Chapter 288
“Are you trying to lie to me, Conrad? Lie to me despite our long relationship for Fia? You want to force me to admit
to something I never did?”
Esme’s tears continued to flow as she sobbed pitifully.
Conrad simply stared at her as the discomfort within him became stronger.
Even Silas felt disgusted and couldn’t help but say, “What are you trying to say, Ms. Manning? Didn’t Mr. Maxwell
treat you well enough? If you didn’t fake all those scenes whenever you fought with the madam. and we discovered
it, would we even suspect you?!”
“I didn’t!” Esme painfully denied it. “The car accident that Fia’s involved in has nothing to do with me.”
She then stood up and said, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll kill myself to prove my innocence!”
She turned around and pretended to want to ram into the wall. Hank and Beth quickly stopped her.
The old couple glared at Conrad angrily.

Beth said, “Esme came back from overseas for you and gave up on her future! How can you insult her like that?!”
“She wants to commit suicide?” Conrad looked away coldly as he remembered how Fia would sneer at him saying
how fake Esme was whenever she hurt herself.
He turned and looked at Esme with those pair of icy, amber eyes.
“If you want to die that much, why don’t you do it properly for once?”
After watching all the playbacks of those videos, he wanted to see if Esme really wanted to die or simply
wanted to scare him.
Esme looked at Conrad in disappointment and despair as she lost her footing and sat on the ground.
“Goodness! Esme, your eye!”
“It’s bleeding! Send her to the hospital!”
The old couple screamed in nervousness.
No matter how well she was disguising it, Esme’s sorrow was not fake. Her tears from her injured right eye were
made of blood.
“Stop them,” Conrad said coldly.
Silas walked over and stopped them from leaving. “None of you can leave until Mr. Maxwell is finished. with his
business!”
The three of them looked at Conrad shocked. Only then did they realize that, just as the people of Gryphon had
said, he really had what it took to become a demon.
But he was not done yet.
Silas pushed the three of them into a sofa and a bodyguard dragged a woman into the mansion.
The woman was wearing a nurse’s outfit. Two of her buttons had been torn and it was very obvious that she was
scared.
“Mr. Maxwell.” The bodyguard respectfully greeted Conrad before pushing the woman toward the sofa.
Conrad went to her and bent over, and his amber eyes stared at her.
“Explain.”

“I said, explain!”
“I will, I will!” Lola said as she trembled. She gave Esme a quick glance before confessing hastily with her
head low.
“The night you came to my mom’s shop to find Fia, I did something to you. I wanted to…” She then bit her lips as
she continued. “Afterward, Ms. Manning came. She used it to force me to go against Ms. Fia. My cousin is a
gangster and he has a bunch of gangster friends that will do anything for money. I introduced. Ms. Manning to
them.
“Afterward, Ms. Manning offered them 300 thousand dollars to kidnap Ms. Fia, sleep with her, and then get rid of the
baby.”
Esme stared at her with wide eyes. “No! You’re making things up! I didn’t do anything like that!”
Hank and Beth looked at her with shock. To them, their daughters might have some temper, but she was at least
quite understanding and caring toward them.
They couldn’t accept what Lola was saying.
Esme pounced at Lola and said, “You’re making things up! I never told you to hurt Fia! Why are you doing this?! It’s
you… You didn’t get to sleep with Conrad that night so you wanted to deal with Fia first before dealing with me!”
