Chapter 1093

Meanwhile, Sherese had heard the commotion outside, so she had already made a smooth escape by jumping over the wall. She stood in the corner, watching as Juliette walked toward Pierette's room with the Moreaus' servants. Sherese was more perceptive than Camille and instantly recognized Juliette's true identity upon seeing her face. 'She's Juliette Savatier?' Only after Juliette entered the room did Sherese emerge from the corner, startling the nearby servants. "Ms. Sherrie? What are you doing here?" "Hush." Sherese turned around and warned them with a stern gaze. "Don't tell anyone that I was here." Although the servants were puzzled by Sherese's action, they nodded in agreement. Sherese hurriedly made her way, anxious to avoid being discovered by Juliette. However, fate had other plans in store for her. Just a few steps away, she unexpectedly encountered Camille, whose countenance was filled with seriousness. "Sherese?" Seeing Sherese's appearance, Camille guessed that she had just escaped from Pierette's room and realized she had not been seen by Juliette. Camille immediately moved on to the next topic. "Hesper has been using my identity and my face on Leafdelle Island. When Juleitte saw me earlier, her expression seemed off. She might have recognized me." Sherese furrowed her brows, and before she could respond, Camille firmly grasped her wrist. "It's not safe to talk here. Let's go back." "Alright." At this point, the risk of exposure was insignificant. If Hesper's true identity were to be revealed, all the efforts they made on Leafdelle Island would likely go to waste. Both Camille and Sherese understood the gravity of the situation. However, what neither of them knew was that Hesper had long abandoned Camille's identity, so their worries were totally uncalled for. In their imagination, Hesper had just found her footing in Leafdelle Island. What they did not know was that in reality, Hesper had already become one of the most powerful people in Leafdelle Island. * Upon discovering Pierette's connection to the hallucinogenic drugs, Hesper grew increasingly silent. Her mind wandered elsewhere even as she tended to Shun's treatment. Meanwhile, Shun became deeply absorbed in contemplating the strategic positioning of the Rikihisa family, leading both of them to fall into a contemplative silence. "You don't need to rush in giving me an answer, Master Rikihisa," Hesper interrupted the words that Shun was about to speak. With a wistful smile and a sigh, she stood up. "Starting tomorrow, you won't need the medicinal baths anymore. You'll have more freedom with your time and can attend to the affairs of the Rikihisas." "I hope that while you enjoy these conveniences. You will give careful thought to what the Mustafas can bring to your family," she added. Having said her piece, Hesper nodded slightly and departed from the Rikihisas' residence. Watching her retreating figure, Shun shook his head and closed his eyes. Although Hesper did not overtly pressure him, the psychological burden weighed heavily on him. The more he contemplated, the more he realized the validity of Hesper's words. If the Mustafas could not bring benefits to his family, while Hesper extended an olive branch on behalf of the Savatiers, the choice was clear.
