A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Julie and Sophia weren't at Genecity, but Hestia would eventually get to them... Now Rickard was there and seemed to feel guilty about Hesper, so Hestia wouldn't let the opportunity get away. Half an hour later, Benji got a call from Hestia asking to see her office by tomorrow morning.

Benji knew she wasn't being friendly. He prepared an office right after she left the office, so he confidently said, "We have it ready, so you can come any time."

"Oh, really?" Hestia ordered the furniture movers and raised her brows. "I want the office across from Mr. Duval's. I hope you've arranged for that one, or you'll have to make more arrangements." There were no single-room offices across from Rickard's rooms; they were all big rooms. Hestia had been there, so she had to know.

Benji agreed while awkwardly chuckling. Hestia hung up happily and watched as her home was slowly decorated, then smiled. This was the bungalow next to Rickard's home that she bought at a high price. If Rickard loved to spy on people, she was going to let him.

"We're done, Ms. Deschamps." Hestia nodded and let the movers out, then went to the couch and laid down.

Since it was the house next to Rickard's, the layout was similar to his. Hestia had a weird sense of familiarity the moment she stepped into the house, but remembering how Hesper was previously treated, she couldn't just sit around.

"Even though you're a little dumb, your idea was good," Hestia mumbled, then stood up and walked into her walk-in closet to look at herself in the mirror. She never questioned her looks. Rickard looked like he felt very sorry for Hesper. If she suddenly approached him, she believed he would fall for her. When that happened, she would dump him cruelly and withdraw all the investments of the Deschamps family, leaving him without a lover or any money.

"Perfect."

Hestia winked at herself in the mirror but she was calm. Her father said the most useless thing in the world was love. Even though her parents were close, love like that was as rare as an asteroid hitting the Earth. The chances were close to zero.

She had stopped being moved by relationships.

Hestia turned around and at the same time, her phone rang.

"Ms. Deschamps?"

It was a familiar voice. Hesper checked the name and realized it was Myriade's brother from that morning, so she replied, "How's Myriade now? I'll go visit when I have time."

"She's much better." Nathaniel smiled. "After you left, I looked into your identity and realized that you're from the Deschamps family. I'm sorry for missing that."

Hestia's eyes turned dark, but she still smiled. "Why did you tell me about looking into my identity?"

"I'm sorry. We're not like other people. I was worried that people would try to approach me through Myriade."

Hearing that, Hestia sighed. "This is the first time I met someone who's more shameless than I am."
