“If you don’t like it here, you can always avoid coming here. No one begged you to come, right?”
Madam Duval snorted in dissatisfaction.
‘After three whole years, this woman is still so presumptuous. Does she really think that I’m non-
existent?’
“Hesper Rivera, you took Renfrew away without any permission, and I haven’t even pressed the case
yet. Know your place and stop Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
swinging by, or I’ll make sure that you suffer!”
“Heh, Madam Duval, you really haven’t changed at all.” Hesper scoffed. She did not want to argue with
them when Renfrew was around, so she wished her good health with a rather sarcastic tone.” If this is
the case, you should really take good care of your health so that both of us could have long lives
ahead.”
“Do you think that I wouldn’t understand what you’re trying to say?!”
“Did you just manage to catch the point that I’m trying to make? Then it seems that you’re not as dumb
as I think you are.” Hesper let off an enchanting smirk. “Alright, that’s all from me for now. Bye, guys. I
wish you all sweet dreams tonight.”
After saying so, she turned around immediately, ready to leave.
Rickard frowned and stepped forward without any hesitation. Hesper.”
“Mr. Duval, is there anything else that you wish to bring up?”
”
Staring at her, countless words flashed across his mind, but only one sentence escaped his lips in the
end. “I’ll apologize on behalf of my mother and the others. They’ve been very rude since you arrived.”
“Apologize?” She scoffed and mocked him deliberately. “Mr. Duval, it just so happens that you’re here
to witness this scene live tonight.
What about all the previous incidents that I suffered in the past? Will you apologize to me on their
behalf too?”
“What else happened back then?” Rickard frowned.
Looking at his bewildered look, Hesper understood everything almost instantly. “So, you haven’t
listened to the recording pen that I placed in your study?”
“Recording pen? When did that happen?”
For a few seconds, Hesper gave him a profound stare, and then curled her thin lips upward, giving off a
smirk. “So you really have no idea of what happened back then? It seems that God deliberately made
things really difficult for me three years ago. Even though I placed the evidence right under your nose,
you still missed it.”
She chuckled at her own fate. “Forget it, since I never expected you to stand by my side anyway.”
“Just speak up already! What the hell went on back then?” Seeing that she was still about to leave,
Rickard grabbed her by the wrist.
Hesper’s expression turned as cold as frost in an instant. “You’d better let go of me. Don’t make me
embarrass you in front of your son!”
Rickard turned his head and saw Renfrew standing in the direction of the entrance. The little fella was
staring fixedly at both of them.
Rickard still had some scruples, so he slowly let go of his hand. “I already told you that if there’s
anything that you wish to bring up and talk about, we can always find a place, sit down, and talk about
it calmly. Why won’t you agree to this suggestion?”
She sneered. “When you get to the bottom of the whole matter and know what I had to suffer back
then, you’ll understand why I reject you now.”
After saying so, Hesper did not utter another word, and her slender figure quickly disappeared into the
dark courtyard.
Rickard trudged back into the living room, while Juniper, Madam Duval, and Sophia were still talking
about something indignantly,
none of them taking care of Renfrew.
“That’s enough!” Rickard let off a roar, and hints of anger could be seen surging from the bottom of his
eyes.
He then stepped forward and glared at Juniper. “Who told you to speak up just now? Do you know what
relationship we share? And you dare wrap your arms around me?”
Juniper was taken aback, and her voice subconsciously softened.” Rickard… Please don’t be mad at
me. I thought you didn’t want to talk to her, which is why I stepped forward to help you chase her away.
It’s all my fault.”
“Alright, Juniper only did so out of kindness. Why must you talk to her so fiercely?” Madam Duval
wanted to protect Juniper but was glared at by Rickard as soon as she opened her mouth.
