Chapter 104
On the other side of the city, Juniper’s face was still not recovering after such a long time, and the elders of the Wights were all very anxious about her condition.
In the ward of the hospital, seeing that the face of her beautiful daughter had swollen so much, to the extent that she was on the verge of not being able to recognize her own daughter, Ariana’s heart hurt from the wrath within.
“Damn that b*tch! How can she be this cruel? A lady’s face is her most important asset. She’s just trying to ruin Juniper at this point!”
Ariana hammered her chest in frustration and alluded
intentionally to Julie, who was sitting on the other side of the room, “Madam Duval, the incident happened right in front of your house, and Rickard’s ex-wife is the one who did this. How do you plan to deal with this?”
“Don’t get too fired up, Madam Wight.” Julie forced a smile. She was called here by Ariana, and the two families had a great relationship, so it was only sensible for her to come and pay Juniper a visit.
However, Juniper’s condition was indeed worse than she expected. Julie could not come up with a solution at the
moment.
“That’s easy for you to say. It’s my daughter’s future that we’re talking about now. How can I not be pissed?” Listening to her evasive words, Ariana refuted her directly with a cold face.”
Madam Duval, forgive me if I sound rather offensive at this moment, but our families have been friends for so many years, so if our relationship were to be ruined by this matter, you should do the math to see whether it’s worth it or not. What’s more, this incident was caused because of Rickard at the end of the day. That b*tch must be jealous of my daughter because she’s gotten too close to Rickard, and that’s why she’s done something so ruthless.”
“I know, you’re right.” Julie reluctantly agreed but could not help but sneer deep down.
‘Are you saying that Dick is the one who caused this? Are you even listening to yourself saying this? If it wasn’t because of Juniper’s obsession over Rickard, would she even end up here in a hospital?’
But she could not utter this in front of the Wights, so she could only sigh and pretended to comfort Juniper. “Juni, you poor girl, I’m sorry that you have to suffer because of this incident. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely find the best doctors in the country for you so that we can heal your face.”
Ariana did not buy into Julie’s offer. “Madam Duval, we’ve
already contacted many doctors, but the key to the cure still lies with that b*tch. At the end of the day, we still need to start with her.”
“Then this is going to be difficult.” Julie did not want to be a part of this hot potato, so she immediately tried to come up with excuses. “Both of you should know that b*tch’s temperament as well as I do, shouldn’t you? So how do you expect me to talk her into handing us the cure? I’m afraid that the longer it takes, the more we’ll delay the treatment for Juni’s facial crisis.”
“Madam Duval!” Juniper was furious. How could she not
understand Julie’s cop-out and prevarication? She then
questioned her with bloodshot eyes, “Are you saying that your won’t help me with this matter?”
“I don’t mean that, Juni…”
“That’s enough!” Ariana, unable to stand it anymore, interrupted her coldly. She took a deep breath and said meaningfully, ” Madam Duval, you and Juniper have always been close, so of course, we know that you won’t do nothing about this matter. It’s just that it can’t be delayed any longer. After all, Juniper wasn’t the only one who wanted to get that b*tch killed back then. If Rickard were to know about it, I’m afraid that…”
Julie’s expression changed in an instant, knowing that she was being threatened.
Although she was Rickard’s biological mother and he would not do anything ruthless to her, the power of the Duvals was currently all in Rickard’s hands, so if she were to fall out with her
son…
“I understand, don’t worry. I’ll approach that b*tch right now, and get her to hand over the cure no matter what.” Julie agreed to help without any hesitation.
Ariana smiled but there was not even a trace of hilarity in her
eyes.
‘This old hag only wants to stay out of the matter after taking advantage of Juniper. Sorry, but there is no free lunch in my book!
