Chapter 281
He had seen plenty of schemes to be able to get this far.
He didn’t believe that the truck had suddenly lost control and coincidentally crashed into Fia’s car.
The old driver gulped as he looked at the baseball bat in Conrad’s hand.
“I… I’m not lying. The truck really did lose control. I didn’t want this to happen either.”
Silas was worried that his boss would lose control and kill him.
He carefully advised him, saying, “Sir, the police are already investigating this. They’ll find out if he lied.”
“Yes, the police will find out everything.”
The old driver looked at Conrad tearfully, thinking that he would let him go just like that.
However, Conrad’s emotions were going haywire to the point of madness.
He dragged the driver off the bed and pulled him to the window. He then pushed him out of the window.
He let the driver go and grabbed him by the ankle as the driver screamed, dangling out of the window upside down.
“Sir!” Silas was shocked. They were in a lawful society!
Eileen’s accusation flashed in his mind and he asked coldly, “Do you know anyone by the last name Manning?”
“What? Man… Manning?”
The driver was so shocked that he couldn’t think and unconsciously said, “I do! I do!”
Silas stared at him wide–eyed. He couldn’t breathe.
Conrad pulled the man in and threw him on the ground.
“Say it. What did she want you to do?!”
The driver shook his head. The way he looked at Conrad felt as if he was looking at the Reaper.
Conrad raised his foot and stepped on his knee, crushing it.
“Ah! I’ll tell you everything…”
Esme finally reached Conrad and said happily, “Where are you, Conrad? Dad and Mom have been waiting for you so we can have dinner together.”
“I’m right at the gate.”
Esme was stunned. She could feel the coldness in Conrad’s tone, a level that she had never felt before.
“I’ll come get you right now!”
She hung up before happily running out of her home. Indeed, she saw Conrad waiting right outside the gate.
He had his back against the front of the car. He took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth before lighting it up.
She still hadn’t removed the bandage from her right eye. Her left eye looked at him in the darkness.
His thoughts drifted away into the past. When his attention shifted to the person in front of him, all he could feel was disgust.
“Why don’t you come in, Conrad?” Esme grabbed his arm and cracked a smile. “Dad and Morn are waiting for you.”
“Is there anything you want to say to me?” Conrad looked at Esme frigidly. He pulled out the cigarette in his mouth and flicked off the ash.
“Hm? The smoke’s choking me!” Esme frowned and waved a hand in front of her. “Why are you smoking again? Didn’t you stop?”
Conrad breathed in another mouthful before breathing out a screen of smog at Esme’s face.
“Esme Manning. I hope you can tell me everything about why you met that truck driver.”
Esme’s heart skipped a beat. When she raised her head, she had on the face of someone confused. “What truck driver?”
“Silas, bring him out!” Conrad pulled his arm away before walking away as well, creating some distance between himself and Esme.
He felt his hopes slowly being sapped away when she looked at him innocently.
Silas dragged the truck driver and pushed him in front of Esme.
