    Chapter 70


    Rickard wanted to say something, but amotion could already be hearding from behind him.


    Hesper stared at him indifferently. “Do you still want to subdue me here?”


    Rickard did not budge at all, and during this short period of hesitation, Isaac had already caught up to


    them with the other bodyguards and shielded Hesper behind him immediately.


    “Ms. Lane, are you okay?”


    “Yes.” Hesper shook her head.


    She then turned toward Rickard and said coldly, “I’ll make myself clear now once and for all. I don’t


    wish to see what happened today happen ever again. So, Mr. Duval, please pay more attention to your


    future actions!”


    She turned around with the men, ready to leave with them.


    Rickard was still not reconciled, so he gnashed his teeth and asked, ” Even if you have nothing to say


    to me, what about our son? You’ve been away for three years. Don’t you n to meet him again?”


    Hesper stopped for a split second.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    ‘Why would I not want to see him? I’m the one who gave birth to him. I’ve never stopped thinking about


    my baby every second of those three years.’


    But she did not look back and straightened her posture. “That’s none of your business too, so stop


    intervening in my affairs.”


    After saying so, the group of people strode away.


    At this time, Benji caught up to Rickard. Seeing him standing alone in


    the corridor, he asked cautiously, “Mr. Duval, the youngdy…”


    Rickard remained silent. The man who had always been aloof could not help but feel an indescribable


    loneliness at that moment.


    Benji thought for a bit andforted him. “The youngdy has changed a lot in the past few years.


    Perhaps she still hasn’t let go of the past, and that’s why she still has a very repulsive attitude towards


    you. I think it’ll improve as time goes by.”


    Thinking of the changes that had happened to her, countless doubts appeared at the top of Rickard’s


    mind. “Go and find out how she became the director of Lane Holdings. And who are those bodyguards


    who were addressing her as Ms. Lane just now? It’s best to get to the bottom of what she’s done in the


    past three years.”


    “Okay, I’m on it.” Benji agreed immediately.


    ‘We couldn’t find anything before this, but now that the youngdy has resurfaced, it’ll be much easier


    to investigate from now on. But…’


    He suddenly remembered something and handed a document to Rickard. “Mr. Duval, we’ve got our


    hands on more information about the person who hired those men to drug the youngdy back then.


    Ms. Duval was indeed the one who did it. And Madam Duval… She probably knows about it too.”


    Because they had found arge amount of money being transferred to that man through Sophia’s bank


    ount, and the amount was sorge that it was not a number that Sophia could pay out of her own


    pocket at the time, that could only mean one thing. There must be someone lending her a helping hand


    from behind the curtains.


    Thinking of his mother and sister doing such a thing without telling him, Rickard shivered for a split


    second.


    ‘Hesper was still my wife back, and grandfather even showed his full support toward our marriage, yet


    they still had the guts to do


    something like this to her. So what would they do to her if she had no


    one supporting her?’


    Just thinking about it, Rickard could not help but feel infuriated.


    “Let’s go, we’re heading back home.”


    Sophia had be more obedient in the past two days, as she was afraid that she would do


    something to provoke Rickard. She even treated Renfrew a lot better than she used to.


    At the moment, she was watching a drama with Madam Duval in the living room, and she was not in


    the mood to care about Renfrew, who was ying with Wanda at the side. If nothing had happened in


    the past few days, she would have driven them out of the living room.


    “Ma’am, miss, Mr. Duval hase back…” A servant came in and reported Rickard’s arrival, but


    before she could finish the second half of her sentence, Rickard had already stepped into the vi.


    When Sophia caught a glimpse of his expression, she subconsciously wanted to get out of the living


    room but was halted by Rickard.” Where do you think you’re going?”
