Chapter 1120

‘If Ranfik wanted to bribe me with money, he could’ve just sat down and named his price, but he didn’t. Could he really be planning to corrupt me through the power of capitalism?’ Camille found this a little funny, but Hesper frowned when she heard her story. "What are you thinking?" Sherese bumped Camille in the shoulder With honesty, Camille poured out everything that she was thinking. She saw Hesper’s eyes light up as if she had just had a lightbulb moment. "I see." All three of them looked at Hesper simultaneously, and Hesper rolled her eyes slightly. "We have to approach this matter from Ranfik’s point of view. First of all, why did Ranfik choose Camille as his wife among so many ladies on Leafdelle Island?" Camille pondered for a moment and responded, "It’s because I’m a member of the Savatiers, and he thinks that I’ll hate the Savatiers and betray my family." "Yes." The chandelier reflected on Hesper’s eyes as she looked at Camille. "If you'd indeed been feeling rather unhappy about the life that you'd been living before, with him widening your horizon by showing you the prosperity of Leafdelle Island and the financial prowess that the four major clans possess, would you feel even more upset?" After hearing her explanation, everyone in the living hall fell into deep thought. Even Camille felt her heart flutter for a moment. Such action was indeed a little too extravagant; that was something that someone living outside of Leafdelle Island could never experience. "Except for Delphine, the prodigal daughter of the Bernards, it's almost impossible for anyone to go on a shopping spree like this, but what Ranfik wants is to tip the balance in your heart even more. That way, he could turn you into a sharp dagger and use you against the Savatiers." Camille was silent for a moment then could not help but heave a sigh. "It seems like he really has chosen to corrupt me through the power of capitalism." Now that they knew what Ranfik’s plan was, the rest were only insignificant details, so Camille took the initiative to suggest, "In the future, whenever I come into contact with Ranfik, I’ll come back and talk about it with you guys so that we can study his scheme in advance. Just in case something were to come up out of the blue and catch me off guard." Hesper nodded. After that, everyone tacitly went back to rest without saying anything else, as they had been busy all day. This matter had come to an end. However, Hesper still had something on her mind even though Ranfik had not launched his next attack—— Pierette had gone into hiding after returning to the Savatiers. If it was not for the fact that Hesper had constantly been thinking about her, there was a high probability that her existence would have been completely ignored. She had to deal with the Mustafas and Ranfik because she'd involved herself in this matter and had to fight for her own good. However, her most important goal was not to lead the Savatiers back to their peak but to find out the truth about the the hallucinogenic drug incident from back then, including the culprit behind it, and also to find her father. The progression of these matters had been stagnant recently. "I want to meet Pierette tomorrow," Hesper said suddenly. Rickard quickly came back to his senses and nodded. "I’ll go with you." Although the two had been facing each other honestly recently, since she was still in the middle of investigating whether the Savatiers were related to the incident, Hesper continued to to look at Rickard with a trace of hesitation in her eyes. As if he knew what Hesper wanted to say, Rickard spoke up for the first time. "To me, the Savatiers are mere strangers that happen to share the same blood as me, so if they’re truly the culprit behind the hallucinogenic drug incident, don't just blame me for everything." Looking at Rickard’s dark eyes, Hesper remained silent. Then she nodded and stretched out her arms, taking the initiative to hug him. Rickard heard Hesper whisper in his ear, "Then you’ll have to promise me that you won’t leave me in the future."
