“If you haven’t done anything to betray me, then what are you afraid of?” Rickard grabbed her by the wrist and subdued her firmly within his arms as cold and stern words escaped between his thin lips. “I’ll never let anyone deceive me or hide something from me, so you have to go through the test whether you like it or not!”“You bastard!” Hesper cursed at him exasperatedly, and the walls of the mental prison that had been used to contain and suppress the grievances within herself finally crumbled at that moment.Her clear eyes welled up gradually and tears blurred her vision. Hesper could only hate herself for not finding out that he was such a person before this.“Rickard Duval, this relationship between me and you cracked a long time ago, and we didn’t file for a divorce only because of your family. If you dare treat me like this, I’ll never forgive you!”Hearing this, the level of Rickard’s anger skyrocketed.‘She just seems to love to bring up the fact that our relationship is

A minute later, Hesper’s examination results emerged from the slit in front of the printer.With just one glimpse, the doctor explained to Rickard with a strange expression, “Mr. Duval, we’ve found fluid residual in Mrs. Duval’s vaginal cavity... And the test result shows that it’s not blood nor ordinary vaginal discharge.”Rickard’s expression turned gloomy instantly.‘If it’s not blood nor her vaginal discharge, what else could it be?’“How dare you...”Rickard’s bloodshot eyes were fixed on Hesper, infuriated.After hearing so much argument from her before this, he had started to really think that she was innocent. However, it turned out to only be an excuse for fearing that her filthy doing would be revealed!“Hesper Rivera, you whore!”“This is impossible, there must be a misunderstanding!” Hesper trembled from head to toe.She knew her own body inside out. She clearly remembered that the person who drugged her last night did not succeed, and she had never done anything t

“Stop right there! You just flushed the Duvals’ reputation down the toilet, yet you’re actually shameless enough to come back here?!”A porcelain mug was thrown at Hesper’s feet, and the expression on Madam Duval’s face looked vicious and spiteful.Sophia immediately seconded her mother’s disapproval. “That’s right. If I were to have committed such a shameful act, I would’ve jumped straight off a building and ended my disgraceful self long ago. Please enlighten me, just how did you muster the courage to bring yourself to the precinct and launch a police report? You even had the confidence to come back and roam freely around your in-law’s house as if nothing’s happened?”Hesper stared at the mother and daughter without making a single noise.She knew very well deep down that those two men would not have made her a target out of the blue for no reason.‘Those bastards were most probably instigated by these two. And judging from the morally righteous tone that they’re adopting while

But her calmness infuriated Rickard. He clenched his hands tightly, so much so that his knuckles gave off cracking noises. “Juniper has fallen ill because of you, and you still have the guts to deny everything?”Hesper laughed out loud abruptly. “You’re the one who’s asking me if I did it. I’m telling you that I didn’t, but still, you choose not to believe me. Must I be the person who’s caused her to fall sick? Do you really think that I have such great capabilities that I can lay a finger on the regal Ms. Wight?”A hint of hesitation flashed across Rickard’s face, but at that moment, two women entered the room, supporting Madam Duval.“You slut, how dare you lie in front of so many witnesses! So many servants in the villa saw with their own eyes how you talked back to me and humiliated Sophia and Juniper!”With snot and tears dribbling down all orifices on her face, she cried as she complained to Rickard, “Dick, she also said that even though she slept with another man, she’s stil

For a short moment, Rickard pinched the wine glass tightly.‘Hesper’s feelings for me? That was a long time ago, and judging from what she’s been doing recently, I can no longer believe in her.’“If you feel so sorry for her, you can go down there and kneel with her!” Rickard said coldly, shutting Benji’s mouth immediately.The two continued to stare at Hesper silently. She remained in a straight posture from the beginning to the end as if it was the only thing she could do to protect her dignity.A long time went by, and the sky slowly darkened.Hesper was tottering in the rain when a pair of spotless leather shoes appeared in front of her all of a sudden.Hesper slowly lifted her gaze, and the first thing that entered her vision was Rickard. He was standing in the rain with a black umbrella, staring at her indifferently.“Do you know what you’ve done wrongly?”Hesper opened her mouth, felt a burning sensation on her lips as if they were being torn apart from each other, and s
