Chapter 427
Hesper pushed open the door and walked out of the office, only to see Evon right in front of her.
“Hmm? Mr. Etienne?” Hesper looked at Evons’s sneaky gaze and guessed that he was up to no good again. However, she did not have any evidence, so she could only force a smile on her face. Pulling a long face, Evon studied Hesper with an inquisitive gaze.
“If you don’t have anything to tell me, can you let me through? I’m going back home.” Hesper had a lot of things to do, so she did not want to waste her time there. She was pretty sure that she had never provoked Evon. She did not know why, but he kept making her hackles rise. He even went to the extent of destroying her work that she had been preparing for a long time.
Perhaps he was the kind of person who could not stand seeing others being better than themselves.
Hesper’s tone was not friendly, and Evon mumbled something. After a while, he let out a cold smirk. “It seems like you’ve finally decided to shed off your disguise. You’re just someone who utilizes your body to get ahead. What makes you think that you can talk to me like that?”
Hesper frowned and fell silent.
It turned out that the reason Evon was there was that he was eavesdropping on their conversation when they were inside the office.
“I finally understand why Mr. Pisano likes you so much. So, you guys are in that kind of relationship, Evon said. Even though he still sounded displeased, the disgust in his gaze had ebbed away a little. “If you had said so earlier, no one would have looked down on you.”
Evon’s words just made Hesper feel very confused.
“First of all, I got this position and won the bid based on my own efforts and ideas. I didn’t rely on anyone,” Hesper said, her face and gaze cold. “Secondly, Mr. Etienne, I’m absolutely sure that you’re the one who was behind what happened to my dress. Don’t get too comfortable; I’ll get the evidence and expose you.”
Hesper drew out her words toward the second half of her sentence, which sent a chill down Evon’s back.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Raising her eyebrows, Hesper continued, “Whatever you say, Mr. Etienne. But you’ve heard it too. Mr. Pisano and I have a special relationship. If I find out that you’re doing something fishy again, I won’t go easy on you. You’d better pray that day won’t come soon.”
Hesper was still pretty angry on her way back.
Even though she was able to temporarily intimidate Evon by emphasizing her relationship with Pennleigh, she was very certain that the longer she dragged on the matter regarding the destruction of her work, the less likely she was going to find any evidence to hold Evon accountable for his action.
Suddenly, Renfrew’s face appeared in Hesper’s mind.
‘How could I forget about him? He was able to block the camera and ran away from home by himself last time. Since he has learned a lot of new skills recently, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to look into this matter, right?”
With that thought in her mind, Hesper sent a message to Renfrew.
