Chapter 672
Although Ehren was ready for an open and honest chat today, he did not expect Hestia to be this rude
and went for the most crucial question directly.
"What’s wrong?" Hestia met Ehren’s gaze and raised an eyebrow. "Can’t I ask this question?"
Ehren shook his head a little irritably. "The answer to this question is very long andplicated, so
give me some time to sort things out... The current decline that the Sulzbachs are going through all
branches from this matter. Do you know about the hallucinogenic drug case that Benjamin Lane and
Uncle Idris investigated together back in the day?"
"The hallucinogenic drug case?"
After reiterating what Ehren just said, Hestia paused for a short moment and then shook her head. "I
haven’t heard of it, and it hasn’t been mentioned in the information that I found... Is this matter
important?”
"Yes, the tragedies faced by the Sulzbachs and the Tuckers all stem from this case." Ehren’s voice
deepened.
Hestia subconsciously gazed at Nathaniel, but his face looked expressionless as if the Tuckers that
Ehren brought up had nothing to do with him.
Hestia nodded. "Then let’s start with this case. Besides, you definitely didn’te here to answer my
questions."
ncingnguidly at the faces of the two men sitting in front of her, Hestia straightened her posture.
"What do you want from me? I like everything to be listed out first so that I won’t be framed by others
with the terms and conditions thate with the information that I want."
"I want you to marry me," Nathaniel said directly, and before Hestia could say anything, Jessie’s eyes
had widened to the extent that her eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
‘No way, how this man presented his terms doesn’t even abide by basicw at all!''
Of course, Hestia did not think that Nathaniel proposed marriage out of love for her, so she lifted her
eyes and said, "Give me a reason."
"In exchange for the information that you want now." Nathaniel looked straight into Hestia’s eyes. "You
must have realized during this period of time that you can’t find anything about the Sulzbachs
anywhere else. Not even the informantwork that the Deschamps have always been proud of can do
anything about it."
Hestia knew that Nathaniel was telling the truth, but getting married would inevitably involve a lot of
interests.
‘Nathaniel doesn’t want to marry me but wants the Deschamps to help him with something. However,
it’s just a piece of news. It’s not worth me putting the entire Deschamps family forward as a bargaining
chip.’
"I need to think about it. You should know that I can’t make this decision easily." Hestia and Nathaniel
confronted each other.
Nathaniel nodded, took a glimpse at the watch on his wrist, and said, "I’ll give you twenty minutes to
think about it."
Jessie was dumbfounded.
‘At first, I thought Nathaniel was a very sweet person, but now it seems that he’spletely different
from the Mr. Polite that I imagined him to be... But why does it look as if Hestia still wants to think about
it?!’
Twenty minutes was not too short of a time period, but it was still a little too hasty for one to decide on a
marriage.
Hestia lowered her head and sent a text message to her father. She did not tell him what had
happened directly but asked him questions deviously instead.
[Hestia: Father, is the person from the Sulzbachs very important to you?]
The other party replied almost instantly, and the message was very concise, containing only three
words.

[Charles: They''re very important.]
Hestia knew Charles’s style of handling things. If it was not extremely important, he would not answer
her question in this manner.
[Hestia: What if the Deschamps have to pay a small price for the answer that you’re looking for?]
Charles did not answer directly this time around.
[Charles: What price are we talking about?]
