Hestia did not know what Jessie and Zikmund were talking about, but she still decided to text Rickard and ask him to take Zikmund away.
After all, Zikmund was a burden to Jessie now. Besides, Hestia did not want to waste her time on Zikmund, so calling Rickard was the most efficient way to deal with the situation.
She assumed that the contract that Zikmund talked about was the contract that he signed with Jessie when both of them decided to fake their marriage. Hestia did not really care about the contract. After all, any contract could be resolved with money, and the last thing Hestia lacked was money.
Jessie did not know that Hestia had planned everything for her as she was still confronting Zikmund. Zikmund wanted to explain himself, but he struggled to find the right words
"I don't trust you staying here with Hestia. Do you even know what kind of family the Deschamps are?" Zikmund asked as he glanced warily at Hestia. "Do you really think that the current Hestia is the same as the Hesper you once knew?"
Jessie found it absurd that Zikmund's only defense was to badmouth Hestia.
"This is the safest place for me. Since the woman you brought into my life caused me to miscarry, I can never go back to you. You've lost my trust," she retorted.
This was the first time Jessie mentioned their unborn child and Zikmund's expression turned sour. "I told you, it was an accident..."
"Zikmund." Jessie and Rickard's voices rang out simultaneously. Zikmund turned his head around and saw Rickard walking toward him.
