Chapter 43
A minute later, Hesper’s examination results emerged from the slit in front of the printer.
With just one glimpse, the doctor explained to Rickard with a strange expression, “Mr. Duval, we’ve Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
found fluid residual in Mrs. Duval’s vaginal cavity… And the test result shows that it’s not blood nor
ordinary vaginal discharge.”
Rickard’s expression turned gloomy instantly.
‘If it’s not blood nor her vaginal discharge, what else could it be?’
“How dare you…”
Rickard’s bloodshot eyes were fixed on Hesper, infuriated.
After hearing so much argument from her before this, he had started to really think that she was
innocent. However, it turned out to only be an excuse for fearing that her filthy doing would be
revealed!
“Hesper Rivera, you whore!”
“This is impossible, there must be a misunderstanding!” Hesper trembled from head to toe.
She knew her own body inside out. She clearly remembered that the person who drugged her last night
did not succeed, and she had never done anything to betray her marriage.
“Doctor, did you make a mistake during the examination?”
“Mrs. Duval, you’d better stop, or I’ll sue you for defamation. I’ve been a doctor for more than two
decades, and I always take my patient’s conditions very seriously. I’m only giving you the truth based
solely on the test results, so don’t slander me!”
“I don’t mean that, but I really didn’t…” Hesper could not argue
anymore. At that moment, she had already forgotten about the humiliation that she was facing and only
wanted to find out the truth.
“That’s enough!” Rickard abruptly let out a hoarse roar and continued with extreme disgust beaming
from the bottom of his eyes. “Hesper Rivera, this is it. Just how much longer are you planning to put on
an act and resort to sophistry? If I had’t insisted on bringing you here for an examination, would you
hide it from me for the rest of your
lifetime?”
“What have I and the Duvals done to deserve such a filthy wife like you?!” He scoffed to himself and
exited the room.
“This shouldn’t be the case, there must be a misunderstanding!” Hesper wanted to explain herself; she
was not prepared to let others tarnish her innocence.
But as soon as she got close to Rickard, she was pushed to the ground by his bodyguards.
Rickard glared at her as if he was looking at an arch-enemy. “Don’t you dare touch me. You’re as filthy
as any human can possibly be!”
Hesper’s pride was hit so hard that she stumbled backward and bumped into a warm embrace.
“Are you alright?”
Having failed to meet up with his contact, Matthew was so annoyed that he got a headache, which was
why he had come to the hospital to get his hands on some medicine for his condition. But what he did
not expect to see was Hesper getting shoved by someone else.
“Who is he? Is he an accomplice of those people from last night?”
Upon hearing the question, Rickard’s eyes narrowed instantly. “How do you know what happened to
her yesterday? Are you the one who saved her?”
Matthew still did not know what was happening yet. His expression looked calm and unconcerned. “It’s
no big deal. I only lifted a finger.”
However, Rickard waved his hand, motioning his guards to surround the stranger. “So it’s indeed you.
Since you’ve presented yourself to us, you can forget about leaving now!”
Matthew’s expression twitched, but before he could say anything, his assistant who was standing next
to him responded to the bodyguards ‘ actions. “I must say, you people have some guts. But do you
know who this man is? How dare you fence him in?”
Rickard took a cold glance at the man standing in the center of his men for a while; he did not know
who he was, but he somehow looked rather familiar.
And within a few seconds, Matthew’s assistant had already notified and summoned their bodyguards
who were standing by in the shadows. Soon, the two groups of men were getting ready to confront
each other.
At this time, someone whispered something to Rickard right into his ear, and the way he looked at
Matthew changed almost instantly.
“I see, you’re Matthew Lane, the infamous young master of the Lanes from Emperion.”
Matthew looked at him indifferently, and there seemed to be a hint of wrath flashing across his eyes.
“So, do you still plan to get your men to make a move?”
Rickard pressed his tongue against his upper molars.
‘I’m not afraid of this bastard, but I don’t want to make a huge fuss out of this matter. Otherwise, if word
of Hesper having an
extramarital affair with this man were to get out into the public, that’s the end of the Duvals’ reputation!’
