Chapter 938
Lowering her gaze, Fia paused for a moment before saying, “Then we have the senemy.’ Barbara nodded. “Yes. This is also why I’m here to see you.”
“You’re here to askfor help, my husband’s help.”
“Yes, I am.”
Fia smirked mockingly. “Don’t you know what kind of relationship my husband has with my cousin?”
Barbara and Britney were surprised to hear this. They did not know how to respond to her question.
“They were each other’s first crush. They will never forget each other. Ifand Eclash, I can’t even be sure if my husband would choose to side with me. Why’d you think he’d help you?” Fia replied with a self-loathing smile.
Barbara looked at Britney before saying to Fia apologetically, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. It’s just… I’m out of options now.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia smiled at her. The Thomas sisters could not convince her to help.
Britney, who was quiet all this while, suddenly said, “You’re carrying Conrad Maxwell’s child.” Fia frowned and looked at Britney warily. “What do you mean?”
“He had married you, slept with you, and allowed you to carry his baby. This means that, at the very least, he has sfeelings for you. Don’t you want to wager on that?” Britney said gloomily.
Fia stared at Britney as she recalled Sally describing how innocent and bubbly she was in her youth. After surviving a huge betrayal from her crush, she was now physically and mentally scarred.
Her soul had to have gone through a huge, grim change from this experience.
This reminded Fia of Peter. He was a good person once. He was a good son and brother in the Hall family. Yet, he had morphed into a soulless demon.
Even though the exact experience between these two vary, Peter and Britney were probably mentally scarred beyond repair.
“Britney.” Fia called out to her, referring to her with her real name. “Is your soul still fine?”
Britney’s body trembled upon hearing this.
After escaping from that abyss of endless torment, she finally met her sister. Both of them talked a lot on their journey back home. Yet, she had never asked her about the wellness of her soul.
Clenching her fists, Britney raised her voice. “Miss Fia! Are you going to help us or not?!”
Fia looked at her calmly, not saying a word. Losing her patience, Britney got up from her seat and glared at her. “If you’re just going to let them push you around like this, no one’s going to sympathize with you when sh*t hits the fan!”
Fia blinked and stared at the girl before her. “I don’t need anyone’s sympathy.”
“You…!” Britney clenched her teeth and retorted in anger, “You’re so weak, fragile, and helpless! Do you think you can protect your baby like this? Aren’t you afraid that EManning is trying to kill you and your baby?!”

“It’s not like she hasn’t done it before! I think you know just how cruel and heartless Eis! As long as she’s alive, she’ll always cup with something to ruin everyone’s lives! You’ve lost two babies
because of her! If you don’t…”
“Britney!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBarbara interrupted her sister anxiously, worried that her words would trigger Fia’s trauma.
However, Fia only responded with a smirk, appearing unaffected. “I see you’ve done your homework.”
Barbara felt so remorseful that things turned out like this. She apologized earnestly. “I’m really sorry. We didn’t mean to hurt you. We didn’t bring this up to mock you…”
“Get out!” Fia interrupted Barbara coldly.
She was no fool. The Thomas sisters had done their homework and knew her deepest scar. They knew about it yet they still brought it up.
This meant that they did not have any respect for her at all.
If they had no respect for her, what was the point in joining forces?
Besides, she loved Conrad. She had loved him for so many years. She had gone through so much yet she did not intend to leave him at all.
This was why she could not trust Britney. Although she felt bad for her, there was no way she could trust her. If they worked together to take on Peter and Esme, it was quite likely for Britney to forgive Peter if he were to appeal to and manipulate her feelings.
When that happened, the tables would be turned and Fia would be completely surrounded by enemies!
Barbara said anxiously, “Fia, please don’t be angry. My sister’s been through a lot so, she’s emotionally unstable. She said those because she’s getting anxious.”
