Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 179
“Then, are you?”
Fia turned around and pushed his face away, looking at him with
resentment.
“Fia, you’re my wife. I won’t hurt you.”
“Really? Even if you didn’t command it, as long as Esme planned it, it has everything to do with you!”
Conrad noticed that something was wrong and asked, “What happened on your way back?”
He held her hand to check if there were any wounds on her.
“Where did you get hurt?”
Fia hit his hand away and icily said, “Lola told me that Esme had hired someone to kidnap me. If Lola didn’t tell me in time, I don’t know what would have happened to me!”
“Impossible!” Conrad immediately denied it in reflex. “She’s not that kind of person.”
“Why is she not that kind of person?”
“She would never badmouth you in front of me.”
“That’s all? That’s why you think that she won’t hurt me?”
“Fia, you’re not doing well lately and keep making things up, believing that everyone out there is trying to get you.”
Fia’s heart became cold. This was her husband! He didn’t even ask! Didn’t even investigate! He automatically leaned toward the person that wanted to harm her.
Let me show you something.
She pushed Conrad’s face away and walked away from under his arm. Then, she played a recording on her phone.
Conrad’s face turned dark when he listened to Esme’s voice.
“That is your pure and innocent Esme. That night, your cousin’s underlings didn’t do anything to her. She bought them and acted it Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
out!”
“Conrad… Did you believe everything was real? Believed that she was almost raped? That she generously gave up on calling the cops and suing your cousin? Believed that she did it all out of the kindness of her heart? She wasn’t kind at all! It was all an act that she personally directed! So that she could pretend to be pitiful to get your love! So that you wouldn’t leave her!”
Fia told him everything she knew. Only after Esme planned the
kidnapping did she know how naïve she had been!
She hid her ugly and vicious side for her all because she wanted to
protect her baby!
In the end, it was on her for being too naïve. She wanted her dead, yet she was still hesitating because of the sisterly bond they had when they were children.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Conrad looked at her with complex emotions. “If you knew, why didn’t you tell me?”
Fia looked at Conrad in surprise. Was that the reaction he was supposed to have?
She could feel the pain and she continued to question him, “You kept on saying that you want to cut her off. Is it because you believe that she was dirty after she was almost raped? You didn’t want to build a life with me, right? You’re just using me as an excuse, right?”
The two of them looked at each other. Due to the difference in their
way of thinking, they became ridiculous in each other’s eyes.
Conrad was quiet for a while before saying, “Regardless, I don’t want her to encounter something like that. If it’s fake, then it’s a good thing.”
“You disappoint me!” Fia threw the phone at Conrad.
He grabbed it with a furious expression on his face.
“Why did you record this?!”
“Why?” Fia could feel the pain intensify and she slammed her chest a few times. “Because I want to save some evidence. I don’t want you to feel regret and remorse from her lies!”
Conrad growled. “Then why are you telling me this now?!”
Fia scoffed. “So that you’ll think that she’s dirty! So that you’ll find her disgusting!”
“What are you talking about?!”
“Fine, forget about this. Do you believe me that she planned to kidnap me?!”
“I won’t believe anything without proof! That Lola is not someone innocent! She’s the one who told me about you tying the necktie for Jason Evans! She wanted us to fight! She’s been stirring the pot!”
“That’s right! None of us are innocent in this! We’re all stirring the pot! Only your Esme is completely innocent!”
“I don’t want to waste my time with you! You’ll never listen!” Conrad threw Fia’s phone on the bed. He grabbed his pajamas, walked into the bathroom, and began to take a cold shower, hoping that it would douse the ire and irritation in his heart.
