Chapter 667
As soon as she finished, she turned to look at Peter. He was simply sitting there, doing nothing. His eyes and
expression seemed to be saying that he missed someone.
She nudged Conrad with her elbow. “Look at how he is.”
Conrad didn’t even spare him a second and simply said, “He’s just acting it.”
“Really? But I feel like he looks quite sad.”
As Fia was looking at Peter, Conrad stood up and went to the restroom.
Peter suddenly turned and looked at Fia.
His eyes were sharp and vicious!
Fia could feel chills going down her spine!
Before Conrad came back, Peter stood up and walked toward Fia.
“Fia, there’s something I need to remind you.”

“Karma. Someone as cold as Conrad will never have eternal love for a woman. Don’t think that he’s treating you
well right now. Maybe Esme’s end will be your end as well.”
“Bullsh*t!” Fia’s hands trembled. Peter felt like a ghost to her.
His eyes, his expressions… They looked like they belonged to a ghost that haunted the living!
“Justice isn’t blind.”
“Justice?! We have never mistreated you!”
“You can’t see things like that.” Peter put a finger on his lips as if he were telling her to be quiet. He then bent down
and whispered into her ears. “Sometimes, karma doesn’t inflict the pain on who did the deed, but inflict the pain on
the people they care about.”
Fia became anxious after the words he said. All the negative emotions she had seemed to have caught an opening
and burst forth altogether.
Peter left with a smile.
When Conrad came back, Fia’s face was gloomy.
“Conrad, did anything happen between the Maxwells and the Halls?”
“No. Why?”
“It’s… It’s nothing,” Fia said as she bit her lips. “Before he left, Peter said something strange to me. I’m worried if
your two families had something against each other in the past.
The hate and viciousness in his eyes weren’t faked. It was something that was carved into his being.”
Could it be that the Maxwells had somehow crossed the Halls in the past? And the best way for Peter to have his
revenge against the Maxwells was to focus his efforts on Conrad?
“Can you try to remember? What if something happened between your two families and he’s now going against
you? That fire in Barbara’s office that day is too strange… Can it be that Peter’s the one who wanted Britney to
start it?”
Conrad looked at Fia in silence. He wasn’t sure what to say
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe didn’t want her to see the darkness on the other side through what was happening
“Britney loves him so much… It’s only natural for her to do whatever Peter asks her to do! She
intentionally ran into the fire to save the documents so that you would be impressed by her. Then… Then when
you’re at your most defenseless, he would use Britney as a honey trap to give you a stab in the back!”
Fia spoke fast and urgently, her mental state a mess.
“That must be it! That’s their plan! Their target is you!”
“Fia.” Conrad held her face, and used his forehead to touch hers. “Sh… Don’t think about it anymore. You’re
making things up from thin air. Nothing like that would happen.”
Fia’s eyes blinked as she stared into Conrad’s eyes, sorrow flowing out of her heart.
Her voice was filled with sadness. “Is Peter trying to avenge Esme? Britney uses the same moisturizer as her, and
the way she looked at me when she was angry was the same as how Esme did too. Did she do that intentionally? To
make us feel like she’s Esme? To make us uneasy? To make us…”
“Shush!” Conrad held Fia tightly and whispered into her ears, consoling her, “I’m not feeling uneasy, and I don’t
want to start fights with you because of Esme.”
