Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 220
When they were on their way back from Koi Gardens to the hospital, the two of them didn’t speak to each other.
Conrad carried Fia back to her ward in the hospital, but there was already someone sitting there.
“Conrad…”
Esme looked at Conrad carrying Fia with teary eyes. She tightened her hands and cursed at Fia to die sooner than later in her mind.
Conrad looked at her with a frown before putting Fia back on the bed. and he said in a frosty demeanor, “Didn’t I tell you not to come here and disturb Fia?”
“I have something important to tell you. It’s very important. I’ve been waiting for an hour, and I didn’t even eat breakfast.”
Fia raised an eyebrow as she lay on the bed. She sighed. ‘Here we go again. She’s trying to act pitiful to get more attention.’
“What is it?” Conrad sat next to the bed and said to her coldly.
Esme kept on acting and said, “After what happened to Eileen, I don’t know how they did their investigation but they pinned it on me. Your cousin then started to attack my dad’s business and he lost
businesses worth millions in just one morning. He got angry and hit me.”
She paused and then placed her left hand on her right, sobbing. “Fia, I know that you’re best friends with Eileen and she never liked me. She would verbally abuse me every time she saw me. But I’m
innocent and didn’t do anything to you…”
“Can you take this outside?” Fia cut her off icily. She was bored of the same old act, and it was getting disgusting too.
Conrad gave Fia a glance and said, “No. I won’t. You’re going to misinterpret things.”
Fia was speechless.
He was right. But Esme disgusted her when she was around.
Conrad could see the agitation in her eyes, and so he said to Esme, You know whether you did it or not. If you did, apologize to the people
involved.”
“You don’t believe me, Conrad?”
Conrad didn’t want to talk to Esme about it. He only said, “You and Sapphire are good friends. You can ask her for help.”
Esme was shocked and saddened. It was the first time he was being so adamant that he would not deal with something for her.
“Conrad, I don’t care if other people don’t believe me, but how can you
not believe me? I’m…”
“You’re so annoying!” Fia sat up by pulling herself up using the bed head as she stared at Esme with a dark expression on her face, who was still trying to sell how miserable she was.
“You know better than anyone whether you took that video and whether you posted it!”
She went to that bar frequently with Esme in the past. She knew where it was with just one look at its interior decorations.
“That night, Eileen saw you at the bar drinking. You two saw her with Victor. From my understanding of your character, I can confirm that you did it. Unless you’re implying that he took the video?”
Fia glared at Conrad before looking at Esme. “Admit it if you did it, alright? He already found out that you did it and you’re still trying to
worm your way out!” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“I…” Esme gritted her teeth and wished she could shred Fia’s mouth to pieces. Why did she want to say things so clearly? So that Conrad wouldn’t give her another chance?
“Enough. I can’t help you with this. Go apologize to them yourself.” Conrad’s tone was firm. “Since the Maxwells and the Mannings do have a relationship with each other, if you apologize wholeheartedly, Victor won’t go overboard with it.”
Fia smiled mockingly. “And here’s why I’m thinking that you’re telling her to apologize.”
Conrad frowned and knew that Fia was overthinking things again. He grabbed her hand and said, “It has already happened and the dust has mostly settled. Apologizing quickly is the method that’s the most efficient.”
Esme quickly said, “Conrad’s right. It doesn’t matter whether or not I’m the one that did this. As long as his cousin stops, I can apologize to them. But Fia, your best friend Eileen has always been someone bitter. I’m worried that she won’t forgive me.”
“Ha, don’t tell me that you want me to persuade Eileen?”
Fia then said with a mocking smile, “Don’t think that just because you have me under your control, you want me to force Eileen under your control too, Conrad. She’s my friend, not my puppet!”
