The relationships were complicated.
Hestia gave up on sounding nice and just stood there while Jessie spoke.
Finally, Jessie was tired. Kenji opened a bottle of water and handed it to her. Jessie took two gulps and watched while Celine's head hung lower.
"I'm so sorry, I've wronged you."
"There's no point saying that now."
Hestia held Jessie by her shoulder which made her take a step back, giving Hestia more space to perform.
"I know you've been sending money to someone every month. Do you think I don't know who the money was going to?" Hestia sat down on the couch and calmly said, "I just don't understand how you met her and why you would give her money."
Celine was sure Hesper knew who she was wiring the money to, so she immediately felt guiltier.
"If memory serves me right, you have a missing sister."
Hestia wasn't very sure when she said that, but it was too much of a coincidence and the few sentences in the report covering this part didn't prove anything. However, Celine's expression confirmed everything.
"It's Rachael?"
Celine's head snapped up in shock, but Hestia still looked calm as if she didn't just expose a shocking truth and was just making conversation.
