Chapter 22
“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, twice, then the phone was turned off.
Hesper felt her heart sink lower and lower.
She had forgotten that Rickard was off comforting Juniper. How could he possibly have time to pick up her call?
Hesper dialed Benji’s phone in pain and said to him with unprecedented seriousness, “Benji, we’ve been acquainted with each other for a few years, right? I’ve never begged you for anything, but I’m begging you to do me a favor today. Please have Rickard come to the hospital no matter what.”
“Mrs. Duval, uh…”
Benji was very troubled as well, but he understood Hesper’s living condition in the Duvals‘ residence. She even almost lost her life this time…
“I’ll try.”
In the end, Benji notified her, “Don’t wait, Mrs. Duval. Sir…isn’t coming.”
Hesper did not speak but laid in the soundless room with tears streaming profusely down her face.
She should have known, but she had refused to give up the idea.
Rickard had no regard for her. He didn’t in the past and he wouldn’t now that Juniper was back.
In fact, thinking about the phone–checking task, Benji may not have managed to find anything, but if she could send the phone to a specialized store, the professional would know if there was a voice clip.
However, Rickard had chosen not to do that and instead condemned her right away!
Meanwhile, she could only endure all the unjust treatments in silence. No one would stand up for her or believe
