Stop It She's Remarrying by Stellar Strands

Chapter 9

Echo’s grip around her thin blanket tightened. She felt pain when she thought of the hurt her daughter must have suffered yesterday.

She didn’t realize that Conrad could be so heartless.

She knew from her sister that Esme had come back. She was worried that Conrad couldn’t give their past up, so that was why she said what she did just now. She wanted Conrad to treat Fia a little bit better.

But she never expected that he had already stabbed Fia in the back!

Cough! Cough!

“Is that all it takes?” Esme suddenly stood up and smiled. “Have any of you ever thought about how I felt when I left three years ago and it was arranged for Conrad and Fia to be married?!

“I liked you so much in the past, Aunt Echo! You were so gentle and pretty. I had hoped that my mom could be less forceful and be as gentle as you! Now that I think back… It was all so disgusting!”

Esme stressed her words a lot. When she saw that Echo’s disguise was dissolving and she couldn’t stop coughing, she was all smiles.

“Your daughter is just as despicable and shameless as you are!”

Cough! Echo coughed out blood and there was only pain in her eyes as she shook her head at Esme.

Meanwhile, Esme simply frowned at the sight of blood. She was a little shocked.

Echo extended her hand at Esme and begged, “…Leave her alone, Esme. Spare my Fia… I beg you…”

“Never!” Esme moved away from Echo so that she couldn’t touch her as she stared with venomous eyes.

“Esme… No one had a choice… I… I tried to fight back against your grandmother, but… Uncle Maxwell and my mother… They wanted…”

“Stop making excuses! Fia had fallen in love with Conrad a long time ago!”

“Fia never wanted to fight with you. Three years ago, it…”

“Enough! She never should have married Conrad! Conrad could have married anyone else, but not her!” Esme said with a face full of anger.

Echo continued coughing and begged. “Please, Esme. She had always been bullied because she didn’t have a father…” Echo tried to hold Esme’s hand.
