Chapter 1087
He did not expect that the Savatiers would suddenly recall such a capable member. It seemed that many major events had happened on Leafdelle Island and shook the entire island while he was unconscious.
"Being able to make friends with people like Hesper Rivera and Rickard Duval is probably a brand new option that we’ve never encountered before this."
Before this, the situation on Leafdelle Island seemed rather foggy and dim. Apart from the Mustafas who could be faintly seen taking the lead, the rest of the families seemed to have gotten lost in the fog, watching themselves degenerate and fall closer into perdition as time went by.
The hallucinogenic drug incident was one of the events that brought the most despair to all the families.
"Then I shan’t disturb you anymore. You should get some rest." Shinra rarely heard praises from his father, but he also knew deep down that Hesper was the one who forced him into making this choice earlier that day, so he could not help but let off a wry smile.
‘Some people just have to admit that they’re destined to be mediocre their whole life.’
...
On the other side of the ocean, Sherese opened her eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling above her in a daze. Only after a while did she remember that she had been imprisoned in the Moreaus’ water prison by that idiot Ermione.
‘But, now... Did someone rescue me from that God-forsaken dungeon?’ Feeling the softness of the king-sized bed underneath her body, Sherese frowned, turned her head around, and scrutinized the room that she was in, only to find that it was Camille’s room.
‘This… Does this mean that Camille has finally returned to the Moreau mansion?’
Sherese sneered and laid back down with peace of mind for a while.
‘That’s right! If Camille didn't come back, judging from the unmatched stupidity that Ermione possesses, she’d never have realized that she had locked people of such great importance into the water prison. That woman has always been vengeful and fastidious. Whatever that’s awaiting Ermione ahead is surely not going to be comfy. In other words, she’s doomed.’
"Have you woken up?" Camille came in from outside the room and turned on the warm yellow lamp by the bed.
Sherese knew that pretending to sleep could not fool Camille, so she yawned, opened her eyes, and stared at Camille who walked to the bedside with a couple of pills. "It’s been a long time."
Camille’s hands froze in the middle of the air, and she responded, placed the pills on the bedside table, and stretched out her hands to help Sherese up. "There are many wounds on your body. Did Ermione lay her fingers on you?"
"Who else would it be other than her?" Even though Ermione was not the one who hit her, Sherese could still feel a sharp pain all over her body and could not help but sneer. "Ermione might look like a harmless little rabbit on the surface, but deep down, she’s actually an ambitious idiot."
"Stop talking and take these pills first." Camille rubbed her nose and handed the pills to Sherese.
Sherese grabbed the pills from her and took them in one go. Although they were very bitter, she had already gotten used to it. "She’s smart for not doing anything to Pierette, I’ll give her that much."
Putting the mug aside, Camille’s face turned cold. "Pierette wants to kill Ermione now. However, although Ermione has done some stupid things, dealing with her is my problem. If it wasn’t for..."
She took a glance at Sherese and did not continue speaking.
"As always, she’ll surely use my mother’s name to one-up you. I’ve gotten used to it." Sherese lowered her gaze, and it took her a while before she realized something. She then stared at Camille with an astonished expression. "Why aren’t you on Leafdelle Island...? Weren't you supposed to have gone to Leafdelle Island with Rickard?"
Hearing Sherese mention it, Camille turned her eyes. "I didn’t go. I told Hesper to go to the island with Rickard."
Sherese was at a loss for words for a moment, but she did not seem to be surprised.
"Pierette might not have come back to her senses yet, but when she does, how are you going to explain things to her?" Sherese asked with a frown.
