Chapter 1094

Why go to such lengths and give up a partnership with the Savatiers? Shun chuckled helplessly at the thought. Perhaps Hesper simply wanted to gradually change his perspective. Regardless, in the end, he would still stand on the Savatiers' side. Hesper hurriedly left after she received a message from Rickard, informing her that Juliette had brought Pierette back. For both her and Rickard, Pierette played a significant role. After all, Pierette held the secret of the hallucinogenic drugs and was the older sister of Juliette. She might know things that others did not. Returning to the Savatiers' estate, Hesper headed straight for the main residence. As she entered, silence greeted her. She raised her gaze and indeed saw several people seated nearby. Upon hearing her arrival, their gazes shifted towards her. "Hessy, you're back." Juliette nodded at Hesper, who returned the gesture and approached them. "Were you all waiting for me?" "Yes, we've been waiting for you," Quincey said. Pierette, who had been standing at the side and keeping quiet, cautiously looked up and cast a brief glance at Hesper. There was a hint of astonishment in her eyes—she had never seen this person before. 'Rivera… I wonder who she is…' "You managed to disappear and live off the grid all this time. What prompted your change of heart?" Quincey inquired, his voice dripping with icy coldness, devoid of any joy one would expect from a reunion with his own daughter. He fixed a piercing gaze upon Pierette, his eyes conveying a distinct sense of detachment and scrutiny. "I've heard that the Moreaus respect you greatly," he continued. Upon hearing this, Pierette immediately kneeled down, leaning against Quincey's wheelchair. "I did have a decent life in the Moreaus, but I know it was all thanks to my sister's kindness. I constantly felt restless and tormented, yearning for both the Savatiers and for you.That's why I wanted to come back." 'Sister? If she's not talking about Juliette, then is she talking about Brigette?' Hesper glanced at Rickard, but there was no discernible change in his expression. Even Hesper could not fathom what Rickard was thinking right now, so she had no choice but to turn her head away. Pierette's submissive demeanor intrigued Hesper, but even Juliette, who usually had a good temper and would only show her fangs at Delphine and Ermine, stood silently on the side. It was evident that the relationships among the individuals present were quite tense. Unable to extract much information from their brief conversations, Hesper stood silently on the side, observing the changes of emotions among the group. Failing to glean any meaningful information from their fragmented words, she turned to Rickard once again and walked over to his side. "Now that you're back, don't think about leaving again," Quincey said expressionlessly, his gaze lowered. "Enough with the tears. We won't buy such behavior anymore." Pierette's face briefly froze in response to his words, and Hesper could not help but notice the subtle change in her expression. She arched an eyebrow, realizing that Pierette was definitely not someone to be underestimated. It appeared that Quincey had uncovered something about her, resulting in her expulsion from the island under peculiar circumstances. Could it be connected to Rickard's mother and the hallucinogenic drugs? Before she could dwell on it further, Pierette stood up, wiping away the tears from her face. "Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I truly want to be by your side to serve you, Dad. After all, I'm your daughter, and I'm the person who holds you most dear in this world." Quincey turned his head slightly, and Pierette stopped wasting time. "I'll go back to my place for now. When you want to see me, you can come find me." With that, Pierette left the main residence. Hesper watched her retreating figure, feeling somewhat perplexed. She turned her head to face Quincey and Rickard, still unsure about the exact dynamics between them all.
