Chapter 37
"Why would you ask that?" Juniper frowned, looking surprised. "Do you suspect that I did it? Or do you think I would be happy about it?"
Rickard didn't reply. Juniper's reactions seemed normal and her behavior didn't seem odd. He couldn't find a reason to convince himself that she had anything to do with this.
After a few seconds, he spoke. "I was just asking."
Juniper was relieved but she still looked wronged and unhappy about it.
Sophia jumped at the opportunity and stood by her side. "What are you doing? You used to care about Juni the most but now you seem to question her a lot. Do you think she wouldn't feel hurt? Or is someone trying to twist the truth?"
Rickard knew what she meant and frowned. "What are you trying to say? Hesper made a police report, so the police is getting involved. I'll investigate this too, so no one will be able to twist the truth." Sophia didn't talk back after she was called out.
Rickard, agitated, loosened his tie then walked to his study.
Benji excused himself. "Madam Duval, Ms. Duval, I'll be on my way then."
"Go."
Sophia's face immediately fell after the outsider left.
"This b*tch actually went to the police? Is she not worried that this would ruin her reputation if it gets out?"
They had immediately received the news when the two men failed.
Even though Sophia and Juniper were anxious, they expected Hesper to keep things under wraps for her reputation's sake. However, they never expected her to get the police involved. "What should we do next? Have we gotten rid of the men?"
"Don't worry." Sophia smirked confidently. "I've paid them off, so if the police find them, they'll just say that they were seduced and won't
rat us out."
"Really?" Juniper was still worried.
Sophia smirked. "Of course. I spent a lot of money on that. If I can't even handle this, I wouldn't be Ms. Duval!"
Juniper said a few comforting words, and no one thought about it
anymore.
She was just a low-class woman. They just had to get someone to do the dirty work and she wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
The police acted quickly and managed to get surveillance footage at the same time as Rickard.
He sat in his study in the dark; only the screen glowed.
He watched as the men dropped the pill in Hesper's coffee and followed her to the garage. If she hadn't gotten lucky and gotten away, she probably...
An inexplicable anger rose. Rickard told himself that he was just annoyed that he might have been cheated on.
He immediately sent his men to go around the city to hunt for the men. Once they were caught, he personally brought Hesper to the police station to identify them.
"That's them!" Hesper only had to take a look and immediately
recognized them. Her trauma was still evident, as her finger shook.
Suddenly, her hand felt warm because Rickard held her hand.
He said in a strong voice, "Don't worry, I'll make anyone who hurt you pay."
Hesper stood there and looked at him. She didn't know why, but she wanted to trust him.
However, after the interrogation, the two men admitted that they were just horny and wouldn't say who instructed them.
Hesper knew that the officers were going to close the case, so she yelled, "No, they knew that my last name was Rivera. They followed me, so it was obvious that this was planned. Someone is behind this!"
