Chapter 1017
“He was murdered. We haven’t found any suspects.” Conrad’s gaze was deep. “I was called. over to facilitate the
investigation. The fingerprints on the deceased were not a match to mine.”
“That’s good.” Fia let out a sigh of relief.
Conrad could not help but ask, “Are you suspecting me?”
“No.” Fia explained with a frown, “There have been a number of false accusations one after another. I’m worried
that someone will harm you.”
Conrad said, “They have also asked Jason to cooperate in the investigation and he was cleared. of suspicion too.”
“It’s impossible for it to be Evans!” Fia said without hesitation.
Conrad’s expression instantly turned ugly.
Fia noticed that things weren’t quite right. “I meant that Evans was the victim. How could he still be able to murder
your bodyguard…”
“Right.” Conrad did not wish to ask too deeply.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia asked, “Then, who do you think has such great guts? And the ability to do all these?”
Conrad threw the question back at her. “Who do you think it could be?”
Fia’s eyes flickered. “Esme.”
Conrad was momentarily at a loss for words.
It wasn’t that he had not suspected Esme, but Tiger had sent people to keep an eye on her.
Lately, besides fighting with Peter, she did not do anything else.
Furthermore, that bodyguard was not someone a woman could bring down and kill.
“You don’t think I’m right?” Fia got sensitive. “She has done so many bad things. She bribed your bodyguard to hit
Evans and then decided to kill him to silence him. All these are things she is capable of!”
“That bodyguard was attacked from the front. His skull was shattered by a sledgehammer. She’s injured her hand
before. She would not be able to pick up a sledgehammer. But even if we ignore that fact, any girl would not be
able to do it either.”
“Sophia could do it!” Fia retorted intuitively.
“Sophia could do it, but with her height she’d only be able to hit the bodyguard in the face and not the top of his
skull!”
However, Fia felt even more suspicious and retorted, “That bodyguard could have been squatting down and was
caught off guard.”
“Fia.” Conrad felt a little helpless. “My subordinates have all been trained and even off guard, an ordinary person
could not have killed him so easily!”
“Then who do you think it is? Have you found the culprit?” Fla was a little agitated, her voice
louder.
Conrad replied, “I don’t know who the culprit is yet.”
“Then why are you so sure that it isn’t Esme!” Fia got angry. “Is it because you wish it wasn’t her! Are you afraid
you wouldn’t be able to protect her, even with her using Britney’s identity, the more blood there is on her hands?”
Conrad silently stared at Fia. Saying anything else would just agitate her further.
However, not saying anything would make her more suspicious of him.
He suddenly felt that Fia had shut the door on him. There’d been many times, no matter what he said or did, where
it was all problematic to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia spoke again. “Why aren’t you speaking? Did I guess right?”
Conrad shook his head. “It’s not what you think.”
“You’ve got to do things that will make me believe you!” Fia was a little out of control. “It’s not that I want to be a
crazy person and suspect you, but I can’t control it! Why can’t you give me a sense of security? From the beginning
of our marriage till now, you’ve constantly riled me up, making me think all kinds of nonsense like a madman!”
Conrad could not do anything. He simply pulled her into his embrace and held her tight.
“Fia, I swear on my life to you, alright? I didn’t lie to you. I have no desire to protect anyone either. I just wish
wholeheartedly to solve all these matters!”
“Then let the police catch Esme! The real Britney has already appeared. She’ll definitely be able to topple her!” Fia
said.
Conrad tried to explain to her as calmly as possible. “Both her and Britney’s information in the database has been
changed. To ask Britney to stand witness now is to use Britney’s life to admit she’s Esme!”
Fia pushed at him, frustrated. “Don’t hug me. I’m upset!”
Conrad could only let her go, and fed her a cherry.
“I don’t want to eat!” She pushed his hand aside. “According to what you said, Britney and Esme’s identity have
been switched and they won’t be able to change it back for the rest of their lives?”
