Stop It, She’s Remarrying!

Chapter 1005

Esme eavesdropped from the stairs and smiled, satisfied.

The next morning.

Fia heard noises as soon as she got off the staircase.

She followed the noise and saw Barbara being blocked outside by the bodyguards.

Barbara yelled, “I want to meet with your madam!”

The bodyguard simply shook his head. “I’m sorry. But, without Mr. Maxwell’s permission, no one is allowed to see the madam.”

When Barbara saw Fia, she quickly waved her hand. “Mrs. Maxwell, I’m here to see you!”

Fia nodded and said to the bodyguard, “Let her in.”

“I’m sorry, madam. However, Mr. Maxwell was very clear about it when he left this morning. We aren’t allowed to let you see any outsider,” the bodyguard lowered his head and replied. Fia said, “Give him a call and I’ll talk to him.”

The bodyguard was worried that she might hurt herself and the children in her womb, so he had no choice but to give Conrad a call.

Fia grabbed his phone and spoke in an irritated tone. “What’s wrong with you again? Are you imprisoning me? What did I do this time?”

Conrad closed the laptop before standing up and walking toward the French window.

“Listen to me, Fia. Someone broke into Victor’s home last night. I told them that to protect you.”

Fia said, “Don’t waste my time. I want to speak with Barbara. Tell your people to let her in!”

Conrad shook his head. “Barbara’s a bit too suspicious right now. It’s not safe for you to see her.”

“You’re the one that’s acting suspicious, alright?!” Fia said angrily to the point that she could feel pain in her womb. “I must see her today. Otherwise, you can forget about making me listen to anything you have to say anymore!”

Conrad stopped for a moment before saying, “Pass the phone to the bodyguard.”

Fia gave the bodyguard his phone back and the bodyguard was then given the order to let Barbara in.

As soon as Barbara walked in, the bodyguard said, “Miss Thomas, we’ll need to search your body!”

Barbara was speechless. “You’re searching me?”

“I’ll arrange for a female colleague to do so,” the bodyguard said in a stern tone. “This is as per Mr. Maxwell’s orders. I hope you can understand the need for this as the madam is in quite a precarious situation. We can’t take any risks.”

Barbara’s irritation instantly went away. If Conrad would do all this, it meant that he cared about Fla a lot. Which meant that there was a higher chance of their success!

“I’ll accept the body search.”

Fia then asked Sophia to perform the search. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After Sophia patted her down, she said, “She didn’t bring anything suspicious with her.”

“Go in, then.” The bodyguard gave Sophia a look.

Sophia followed behind Barbara without raising any wariness. She held the same opinion as her boss about this.

Regardless of who it was, they must be searched before seeing the madam. They couldn’t risk her for anything.

Once they were in the living room, Fia told everyone to leave with the exception of Sophia.

Once Mrs. Taylor left after preparing some tea, she asked Barbara, “Why are you here?”

Barbara said, “Esme is creating a rift between me and my father. Now, my father wants her to join his company as an assistant manager.”

“How?” Fia knew that Mr. Thomas had always been quite impressed with Barbara and wanted her to take over the company.

Barbara felt embarrassed and said, “She’s making rumors about me being a lesbian!”

Fia frowned. “You and Britney?”

“Yes!” Barbara said as she gritted her teeth. “My dad even sent someone to the place that Britney rented and caused a huge mess. She’s very hurt by this and refused to come out at all. If this continues, Esme is going to win!”

That pitiful woman’s face appeared in her mind. “The people that your father sent said something hurtful, did they?”

“No. My dad personally went there and he was the one that said those hurtful things,” Barbara said as she sniffed, and the tears that she was holding back finally rolled down.
