Stop It, She’s Remarrying!

Chapter 33

“Conrad, please give Esme’s uncles a call. Once they’re here, please speak on my behalf.” Beth could already hear her heart thumping uncontrollably. If something were to happen to her mother, then she had to keep a good relationship with her brothers.

That way, she would have no fear of punishing that pair of shameless mother and daughter! All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mom, please wipe your face.” Esme took out a wet tissue from her bag and handed it to her mother. Blood covered her entire face and it made her look like a murderer.

Beth wiped her face and hands, and then said to Conrad, “Conrad, you love Esme very deeply and I watched you grow up. When you’re younger, your relationship with your parents wasn’t great and you spent a lot of time at my place.”

Conrad gave Beth a frigid glance. He hated it when people talked about his family.

His relationship with his parents was bad back then, and it hadn’t improved.

His grandfather was the one that took care of him. His father spent most of his time out of the country. He had not seen him since his grandfather’s passing three years ago.

“Please don’t, Mom. I dragged him into the mud a lot of times when I was little.”

“Yes, yes. It’s all thanks to Conrad watching after you. Otherwise, a girl like you would be bullied all the time, just like Fia.”

Beth’s words awakened some of Conrad’s memories.

Fia loved to cry even now. She couldn’t stop her tears whenever something happened.

“Esme, wait here with your mother and guard your grandmother.”

“Where are you going, Conrad?” Esme grabbed his arm. “I’ll get worried if I don’t see you.”

“Fia’s mother isn’t doing well. I have to take a look.”

Beth quickly said, “Don’t you worry. There are plenty of doctors and nurses in the hospital. She’ll be fine.”

Annoyance suddenly filled his chest, and he glared at Beth. “Do other people’s lives not matter to you?”

“…” Beth wanted to argue, but Esme quickly cut her off.

“Conrad, please don’t misunderstand her. She’s just a bit rash. She doesn’t have any bad intentions. Look at Fia. With both my grandmother and my aunt fainted, she must be terrified. Console her. Don’t talk about the project anymore. We can talk about it later.” With that, she let go of Conrad’s arm.

Conrad suppressed the anger inside of him and gave her head a pat. “And don’t give yourself too much pressure, too. What happened to your grandmother has nothing to do with you. You’re still injured, so if you’re tired, you should go home first.”

“I’ll wait for you.” Esme looked at the man lovingly.

Three years ago, as handsome as he was, he was not the heir to the Maxwells‘ fortune and was just

another scion.

But now, he was the improved version of himself back then. He attracted women around him like moths to a flame.

She must have him!

And the status of Madam Maxwell!

Conrad didn’t know why, but when the image of a crying Fia appeared in his mind, he couldn’t face Esme anymore. He turned around and left quickly.

Esme looked at his figure as the passion within her eyes slowly extinguished.

“Esme, he’s gone. What are you looking at?” Beth waved her hands in front of her daughter.

“Mom, do you feel that he’s different from before?”

“Of course, he’s different now! Mr. Maxwell is dead, and his father is useless. He’s now the patriarch of the Maxwell household and the leader of Maxwell Corporation! He’s even more attractive and capable now!”

“Mom, I just feel that… he doesn’t treat me like he did in the past anymore.”

Beth scoffed and said, “Of course, he’s treating you differently. He doesn’t belong to you alone, after all. He has a wife and family.”

She looked around before squatting down and tried to come up with some ideas.
