Chapter 386
“You cursed me?” Finn was instantly enraged. “You should feel lucky that you married Fia, but you didn’t cherish
her! And now, you came here to check on another woman’s body?”
“I don’t have time for this!” Conrad turned around and left. His brain was full of crap, so he couldn’t speak
to him at all.
“Why did you come to the autopsy department, sir? Silas walked over from the other direction. He had gotten a tan
from trying to find the bodies for the past few days.
Conrad asked as he headed out, “Have you checked if that body belonged to Esme?”
“Yes, it’s hers. I kept an eye on the coroner.”
“Did the truck really explode on its own? Not because of some other reason?”
Silas looked at him weirdly. “Why are you asking that?”
No matter how the car exploded, he believed that someone as vicious as Esme got what she deserved! He was cool
with it!
Could it be that his boss believed that someone had killed her and he wanted to avenge her?
Conrad stopped and looked at Silas in disgust. He then asked in a dark tone, “Are you sure that the truck. didn’t
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexplode because of her own doing?”
That was what Fia believed. And the message from Esme… That message showed that she was suicidal because
she couldn’t accept having to endure life imprisonment.
That was why both he and Fia believed that Esme planned that explosion and dragged the three officers
with her.
But now, the result of the investigation showed that there was a malfunction in the truck that caused the explosion.
It differed from the conclusion he had so he had a hard time believing it.
“We found the truck and got it out of the river. I also asked Tiger to keep an eye on the officers. It really is
because of the truck.”
Conrad loosened his collar. He believed that Silas and Tiger wouldn’t lie, but he kept on feeling that
something was wrong.
Suddenly, a wailing could be heard from the door.
Conrad turned and saw Beth run in like a mad woman.
“Esme?! Where’s my Esme?! Esme!”
When Beth saw Conrad, she instantly went over and grabbed his arms with tears in her eyes.
“Esme… Where did you hide my Esme? Give her back!”
Hank walked with a tired look on his face. He shuddered when he saw Conrad and pulled Beth away.
“Let’s go. Stop causing any more trouble!”
“It doesn’t matter anymore!” Beth pushed Hank away. “It’s all your fault! You sacrificed Esme for your brother! I
won’t let this matter rest! Ever!”
Because his company had been continuously assaulted by Conrad’s company, he shuddered just from the sight of
him. He quickly apologized and dragged the hysterical Beth toward the laboratory.
Conrad turned around and looked at them. He then remembered how Esme would invite him and Fia to
dinner at her home.
Beth could cook very well and she would prepare a tableful of dishes.
The three children and the two adults would eat at the table together.
He followed the Mannings to the laboratory and stood in the dark with a dark expression.
Silas simply followed behind him and carefully glanced at his boss. He wasn’t sure what his boss was thinking.
Beth looked at the body on the autopsy table and asked with trembling lips. “Who… Who is this?”
The coroner frowned and told them both.
“No!” Beth screamed, her tears rolled down her cheeks as her strength left her. She collapsed on the cold floor as
she shook her head, refusing to believe it.

“No, that’s not her, you’re wrong..

Hank wanted to help her up with his shaking hands, but she shoved them away.
“You’re all murderers! You killed her! It’s your fault!” She screamed, and the entire laboratory was filled
with her voice.
Conrad looked at the woman wailing and running into the wall before he turned around and left.
Silas looked at the Mannings who seemed to have aged and pitied them.
Their daughter that they had treasured so much had passed away just like that. No one in this world. would be able
to accept it just like that.
He chased after Conrad and asked, “Sir, are you still going to destroy Manning Corp?”
Silas remembered how hysterical Beth became after she found out that her daughter had died. Whatever
profit they could derive from Manning Corp would be enough for their retirement.
There was no need to fear them. He believed that his boss could spare them for old time’s sake.
“Destroy it. I don’t want any traces of the Mannings left in Gryphon.”
