Chapter 681

Conrad squeezed the package that was less than twenty centimeters in his hand and contemplated throwing it

directly into the trash can. However, he knew that doing so would raise even more suspicion from Fia.

So, he found a small knife and opened the package before her to reveal its contents. It was wrapped in a white

plastic bag.

Fia approached him and snatched it away to open it herself.

Inside were some photos and labeled papers.

The photos were of Esme, and the labeled papers were in her handwriting. The words on the labels appeared

somewhat old, and the pictures were of Esme in her teenage years.

Fia’s hands shook, causing a few of the photos to fall to the ground. She held onto the labeled papers and began

deeply upset by his rejection, he called me half an hour later to say he wanted to take me and Fia to see the

Flowerhorn cichlid.”

Fia read several notes in one breath, all documenting Esme’s attempts to invite Conrad actively but being

continuously rejected before being followed shortly by suggestions of outing for both Esme and Fia.

Each time, Conrad would take them to activities that were interesting: observing Flowerhorn cichlid, crocodiles,

dinosaur replicas, and the famous people’s pavilion throughout the city.

As Conrad listened to Fia recite the contents, memories began to resurface. Since the start, when he planned on

making up for Esme’s invites, he always intended to bring along her timid sister.

They never had a truly romantic date like a couple would.

“Who sent this?” Fia’s heart turned cold as she held the photos and labeled papers.

Conrad gave her a blank look. “I don’t know.”

“The contents here accuse me of not understanding boundaries and asking if I needed to accompany you and her

every time you guys had a date!” Fia’s voice was sharp as she struggled to contain her emotions.

Conrad frowned and said seriously, “Back then, I simply assumed the two of you had a good sisterly relationship.

Since you were timid and had no friends, I didn’t think it was right to leave you alone.”

Fia took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. However, she failed and threw the photos and labeled

papers at Conrad.

“But isn’t he dead? Why does this make me feel like she’s still alive and watching us from the shadows?!”

Conrad pulled her into his arms and said forcefully. “Fia, please calm down, okay? We’ve had too many problems

between us and have wasted too much time. We can’t allow ourselves to be swayed or doubt. each other because

of someone else’s schemes!”

Fia smelled the cold, woody scent coming from him and took a deep breath, finally calming down.

“Fine. I want to know who sent this before the night ends.”

Then, she broke away from his embrace and sat at the desk, holding a pen and staring at a blank piece of paper,

but her mind was in disarray. She couldn’t simply calm down when something unpleasant happened and used

drawing to turn her mood around.

Being in the line of creative work, it was easy to be influenced by emotions. Carelessness could lead to a

creative block.

At this moment, Fia was unsure if she should mock or praise herself. Despite feeling upset and frustrated, she could

think calmly about her next steps beyond drawing. Perhaps she should pursue another profession that she enjoyed!

That way, even if she couldn’t produce designs in the future, she could still rely on another stable occupation.

Conrad stormed out of the office with a dark look on his face and called for Silas to investigate the delivery. Tiger

stood by and approached him once Silas left to do his bidding.

“Sir, could it be possible that the woman isn’t dead?” Tiger asked.

Conrad suddenly turned to Tiger and said, “If so, why was the DNA test we conducted before correct?”

Tiger lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. “If someone on the inside switched the samples beforehand, it

would be possible.”

“Who would’ve done that? That person must be a scapegoat!” Britney’s face flashed in Conrad’s mind just as he

finished speaking.
