Chapter 1098

Sherese nodded, snapping back to reality. "You're right. Soon... we'll be able to see them." * On the other side, Hesper furrowed her brow as she looked at Lamarie in front of her. Laramie could not help but feel a sense of unease. She cleared her throat and huddled deeper into the couch. For the past ten minutes, Hesper had suddenly appeared and had been staring at her with a pensive expression. Even though she did not say anything, Lamarie felt a chill down her spine. Apparently, she was up to something no good. Lamarie finally could not bear it any longer and spoke with a stern face. "Do you know what time it is now, Hesper? If there's nothing important, I'm going to bed." "Don't go." Hesper held onto Lamarie, smiling in a pleasing manner, her eyes shining brightly. "I mean, you've been in the Savatiers for so long, you must have learned how to be a virtuous wife and mother, right?" Even though Lamarie knew Hesper probably had something up her sleeve, she could not help but nod as she met Hesper's sincere gaze. "Although I can't say I'm a virtuous wife and mother, I have received that kind of education since I was young. I can only say it's for securing a future." It had to be said that Lamarie was truly versatile. She not only showcased her skills in the tournament but also efficiently managed the affairs of the Savatiers in regular times. And now, it appeared that she excelled in this aspect as well. Hesper nodded, finding it rather amusing. Then, with a determined expression on her face, she said, "Ranfik is soon going to choose a wife for himself. I've been contemplating this matter. As one of the four major families, it would appear as if we don't value our relationship with the Mustafas if we don't send someone." Upon hearing Hesper mentioning Ranfik, Lamarie's expression turned cold. She gritted her teeth as she looked at Hesper's smiling face. "Don't even think about it, Hesper!" Hesper held onto Lamarie's hand. However, with Lamarie's strength, she could not break free from Hesper's grip. She could only grit her teeth and glare at Hesper. "How dare you betray me, Hesper? You're as good as dead!" "Calm down," Hesper said, her grip on Lamarie tightening. "I'm not suggesting that you actually marry Ranfik. Just do your best to make him choose you from the group. Who knows, he might actually develop an interest in you." "Hesper!" Lamarie shouted again, causing Hesper to sigh helplessly. Hesper released Lamarie's hand and explained, "Alright, alright, don't be so angry. Am I not discussing it with you now?" Lamarie's eyes burned with anger as she glared at Hesper. "Is this what you call a discussion? You're basically trying to tie me up and present me directly to Ranfik!" Noticing their current position, Hesper cleared her throat. "To be honest, there really isn't a more suitable candidate in the Savatiers right now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have turned to you for help." With a pitiful look in her eyes, Hesper gazed at Lamarie after delivering her plea as if her life hung in the balance. It was an unusual sight to see Hesper begging Lamarie, and Lamarie could not help but close her eyes briefly. "Please, just give me some time to think it over, alright? I'll inform you as soon as I've made a decision." Hearing Lamarie's response, Hesper dropped her previously pitiful expression and nodded. "That's wonderful! With your assistance, I'm confident we can create quite a commotion for Ranfik." Lamarie was left speechless. "I haven't agreed yet," she sighed. While her rationality acknowledged the validity of Hesper's argument that stirring up chaos for Ranfik would be beneficial, Lamarie hesitated to employ seduction tactics, particularly in the intimidating presence of someone like Ranfik, who possessed the ability to freeze her with a mere glance.
