Chapter 1109

Hesper never brought what happened up again. Something suddenly came to her mind. She handed a photo of Ranfik to the two. "This is Ranfik Mustafa." Camille's pupils constricted when she saw the picture. "That's him." Hesper was surprised to hear that. She thought about the man Camille mentioned. That was Ranfik? Why did he approach Camille? Hesper frowned. "Did he not tell you anything? He just pretended to bump into you?" "No, he didn't say anything or ask me who I am." Camille then suddenly remembered something. "Although he didn't ask, the lady at the front desk asked who the ID belonged to." Hesper and Sherese exchanged looks and Camille smiled a cunning smile. "But I was worried someone would use the information and try to get something from Sherese, so I just made something up and said the ID was my mother's." Camille understood why Ranfik approached her. "Ranfik must have known who the ID belonged to beforehand and thought I was Brigette's daughter." Sherese and Hesper looked at each other. Hesper frowned. "What is he planning now? Is he going to blackmail the Savatiers about this?" That didn't make a lot of sense. "We don't know what's on his mind yet, but he probably won't be able to keep it that way for long." Hesper looked straight at her. "I think we'll soon find out what his motives are." They were fortunate to find out something was up before anything happened, as they could take precautions. Ranfik Mustafa… They couldn't let their guards down for a minute. *** As expected, the night when Lamarie came home, she immediately rushed to see Hesper, looking grave. Lamarie had gone around attending parties at Hesper's request. They wanted to find out more before Ranfik's bride selection day. They caught wind that Brigette had another daughter outside who had returned to the island recently. "News travels fast." Hesper scoffed. Lamarie looked dumbfounded. "What do you mean? Does Rickard really have a sister?" Lamarie hadn't thought much about it before, as she brushed it off as a groundless rumor, but it was different now that there was an actual person. Did someone intentionally spread the news? "Hold on…" Lamarie suddenly remembered the maids saying that Hesper brought two people over. Was one of them Brigette's daughter? Seeing how the rumor had reached even Lamarie's ears, it had to have spread to others' too. Hesper was still figuring out how she would break the news to Rickard, as she promised Sherese she wouldn't tell Rickard, but now Quincey was asking to see her.
