Chapter 298

Esme pursed her lips in grievance upon hearing Damian's harsh words. She looked up at him and said pitifully, "I know I'm at fault, Damian. I…I just couldn't say no when Stephanie begged me to help. I thought I could lend a hand since we were colleagues. I never expected things to turn out like this." Damian narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flickering in his gaze. He chuckled and casually replied, "Colleagues? You're colleagues with Zelda too. Why didn't you help her instead of Stephanie?" He looked right into Esme's eyes as he spoke, his gaze intense as if he could see right through her. Her hand trembled involuntarily. She couldn't tell him that she did it out of jealousy just yet. "Stephanie begged me to help after her miscarriage. I… I had no choice," Esme continued to force herself to explain. Damian glanced past her and stopped questioning further. He turned his attention back to the documents on hand and calmly said, "You'd better stop with your games, Esme."
