Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 948

She should have been a pianist, playing an expensive piano in front of a crowd.

Where she would enjoy the praises, the applause, and the flowers from the crowd below the stage.

But she had injured her hand, and she was forced to return to the country.

She thought that even with her hand injured and even if she could never turn things back to how they were, she could at least find her first love, and become the madam of the Maxwell family and be the envy of the entire Gryphon city!

But it was all Fia’s fault!

Even if she could never return to how it was with Conrad, she would never allow that woman to live a happy life that was built on her suffering!

“What is it?” Barbara asked gently, looking straight at Esme as her eyes slowly became full of hate.

Esme raised her eyes and said, “I don’t know why Mr. Maxwell wanted to lock me in the apartment he owned and Fia found out about it. But she kept on saying that I’m trying to steal her husband and kept on ruining my reputation.”

Barbara sighed. “You can’t blame everything on her… Mr. Maxwell is the one who locked you up after all.”

Esme was speechless.

Barbara then said, “Speaking of which, he kept on trying to lock you up. Is it because he likes you?”

Hearing how honest Barbara was, she couldn’t help entertaining the thought.

“Why do you think that?”

“I’ve worked in the company for so many years, but I’ve never seen him get close to any woman. The only possibility that I can think of is that he likes you,” Barbara said with a frown. “But he already has a wife. This isn’t right.”

“There’s no such thing as right or wrong, only losing or winning. Everything is written by the victor,” Esme said as she lowered her eyes.

Barbara looked at her with disgust. She didn’t even have to see her face to know how disgusting she was.

A woman that could never be fulfilled… A woman that would only prey on others!

“What do you think about Peter?” Esme asked her with some hope as she looked up.
