Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 250
Silas noticed that the atmosphere inside the car had frozen. Conrad’s expression had turned into ice.
“What is it, sir?”
“Pinpoint the location of Esme’s number and see where she is!”
Silas stopped the car by the roadside. Conrad and he then switched their seats and he personally
drove.
A few minutes later, Silas had already managed to locate Esme’s phone.
“Sir, she hasn’t moved.”
“Her phone had been found. It must have been thrown away. Call my bodyguards to search the
surroundings. Get access to the surrounding security cameras. We must find her!”
“Understood.”
Conrad stepped on the gas and sped toward where the pinging was at.
Silas didn’t stop his work, but he asked, “Sir, what about the madam…”
Conrad looked at the time on the display and said, “Send someone to the hospital. Prevent anyone
from entering her ward.”
“Sir, what I mean is that it’s getting late. Should you go back and accompany the madam? Leave the
search to me.”
Conrad was silent for a few seconds. “They probably took her because of me. I have to go.”
“…” Silas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He felt that it was unfair to him.
At about midnight, Fia woke up from her sleep. Conrad hadn’t returned yet.
She took her phone and played with it and then she was stunned.
A few minutes ago, Esme had just posted a message on her Facebook.
There were no pictures. No smilies.
However, Fia knew that she sent it out for Conrad.
She believed that he was accompanying Esme.
Just then, someone gave her a call.
She answered. It was Lola, and she sounded worried.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Fia, Mr. Maxwell found out about it. He caught them all.”
Fia blinked and simply replied emotionlessly, “Alright. understand.”
“Fia, maybe you should make a move?”
“Why should I? I simply gave them money to buy the information about her trying to kidnap me. I didn’t
tell them to do anything else.”
Lola quickly shouted, “But they didn’t do as you instructed! They had beaten her up! I don’t know why
they did something crazy like that! This is all my fault! I shouldn’t have hired those who don’t keep their
word!”
“Oh, Lola. If they’re someone trustworthy, they wouldn’t have become gangsters.” Fia finished and
hung up the call.
She smiled and mumbled to herself mockingly, “She’s so lucky. Her white knight is always on standby.”
“Fia Lawson!” Someone pushed open the door angrily.
Fia calmly looked at Conrad. “You’re back? Why did you spend so much time at the company? Are you
very busy?”
Conrad held his fists tightly and walked toward the bed with cold eyes. “Don’t play pretend with me.”
Fia looked at the bruises on his fists. They were from fighting with someone.
“You fought with someone? Who did you fight again?” She smiled nonchalantly.
Conrad remembered what Esme had experienced and grabbed Fia by the collar and said
disappointingly,” How could you do something like that?”
“Do what? What is making you so angry? Did I kill your mom? Or did I rape your lover?”
“Fia! Why are you still trying to irritate me at a time like this? I already told Esme to apologize to you!
She already told you that someone misled her and she didn’t want to harm you! Why must you do
something like that?!”
Fia patted the hand that was holding her collars and said, “Let go.”
Conrad gritted his teeth and shook his head disappointingly. “You’re not like this in the past.”
“Do you have proof?” Fia raised her eyebrow, just like how Esme was trying to provoke her. “You can
say anything you want, but you can’t force me to acknowledge a crime without evidence.”
Chapter 251
“You…”
“Excuse me!” Suddenly, several police officers walked in.
There was anger sparking in Conrad’s eyes. “Who told you to come in?!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Maxwell. They said that Mrs. Maxwell is the mastermind. We need to take her back to
the station to help with the investigation.”
“Out!” Conrad let go of Fia and turned around, staring at them. “Nothing like that had happened!”
“This is not something negligible, Mr. Maxwell. Ms. Manning suffered grievous injuries. After what she
did to the victim…”
“Fia’s my wife. I know her. She would never do that!”
Fia looked at Conrad’s tall figure in confusion.
How interesting. When he barged in just now, he questioned her.
But when the police officers came in, he protected her.
Maybe because she was his wife?
Maybe because he was worried that she would disgrace the Maxwells?
Yes. That must be it.
She couldn’t think of any reasons other than that.
“Mr. Maxwell, please don’t interfere with our job. What Ms. Manning had experienced tonight was very
cruel. There is nothing you can do to suppress this. All of them said that Mrs. Maxwell was the one that
paid them to do it. Mrs. Maxwell is the prime suspect in this case.”
Fia quietly listened and smiled.
Conrad then turned around and asked, “What are you smiling about?”
“Nothing.” She shrugged. The reason that she smiled was because she had underestimated Lola. “No
need to stop them. I’ll go with them.”
“No! The baby in your womb can’t take it.” Conrad turned around and explained to the officers how Fia
was having difficulty with her pregnancy.
The officers exchanged a glance and in the end they decided to have Fia help with the investigation in
the ward.
“Mr. Maxwell, other than the doctors and nurses, we cannot allow anyone to see Mrs. Maxwell for now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConrad wanted to argue with them but a nurse ran in.
“Mr. Maxwell, Ms. Manning is bleeding but she refuses to cooperate with the blood transfusion. She
wants to see you!”
Fia smiled and said calmly, “That’s fine. Go to Esme Manning. I don’t need you here.”
Conrad looked at Fia and realized how nonsensical everything was.
Esme relied on him a lot. He had just managed to find the time to see her away from Esme, but she
didn’t even give him a smile.
Even then, he couldn’t give up on her.
“Don’t worry. I’ll explain everything after I’m done with the surgery. You’re innocent. You won’t do
something like that.”
Fia looked at Conrad quietly.
Could she believe him?
No. She might fall into the abyss again if she trusted him.
“Fia, wait for me! Don’t let your imagination go wild! Everything’s going to be alright!” Conrad gave Fia
al reassuring look before running out of the ward.
Fia let out a smile and the vision of how Esme sobbed in Conrad’s arms surfaced in her mind. She
could feel the coldness extend into her limbs as she began to shake.
“Mrs. Maxwell, please answer some of our questions. Where were you last night at 8.30? Who did you.
contact? And…”
“Mrs. Maxwell!” Another officer managed to catch Fia as she fell from the bed.
“Call the doctor!”
The officer helped Fia, who fainted, onto the bed while another officer went to get the doctor.
Jason had just wanted to end his round with Fia’s ward and return to his office when he saw a police
officer run out from her ward.
“What’s going on?”
When the officer saw Jason wearing a white coat, he sighed in relief and grabbed his hand before
dragging him into the ward. “Please come with me! Mrs. Maxwell suddenly fainted!”
