Chapter 1115

"Is there no one else in the Savatiers? Why are there only three of you?" Hesper smiled and stared at Delphine with a hint of sarcasm beaming in her eyes, but because her almond eyes were wide open and innocent-looking, she looked extremely harmless. Delphine gritted her teeth, only to hear Hesper’s response. "It’s not like we’re here to participate in a beauty pageant championship, so why bring so many ladies along?" At first glance, the Bernards must have sent more than a dozen people here, all of whom were women. Even the members of the Bernards would not believe it if one were to claim that the Bernards did not come with an ulterior motive. Delphine’s face paled when she heard Hesper’s refutation. After all, everyone knew that she and the Mustafas were not on good terms. When the Bernards asked her to bring so many ladies here, that made Delphine feel rather ashamed, and Hesper actually sold her out directly. ‘...This is so embarrassing!’ Based on what they knew about Delphine’s brilliance, even if she were given all the chances that she could get in this lifetime, it was still impossible for her to outshine Hesper when it came to arguing, so the ladies behind Delphine pulled her back as soon as they saw this—— Ever since the Grand Interfamily Tournament, the people below had not been as respectful to Delphine as before. Although Delphine was dumb, she could still feel the change in attitude to some extent. She could only leave when she saw how they reacted. The environment finally became silent again, and Hesper came back to her senses. She took a look at Rickard then realized something. "Wait, Delphine didn’t even take a glance at you when she came over just now. Did she come all the way here just to quarrel with me?" Both Camille and Rickard kept quiet. Hesper seemed to have the ability to make her opponent so infuriated that they even forgot what they wanted to do in the first place, and she achieved that just by opening her mouth. After a period of silence, a loud noise came from the direction of the entrance all of a sudden. This time, Hesper and the other two lifted their heads too, and when they saw the people entering through the door, all three of them simultaneously gave off a wide smile. Naturally, the people who had just arrived were Shun and his granddaughter, Yuko. Like the Savatiers, the Rikihisas only sent three representatives: Shun, Shinra, and Yuko. As soon as she saw Hesper, Yuko immediately grinned and walked over. Because they had talked about this before, Yuko only came here as part of the formality. As for Ranfik, he was a smart man, so he knew that even if he chose Yuko, he would still be rejected in public, so it was only natural for him to not want to take this risk. "I didn’t expect Grandpa to recover so quickly." Shun had never left his room before, and since she had only heard from her father that her grandfather’s health had improved immsensely, Yuko could not believe it until she saw her grandfather standing in front of her that same day. He looked healthy and tough, just like many years ago. In fact, in Yuko’s memory, she only remembered her grandfather as a man who was always ill. Now seeing Shun standing well among the crowd felt very surreal to her. Before the exchange of pleasantries ended, the people who had seen Shun and were extremely eager to know more about his condition surrounded Shun and Shinra. This scene caught Yuko’s eyes when she turned her head around; she could not help but feel a little worried. "Is Grandpa’s health really all right?" "Don’t worry." Hesper stood up, and all the languidness that she had been exuding all this while disappeared at once. Her time to perform had come, and whether she could profit from Ranfik’s event all depended on what she was going to do next. A few gleams of confidence flashed across Hesper’s eyes. "Master Rikihisa is in very good health now. Everything will be fine." Sure enough, Shun, who was surrounded by the crowd, had a ruddy complexion, and he did not look like he was so ill that he was about to die as rumored. Remembering that Hesper had been treating Shun recently, many people connected the dots after seeing how Shun was doing now.
