Chapter 637


    With those words, he swiftly turned and went out.


    As Hertha watched his hurried figure receding, a bitter taste spread in her heart. It was a feeling of


    resentment and disappointment.


    Sure, she had won over Georgia, but ric hadn’t acknowledged a rtionship with her. In the end,


    she was nothing more than a shield for him to reject Georgia.


    “Don’t beat yourself up. You were amazing just now. I wish I had your fierce spirit,” Thssa said,


    having witnessed the whole thing between Hertha and Georgia.


    Thssa had been ready to step in and help Hertha, but seeing how well Hertha handled the situation,

    she decided to simply observe, ready to jump in if needed.


    Hertha truly was awesome. She didn’t need anyone’s help.


    Thssa felt invigorated just watching Hertha.


    Startled from her thoughts, Hertha turned to Thssa with her big and round eyes filled with


    mncholy, and asked, “Do you think ric would ever like me?”


    “He didn’t reject you, did he?” Thssa responded.


    Hertha’s eyes lit up at that, her spirits lifted. “You’re right, he didn’t reject me. That’s the best start I


    could hope for! There’s a chance he might ept me. Thssa, you’re my lucky charm, cheering me


    up.”


    In her joy, Hertha yfully pinched Thssa’s cheek.


    Thssa quickly removed Hertha’s hand. “Good thing I didn’t put on makeup, or you’d have smeared it


    all over!”


    “You’re already so beautiful without makeup. How can others live if you put it on?” Hertha joked.


    “Oh, by the way, how did your talk with Captain Payne go?” Hertha asked, having been too busy with


    her own battle to pay attention to Thssa.


    Thssa shook her head and said, “Lysander showed up. He and Captain Payne are good friends.”


    Hertha was dumbstruck. It meant Thssa’s efforts were in vain.


    She patted Thssa’s shoulder,forting her, “It’s alright; we’ll find another way.”


    “We should go. If Lysander sees me here when hees out, he’ll get mad. I don’t want to drag you


    into this.” Thssa suggested.


    “I’m not afraid of getting involved. I just don’t want him to bully you. Let’s go,” Hertha grabbed


    Thssa’s hand and quickly left the venue.


    She came today for ric. Now that he was gone, there was no reason for her to stay.


    In the lounge, Lysander and Payne sat face to face. Payne sipped his coffee leisurely. “A child under


    five can’t testify in court. But a child’s words aren’t without reason. Lysander. what’s your take?”


    A child’s words couldn’t be used as evidence. But there was no smoke without fire. There had to be a


    basis for what they said.


    Lysander paused, looking deeply at Payne. “That’s why I wanted to talk to you.”


    “Oh? You’ve noticed the peculiarities too?” Payne asked.


    “My grandfather refuses to ept the investigation. He trusts Robert, as he’s been working at the


    Sinir’s house for over a decade. He’s diligent and honest, and hasn’t made any mistakes in all these


    years,” Lysander exined.


    “It’s easy. Just investigate without your grandfather’s knowledge,” Payne suggested, “I agree with what


    Ms. Everhart said. Only by finding the true culprit behind Sybil’s death can we truly rest her spirit.


    Otherwise, not only will an innocent person be med, but Sybil’s soul won’t rest in peace.”
