Chapter 231
Rickard and Hesper looked at each other in silence, but Hesper won.
Rickard couldn’t stand seeing her cold gaze, so he turned and left.
“I don’t think Rickard did this.” Hesper finally spoke after a long time with an unusual calmness. “I know him. He’s not someone who would stoop so low. Find out if there were other suspicious people.”
“Alright,” Renee replied.
Hesper turned on her laptop and looked at the share prices that had kept stable, then couldn’t help but sigh.
‘Renfrew, when can I finally bring you home?”
Hesper missed her child, and he missed her too.
Renfrew wouldn’t have felt sad if he never experienced the joy of having his mother around. There was a saying, ‘I could walk through all darkness in life if I never met my mother=’
The poet Renfrew sighed at the setting sun and was ready to go back to his room with homework in hand.
The homework that Ms. Myriade gave him recently had gotten more difficult. Julie and Sophia kept bothering him in the room. He couldn’t handle it, so he would just hide in the little garden. The duo wouldn’t be able to find him, so they would just forget about him.
Right when he was going back to his room, there was a buzzing noise from in front. He slowed down and hid among the bushes.
“Are you crazy? Why did you come here? Didn’t I wire the money to you already?”
It was… Sophia?
Renfrew held his breath and listened, but Sophia and the stranger were very careful. They were whispering even though there was seemingly no one around, so it was difficult to hear.
“You’ve lost your mind. Now you’re asking for $70,000 more?”
Sophia suddenly spoke out loud and the man immediately said, “You’re asking me to attack Ms. Lane. I won’t be able to stay in both Emperion and Genecity. $70,000 isn’t that much.”
“You should remember that I have proof of our conversations. If I go to Ms. Lane, you’re going to get in
some serious trouble!”
When Renfrew heard that it was about his mother, he immediately started recording with his phone. Even though he didn’t get the first part, he got the part where the man talked about attacking Hesper.
After a few more exchanges, their voice lowered again. Renfrew hid in the corner and only came out when the voices stopped.
Sophia was trying to attack his mom again!
Renfrew pouted and turned on his signal blocker, then went back to get his bag. He learned how to jam
