Chapter 1027
He stared at the car that knocked Louise down for a moment before a moment of clarity hit him. He finally realized
what was actually going on.
“It’s your own fault!”
Esme locked her eyes with her father’s and yelled, “This is all your own fault! You have no one to blame but
yourself!”
Staring at his daughter’s hateful scowl, Hank replied, “But Louise and the boy are innocent….”
“No! You’re all guilty! She robbed my mom’s husband from her. As for that boy…”
Esme turned and glared at the little boy that was so shocked that he could only look on silently.
“No!” Hank hurried over to pull his son into his embrace.
Louise did her darndest to sit up and said to Esme as blood bled from her mouth, “Please… let my son go… If you
want to punish someone… you can do it to me… Please… kill me… not my baby boy…”
Esme was so overwhelmed by anger and hatred that her tears streamed down her face.
“Why? Why is my life so unfair?! Why can’t my parents ever truly love me?!”
Hank put a hand over his son’s eyes to prevent him from seeing his mother’s injury and said, Esme… there is no

“Excuses! Excuses! Excuses!!” Esme screeched out loudly, “I don’t want to hear. You’re all liars! Liars!”
your excuses!
Hank looked at Louise worryingly. He had to call for the ambulance right away! If Louise did not get immediate
treatment, her life would be in danger.
Yet, what would happen to Esme if he called for the ambulance? She was the one who hit Louise….
“Hahaha!” Esme suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Go on, Dad. This is your golden opportunity to prove your
love for me. Don’t make the call. Don’t tell the police that I was the one who hit her…”
“Esme… you’ve broken the law…”
“I did what I did to save myself!” Esme looked at her father tearfully. “You and Mom never loved me. So, I’ll have to
do everything on my own for myself!”
Hearing his son calling out to his mother in his arms, Hank’s hesitation dissolved in that instant and he immediately
dialed 911.
Seeing this, Esme rushed forward to grab away his phone. “I told you to not call for an ambulance! You’ll attract the
police!”
Hank raised his head and said to Esme sullenly, “She could die, Esme! If that happens, you could be convicted of
murder!”
“Oh, you jest, Dad! There are so many crimes that I’ve done that I’d be sentenced to death right away! Yet, I can’t
allow my name to be tainted right now. Not with this new identity I’ve got!” Esme then smiled at Hank. “Dad, can
you please show your love for me… for the last time?”
Louise was beginning to lose consciousness. Yet, all she cared about was her child. Seeing the hesitation in Hank’s
eyes, worry began to grow in her heart.
Before she lost her consciousness, Louise mumbled, “… Please… not my baby… Please don’t hurt my baby…”
“Dad, what’s there to hesitate about? It’s just a woman, right? You are so heartless to Mom. Surely, you could also
do the same to someone who’s just another pub singer, right?” Esme caressed Hank’s head and said, “With her
gone, you could retrieve your money. I could even help you rebuild your business!”
She was applying the hallucinogen that she stole from Peter onto Hank’s hair. This drug could take away a person’s
rationality, and thus make it very easy to provoke them to do
unspeakably horrible things. The last time she used this drug was when she made Fia push her off the River Fane
bridge.
Holding his son, Hank had never felt so much regret before. He knew right away that this boy was indeed his flesh-
and-blood the moment he saw his daughter!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat paternity report was definitely the work of Esme!
He knew his daughter more than anyone, Beth had taught this daughter of his to be a cunning, jealous, wrathful
witch!
“Fia, it’s time for dinner.”
Conrad went upstairs to get his wife as soon as he reached home. When he entered their bedroom, he saw Fia
staring at her phone on the bed. She had been watching a news report. over and over again. Due to the closed
curtains and the lights off, the bedroom was shrouded in darkness, with only the light from Fia’s phone illuminating
her pale, shocked face.
“Fia?!” Conrad quickly opened the curtains to clear the air and switched on the lights. He turned and saw her body
shuddering. He quickly rushed forward to embrace her.
“What’s wrong?”
“Conrad!” Fia suddenly burst into tears. “What… What should I do? How could she…?! How could she be this
cruel?!”
“What happened?”
Lightly poking her head out of Conrad’s embrace, Fia showed her phone to Conrad.
After watching the news, Conrad frowned speechlessly.
Fia buried her face in his embrace and wept. “Uncle Hank would never hurt that woman and baby! It’s her! It had to
be her!”
