Chapter 358
When they reached the court’s gate, there was still an hour before the court was in session. She wanted to sit down
on the steps but someone patted her shoulders.
She turned around and saw Jason.
“Why are you here, Evans?”
Jason was wearing a white shirt and green pants. After he removed his white coat, he looked so much colder.
Fia was surprised when she saw it. Suddenly, she realized that he did have the same blood as Conrad. He even
looked a lot like him.
“Ms. Reid called me to say that you came here alone and wanted me to keep an eye on you.”
“Eileen is such a worrywart. I can do this on my own.”
Jason didn’t ask why Conrad wasn’t with her. He simply said, “Ms. Reid also told me that you hadn’t had your
breakfast yet and there was still some time before the court was in session. Let’s have some breakfast first?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia had just wanted to refuse when he said, “I’ve just finished my night shift and I hadn’t eaten breakfast either.”
“Then let’s have breakfast together.” Fia looked around trying to find a cafe nearby.
Jason ordered something decaffeinated and some snacks. He felt much better when he saw Fia eat something.
The two of them had just finished breakfast when a figure knelt in front of Fia. “I beg you! Seeing that we’ve treated
you well in the past, please show Esme some mercy!”
It was Beth.
Fia was stunned. Before they were forced to reveal their intentions, her aunt had always looked like a noble. She
would never act like this.
Beth raised her head and she looked haggard with tears all over her face.
“Please spare my Esme. I beg you, Fia…”
Fia didn’t know what to feel when she remembered how her aunt treated her when she was younger. Jason held
her hand. “Don’t make yourself suffer.”
Fia snapped back to her senses. She looked at Beth. She knew that even if she begged her, there was nothing she
could do.
She said nothing and headed to the court under Jason’s protection.
Beth couldn’t let her go just like that and wanted to pounce at Fia and pull her arm. Suddenly, someone grabbed
her shoulder and threw her.
Fia turned around when she suddenly heard a scream. She then saw Conrad looking down on Beth.
“Touch her again and you’ll miss your hand in the future!” And then, he ordered his people to pull her away.
Fia looked at him. She didn’t know if it was genuine or if it was all a show.
Meanwhile, Conrad looked at Jason with hostility. “Why are you here?!”
Jason didn’t want to drag this on with Conrad. He came here for Fia. It had nothing to do with others.
“Let’s go in, Fia.”
“Sure.”
Conrad held Fia’s arm with pain in his eyes.
“What do you want to do?” Fia said angrily. “Are you trying to ask me to withdraw my report?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad let go immediately. “No, and I won’t.”
Seeing that people started to look their way, Fia blinked and then looked at him coolly. “When you see her later, will
you pity her?”
“No. She deserves nothing less.”
Fia smiled coldly and said, “You sure? To be honest, I wish that you wouldn’t go in. If you don’t see her, you won’t be
distracted. Only then will the case be seen through.”
“Why don’t you trust me!” Conrad felt humiliated. Was he that untrustworthy in her eyes?
“You loved her that much once, didn’t you?”
She paused. “Even if that baby wasn’t born safely, the baby was still alive. I won’t accept anything less. I don’t want
peace between us.”
She could endure the pain Esme inflicted on her, but she would never accept peace for her child.
“Don’t think too much. I don’t intend to ask you to take a step back.”
Conrad looked at her with sincerity. He knew that what he did in the past made Fia distrust him. But still, he wanted
to make it clear.
