However, they did not expect Rickard to actually assign a bodyguard to watch her on a 24-hour basis. Let alone a man, not even a fly could fly near her. Sophia and Juniper did not manage to figure out a way through the entire night. Just as they were at a loss of what to do, news came from the hospital that Hesper was already awake.“What should we do, what should we do? Rickard will hate us if she tells him everything.”Juniper assumed a panic-stricken expression at last. Had she known that Hesper would be so foolish, she would not have done that to Hesper. But she did do it, and not only did she not finish off Hesper, it was possible that she could be exposed at any moment.Juniper considered herself lucky that she and Sophia were on the same boat while it was very apparent that Sophia would not make peace with the current situation willingly. “Mom, can’t you just bring a few women and barge into the room when Dick is not around? We’ll just say that her body was too weak to
Rickard did not answer the question. Sophia and Juniper accused him of not believing them, but everyone told a different version of the story.Who should he believe then?“Rickard! It was you who asked me, but you now won’t believe me?”Hesper bit her lower lip tightly. She realized that since the baby was not wrapped in the bundle, Sophia and Hesper’s goal was for her to die!She was injured so severely that she was on the brink of death, yet her husband was still hesitant about who he should believe…She was extremely disappointed and utterly furious. Had it not been for Rickard, would she need to go through this?Rickard furrowed his eyebrows when he noticed her stare. “Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t say that I don’t believe you.”“If that's the case, you should hold them responsible for this matter! Why aren’t you doing that yet?”“Each of you sticks to your own side of the story. How am I supposed to hold anyone responsible before the matter has been inves
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’
The reply she received was the man waving his hand in a cold, dismissive manner. Hesper’s world turned gray and dark once again. The doctor determined the diagnosis soon. “Sir, Mrs. Duval has some bleeding in her body that caused nerve compression, perhaps due to the severe injuries she suffers from. This has resulted in her hallucination and disorientation.”In other words, perhaps the voice clip mentioned by her never existed from the start and everything was a result of Hesper’s hallucination. Meanwhile, Juniper stepped forward and said in a grieving tone, “If that's the case, why is she only targeting Sophia and me? We didn’t provoke her or anything.”The doctor was already bribed by Madam Duval from the start. He said as he was ordered by her, “It is very normal for the patient to subconsciously regard her most hated person as her enemy during the hallucination episodes. In fact, the patient will even take herself for the innocent party and attempt to deal with the issue
“So what if I am? Go and complain if you can. See if my brother is willing to humor you!” Sophia cracked a provocative smile while Madam Duval reminded her from the side, “Don’t speak too much to the little b*tch. Who knows if she has been plotting on her own? It would be bad if she were to record the conversation.”Hesper pursed her lips. She was indeed planning on doing that, but she did not have the chance yet. Madam Duval grunted and said, “Hesper, consider this incident a lesson to you. It would be best for you to keep your wicked ideas to yourself. Otherwise, no one will save you next time!”As spoke, she left gracefully with Sophia. Hesper did not have the courage to let her guard down. Sophia and Juniper had already been bold enough to try to kill her, so there was no telling what they would do. She had to do something to make Rickard believe her, or she would be living in fear from that day onward. She pulled out her phone to call Rickard. Her call was rejected once,
Rickard came the next day. Hesper had not slept the entire night. She only managed to fall asleep in the morning for a short while before someone kicked open the door strenuously. The man removed her blanket crudely, his anger still not vented. “Wake up! How do you still have the nerve to sleep?”Hesper opened her eyes in a daze, and there was still drowsy confusion in her eyes. She could only see the people before her clearly after a few seconds. It was Rickard and Juniper. He held her hand in an intimate manner that made him seem like he was defending her. Hence, the moment Hesper had been anticipating felt like a joke. She felt bitterness in her throat but forcefully kept up her appearance and refused to show her emotion. “What’s going on?”Rickard said through clenched teeth, “How do you still have the nerve to ask me what’s going on? You vilified Juniper, and now that the truth has been revealed, you’re supposed to apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness.”Hesper
Rickard beckoned Juniper to go ahead. Juniper had no other choice but to make her way to Hesper’s side, though she was 12 times more vigilant than usual. “Speak your mind, Hesper.”Hesper stared at Juniper for a few seconds before she leaned forward ever so slightly and whispered into Juniper’s ear. “You know what you and Sophia did. If you insist on forcing me to apologize to you, aren’t you worried that karma will strike? Or that I won’t let you off but haunt you in death?”In addition to her own guilty conscience, Juniper was startled by Hesper's cruel, vile remark. She backed away two steps instantly. Rickard stretched out his arms to catch her and scolded Hesper in a stern voice, “What did you do, Hesper?”“I didn’t do anything. Don’t you want me to apologize?” Hesper raised her head and smiled at him innocently, but her beautiful face appeared broken. She laughed aloud and said, “What? Is Ms. Wight still not satisfied with my apology? If you’re not, I can continue.”“It’s
Hesper returned to the Duvals’ villa. Sophia and Madam Duval did not show themselves recently. She had no idea if these two people would continue to be cruel to her, so she was especially cautious. When she arrived at the door, she heard faint voices talking and laughing in the house. Madam Duval, Sophia, Rickard, and Juniper were all playing with her baby joyously in the living room. Juniper held the child and even the usually cold Rickard had a faint smile on his face. It was a joyful, happy scene that made them look like they were a complete family!“Who gave you permission to hold my child!”Hesper could not hold back anymore and ran into the house. In view of how cruel Juniper was, Hesper would never believe that she would treat the baby kindly. Juniper hid herself behind Rickard with a fearful expression before Hesper’s hand could touch the hem of the baby’s outfit. “Rickard…”“Why are you acting like a madwoman, Hesper?” Rickard stepped forward to scold her, his eye
