Chapter 1041
Shortly after, the Thomas family appeared.
Conrad personally went down to meet them.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, as well as Barbara, looked at him with a complicated gaze.
Mrs. Thomas cried the moment she saw him. “Mr. Maxwell, please give us back our daughter.”
Mr. Thomas asked in confusion, “We’ve not been able to contact her since last night after we received photos of
you and Britney together. What exactly have you done to her? If you like her, you can tell us, elders. We are not
unreasonable parents.”
Mr. Thomas was still hoping to leech off Conrad, but Mrs. Thomas had seen the news of Conrad exposing his wife,
so she did not want her daughter to have anything to do with him. The couple immediately started to argue the
moment they did not agree.
Seeing her parents acting like this, Barbara felt really bad for her sister! They didn’t even know that their
“daughter” was not Britney but Esme!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad couldn’t be bothered with the two of them. He looked coldly at Barbara and said, Come in.”
Barbara entered Conrad’s villa alone, her parents blocked outside by the bodyguards.
“Sit.” Conrad had the necessary calmness and coolness toward an outsider.
Barbara sat down uneasily, accepting the tea Mrs. Whitley offered.
“Mr. Maxwell, where is my sister now?”
Conrad held the tea cup, his gaze gloomy as he said, “I was just about to ask you.”
“That night, the one who made an appointment with you was Britney. How did Esme end up being the one you
met?” Barbara felt more fearful the more she thought of it. “Did she do something to my sister again?”
Conrad stared at Barbara, asking with multiple pauses in between words. “Since you reunited with her, have you
never been suspicious of her?”
Britney made an appointment with him, but the one who turned up was Esme. Then, Britney disappeared yet again.
Barbara shook her head fervently. “How could I be suspicious of her? She is already so badly injured that I’m about
to die of heartache!”
Conrad replied, “This time, your sister helped Esme to go against me. If she hadn’t been the one who asked to
meet, I would never have gone! Then, there wouldn’t have been a chance for Fla to end up like this!”
“…I, I don’t know what’s going on. Britney, she, perhaps Esme has done something to her and she had no choice
but to do it.” Barbara put the cup down with shaky hands as she rubbed her face and said, “Is Esme in your hands
now?”
Conrad looked at her silently.
She begged. “Please let me see Esme. I want to ask her what exactly she did to Britney. She must have threatened
Britney, so Britney had no choice but to…’
“Barbara,” Conrad spat out her name coolly. “It’s true that your sister was met with unfortunate circumstances, but
it is also true that she has changed. You should wake up!” “Impossible. Let me see Esme! I will definitely be able to
get an answer.”
“What you should do now is tell me the moment Britney gets in touch with you!” Conrad’s amber, sharp gaze
landed on Barbara.
Barbara knelt on the ground. “Mr. Maxwell. 1, Barbara, have always been strong-headed and unwilling to admit
defeat. This is my first time begging someone. Please let me see Esme. I’ll ask her…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad looked at Tiger. “Bring Barbara to her!”
“Yes.” Tiger took Barbara’s phone, took off all the accessories she had on her, and used the equipment to sweep
through her from head to toe once to ensure that there were no problems before bringing her to Esme.
In the basement, it was dark and deadly silent.
Esme heard someone coming and called out with sobs.
Barbara was afraid, not daring to go any nearer, thinking that it was some kind of wild animal. crying.
Tiger turned on the lights and pushed Barbara. “Esme is

up ahead.”
Tiger removed the cloth from her mouth and she started shouting agitatedly. “Barbara, are you here to save me?
Are Dad and Mom here? Have they figured out that Conrad took me?”
Barbara rushed forward, full of hatred, launching attacks on Esme’s face, both left and right.
“You despicable person, in your dreams!”
“Hahahaha!” Esme started to laugh Instead of getting angry. “Turns out you already know!”
