Chapter 1002
“Britney?” Barbara held Britney’s shoulders tightly. “You heard everything I said, right?”
Britney mumbled, “Barbara… I was just thinking… Maybe… He was deceived too?”
“How could he be deceived?! He’s hurting you so much and he did all of it himself! No one forced him!”
“But…”
“Britney!” Barbara wanted to continue to console her, but her phone rang suddenly.
“It’s him again.” She showed her phone to Britney. “Do you want to answer?”
Britney looked at it with mixed feelings and finally said, “Why don’t you pick it up?”
Barbara sighed and picked up the call. “Hello?” Her tone was very chilling.
“Barbara, there’s something I need to ask you,” Peter said in an icy tone. He didn’t feel any guilt despite committing
so many crimes.
“I don’t believe there’s anything for us to talk about.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Barbara.” Peter held his phone tightly and said, “If you don’t talk to me, I’ll talk to your parents directly!”
Barbara’s chest tightened. “What do you mean? We don’t owe you anything! Do you think you’re in a position to
speak with me in such a tone?”
“There are things that can still be found out despite so many years having passed… I never investigated it because
I never held any suspicion toward your family!” Peter’s temper was getting the better of him as he asked in an
angry tone, “Why didn’t you join your family’s company? Why aren’t you willing to take over the family business?!”
Barbara raised an eyebrow. “It’s because I don’t want to be bound and I want to find my own. fortune.”
“Lies!” Peter immediately hung up the call.
“Barbara, what happened?” Britney asked, worried when she saw Barbara’s dark expression.” Did he say
something hurtful?”
“Britney…” Barbara was getting a headache.
She forced herself to forget, but Peter’s call forced her to face it head-on.
The sin that their father committed all those years ago could no longer be hidden.
“Barbara?” Britney asked again.
“Britney… I’m so sorry,” Barbara said. She felt so sorry for her sister. If everything was brought to light, her sister
would be the one that would suffer the most.
She was so compassionate… If she found out what their father did to the Halls, she probably couldn’t even hate
Peter for what he did to her.
There was no other way. She dragged Britney along and chased after Eileen. Fia suddenly appeared.
“Wait!”
Fia, who was holding Eileen’s hand, looked at the Thomas sisters. Her expression was a bit dark.
Barbara quickly explained, “I won’t tell anyone what just happened. I’ll also delete the security camera footage
overlooking the gate later.”
“What do you want?” Fia asked.
Barbara shook her head. “It’s my fault last time. The only reason that I didn’t dare to
acknowledge it in front of Mr. Maxwell was because I was worried that he still had some feelings toward Esme.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia looked at the masked young woman wearing all black and standing next to Barbara, and her heart softened.
“I can understand from your perspective.”
“I’m sorry,” Britney apologized as well.
Eileen frowned. It was the first time that she heard such a hoarse voice, and she looked quite pitiful as well.
The conflict between the feelings she had from Britney and what she could see and hear… It was quite impactful, to
say the least.
Fia then said, “You didn’t do anything wrong. This is the result of our choices.”
Barbara said, “I’m willing to take Britney to Mr. Maxwell so she can explain everything. Do you think that he will help
us?”
The sisters looked at Fia expectantly.
Fia could feel the hope they had placed on her, and she let go of Eileen and walked over.
“To be honest with you, I’m not so sure either. I want to beat Esme in her game too, to reveal who she is so that she
can be punished for all her crimes. But… just like you, I’m also worried. that Conrad might still have feelings for
her.”
