Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 1002

“Britney?” Barbara held Britney’s shoulders tightly. “You heard everything I said, right?”

Britney mumbled, “Barbara… I was just thinking… Maybe… He was deceived too?”

“How could he be deceived?! He’s hurting you so much and he did all of it himself! No one forced him!”

“But…”

“Britney!” Barbara wanted to continue to console her, but her phone rang suddenly.

“It’s him again.” She showed her phone to Britney. “Do you want to answer?”

Britney looked at it with mixed feelings and finally said, “Why don’t you pick it up?”

Barbara sighed and picked up the call. “Hello?” Her tone was very chilling.

“Barbara, there’s something I need to ask you,” Peter said in an icy tone. He didn’t feel any guilt despite committing so many crimes.

“I don’t believe there’s anything for us to talk about.”

“Barbara.” Peter held his phone tightly and said, “If you don’t talk to me, I’ll talk to your parents directly!”

Barbara’s chest tightened. “What do you mean? We don’t owe you anything! Do you think you’re in a position to speak with me in such a tone?”

“There are things that can still be found out despite so many years having passed… I never investigated it because I never held any suspicion toward your family!” Peter’s temper was getting the better of him as he asked in an angry tone, “Why didn’t you join your family’s company? Why aren’t you willing to take over the family business?!”

Barbara raised an eyebrow. “It’s because I don’t want to be bound and I want to find my own fortune.”

“Lies!” Peter immediately hung up the call.

“Barbara, what happened?” Britney asked, worried when she saw Barbara’s dark expression. “Did he say something hurtful?”

“Britney…” Barbara was getting a headache.

She forced herself to forget, but Peter’s call forced her to face it head-on.

The sin that their father committed all those years ago could no longer be hidden.
