novelxo Chapter 644
Benji was already quite shocked by the fact that Hesper slipped out of her office under his nose, but he was even more surprised when Rickard suspected that Hesper might have slipped out more than once. Although he was also busy with the tasks at hand and was occasionally distracted, he still kept an eye on Hesper most of the time and never saw her going out.
However, when the surveillance footage was downloaded onto a computer, Benji realized just how naïve he was.
Hesper had gone out more than two or three times. As soon as his attention was shifted away from her, she would immediately seize the opportunity to get out of the office, and during this time, she had already visited the entire Duval Tower.
Compared to the trip that Benji brought her along to take a rough look around the company before this, Hesper seemed to be looking into everything in Duval Group. She stopped by the reference room and archive room for quite a long time before heading back to her office.
Benji was staring at the footage intently when he suddenly saw Hesper smile and wave at the camera as if she had expected that they would go through the surveillance.
"What's going on here?" Benji was shocked. "Ms. Rivera's observation is rather insane, isn't it? I didn't see her leave at all... And I understand that she could do so when she was trying to leave, but how did she do it to that extent when she came back?"
Rickard pondered for a moment and said, "She might have learned something that you couldn't think of in the past six months."
'Such as reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.'
Hesper's ability to learn had always been beyond doubt. Rickard was only wondering why Hesper would learn these things.
'Logically speaking, the Deschamps should've provided her with an absolutely safe environment, and it's rumored that the patriarch and matriarch of the Deschamps love her very much, so why would Hesper learn reconnaissance skills?'
After briefly explaining things to Benji, he understood the horror behind Hesper's actions now. "Then doesn't that mean that I won't be able to keep an eye on Ms. Rivera at all?"
Benji frowned. And it seemed that Hesper hesitated for a long time in front of the reference room when she got there. Loads of important materials that belonged to Duval Group were stored in that room. Although Hesper did not seem to show any reason to sabotage Duval Group, one could tell at a glance that her intention did not look kind.
"Kenji will be back tomorrow... It seems that something big is about to happen in Genecity, so it's good news if he's back," Rickard spoke lightly.
Benji nodded immediately and replied with a smile on his face, "He just finished his mission a while back, but he refused to tell me when he'll be coming back when I asked him the question a few days earlier." "You brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. If it weren't for the complicated situation that we're in, I would let you off for a few days."
Just when Benji was about to feel moved, he warned himself inwardly not to empathize with the evil capitalist and then went back to his workstation to work hard with tears rolling at the bottom of his eyes. Rickard was speechless for a short moment after that.
On the other side, Hestia inspected the entire office and made sure that there were no other hidden cameras. She then sat on her chair and slowly took out the miniature camera from her collar and imported its content into her laptop.
"I got my hands on the internal structure of Duval Group."
Hestia looked at the full-length video on the computer, and the corners of her lips could not help but twitch as she took a sip of coffee in a good mood. "You might be good at talking back, Rickard Duval, but so what? We'll see who gets the W at the end."
Looking at the information on the screen, Myriade frowned for a while.
"Big T, in the document that the Deschamps gave to Hesper, there's no description about you... Even if there is, it's next to nothing. Mot even your name is mentioned in the documents, let alone Daybreak." Nathaniel took a glance at the monitor with interest but was also a little puzzled.
"The Deschamps had come across Daybreak on a few occasions before this, but I don't remember forming any friendship with Charles Deschamps." Nathaniel thought for a moment and continued. "Has there been any progress in what happened half a year ago?"
