Chapter 20
Rickard took a deep glance at her and casted a look at Benji so he would handle it.
However, it was at this exact moment that a mocking, female voice was heard. “There’s no need to
trouble yourself.”
Sophia and Juniper entered the room.
Hesper appeared to be agitated once again as soon as she saw them, her eyes filled with deep hatred
How dare you come here, you murderers!”
“You must be sick in the head, Hesper. Why would we have the courage to come here?”
Sophia mocked in a cold voice, “Weren’t you asking my brother to check our phones? I’ll fulfill your
wish. However, I’m just going to put this out bluntly. If you can’t find anything, I won’t pretend that
nothing happened after you defamed me and Juni like this!”
She handed two phones to Benji. Rickard nodded and Benji immediately left the room to deal with the
phones.
Sophia seized the opportunity to seek pity. “Dick, no one feels good after an incident like this
happened. It’s fine that you’re suspicious of me, but aren’t you afraid of disappointing Juni when she’s
nothing but sincere to you?”
Rickard’s entire body shook. Juniper took a glance at him, her eyes reddened with tears. She behaved
as if she was very aggrieved but forced herself not to show it.
His hands that were by his sides clenched tightly. He knew Juniper’s character more than anyone else.
She had always been extremely loving to small animals, so how could she possibly do something like
this?
However, he had no choice but to look into this matter because Hesper made her narration sound so
real
Soon, Benji came back with the two phones.
“How is it? Did you find anything?”
Benji shook his head. “Nothing… I didn’t find the voice clip mentioned by Mrs. Duval from either of Ms.
Duval and Ms. Wight’s phones.”
Rickard felt as if the blood in his entire body had frozen. He should not have doubted his closest family
members just because of Hesper’s frantic remarks!
Hesper refused to believe it. “That is impossible. The voice clip exists. Either Benji couldn’t find it, or
they deleted it in advance!”
“Hesper, are you done? You’re the one who acted crazy, but you’re also implicating so many people.”
Sophia rolled her eyes impatiently and behaved as if she was too lazy to pay attention to Hesper.
Hesper knew that they were all pretending so Rickard would not suspect them.
“Rickard, trust me that I’m not lying. There is a voice clip! Look into this properly, and you’ll find it for
sure!”
She grabbed the man’s shoulder recalcitrantly, only to be shoved away mercilessly.
“That’s enough!”
Rickard’s expression was cold, and his eyes looked like they were frosted over.
“You wanted to check the phones and we did. The result is already before you. How long are you going Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
to keep this up?”
Hesper was about to speak when Mdm. Duval came rushing to the room with the doctor. She let out a
grunt and said, “I heard someone speaking nonsensical remarks upon regaining consciousness. Make
way, Rickard. Let the doctor examine her properly to see if she might have hurt her head and lost her
sanity!”
Her remark was all mockery; Hesper could hear that. She declined loudly, “I’m not insane. I’m very
clear- headed, and I hold myself responsible for every word I say.”
As the doctor and nurses approached her, she backed away with all her might. She even grabbed a
pillow to throw at the staff members.
Rickard was still hesitant initially, but he found her behavior drastic now. He gave the order with a cold
expression, “Go and examine her properly.”
Hesper was pinned down against the bed by the nurses as the doctor pulled out a syringe of
tranquilizer. Before she was injected, she shouted at Rickard, “Believe me, what I said is true! I’m not
lying and I’m not insane either!”
