Chapter 12

“Mrs. Taylor, seriously! Forget about Fia. She doesn’t know anything! How can you simply look at her fight with Conrad’s mom?!”

Esme berated them like a warrior of justice.

When Mrs. Taylor saw that Beryl had been saved, she heaved a sigh of relief especially when she was found to be physically fine. She then said, “Mr. Maxwell, this is not Madam’s fault.”

“Mrs. Taylor, you practically watched over Conrad while he was growing up! How can you help an outsider!” Esme condemned her. “You were here too. Why didn’t you stop Fia bullying Aunt Beryl? Don’t tell me that you and Fia are in this together and you wanted to kill her!”

“Oh, shut up, you!” Fia said as she was somehow emboldened as the situation chilled her heart.

She stared at Esme and said, “This is a family matter. You have no place here!”

“You!” Esme stomped her foot in frustration before jogging toward Conrad and said, “Conrad, just look at her! She isn’t even at least apologetic about it!”

Conrad then said with a dark expression on his face, “Mrs. Taylor, help my mom into the living room to change into some fresh clothing.”

He trusted Mrs. Taylor. Despite that, he had personally witnessed Fia push his mother into the pond. He didn’t understand why someone who was as kind-hearted as her would do that.

Beryl grabbed her son’s hands and wept, “You have to get back at her for me, my son! Your ruthless wife almost took my life!”

Conrad could feel his throat becoming dry as he said, “I will investigate.”

He then paused and looked at Fia who was sitting there like a wooden puppet.

“If she is really trying to murder you, I won’t forgive her.”

“Ha.” Suddenly, Fia let out a laugh.

She stood up, facing Conrad.

“Did you know that in the past three years, your mother would come to our home and harass me whenever she liked?”

Conrad frowned and looked at Fia as his brain began to tick. He was suspecting how trustworthy her words were.

He would ask his mother if she had ever come to their home to bully her in the past three years and she had always said no.

Why did she suddenly say something like that?
