Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 871

Chapter 871 

At the study, Fia quietly opened the door and saw Conrad busy handling the problem at his desk. She was hesitating over entering the study. 

She feared that they might fight again as soon as she went in. Even if no fight was ignited, their different views would ruin their day. 

Waiting at his desk for several seconds, Conrad realized that the girl was not going to enter the room. Not able to hold it in anymore, he closed his laptop, marched to the entrance of the study, and opened the door widely. 

“Fia, why aren’t you entering?” 

Fia raised her head and looked at him. “Did you order your men to take Peter away from the hospital?” 

“Yes.” 

A cold glint flashed in Conrad’s eyes as soon as he thought about Peter. 

“I promised Sally to let him go. Besides, the reason her brother would harm me is not just. because of the conflict between the Halls and Parkers but also because of manipulation from Britney’s imposter. The true culprit is that fake Britney, not Peter.”

Fia lowered her voice and made her tone as gentle as possible, trying to persuade Conrad to let 

Peter go.

Conrad stared at Fia silently. He did not want to talk about it. 

Fia continued, trying to persuade him. “I want to get close to him, to get on his good side. By doing that, he might side with us to uncover her real identity when he realizes that she was just using him.” 

“Fia, you should know that Peter Hall is much more dangerous than Esme Manning,” Conrad said in a sullen voice. 

Fia glared at Conrad and asked, “So you’re quite sure that she is Esme, aren’t you?” 

“Did she confess to you?” Fia asked as she tried to restrain her anger, making it as though she did not care much about it. 

Holding her hand, Conrad frowned and asked, “Why’s your hand so cold? Are you not feeling well?” 

“No.” Pulling her hand out of his grasp, Fia answered sarcastically, “My heart died and turned cold. That’s all.” 

Conrad said as he clenched his teeth, “I told you. Nothing happened between us.” 

“But I saw it with my own eyes. She kept hugging and kissing you,” Fia said as she gave a bitter smile, “You’re tainted and filthy now.” 

” 

Conrad felt so lost, not knowing how to explain himself to his wife. 

“Esme is the main culprit of everything. She murdered my baby and ruined my name. Before their deaths, Mom and Grandma were tormented by her. She’s the worst woman to have ever existed. Yet, you only focus on catching Peter instead of her. Why?!” 

Due to her suspicions, Fia was overwhelmed with anger. 

“You still have feelings for her. You still care about her! That is why you want to let her go! The reason why you put so much effort into catching Peter is so that everyone would be distracted from her! Am I right: 

“Fia!” 

Suddenly, Conrad pulled her into his embrace, frustrated. The fiercer she struggled to get away from him, the tighter he embraced her. Still, he arched his torso so that his waist would not press against her stomach. 

“How many more times should I tell you until you believe me? I do not love Esme Manning! I’ve never loved her! Not in the past, not now, not in the future!” 

Fia shouted back at him angrily, “Liar! You’re just trying to help her escape!”
