A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

'Did she run away from the wedding?' That was the first thought that came into Jessie's head.

She quickly turned around and closed the door.

Even though she had not expected Hestia to do something like this, Jessie's first reaction was to cover for her.

Jessie guessed that Hestia had not been gone for long. If she was caught now, it was highly likely that she would be brought back, and that was something she did not want to happen.

Someone knocked on the door, and Jessie froze. She forced herself to calm down and asked, "Who is it?"

She walked up to the door and the person said, "There are several new sets of jewelry that just arrived. They match well with today's wedding dress. Mr. Tucker wants to bring them for Ms. Deschamps to pick out if she likes any."

Hearing this, Jessie breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over and opened the door slightly. "Just give them to me. Hessy said she was a bit tired and wanted to rest for a while."

The attendant did not doubt her and handed the things to Jessie before leaving.

Jessie closed the door and felt relieved that it was not Nathaniel who came over. Jessie had already seen through Nathaniel's true nature after meeting him a few times. He was not the charming gentleman he appeared to be on the surface.

There was an old saying that the fiercer the dog, the less it barked, and that was exactly how Nathaniel was. Despite appearing harmless on the surface, he was actually very dangerous. Jessie sighed and put down the tray with the jewelry.

Although she did not specialize in jewelry design, as a designer herself, she could tell that these items were definitely not cheap. Despite Nathaniel being dangerous, she could see that he still had some genuine affection for Hesper.

"Hessy, you must run as far as you can." Jessie looked out the door. She did not know what else she could do, so she could only pray for Hestia. "Whatever you want to do, do it well!"

At this moment, Hestia was driving rapidly on the road. She could not care less about the complexity of her outfit. When she stopped the car, she glanced at the icon on her phone and realized that she was not far away from her destination.

Myriada had not contacted her in a long time after they exchanged their contact information. Hestia had almost forgotten about it, but she did not expect Myriade to suddenly send her a message at this critical moment.

The message contained a location, indicating that if Hestia went there, she would find the person she was looking for.

[Hestia: Aren't you Nathaniel's sister? Why are you giving me this?]

This was the biggest question in Hestia's mind. The love and bond shared between Myriade and Nathaniel did not seem artificial to her. Moreover, Hestia had very little interaction with Myriade, so there was no reason for Myriade to disclose such information to her.

[Myriade: It isn't any of your business. You just need to know that I'm not helping you. I'm just helping Hesper.]

Hestia raised an eyebrow, surprised by the relationship between Hesper and Myriade. However, it seemed to explain things. After all, Hesper's social circle seemed a bit strange.

In any case, she had already decided to come and take a look first.

Her marriage to Nathaniel was only a temporary measure. Hestia's goal was to find the person surnamed Sulzbach. Only then could she persuade her father to let her continue to stay in Genecity to explore her past.

However, when she arrived at the location Myriade had sent her, Hestia realized that there were fewer and fewer buildings nearby. It looked more like a slum area next to Genecity, and the people she encountered along the way had blank looks on their faces.
