Chapter 675
‘If I want to locate the target of my current mission, I must first delve into the drug incident from back
then, which is inseparable from the person that I’m searching for.’
‘With Ehren Sulzbach’s description, I now know how terrible the drug is. If it’s still being distributed in
the market, it’ll leave a great impact on the people. And perhaps the tragedy of the Sulzbachs will once
again make its way into more people and families.’
Although Hestia was a businesswoman, it was still impossible for her to do such a thing.
Jessie knew that she could not change Hestia’s mind, so the two returned home without saying a word.
Hestia went into her room and locked herself up as soon as they arrived home, leaving Jessie facing
the door of her room anxiously.
Hestia called Sylvie as soon as she entered the room. "Look into a drug-related case that happened
about thirty years ago."
Sylvie did not expect that Hestia would suddenly want her to investigate new things. During her time in
Genecity, Hestia investigation requests had been very miscellaneous and random, seemingly unrelated
to each other, and it was quite troublesome to look into.
‘But who made her the lady of the Deschamps?’
Sylvie sighed, lifted the coffee mug in her hand, and comforted herself inwardly.
‘At least Ms. Deschamps hasn’t made a mess in Halwanest that I’ll be asked to deal with. All I've had to
do so far is just sit in the office and investigate the things that she wants to know...’
"Plus, I’m getting married in about a month."
"Puff——" Sylvie choked on the coffee that was going down her throat and squirted it all out. "What did
you just say?"
"I’m about a month away from getting married." Hestia had guessed that Sylvie would be shocked by
the news, so she repeated the sentence in a calm tone and then said, "Father should know about this,
but we plan to hide it from Mother, so don’t accidentally spill the secret in front of her."
Hearing this, Sylvie could not help but think.
‘How do you expect me to stay calm after listening to this? But since Mr. Deschamps knows about this,
it’s probably not something that’s too ridiculous in his book...’
It’s nothing, it’s just ridiculous! Why are you getting married all of a sudden!
"May I ask you a question?" Sylvie tried to keep her tone steady. "Are you getting married to Mr. Duval
again?"
"No, it’s a new one this time."
Hestia did not think it was an important matter, so she continued, "Remember to send me the things I
want you to investigate as soon as possible. I know I’ve been troubling you with a lot of random tasks
nowadays, so I’ll give you an extortionate bonus when I get back."
Sylvie’s eyes welled up.
‘Miss, my salary isn’t too low now. In fact, I don’t need the bonus as much as you think I do. So as long
as you don’t cause any trouble in Genecity, I’ll consider that as a bonus.’
After hanging up the phone, Hestia subconsciously looked at the Duvals’ residence next door.
‘Everyone seems to worry a lot about Rickard on my behalf, but let’s be honest, even if I’d admit that
Rickard does influence me a tiny bit from time to time, my interest will still always come first.’
Thinking of this, Hestia could not help but laugh at herself. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Rickard must’ve done the same to Hesper in the past, so it’s time for me to return the favor."
Thinking about this, Hestia looked away, then drew a circle on Skylar’s name and murmured, "You’re
now the breakthrough point of my mission. I hope you’ll show up as soon as possible. It’ll only do both
of us good."
