Chapter 706
“I want to sue him for defaming my wife!” Conrad said.
Finn and everyone else was speechless.
Conrad then said coldly. “He has no right to become a policeman with that attitude of his!”
Finn coughed awkwardly and said, “That’s your right. We won’t interfere. Now, back to the case.”
Conrad then looked at Britney coldly and said threateningly, “You better think twice about your explanation, Britney.
How did you fall off the bridge? And what did you say to my wife?”
Britney gulped. She didn’t even need to pretend to be afraid… She was genuinely fearful.
Finn slammed the table. “Careful with your attitude and stop threatening her!”
“I didn’t.” Conrad looked away and made a gesture for him to continue.
Finn then looked at Britney. “You said you were pushed down the bridge by Fia. Did you do or say anything that
provoked her?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I didn’t!” Britney said. “I was simply taking a walk alone at River Fane. She found me after she got out of the car
and began to yell and humiliate me.”
Finn asked, “How did she humiliate you?”
“She said that I’m shameless. Said that I seduced her husband.” Britney sobbed as her tears rolled down.” I didn’t
seduce Mr. Maxwell. He is a good man and a lot of women like him, especially at the company. But… I know that
they’re married, and I never wanted to destroy their family.”
Fia, who had been quiet all along, looked at Britney with a complicated expression, light glinting in her eyes. “I
wonder if the real Britney would do something like this.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re the one that pushed me into the river. If the policemen didn’t come
in time, I don’t know how much danger I’d have been in!” Britney stood up and yelled at Fia,
as if she was forced into a corner.
Fia chuckled. “You do look a lot like her.”
Finn coughed. “Fia, can you explain why you went to River Fane?”
Fia stared at Britney. She then explained how she had been waiting for Conrad at home, received a call from Esme,
pinpointed her location at River Fane, drove over, and saw a woman in a clown mask. She explained it all with a
tone so calm as if she was talking about the weather.
“You lie!” Britney screamed as if she was wronged and humiliated. “I didn’t call you pretending to be Esme! I didn’t
wear a mask to see you either!”
Fia looked at Britney and said, “Did I say that you’re pretending to be Esme?”
Britney froze. “That’s what you meant!”
“That’s because you have something to hide, right?” Fia said coldly.
Britney then argued back. “You’re crazy! You’re hallucinating everything!”
Fia frowned. She didn’t like anyone calling her crazy despite her emotions being quite unstable.
“Sally told me that you have some kind of emotional disorder, that you go crazy after you lost your children! You’ll
become crazy eventually if you continue like this!” Britney cried.
Conrad then threw a bottle of mineral water at her out of anger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Calm down!” Finn extended his hand to block the bottle and then said to Britney, “Stop saying something so
ridiculous!”
“I didn’t! She’s crazy! She finds enemies in everyone! I didn’t do anything and she’s already hostile toward
me!”
Fia gripped her hands tightly, trying hard to control her emotions.
So that she wouldn’t crumble. So that she wouldn’t pounce at Britney like a crazed lunatic.
“I. Am. Not. Crazy.” She said each word out loud. “I’m not hallucinating. I’m not lying. I still have the log on my
phone!”
Conrad took out her phone and gave it to her.
She tried to find the log and wanted to find the call that Esme made but realized that only Jason’s call remained in
the log.
“Where’s my log? Where’s my full log?!” She stared at Conrad.
Conrad realized something was wrong. He then took her phone and looked at the log. Esme’s call had disappeared.
“I didn’t touch your log, Fia.”
“My phone was with you, and you’re saying that you didn’t delete it?!” Fia stared at him with red eyes. Her negative
emotions burst out as she pounced on Conrad, trying to tear him apart.
