That’s right! If she could make the wedding day today, she would have officially become Conrad’s wife by now!
“Britney, you weren’t like this before.”
Mrs. Thomas began to sense something was off about her “daughter”. Responding with a sweet smile, Esme asked the shop attendant to bring over a necklace that was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and put it on Mrs. Thomas’ neck.
“Look, Mom. This necklace suits you so much!”
Looking at the beautiful necklace, Mrs. Thomas felt a little calmer. She was like most women. She was not able to resist the temptation of gold and jewelry.
Hence, Esme’s shopping trip was a joyous one. She had never felt so happy and hopeful all her life! As long as her new master did not let Fia out, she would forever be Conrad’s wife! She would be able to enjoy her life spending his wealth forever!
Not only that, this was just the beginning. When she and Conrad got married, his life would be hers. She would become more powerful than most people, never needing to worry about anything in her life anymore.
This new master of hers was ten times better than that pathetic Peter Hall!
“Britney, you’ve bought too many things. You haven’t done much preparation for your wedding, you know? Let’s stop and go back to handling the preparation.” Mrs. Thomas was worried that her daughter would get too embroiled in shopping that she forgot to prepare for her big day.
“Relax, Mom. Conrad’s got it covered. He’s got a fragile ego. Since he can’t accompany me shopping today, I’ll buy as many things that might make him happy as I can. This would help lift his mood, right?”
Pondering for a minute, Mrs. Thomas said, “I see. If that’s the plan, have at it then.”
Thus, Esme had purchased everything that was expensive and luxurious at every floor of the shopping mall. After paying with the credit card, she even asked the shops to deliver the goods. straight to their home. When she and Mrs. Thomas arrived home, her expensive luxuries had already been safely delivered.
Opening the packages, Esme recalled her mother who was still lying in bed at the hospital. So, she came up with an excuse to head out at night to visit her.
Worried for her safety, Mrs. Thomas said, “Remember to come home early. Tomorrow’s your big day!”
“Okay, Mom.” Esme waved Mrs. Thomas goodbye and drove away.
At the hospital, Beth opened her eyes as she breathed through the breathing mask. Her head was wrapped in bandages as various kinds of medical equipment were attached to her body.
After going through the surgery, her life was not in danger anymore. However, she was not able to move a muscle in her current state.
She could feel nothing but pain right now. Everything she saw was a blur.
Just then, she heard the door opening. She thought it was the nurse coming back to check on her. So, she did not bother to turn her eyes to see who it was.
“Mom, I’m sorry.” Esme stepped to the bed and held Beth’s hand.
Beth painfully opened her mouth and asked, “Where…Where’s your father?”

Esme gave her a bright smile and said, “He’s going to be punished for betraying you, just as you wished.”
A flash of shock glittered in Beth’s eyes as she asked, “What…What happened to… him?”
“Mom.” Esme lowered her head and whispered in her mother’s ear, “Didn’t you ask me to forge a fake paternity test of his b*stard son? I forged one and sent it to them. Then, Dad went completely crazy! He hit that homewrecker with a car and choked his son to death.”
Beth widened her eyes in shock.
Seeing her mother like this, Esme asked, “Isn’t this what you want?”
“You father… Is… Is he someone that heartless?”
Beth had known him all her life. She knew her husband was not a heartless devil. The only heartless thing that he had done was not helping their daughter when she was in trouble, all because he wanted to help his brother.
