Chapter 341
“You look really beautiful in real life, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life, just slightly lesser than me.” Riley put his thumb and forefinger together to show a small gap. His hand was finally free from Myriade’s tight grasp, but he still looked at her in pain.
Myriade pretended that she didn’t see him and stood behind Renfrew.
“…” Hesper was a little surprised at suddenly receiving compliments. Riley was a little too friendly and Hesper had never met anyone like him. She said, “If Myriade doesn’t want to leave with you, I won’t let you take her away.”
Riley wasn’t planning on bringing Myriade with him, so he waved his hand. “Whatever, if she wants to stay here, then stay. She won’t be able to come back though.”
Renfrew was confused.
Remembering something, Riley continued, “Myriade has a supplementary card and the credit limit is pretty high. I think it’s enough for you to take care of her until she’s seventeen or eighteen.”
The love Big T had for everyone else combined wasn’t even close to how much he loved Myriade. Even if Myriade was kidnapped, Riley believed that Big T would increase the card’s limit even if it was declined the next day.
It sounded like Myriade was rich!
Myriade had had enough of Riley, so she tugged at Hesper’s blouse and said, “Let’s go, Aunty Hesper. Ignore him.”
Riley snorted, but Myriade glared at him while Hesper wasn’t looking.
Riley was a weird person, so Hesper knew that she should bring the kids as far away from this place as possible. Riley looked like a normal pretty girl who seemed younger than her.
However, Hesper had a bad feeling about her.
It could be her sixth sense, but Hesper decided to follow her gut and left with the children.

Benji reported Zoya and Hesper’s outing to Rickard as he rubbed his temples while sitting on the
couch.
“Did you find out more about Riley Simms?”
“Yes.” Benji nodded. “That person is different from Zoya. He’s active overseas and used to be a famous psychiatrist. He became a guest speaker in a few institutions later on.”
“However, he lives as a woman even though he’s a man. That’s suspicious, so I’ve sent someone to find out more about him, but it’ll take some time.”
Rickard nodded. “Good job.”
Benji put the file away. He looked at how tired Rickard appeared and knew that he was very stressed out lately.
