Chapter 1004
Britney looked away. “What if Conrad wants to help Esme? What should we do?”
Barbara recalled Fia’s suggestion. “Then we’ll ask Finn for help! The Parkers owe me, and I’ll tell him everything! If he still has a heart, he will help us!”
Britney shook her head. “Barbara, I don’t want to drag you into this.”
Barbara wrapped her arms around her. “You’re not dragginginto anything. That woman knows how to get on our parents’ good side. If this continues, she’ll eventually take over everything that our family owns. I can’t let that happen!”
When Britney thought about her father, she asked, “Dad… Didn’t hesitate in accepting her asat all?”
“Ha! It’ll be weird if he grew suspicious at all. He wished both of us would put profit first even since he was little. Esme… She suits his every expectation!” As Barbara said that, she logged into her home’s security system through her phone and deleted the footage without raising any alarm.
Around nine at night, Eremained awake waiting for Mr. Thomas to return home.

“Why are you hso late tonight, Dad? Are you tired?”
“You’re the best, unlike Barbara. She has never been this considerate!”
After Mr. Thomas sat down, Elimped away in front of him.
“Dad, you must be tired. Do you wantto give you a massage?”
“It’s fine. What’s with your legs?” he asked.
“When I was coming hearlier tonight and stopped my car, someone covered my head. with a bag and draggedinto the bushes and hit me,” Esaid pitifully.
Mr. Thomas was angered. “What is the meaning of this?! I’ll check and see who did that!”
He immediately took out his phone and used theto log into the residence’s security system. He muttered, “Strange… Why is footage around eight at night gone?”
Epretended to be shocked and said, “What happened? Don’t tellthey could event access our home’s security system?”
Mr. Thomas was immediately suspicious of Barbara. ‘Why did she do that?’
Didn’t she love her sister the most?
What was the reason behind her doing this?
When Esaw that everything was going as planned, she slowly said, “Dad, there’s something I need to tell you. Promiseyou won’t be mad.”
He nodded. “I promise.”
“Didn’t Barbara bring back a strange woman? Mom was unhappy so she said something to her, and she then moved out together with that woman.
Ewas thinking that if she couldn’t make Mr. Thomas act against Fia because Conrad was behind her, then she would make him act against Barbara!
Once he was completely disappointed in Barbara, she would be able to take control of the entire Thomas estate!

“Dad, have you ever heard of lesbians?” Ecarefully said to him.
Mr. Thomas’s eyes opened wide. “I’ll kill her myself if she’s one of those people!”
“Dad, Barbara always has her own opinion. Maybe we can just let her do what she wants this time?”
“Never!” Mr. Thomas stood up and immediately ran upstairs to find his wife.
Mrs. Thomas was changing the bed sheets in Esme’s room. When she saw her husband walking over with a sour face, she asked, “What happened? Things didn’t go well at work?” “It’s your daughter!” Mr. Thomas grabbed a pillow and threw it at her.
“What did I do?” Mrs. Thomas said, stunned.
“Tell her to cback right now! I was wondering why she wanted a divorce from Finn after marrying him! That she could abandon everything the Parkers had to offer so easily! To think that she likes women all along… This is so shameful!”
Mrs. Thomas felt her heart sink. “How did you even end up with such a ridiculous conclusion?” “Ridiculous? Didn’t you find it strange that she brought that woman back? She doesn’t even love her sister as much anymore! She’s completely blinded by her own lust!”
Originally, Mrs. Thomas didn’t believe him. But she began to panic after hearing what her husband had said.
“I’ll call Barbara and ask her about it.”
Mr. Thomas nodded. “Tell her to cback! If she’s not willing to listen, tell her to break away from our family herself!”
