Chapter 876
Seeing Fia being suspicious, Conrad patiently explained, “My condition requires twenty-four- hour monitoring by a
licensed physician. So it’s much easier for him to treat me if he stays with us.
Learning the reason for needing a live-in doctor, Fia’s eyes shone and she said, “I see. Okay, I’m fine with that. It’s
for my husband’s health after all.”
Still, Marcus was not someone who knew courtesy and manners. When they reached their villa, Conrad asked Silas
to prepare the guest room for the doctor but Marcus took interest in the cottages behind the villa. He pointed at
one of the cottages and said, “I’ll live in that one.
Fia stared at Marcus in surprise and disbelief. Not wanting to keep the doctor in the dark, Silast smiled at Marcus
politely, “Mr. White, that’s the accommodation for the housekeepers and bodyguards.”
However, Marcus responded with a bright smile, “Oh, don’t you worry about me. I only need a place to stay.”
Despite not understanding, Marcus’ decision, Conrad conceded and ordered Silas, “Silas, go tidy up a cottage with
Mrs. Whitley for the doctor.”

Having received his orders, Silas took the luggage off Marcus’ hands and hurried to find his mother. However, a
brief moment later, he came rushing back and said awkwardly, “My mom told me that there’s no vacant cottages
left. Well… there were two vacant ones but they’re now used as storehouses. Mr. White, perhaps you might find
staying in the guest room in the villa more to your liking.”
“Naw, it’s fine. I’ll take one of the storehouses then.”
Silas cautiously turned and looked at Conrad, waiting for his decision.
Conrad nodded and said, “Just provide Mr. White the place he wants.”
Seeing this, Fia added, “Get more people to help move out the stuff in the storehouse and clean up the place. Make
sure Mr. White’s accommodation is clean and comfortable.”
“Yes, sir! Yes, madam!”
Silas hurried back into the villa to get help. A moment later, Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Whitley came to help clean the
storehouse. The bodyguards were ordered to help move the stuff inside.
Glancing at the bodyguards, Marcus joked cynically, “Mr. Maxwell has a really tight home security. Quite
impressive.”
Looking at the bodyguards, Fia pulled Conrad’s sleeve and whispered, “I’ve been meaning to ask… Why do we have
so many security guards in the house all a sudden?”
Conrad felt a pang of hurt in his chest upon hearing that. Back then, there were no security guards in their home.
Fla had only Mrs. Taylor as her company in the whole house. It must have been very lonely for her.
“And… this villa isn’t the one we lived in, is it?” Fla frowned and pointed at a villa nearby. That one. It should be that
one. That one’s our home.”
Conrad hugged her and smiled. “It’s okay. They’re all the same. Besides, we can afford to live anywhere we like.”
Despite still being uncomfortable with all the sudden changes, Fia was overjoyed to see
Conrad hugging her with such care and love. So she allowed him to escort her into the villa, still in his embrace.
At lunch time, Marcus was not willing to have his meal at the same table as Conrad and Fia. He did not want the
treatment of a guest. Instead, he went to the backyard to have lunch with Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Whitley, and the
bodyguards.
Due to him not behaving haughtily and snobbishly around them, the housekeepers and bodyguards got along with

was not satiated until he ate three. people’s worth of meals.
After lunch, Conrad escorted Fia to the master bedroom for some rest. Silas stood by at the door. When he saw his
boss coming over, he hurried to him, “Sir, I’ve done what you asked.”
Conrad nodded and asked, “So, found anything peculiar?”
Silas shook his head and said, “No, sir. I’ve rummaged through his luggage thoroughly. There’s nothing dangerous
there. He only brought a few sets of clothes and some books about psychology. Oh, he has a wooden box that
contains some perfume and incense. There’s also a chain-like equipment that could be used for hypnosis.”
Conrad recalled Marcus’ suggestion when he heard the word “hypnosis “. He wondered if Fiat could still go through
hypnotic treatment now.
“Silas, has Peter confessed anything about Esme?”
Silas made a conflicted face and said, “Peter Hall is still mentally wounded and in a provoked state. He locks himself
in his room and smashes things everywhere in the house. I’ve had Tiger infiltrate the Hall’s home to force a
confession out of him but we’ve had no luck. He refuses to say anything about Esine Manning.”
Conrad smirked. “Heh, so he loves her so much? To the point of such loyalty? But is it worth it though?”

“Silas had nothing to say about it.
Overwhelmed by frustration, Conrad asked again, “Has Director Parker uncovered anything yet?”
