Chapter 1042
Barbara took two deep breaths and tried to calm down, not wanting to appear too hideous!
“Tell me, where did Britney go? Why did you show up when it was she who invited Mr. Maxwell!”
“Hehehehhe.” Esme laughed like a madman. “What do you, as her sister, think?”
Barbara really did not wish for Conrad’s words to be the truth, that her kind and innocent sister had changed.
She was afraid that her sister already had thoughts of using her since she came back.
“Britney is kind. It must be you who threatened her! She is afraid of you. That’s why she helped you to invite Mr.
Maxwell!”
“Really?” The mockery on Esme’s face reduced substantially and she looked serious as she said lightly, “You used to
understand her. Do you understand her now?”
Barbara was slightly stunned.
Esme continued, “Since she intentionally appeared before you overseas, did you not have the least bit of suspicion?
She had so many injuries. How did she escape the hands of the bad guys? And so accurately found you?”
Tiger stood by the side, recording Esme’s words, and sent them to Conrad.
“Barbara, initially I really had no idea that the one you brought back was Britney. I really thought she was dead.”
Esme started to laugh. “Fate is truly making a fool out of her! She hates me, but still had to help me for the sake of
my plan. Hahahaha!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Impossible!” Barbara was not willing to believe her. “You’re spouting nonsense. You’re afraid that Mr. Maxwell will
put all the blame on you, so you are dragging Britney down with you!”
“If she was so innocent, why did she run faster than a rabbit after everything was done!” Esme looked enraged.
“She’s just a b*tch!”
Tiger thought that something was not quite right and asked, “Was it the person behind the both of you who wanted
you both to cooperate? Britney decided to leave you behind at the spur of the moment?”
“Yes!” The moment Esme thought of it, she was enraged. That b*tch was too cunning!
Barbara scolded her. “You’re the b*tch! You worked with Peter to harm Britney so badly. How could you still wish for
Britney to repay you with kindness for your wickedness!”
“Ha!” Esme looked calm. “Even if she ran, she won’t have good days ahead! Betraying our master means that
death is the only path waiting for her! And Master will only trust me more!”
She looked at Tiger. “Tell Conrad, if he wants to find Fia alive, then he has to properly
cooperate and play the game! Otherwise, he won’t even be able to find her body!”
At this moment, Conrad was sitting at the study table, watching his computer being controlled by someone else.
computer.
The mysterious person’s voice, which had been modified, slowly rang out from the “If you want your wife to be safe
and sound, you have to cooperate in this game.” Conrad gritted his teeth so hard that they almost chipped. “The
one you want is me. Just come
at me.”
“Hahaha, how meaningless would coming at you be! I want to personally ruin everything you have, just to make
sure you are in so much pain that you wish to die! Three days from now, I’ll let you see your wife. What do you
think?”
Conrad withheld the impulse to smash his computer. “What do you want me to do?”
“Release Ms. Manning. Bring her out and appear with her and openly profess your love to her. Three days later will
be the day of your marriage.”
Conrad clenched both fists tight, trembling uncontrollably, wishing to drag the person in the computer over and
strangle him to death!
“Remember, the show has to be acted out well. The more realistic, the better. If it doesn’t seem real, three days
later, you will not be able to see your wife.”
The person had just finished speaking when the screen of the computer turned dark and it
shut down.
Conrad got up angrily, took his computer, and smashed it on the ground. He smashed things up as if he had
gone mad.
“Master Maxwell…”
Mrs. Whitley and Mrs. Taylor heard the commotion from the first floor and immediately went upstairs.
Both of them ran anxiously, but could not open the door to the study when they reached it. So, they knocked on it

“Master Maxwell, open the door please!”
“Madam is still waiting for you to find her. You can’t collapse.”
“Yes, everything can be solved. Come out before speaking.”
Everything in the study was smashed until there was nothing left before the door finally opened.
Conrad came out with a cold expression, with sweat droplets falling from his forehead and the ends of his hair. He
looked extremely terrifying.
Mrs. Whitley and Mrs. Taylor subconsciously took a step back, feeling that he was very different from his usual self.
“…Sir.” Tiger had sent Barbara out and was just about to go up to see Conrad when he saw a

gloomy figure come down the stairs.
Conrad coldly spoke. “Let Esme go!”
“Sorry?” Tiger was unable to react in time.
“Get Silas to call for a press conference. Fia and I…” Conrad’s eyes were so red that they were bleeding. He
grabbed the railings tightly.
He calmed down for a couple of seconds before speaking again with much difficulty. “Our marriage was wrong from
the start. I have let her down. Miss Thomas and I are deeply in love and will have our wedding in three days.”
