Chapter 264
“Know your place!”
Priscilla could feel her chest thumping and she instantly dragged Fia by the hair, wanting to drag her
down from the bed!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from behind her. “What are you doing?!”
A raging flame burst forth toward Priscilla and she let go in fear, but she was already kicked away by
the man and was slammed into the wall.‘
“How dare you commit police brutality to my wife!” Conrad tightened his fists, wishing that he could
shred Priscilla into pieces.
If he didn’t suddenly come back after leaving, he would never have seen this.
Since Fia was still angry at him, she would never tell him.
Priscilla massaged the spot where she was kicked in her chest, and the anger on her face disappeared
when she saw who it was.
“Con… Conrad?!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad didn’t even give her a look and simply looked at Fia.
“How are you feeling? Are you hurt somewhere?”
Fia was really feeling sleepy. She only wanted to go to sleep. But after Priscilla pulled her hair, she was
in so much pain that she no longer felt sleepy.
She sat up and had her back against the wall and looked at Conrad c*olly.
“Didn’t you leave?”
“Why are you here again? What kind of evidence do you want from me again?”
Conrad gulped. “Can’t we speak properly for once?”
“That’s Esme’s cousin.” Fia gave Priscilla a glance. “I wonder if you still remember.”
“I don’t!” Conrad stared at Priscilla coldly. He really didn’t have any memory of her.
Priscilla felt embarrassed. She even liked him when she was younger… But he didn’t even know who
she
was.
“It’s okay if you don’t know her, as long as she knows you,” Fia said mockingly. “You saw how she was
treating me as a member of the Manning household. Do you still think that Esme’s pure and innocent?”
Conrad knew what she meant. She was telling him the reason that the officer treated her like this was
because she was ordered to by Esme.
“Don’t believe me?” Fia sneered. “True. You’ll only believe Esme.”
“Fia, stay here for a few more days. Once I’ve completed the investigation, I’ll take you home.”
Conrad felt like this was not the time to discuss what kind of a person Esme was. He only wanted to be
done with this and take her horne.
“Fine. I shouldn’t have discussed this with you.” Fia lay back down on the bed. “I want to go back to
bed. Leave.”
Priscilla carefully said, “Let’s go then, Conrad.”
She didn’t even dare to be angry at him after getting kicked. He was just too powerful. She couldn’t go
against him.
Conrad glared at Priscilla coldly when a middle–aged man greeted them after they went outside.
“I told you, right? Mr. Maxwell? Your wife will be alright! I already told Priscilla to take good care of her!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Take good care of her?” Conrad looked at him coldly. “You’re a good boss, Assistant Director
Manning.. Unfortunately, you’re quite blind!”
“What?” He looked at his daughter Priscilla standing by the door.
“Priscilla, what did you do to make him so unhappy?”
“Dad, I…” Priscilla was very regretful. She thought that Conrad would never come to a place like this.
And since that hospital assistant director had already left, she thought no one would see whatever she
did to
Fia.
“Speak up!”
“I… When I was interviewing Ms. Manning, she and I got into some conflict, and then…”
“And then what?!” Assistant Director Manning’s heart was already trembling. He had spent a lot of
effort to get her into the station. If Conrad found something that could be used against them, both of
them would be in trouble.
“… …”
“Enough.” Conrad didn’t want to listen to Priscilla anymore. It made him feel disgusted.
