Chapter 1114

"It’s been quite some time, Mr. Mustafa. I wonder when exactly you met my sister-in-law?" Hesper stepped in front of Camille. Ranfik was stunned for a split second by her heavenly face, but his expression immediately dimmed. "Ms. Moreau can’t be by your side all day every day, can she? I only met her by chance." As soon as they met each other, the hostility was at an all-time high, so it was only natural for the people around them who had been observing their interaction to sense the tension between the two. However, Hesper did not give off any excessive emotions and only grabbed Camille’s hand before taking a step backward. Ranfik raised his eyebrows but did not utter a single word. He only took a glance at Camille, who was now standing behind Hesper, and could not feel any sense of reliance. He saw her unintentionally looking back at him a few times. ‘If Camille makes the right choice today, it’ll be much easier for me to get my hands on information about the Savatiers in the future. However, if I make a wrong move today, it’ll mean keeping a spy from the Savatiers by my side in the future. Fortunately, I’ve thought everything through.’ Ranfik’s gloomy expression returned to the coldness and aloofness that he exuded before. He then glanced at Hesper fixedly as if deep in thought. "There are some things that I have to attend to at the moment, so I’ll be going upstairs. Do make yourselves at home." His gaze made Hesper feel a little wary, but he did not say anything after that. He turned around and went upstairs. Seeing this, Hesper frowned, wondering if she had missed anything. ‘Ranfik shouldn’t be so relaxed right now.’ Just as she was thinking about it, Rickard reached out his hand to hold hers, and Hesper finally recovered from her trance. She then looked back at Rickard, knowing that she should not have been distracted by Ranfik’s emotions. "Let’s find a place to sit first." "...Yeah, okay." Although the Savatiers were destined to be in the limelight that day, Hesper still did not want to deal with the irritating hypocrisy at this time. After all, the rest of her energy was reserved for scheming against Ranfik, so they went to a corner of the hall and settled down. Seeing this, everyone else instantly knew that the three of them were not in the mood to socialize, so they made the right choice of not approaching them. However, this harmony was quickly shattered as a sudden commotion broke out outside the banquet hall. Hesper subconsciously turned her head and saw Delphine entering the venue in front of a group of people. She was followed by about a dozen people, all of whom were from the Bernards. All of them seemed to be in a hurry, and those who did not know the details would think that they were there to create a stir. The corners of Hesper’s lips twitched, and she wondered which genius had raised Delphine into having such a spoiled temperament and allowed her to act so presumptuously outside. Her actions would surely bring disaster to her and her family sooner or later. But of course, Delphine did not care about these insignificant details. As soon as she walked into the hall, she looked around and became relieved when she saw that Ranfik was not there. That was when she met Hesper and her playful gaze. "Hesper Rivera!" Unlike others, Delphine walked over and looked down at Hesper, who was sitting on a couch. Because of the disparity in their heights, Delphine had to look up at Hesper every time they met, but now she finally got this opportunity. Everyone knew that Delphine and Hesper were not on good terms, so Hesper was not stingy with her ridicule. "Is there something wrong, Princess Elphie?" Hearing this, Delphine choked on her own words then deliberately looked around and scoffed.
