Chapter 758
Slap!!
Peter raised his hand and gave Esme a loud slap. He slapped her so hard that she felt dizzy from it. The edge of her
lips was bleeding.
“Why did you slap me?” Esme asked in a daze.
“So that you’ll wake up and stop dreaming!” Peter said in a cold voice, “It’s true that he wouldn’t hurt your parents.
But it’s not because of you. It’s because he doesn’t want Fia to see his dark, vicious side.”
Esme’s eyes rolled as she covered her swollen face.
No. No, that’s not it.”
She had had enough being controlled by Peter Hall! She had enough of his brainwashing! When she was together
with Conrad, Esme was so proud and free!
She regretted it so much! Why did she push him away and go overseas?! Why did she allow herself to be seduced

Indeed, after she had gone overseas, Esme was able to expand and grow her career quite rapidly. This was all
thanks to Peter providing her the resources.
But if she stayed and played the long game… Conrad could have given her all that fame and wealth too! She
regretted leaving him so much!
Look at Fia! She was doing so well! He gave her that project he forcefully obtained from Grandmother. He helped
her to produce everything that she designed. He even bought all the commercial slots on every media outlet to
market her products!
This nameless little b*tch had become so famous in such a short time!
And this all should have been hers! Hers!
Anger and hatred filled Esme’s eyes as she said, “Peter, don’t force me to leave you! I always have options other
than you!”
“What… You have options better than me?” Peter got down from the sofa and grabbed her by the throat, pulling
her all the way to the bathroom.
He pressed her face to the bathroom mirror and said, “Open your eyes and look carefully! Tell me who you are at
the moment!”
When Esme saw that innocent, lovely face in the mirror, she screamed like a mad woman and began clawing at
Peter’s face.
“It’s you! It’s all your fault!”
She hated Britney’s face so much! The more she carried that face, the more she hated it!
If she was still Esme, she could still stand a chance if she could make Conrad reminisce about the old days when
they were together.
Yet now, she had literally lost her face! What else did she have to compete with Fia?!
Peter pushed her to the bathroom floor and glared at her. “Don’t forget that your parents are still in my hands.
Even if they haven’t spilled the beans this time, they might the next time.”
Laying on the floor on her stomach, Esme laughed sarcastically. “Spill the beans? What beans? To them, I’m already

Peter squatted down to grab her chin and said, “You think your father doesn’t know?”
Esme widened her eyes and glared at him. “What do you mean by that?”
“Do you really think someone like him would obey my instructions and live a country life? If you really died, he
would probably feel relieved because then he would be free.”
“What do you mean?!” Esme repeated her question in a screech as she pushed Peter’s hand away. “How could my
father know that I’m alive?! It was your doing, wasn’t it?! Did you tell him that I am still alive?!”
“Oh, yes. I did.” An evil grin was carved on Peter’s face. It was as though he was a demon spawned from hell.
Esme recalled the time she was at Conrad’s villa. When she was about to drink that boiling, hot tea, her father
rushed to her and gulped down the tea without hesitation.
She knew her father. Hank Manning, her father, was a very selfish man. He would never show sympathy to a
stranger. So why did he grab that tea and drink it? Because he knew… He knew that she was his daughter.
