Chapter 62
Hesper realized something instantly.
‘The way I looked back then was very different from how I look now. This sh*tsack has committed so many wicked crimes in the past, of course he wouldn’t remember my appearance as clearly as I expect him to.’
Thinking of this, her tone became colder and even a little murderous. ” It seems that you’ve been leading quite a great life all these years, and you haven’t stopped harming others throughout these past three years. I’ll give you a couple of hints. It was three years ago, and it happened in the Hawson Shopping Mall. Do you still need more clues for things to become clear?”
“Three years ago…” The man’s eyes rolled around as he tried to recall the incident. His eyes then widened abruptly in shock as he was overwhelmed by disbelief. “It’s you!”
“It seems that you still have an impression of what happened. This will make things a lot easier.”
Hesper hooked her fair, tender fingertip slightly, and the bodyguards who were standing by on both sides immediately started beating the
man up.
“Thud! Thud! Thud!” The sounds of fists hitting the man’s body
penetrated the air one after another, accompanied by the man’s loud and shrill screams.
“Help, please stop hitting me! Please stop!” The man climbed forward in extreme discomposure. His face was already severely bruised.” Ma’am, just tell me what you want from me. I’ll do anything as long as it calms your wrath.”
“Very good. Glad to hear that.” Hesper pursed her scarlet lips slightly,
and the aura that was enveloping her was extremely intense. “As long as you disclose the person who was behind the incident, this matter will no longer have anything else to do with you.”
The man thought about the pros and cons of the whole situation, all in a split second. He carefully probed under the threatening gazes of the bodyguards. “Ma’am, is that true? Will you really stop troubling me as long as I tell you the mastermind behind the incident?”
“This offer may change in a matter of seconds if you continue to give me such nonsense.”
“Don’t! Please don’t! I’ll talk!” The man huffed a long and trembling breath, no longer caring whether he offended somebody else.
‘From the look of things, if I insist on keeping my mouth shut, I might leave this place on a stretch or in a coffin.’
“It was Sophia Duval, the daughter of the Duvals!”
Hesper squinted her eyes. She had guessed the answer a long time. ago, but she continued to ask, “How are you so sure that it was her? Would Sophia be so stupid as to contact you directly?”
“It seems that you don’t know her…”
It turned out that Sophia led quite a chaotic lifestyle when she was in college that she even got acquainted with a group of gangsters on campus. In order to better make them obey her orders, Sophia chose to declare her identity from the very beginning to put some pressure on them.
She was in such a hurry to hire someone to drug Hesper back then that although she did so through a handful of middlemen, he still managed to find out that Sophia was the person behind the whole scheme after inquiring around for a bit.
“Ma’am, I’ve told you everything I know. I was blinded by the attractive payment. I also had a very ignorant mind and failed to recognize your
identity, which was why I dared to make a move on you. Please show me some mercy, ma’am. Please let me go.”
“Okay.” Hesper’s thin lips curled upward as she put on a malicious smirk. “But since you admit that you made a mistake, you’ll have to pay the price. I’ll naturally let you go after I think you’ve learned your lesson.”
“You… How can you go back on your promise?!” The man, not having expected her to do this, cursed at her furiously.
Seeing this, one of the bodyguards on the side grabbed the rag on the table and shoved it into his mouth.
“Ms. Lane. What should we do next?”
