    “I’m not.” He panicked. He wanted to exin himself but he didn’t know what to say.


    Hesper scoffed. “Yes, you’re not trying to. All you’re doing is making yourself feel less guilty by


    spending money because you know that you’ve wrongly used me in the past. You knew they bullied


    me, so this is your way to feel better about yourself.”


    “No, that’s not what I was doing.” Rickard’s brows were in a knot..


    Hesper didn’t give him a chance to exin. “Stop denying it. If you really feel sorry, let me ask you this,


    after exposing what Sophia and Juniper did, what did you do? I want you to punish them, but did you?”


    Rickard spoke. “I’ve given Sophia a stern warning so she will not do anything anymore. I grounded her


    too. As for Juniper, I’ve given an order that she can no longer visit our home.”


    “That’s it?” Hesper wasn’t satisfied. She stood up and walked over to him. Her white bathrobe wasn’t


    covering her fair and tender skin well enough, so it peeked through as she walked.


    Rickard was shocked to find that he was very nervous, but being someone with status, he didn’t let it


    show. He sat there, unmoving; his eyes were like a hawk, locked on her body.


    “Rickard, you’re a powerful man. Is that all you can do when ites to punishing someone? You


    weren’t so nice to me.”


    She grabbed his hand and ced it on her left cheek then smiled a joyless smile. “This was where you


    pped me. Have you forgotten?”


    Rickard froze, the memories reying in his mind. He was very brutal toward her.


    “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. If you need to let out your anger, you can direct it at me, but…” He paused.


    He still had to care for his family. “Sophia is my sister and Juniper did all that because of me. You can


    do anything you want to me, but I hope you can let them off the hook.” 1


    Hesperughed. See, he hadpassion. However, thispassion wasn’t shown to her.


    “What if I say no? Are you going to hurt me again?”


    Rickard quietly observed the woman before him. She had changed so much. The old Hesper wouldn’t


    speak to him nor look at him that way, but now she was an elf of the night, fatal.


    “I don’t want to hurt you, but I can’t let you do whatever you want. We should keep what happened to


    us between us, alright?”


    “It’s toote.” She smiled. Rickard immediately knew that something was wrong. “What do you mean?


    What did you do?”


    Hesper elegantly looked at her fingers and smiled eerily. “Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon. Isaac, walk


    Mr. Duval out.”


    With that order, Isaac, who was hiding in the shadows, appeared.


    “This way, sir.”

    Before he was thrown out, Rickard heard Hesper pick up her phone and said, “Nate, you finally called


    me back…”


    The man’s iris shrank. Nate?


    So she had men other than Matthew? A curious feeling rushed toward Rickard’s chest. It was a mixture


    of helplessness and jealousy.
