After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 820

Chapter 820

"They were already sentenced to death anyway," Clare said dryly, acknowledging that he was not invincible.

But now he carried the honor and disgrace of the entire Hipps family on his shoulders.

Thinking about everything he was about to face, thinking about his elderly parents, he kept telling himself in his heart that he was the backbone of the Hipps family. He had to be tough and protect all of them.

He looked Ronnie straight in the eye with a determined gaze. "I must become a diamond-level prisoner. I will take down the boss and... get out."

The cool ointment applied to his wounds gave him some temporary relief from their burning pain. He wasn't trying to be tough; rather, it felt as if he were lying quietly on the bed like an animal struggling for survival.

Ronnie watched stubborn Clare with a sigh deep in his heart. The old Mr. Clare used to only love playing piano; like an elegant artist, Mr. Hipps and Mrs. Hipps held up all matters concerning Hipps family affairs.

However, since Tammy and Skyla returned home recently, everything within the Hipps family became chaotic - even more so than before - almost as if they were going through Armageddon soon.

Ronnie's heart couldn't help but ache painfully at this thought: it would be destroyed soon because of these two women who brought nothing but trouble!

He harbored immense resentment towards them deep inside him: If given a chance to escape prison too someday, then he would personally finish those mother-daughter!

Inside a hotel room...

Hipps family affairs involved many people especially since they originally belonged among Aettosa's first noble families whose glory spanned nearly 100 years!

Hipps family has always been known for its military achievements; they safeguarded Aettosa's peace for decades! In Aettosa residents' minds, the Hipps family represented honor itself!

Not long ago, thirty years ago, Mr. Hipss led his family's air force against terrorists who had been harassing border areas for years. They finally wiped them out, bringing peace back into the border regions once again. At that time, it made international news headlines, and people praised Hipss' family endlessly, knowing full well that the family is indeed Aettosa's guardian angel.

Hipss family has always managed the Air Force Campaign Department, which is envied by many people everywhere and considered one of the most important positions there is anywhere!

It wasn't until Clare's generation came along that things changed drastically. Instead of following tradition and continuing the military legacy, Clare preferred playing piano and music, which made countless enemies laugh behind their backs. They never imagined what happened last year when Clare suddenly entered the Campaign Department without warning anyone beforehand!

And Clare quickly rose through the ranks, achieving numerous military victories. This was like a crazy slap in their faces.

They wished that the Hipps family would immediately fall from grace and become a lazy aristocracy living off their wealth, rather than being the backbone of an empire with immense power and influence.

Many of the online supporters who usually praised and liked the Hipps family continued to create posts supporting them on social media. Some even set up websites pleading with the president to investigate thoroughly and clear Hipps family's name. After all, this family was not just any ordinary aristocracy; they were heroes! They had made great contributions to their country and people!

However, as more people petitioned for them, the angrier it made the president feel. He felt that his authority was being challenged strongly. Wasn't he like those ancient emperors whose decisions were questioned by his subjects? Did he still have any imperial dignity left?

Therefore, after seeing what happened to Hipps family, Sylvia did not immediately take action with Franklin. Instead, she secretly went to see Mrs. Hipps and Mr. Hipps at their apartment.

The two elderly people were already in their late years; they looked thin and frail compared to when Sylvia last saw them at a grand banquet hosted by Hipps family before its downfall.

Looking at these two old people's haggard faces made Sylvia's heart ache inexplicably.

"We are now like dogs without homes," sighed Mrs. Hipps upon seeing Sylvia arrive, "I never expected Mr. Maskelyne or Miss Andrews would come visit us."

She then ordered her butler to serve tea for everyone present.

Sylvia sat down on a sofa beside Franklin while looking around this small apartment measuring only one hundred square meters - so different from what she remembered about how grandiose and spacious Hipps mansion used to be - feeling somewhat desolate inside her heart.

Mr. Hipps also let out a sigh. "Nowadays many avoid us as if we're locusts swarming over crops; it is rare that you both came here today."

"To be honest," said Sylvia without beating around the bush, "Clare and I are friends; my friend Mollie found me seeking my help in saving him."

"What did you say?" The old Mrs. Hippss suddenly looked shocked upon hearing this news from Sylvia. "Are you serious? Do you know what kind of situation our family is currently facing?"

"Miss Andrews, please don't joke like that," Mr. Hipps regained his composure and quickly said, "What could our Hipps family do to deserve your help?"

He knew that Franklin and Sylvia had some skills, but... to save the Hipps family? How was that possible?

"I don't know why, but every time I see someone from the Hipps family, I feel a strange sense of closeness. Maybe... that's what people call fate," Sylvia smiled. She was beautiful with clear eyes. Her smile made people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.

"And I also know that the Hipps family has been wronged. I can't bear to see good people suffer unjustly."

Mr. Hipps closed his eyes lightly and choked up for a moment before saying, "Thank you very much Miss Andrews and Mr. Maskelyne for your offer to help us out of this mess."

The crime committed by the Hipps family couldn't be explained in just a few words or easily resolved.
