Chapter 949
“You should rest early, Britney. It’s getting late and your body can’t take it. Also, don’t drink on your own anymore.
It’s not good for your stomach.”
Esme frowned.
Barbara sighed as she held her and said, “Love is the most difficult thing to us women in the end. Even for
me.”
“Is there something that you can’t deal with?” Esme carefully asked.
“You know about it, don’t you? Although Finn and I had divorced, he still has a place in my heart,” Barbara said,
sounding upset.
Something flashed through Esme’s eyes. She didn’t expect that even a strong woman like Barbara couldn’t beat
this game called love.

Barbara smiled coldly. “Maybe.”
However, all Esme was thinking about was if she could use her identity as Barbara’s sister to use Director Parker if
he hadn’t given up on Barbara completely!
The next morning, Fia sent out a text using the phone.
When Esme saw the message when she woke up, she became anxious.
She immediately called Peter. “I want to see my parents.”
Peter sat in the car and looked at the Thomases’ mansion from the car window.
“Come out, then. I’ll wait for you outside the house.”
Esme didn’t even bother to change her clothes and simply walked down the stairs with her hair unkempt and a pair
of slippers.
“Where are you going, Britney?” Mrs. Thomas asked.
“Peter is here for me, Mom. We’re going out for a bit.” Esme smiled at Mr. and Mrs. Thomas as well as Barbara,
who were all sitting on the sofa. However, she didn’t even give the woman in black a single glance.
When the real Britney heard her words, there was nothing but scorn in the eyes hidden under her cap as her hands
clenched tightly.
Barbara moved toward her and handed her a plate of grapes.
“Have some. It’s very sweet.”
“Thanks.” Britney took the plate but didn’t touch the grapes. She didn’t even dare to show others what she looked
like. How could she eat in front of all of them?
Barbara looked at her with a broken heart. “Do you want to go back to your room for a rest?”
“Sure,” Britney said as she stood up with the plate of grapes.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas looked at Barbara with a frown.
Mrs. Thomas even whispered, “What’s with your friend? She’s always acting so suspiciously and never shows her

Barbara hadn’t even said anything when Mr. Thomas said, “We’re not philanthropists! Stop taking anyone home just
like that!”
“Dad!” Barbara roared. “Stop it!”
Britney held the rail tightly as she was halfway through the stairs. She couldn’t even lie to herself anymore.
Someone like Esme Manning easily lied and stole her parents’ love while masquerading as her.
“Am I wrong?!” Mr. Thomas roared back. “She doesn’t even dare to show her face! What if she’s a murderer?! Are
you trying to kill us all?!”
“Shut up, Dad!” Barbara was feeling so distraught that she ran to her sister’s side and whispered, “Don’t get angry,
Britney. They don’t know who you are.”
Britney lowered her eyes. “It’s expected, I guess.”
She straightened her back as she walked into the guest room. Barbara followed her and carefully consoled her.
“Barbara…” She calmly cut her off. “Now that I look like this, will they still accept me as their daughter if they found
out about the truth?”
