senses when a group of policemen ran in.
The two of them were shocked as they froze in their tracks.
When Hank saw Assistant Director Manning revealing himself from the back, there was a glint in Hank’s
eyes.
“Why are you here, little brother? Please, save Esme!”
Assistant Director Manning gave Hank a cold look. He wanted to say something but in the end, he swallowed it all
down.
He quickly walked over to Conrad and said, “Mr. Maxwell, leave her to my subordinates and they’ll take her back to
the station. There’s something I need to discuss with you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad narrowed his amber eyes and said, “Don’t forget who you are, assistant director.”
“You misunderstand me. Since I’ve chosen to become a police officer, I will always remember my identity. I won’t
let my personal relationship get in the way of work!”
“Tiger, leave her to his men.”
Tiger did as he was told. A police officer ran over and cuffed Esme.
“Why are you handcuffing me?!” Esme screamed as she looked at Conrad in disbelief. She didn’t believe
that he would be so aloof about this.
“The evidence matches the crime. You hired them to hurt Mrs. Maxwell,” Assistant Director Manning said with pain
on his face. “Why couldn’t you have just stayed overseas and remained a pianist? Why must you come back?!”
Conrad frowned when he heard that.
“Why did I come back?” Esme looked at Conrad in pain. “You don’t know? Conrad, do you really not know why I
came back?”
Conrad became agitated as he inserted his hand into his pocket and held the cigarette box there tightly.
“I never thought that after coming back home from so far away, all I would get is my most beloved man sending
me into prison himself!” Esme cried as tears mixed with blood rolled down her right eye.
