Chapter 1043
Tiger was stunned. He immediately guessed that Conrad was being threatened.
He suddenly thought of himself. If Sophia was caught by someone and that person used her life to threaten him, he
would also act like his boss, wouldn’t he?
However, how was he to explain to the person he loved after everything was settled?
“Go!” Conrad’s gaze was full of pain.
Tiger agreed with great difficulty, and went to the basement to release his prisoner.
Barbara was preparing to drive away when she received Conrad’s call.
“Bring Esme back with you!”
Barbara asked in astonishment, “Why?”
“If you don’t want your sister to die, then don’t expose Esme’s identity!” Conrad shouted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBarbara’s feelings were complicated. After all, she had worked under him for quite a number of years and more or
less knew his temper.
He must have been threatened.
No matter how much she hated Esme, no matter how much she wished Esme dead, she could only be like Mr.
Maxwell.
Tiger sent Esme to Barbara’s car and looked at Barbara with a complicated gaze.
“Madam Barbara, it’ll be tough on you.”
Barbara grabbed the steering wheel tight and no matter how much she wanted to speak, she only said, “Ask Mr.
Maxwell to rest assured!”
No matter how much she hated Esme, for the sake of her sister and the innocent Fia, she would keep calm and
cooperate to act well in this show!
In a room with the window and curtains tightly shut, someone rapped a dull knock on the door.
Fia, who was sitting on the sofa against the wall, raised her eyes.
That person used a key to open the door, switched on the lights, and brought some food to her.
The coarse, unpleasant voice spoke. “Eat up.”
Fia raised her gaze and cracked a smile when she saw the person.
“I never thought that it’d be you.”
At that moment, Britney did not cover up anything, revealing her face and the scar on her neck.
“It’s me.” She was expressionless. There was no nervousness out of a guilty conscience.
Fia did not ask her anything, simply raising her hands that were tied.
“How am I supposed to eat?”
Britney brought the food to the table and grabbed a chair to sit in front of Fia. “I’ll feed you.”
Fia did not reject her offer. Britney fed her a spoonful and she ate that spoonful.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the food was finished, Britney looked at Fia in curiosity.
“I thought that you wouldn’t eat, or you’d kick up a fuss.”
Fia raised her hands that were bound and lowered her head to wipe off the excess oil by her lips with the back of
her hand.
“I will not make things difficult for myself.”
Britney looked at her. “Do you have nothing to ask?”
“No.” She lowered her gaze, her expression numb, before speaking faintly, “I’m cold. Please bring me another
blanket.”
Britney brought the plates away and returned shortly after with a thick blanket.
She even helped Fia lay it out nicely on the sofa.
Fia moved to the end and watched her lay the blanket out.
She said faintly, “Don’t lay it out in layers. Lay half out. I want to cover myself when I sleep with the other half.”
“Alright.” Britney was not at all angry, and relaid the blanket as per her instructions.
