Chapter 933
Taking a deep breath, Barbara said, “I mean, you know very well he never loved you. Yet, why do
you insist on marrying him? Did you use some underhanded means to force him to marry you?”
“No… I didn’t…” Esme stuttered as she tried to explain.
Barbara continued scolding her sternly, “You shouldn’t have gotten near him! Although he seems like a nice guy,
Peter survived and recovered from that incident that happened to the Halls. He’s more than he lets on! If forced to
a corner, he would get mad and resort to extreme measures to get what he wants!”
Esme stared at Barbara speechlessly. Barbara loved her sister a great deal, did she not? Then why did she not
seem bothered when she saw that she was almost choked to death? She even scolded her. Why?
“Sigh. Forget it. You’re blinded by love so you won’t listen anyway.” Barbara suppressed her anger and hatred for
Peter and Esme, and said to the maid, “Send Britney to the hospital for a checkup.”
“Yes, Miss Barbara.” The maid obliged with the order.

“She’s a friend of mine. Misfortune befell her a while ago so I brought her along on my vacation to find a doctor to
help her.”
“I see.”
The girl in black noticed that Esme was staring at her. So, she flicked her hair to the back and revealed her burned
skin.
A hint of disgust flashed in Esme’s eyes when she saw it. She thought, ‘How could Barbara befriend someone this
ugly? I thought she had good taste from her rich life experience! Why did she befriend this monster? Is she trying to
be a saint or something?’
The next morning, Fia lied on the bed and stared at the ceiling after breakfast while Conrad resumed his work next
to her.
A knock came. When the door opened, it was revealed to be Sally, who pushed a cart of tools into the private ward.
“Remain on the bed, Fia. I’m here to change your bandages.”
Fia stared at Sally as she lied on the bed. When their eyes met, Sally gave her a bitter smile and asked, “Why are
you staring at me?”
“Are you alright?” Fia asked. She had trouble sleeping last night.
Opening up her bandages, Sally said to her while observing her wound, “Still doing fine.”
Letting out a sigh of relief, Fia lightly pulled on her clothes and whispered, “I’m sorry, Sally.” Sally shook her head
and replied, “Don’t say that.”
Conrad put his document aside and took a good look at them.
Lightly pressing on the wound, Sally asked, “Does it hurt?”
“It does.”
“Does it hurt as much as yesterday?”
“Not as much.”
“Good.” Sally finished bandaging Fia’s wound before looking at Conrad.
“Mr. Maxwell, would you kindly purchase a medicine for me? The name of the medicine is…”

Conrad nodded without hesitation.
After sending Conrad away, Sally looked at Fi and frowned. “Did you send those documents to me behind his back?”
“Yes, I did.”
Fia admitted right away, not wanting to hide anything from her.
Sally continued, “Are you trying to get back at the fake Britney behind Conard’s back?” “Not really.”
Fia seemed conflicted when answering that question.
“Is your husband that untrustworthy to you?” Sally was worried that Fia would do something rash. “Although my
brother had indeed done a lot of heinous things in the past, I believe there’s still some good in him. Without his
sacrifice, me and my parents wouldn’t be living as comfortably as we do today.”
Furrowing her brows, Fia recalled just how evil and cruel Peter was to her.
“I suppose there’s always two sides to a person.”
“Fia, I know Conrad cares a lot about you. You can always talk to him if you need something done.”
Fia kept silent as she lowered her gaze.
Sally continued, “If the fake Britney really is Esme Manning, then she’s not a foe to be taken lightly. She’s able to
even play my brother like a toy. This shows just how cunning and resourceful she is.”
