“Stop right there! You just flushed the Duvals’ reputation down the toilet, yet you’re actually shameless
enough to come back here?!”
A porcelain mug was thrown at Hesper’s feet, and the expression on Madam Duval’s face looked
vicious and spiteful.
Sophia immediately seconded her mother’s disapproval. “That’s right. If I were to have committed such
a shameful act, I would’ve jumped straight off a building and ended my disgraceful self long ago.
Please enlighten me, just how did you muster the courage to bring yourself to the precinct and launch a
police report? You even had the
confidence to come back and roam freely around your in-law’s house as if nothing’s happened?”
Hesper stared at the mother and daughter without making a single noise.
She knew very well deep down that those two men would not have made her a target out of the blue for
no reason.
‘Those bastards were most probably instigated by these two. And judging from the morally righteous
tone that they’re adopting while accusing me, they make it seem like they’re 100 percent sure that they
own the moral high ground here. But anyone who’s not blind and knows them should know that they’re
just two whores who are putting on a show to stay out of this whole farce.”
“Are you done?” She glared coldly at the two of them, and her piercing gaze actually looked rather
deterrent.
She then scoffed and continued, “You two and I, we know very well what the truth looks like behind all
these righteous accusations of yours. Is your conscience really as crystal clear as you’re making it out
to be when you’re putting up such an act? Aren’t you two afraid
that you’ll be sent straight down to hell when your times are up?”
Madam Duval had always been a religious person, so she had always taken karma and the afterlife
very seriously.
Hearing this, her expression dimmed in an instant.
Wanting to defend her mother, Sophia stepped forward immediately to give her a slap her in order to
teach her a lesson. “You, shut your trap! You can’t even remember who you slept with and you actually
have the guts to talk back to mother and me?!”
Hesper reacted instantaneously, grabbing her tightly by the wrist and stopping her from getting any
closer. “You keep on claiming that I slept with some random man, but I know for sure that I didn’t! As for
you, what makes you think that you’re in a position to rebuke me on this matter? You’re just a woman
who’s been in and out of countless relationships and has been upholding a private life that’s no less
than chaotic. I bet you’ve gone through several abortions in quite a few of the local hospitals, haven’t
you? So you might think you have the
moral high ground here, but do you really have the ground to criticize me?”
“Nonsense! What are you talking about?!” Sophia was shocked.
‘Those are all my private affairs and I’ve made sure that all information related to these matters is very
well hidden, so how did this b*tch know about them?’
However, there was no way that she would admit her doings. She gnashed her teeth and raised her
voice. “Do you still plan to pretend that nothing’s happened? We already know about the results of your
physical examination. The doctor already mentioned that they’ve found a foreign fluid sample of
unknown origin in your body! Yeah, you hear me right, a fluid sample of unknown origin!”
Sophia deliberately placed a lot of emphasis on her tone while
uttering the last sentence, as if she was trying to imply something.
Hesper still could not figure out what had gone wrong with the test results, but looking at Sophia’s
arrogant expression, she could not help but feel that something seemed fishy.
“How do you know my test result?”
‘It’s obvious that Rickard hasn’t come back home, and even if he had, he would never disclose the
news to his family members. No one knows better than I do just how big that man’s ego is.’
“I… Isn’t it obvious that Dick is the one who told us about it?” A hint of trepidation flashed across
Sophia’s eyes.
However, Hesper was not someone who would be easily fooled. “Is that so? If that’s the case, I’ll give
him a call and ask him about this now.”
“Don’t you dare call him!” Sophia panicked and forcibly snatched her cell phone from her palm.
Seeing that the mother and daughter still could not get the upper hand after all the attempts, Juniper
taunted Hesper. “Why are you doing this? Everyone knows what you’ve done now, so even if you try. to
talk back to Madam Duval and Sophia, you’re not fooling anyone. I think you should stop putting up a
fight and admit your mistake. Maybe Madam Duval and Sophia will let this matter slide for the sake of
your baby.”
“Can you stop being such a b*tch?” Hesper had tried to ignore her for as long as possible, but she
could no longer bear it anymore.
“This is the Duvals’ place, not the Wights’. So you, the young lady of the Wights, just came back from
abroad after such a long time, but instead of staying in your own home with your family, you’ve been
staying here at the Duvals’ shamelessly all day, every day. Please don’t tell me that you and Sophia are
such close friends. Or are you staying here because you wish to run into someone else more
frequently?”
“You…”
“Am I wrong? I’m not done with you! Even if Rickard and I are going through a harsh period now, I’m
still the rightful hostess of this villa. So, let me make this clear once and for all, you are not welcome Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
here! So get out of here!” Hesper did not even give her a chance to speak at all.
Juniper did not expect that she would do this all of a sudden, so her
cheeks flushed.
“So this is it, this is it. You’ve finally shown your true color!” Madam Duval, furious, pointed at Hesper’s
face and yelled, “Just who do you think you are? How dare you address yourself as the hostess of this
household? You’ll never be such a thing as long as I’m here, so get
out!”
