Chapter 759
He knew that she was still alive. Did her father feel ashamed about what he did to her because he wanted to
protect his brother, Chuck? Was that why he grabbed the boiling hot tea?
“Then what about my mom? Does she know?” Esme asked as she stared at Peter.
“Do you think your mother would be crazy like that if she knew you’re still alive?” Peter said icily.
“You monster!” Esme pounced at him and choked him by the neck. “You let my dad know, but why did you hide it
from my mom? How can you just stand by and watch as she gets worse and worse?!”
“If she knew, how can she perfect the act with Conrad’s people?” Peter held her hand and with a simple press,
Esme let go of him because of the pain.
“The crazier she gets, the better.” Peter stood up before giving a bitter smile. “But from the looks of it, there’s no
point in this anymore.”
“What do you mean?” Esme asked.

you are Esme Manning! Do you think Conrad will let things develop without interfering?”
“No! He’s seen me! He didn’t believe that I am Esme! He even said that Fia’s crazy and that nothing she said is
trustworthy!” Esme said, trying her best to convince herself.
Peter suddenly felt pity for her. He grabbed Esme by her long hair and dragged her to the front of the sink.
“Do you know how I did it to Britney without raising her suspicion? Do you know what I injected her with? That drug
would maintain the freshness of the corpse in the beginning. However, in five days’ time, the body would quickly
decompose and become bloated. It would look like a body that had been submerged in water for a very long time.
Identification would almost be impossible.”
Esme listened to the horror story that Peter was telling her, and she couldn’t help but let a terrible picture form in
her mind.
Her body slowly trembled, as fear began to overtake her whole body.
Peter began to whisper into her ears as if he was intoxicated. “I spent a lot of effort to take her corpse back to the
country and exchange it with you. But you? You’re so ungrateful! You’ve betrayed me! What’s the point of letting
you live?!”
“No…” Esme could sense Peter’s murderous intent and held his hand with her trembling hands.
Peter looked at the face in the mirror and remembered little Britney who had always followed him since they were
children.
If Sally knew that he had killed Britney, she would never forgive him!
Perhaps it was better for him to end everything like this! To die together with this damnable. Esme Manning!
“No…” Esme could feel her breathing get shallower as she tried even harder to grab the hand choking her, but it
wasn’t helping.
As she choked, she let down one of her hands and put it on her belly.
“…Pregnant. I’m… pregnant.”
Peter was stunned and regained his composure. “What did you say?”
When he saw how Esme was almost out of breath from being choked, he quickly let go of her hand.

Esme fell on the floor buttocks first as she coughed. She was worried that Peter would go crazy again. She coughed
and said, “I… Cough! Have your child… Cough!”
“You’re lying!”
“I… Cough! I’m not,” Esme said pitifully as she grabbed Peter’s leg. “You can take me to the hospital for a checkup.”
Peter stared at her with an icy face. Once he was sure she wasn’t lying, he pulled her up.
He took her to his laboratory and put her down on the examination couch. He confirmed what was inside her womb
very quickly thanks to his tools.
“I didn’t lie, right?” Esme sat up, shuddering. She did her best to do it carefully, trying her best not to enrage him.
Peter first stared at her and then at her belly before asking gloomily, “Why are you only telling me now? It has been
two months!”
Esme’s heart skipped a beat and quickly said, “You misunderstood me. I wasn’t trying to hide it from you or do
anything behind your back! I only found out the day before yesterday when I wasn’t feeling well. I haven’t been
able to tell you about it because Conrad asked me to go to his place directly after that. And then, I got sent to the
police station..
