Chapter 1082
As Esme reveled in her victory, Fia gripped her spanner and whacked at the wench’s back. Not expecting the
retaliation, Esme fell to the ground, panting for air.
Fia quickly got on her and raised her spanner again with a cold smirk.
“If Aunt Echo sees this from the afterworld, she would be deeply saddened!” Esme shouted. Fia froze when she
heard her cousin mentioning her mother. Indeed, no matter how difficult. life was, her mother would always soldier
on and keep her soul pure.
Even when she was dying, Echo did not resent and hate Beth and Esme. She even hoped that Fia would find a way
to get along with them.
Noticing Fia’s hesitation, Esme saw hope of getting out of this alive. She said, “My mom is dead too. You and I are
women without mothers! If my mom and Aunt Echo learned about us. fighting to the death like this, they would be
very disappointed!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia’s hand shook when she heard this. She knew her mother very well, so she knew Esme was speaking the truth-
that her mother would be very disappointed in her.
Esme kept on pressing for her empathy. “Fia, no matter how much I hurt you, I’ve never wanted you dead!”
Suddenly, a cold smirk crept onto Fia’s face. Then, she directed the spanner in her hand straight at Esme.
“Aaahh!” Seeing this, Esme cried out in fear.
Yet, the spanner did not hit her. Instead, it hit the ground next to her face in a loud clang.
“How could you say that in a straight face? You’ve tried to murder me so many times. Each time you did it with full
intent of wanting me dead. It wasn’t because of you letting me live that I’m still alive right now. I’m still alive
because I have the fortune and strong will to keep on living!”
Fia spoke agitatedly as she kept on hitting the ground with her spanner. She hit the ground so hard that a hole
formed from the numerous impacts from her weapon!
She really wanted to whack Esme’s head into a bloody mush. This cousin of hers had forfeited the good relationship
from their blood ties. Why should she not retaliate in kind?! They were now sworn enemies!
Esme began feeling a paralyzing fear as she saw the cold, eerily murderous intent in Fia’s eyes. She said to her in a
shaky voice, “Fia, aren’t you afraid of your mom haunting you in your sleep if you do this?!”
“Haunting me? Why me? It should be your mom haunting you!” Fia retorted in disgust, “To live an extravagant life,
you let your mother die!”
“Don’t be silly! It was you who hit my mom! She died because of you!” Esme yelled, “Conrad was disgusted by your
antics! This was why he released the video of you murdering my mom online!”
Her words were so sharp and hurtful that it felt as though they were knives stabbing at Fia’s heart.
“Fia, you’ve lived such a pathetic life! You’ve secretly loved him for years. You even got pregnant for him several
times. Yet, he never cared about you! Hahaha! He even reported you to the police! Don’t you know? The police are
looking for you right now! You’ll pay for killing my mom!”
“No! It’s you! That’s all you!”
Fia was so angry that she was about to hit Esme with the spanner again.
Suddenly…

A loud bellow could be heard nearby. Several police officers approached them, aiming their pistols at Fia.
“Put down that spanner! Put it down now!”
Glancing at them, Fia smirked. “What a bunch of blind, phony hypocrites!”
She did not care anymore. All she wanted to do now was whack Esme’s head to pieces. Just then, she felt a sting on
her arm. Then, a numbness began to spread from the sting. A police. officer had fired a sedative shot at her.
Seeing the spanner fall to the ground, Esme quickly shoved Fia to the side and hurried to the police.
“Arrest her quickly! She murdered my mom! Now she wants to murder me!”
Officer Wilfred Thomas lowered his gun and glowered at Esme coldly, “Who’s your mom, Britney Thomas?”
Esme’s eyes widened in a panic before stuttering, “I… I mean… I mean Esme’s course.”
mom, of
Giving her a cold smile, Wilfred showed her an arrest warrant. “Hank Manning has confessed that you’re not
Britney Thomas-that you’re actually his daughter, Esme Manning! Ms. Manning, you’re under arrest. You’re
suspected of several murders.”
“No, it’s impossible!” Esme shouted in anger, “I’m not Hank Manning’s daughter! He would never say that!”
Her father had even been willing to take the blame and receive the sentence on her behalf. He would never do this
to her!
