Chapter 931
“She’s in her room upstairs.”
The maid did not stop him from going upstairs. She did not suspect anything since it was known that Mr. and Mrs.
Hall approved of Peter and Britney’s union in marriage. They were even discussing the exact date for their
wedding! So, to the maid, Peter’s anxiousness was actually his eagerness to meet his fiance.
Peter hurried upstairs and knocked on Britney’s door. When the door opened, Esme asked in a daze, seemingly
surprised to see him here, “Oh, Peter? Why’re you here?”
“Heh!” Peter smirked before pushing her back into the room, choking her with a hand.
Shocked and dejected, Esme tried to fight back and break free. However, Peter was too strong. In less than a
minute, he had pushed her into the bathroom and pressed her head onto the sink.
“You b*tch! Why did you send those to my sister?!”

Peter turned the tap and began drenching her head. “I didn’t tell you all my secrets for you to betray me! Have you
forgotten who you really are? Do you think you can risk getting yourself exposed?!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about! I did not do anything!” Esme gave a pathetic look, trying to plead to Peter.
“You can stop your act right now! Hmph! Always acting innocent, again and again! Don’t think your trick will work
on me this time!” Peter glared at her hatefully as he dunked her
head into the water.
Esme tried her darndest to push him away yet she was too weak to do so. Instead, she was dunked into the water
even more harshly. Even though his left arm was injured, Peter could still physically overpower her!
“I shouldn’t have saved you! Shouldn’t have given you a chance at all!” Peter kept dunking her head into the sink in
anger. Esme’s struggling got weaker, appearing to be on the verge of drowning.
“Miss Britney, Miss Barbara is home!”
Suddenly, the maid ran upstairs, calling out to Britney happily. When she opened the door, she screeched in horror,
“Mr. Hall, what are you doing?!”
Barbara entered the room as well. She frowned the moment she saw what was happening in the bathroom.
Without hesitation, Barbara rushed forward and grabbed Peter’s left hand.
“Calm down!”
Feeling a piercing pain in his left arm, Peter let go of Esme, who fell to the floor gasping for
air.
Looking at these two, Barbara felt very conflicted. The maid crept over, still frightened by
what she saw earlier, and stood next to Barbara. She was very impressed with Barbara’s wit and courage. Had she
not been quick on her feet, Britney would have drowned.
Worried that Barbara would blame her for not helping Britney, the maid scolded Peter. “Mr. Hall! How could you do
something like this? If there’s any misunderstanding, you should talk it out like adults. You shouldn’t resort to

“Hehe!” Peter let out a smirk, ready with a comeback. However, he was stunned when he saw the person stepping
through the door.
She was wearing a long, black dress with a black, gold-trimmed coat. Under a jet black cap, her long, silky black
hair waved against the breeze as she stepped closer. She had a black face mask. on so he could not see her face
under the cap.
From head to toe, the woman was clad in a black outfit, making her look like a blurry shadow.
Despite not being able to see her face, she reminded him of her that innocent, bubbly girl…. Could she be her? But
that girl had always hated black… Besides, not many women loved wearing a completely black outfit nowadays.
Noticing Peter’s stare, Barbara turned and saw the girl in black. Her frown dissipated into a loving yet sympathetic
smile as she walked to her.
“Are you tired? Let’s find a place for you to rest, alright?”
The girl in black took a glance into the bathroom before pressing down her cap. Under her cap and face mask, it
was clear as day her face had turned pale when she saw the wench in the bathroom.
Without saying a word, she turned to leave the room.
