Chapter 1095
"My apologies for making you witness such a spectacle." Quincey sighed, waving his hand to dismiss Juliette first. Despite Juliette's naive and foolish nature, she could sense that Quincey had something to discuss with the two of them, so she turned and left.
"I can't say much about Pierette, but you must be cautious around her. Don't believe a single word she says. Not a single one."
To speak of his own daughter in such a manner, it seemed that Pierette had truly lost all of Quincey's trust. Hesper nodded in understanding, holding onto Rickard's hand. "Don't worry, we will be cautious."
"Furthermore, the Mustafas have already sensed that the Rikihisas won't cooperate with them. You've been frequently going to the Rikihisas' villa lately, and many people have already started spreading rumors about you healing Shun."
Quincey picked up an invitation card that he got from Ranfik. "The Mustafas are going to publicly select a wife for Ranfik. If you have any plan in mind, you can take advantage of that opportunity to make your move."
Quincey handed the invitation card to Hesper. "This invitation is for you."
Hesper nodded as she accepted the invitation card, understanding that Quincey was placing his full trust in them. She raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid that we might lose?"
Quincey sighed, closing his eyes. "Whether it's a win or a loss, in the end, it's all just the same. Without you, the Savatiers might have already been completely defeated by the Mustafas. There's nothing more to say. At this point, all I can do is trust in you."
Holding the invitation card tightly, Hesper and Rickard exchanged a glance.
"Don't worry, we won't let the Savatiers fall before we uncover what we want to know."
Upon exiting the main residence, Hesper glanced at Rickard. His emotions were carefully concealed on his countenance today. Hesper understood that this was a moment when Rickard's thoughts were likely racing. They walked in silence, refraining from exchanging words.
"Pierette should know the whereabouts of Brigette," Rickard said.
Hesper nodded in agreement but offered a reminder. "Judging from Pierette's behavior just now, she's adept at playing the victim, but even Quincey doesn't trust her. It's clear that she's full of lies."
"Pierette still seems to be wary of Quincey." Rickard turned his gaze, his pupils contracting subtly. "And her words hinted at something. The Moreaus have known about the news regarding Brigette for a long time."
As Hesper pondered the words spoken by Pierette in front of Quincey moments ago, a wave of realization washed over her, only to be swiftly followed by a flicker of hesitation appearing on her face.
Camille had appeared remarkably sincere towards them, but it seemed odd for Pierette to tactfully remind them of that when she herself had no knowledge of them.
Therefore, it was highly likely that Camille had deceived them.
The hesitation and aversion displayed by Camille when the topic of Leafdelle Island was raised suddenly made perfect sense. It became apparent that Camille might have been aware of the island's existence and its true nature all along.
