Chapter 772
Conrad waved at the bodyguard. “Let him come over.
}}
Peter walked to Conrad and was stopped by the bodyguards.
“What do you mean by this!” Peter glared at Conrad with a gloomy gaze.
Conrad’s expression was dull as he said, “I asked you to come over, not go in.”
Peter was a little speechless. When the two of them met previously, they were both still considered gentlemanly
and polite to each other.
“Mr. Hall, I just wanted to ask you, where were you when something happened to your sister?” Conrad asked coldly.
“What happened to her?” Peter frowned.
“What happened?” Conrad suddenly felt that he had overestimated Peter.
At that moment, the door to Peter’s car which was stopped at the outside of the hotel opened, and Britney came

Conrad swept a glance at her swollen ankle and retracted his gaze.
“Mr. Maxwell, stop preventing Peter from seeing his sister. He has something important to say to her.”
Conrad turned and walked into the lobby of the hotel to sit down.
Britney and Peter were stopped by Tiger and the other bodyguards, so they weren’t allowed to
enter.
The vein on Peter’s forehead throbbed. “This isn’t your territory. What right do you have to. stop us from entering!”
Tiger had a cold look. “Things will end soon here.”
Peter was kept in the dark and he was just about to ask Tiger when he saw Fia supporting Sally as they came out of
the elevator.
“Sally!”
Hearing her brother’s voice, Sally stopped.
The siblings looked at each other, 100 meters apart, each having their own thoughts.
“Sally, if you don’t want to see them, we can leave from the back door.” Fia was being considerate of Sally.
“I’m fine.” Sally pulled away Fia’s arm and walked toward the entrance of the hotel with a poker face.
Fia immediately followed after. Seeing this, Conrad walked with her side-by-side, fearful that she would put herself
in danger on impulse.
Seeing Fia, Tiger also subconsciously got people to surround her, in case Peter and “Britney”, who were less than
humans, would suddenly cause some problems.
Seeing this, Peter and Esme felt as if Conrad and the rest were extremely on guard against them.
“Sally, you…”
“I don’t want to talk to you,” Sally interrupted Esme coldly. Her gaze, which was gentle but tough, was locked on to
Peter.
“Pete, why are you late?”
Peter saw Sally’s swollen face and there was nothing he couldn’t guess.
He suddenly glared at Esme who was by his side.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEsme was shocked by his gaze and explained aggrievedly, “I don’t know why Sally would be injured. We had agreed
to eat together and the atmosphere was fine initially. After she called me, she drank in sorrow and then got drunk.
“I helped her leave the restaurant but she suddenly woke up and scolded me for being shameless and snatching
her brother away!”
“Haha?” Sally laughed in extreme anger. “You mean that I pretended to act drunk to purposely trick you out of the
restaurant and then bullied you?”
Esme choked a little. “Sally, you have treated me well since I was young. I won’t blame you.”
Sally was so angry that her hands shook as she asked Peter, “Do you believe her?”
Peter met her gaze for two seconds before averting his eyes.
“Sally, you should have listened to me. You should have stayed home.”
Sally was speechless as she looked at Peter, stunned. Her feelings were extremely complicated.
It was very clear that her brother was avoiding the topic.
His avoidance was equivalent to protecting Britney!
Esme said while crying, “Sally, you have really misunderstood. I…”
“Shut up!” Sally’s voice was hoarse as she looked daggers at Esme and walked toward Peter.
