But her calmness infuriated Rickard. He clenched his hands tightly, so much so that his knuckles gave
off cracking noises. “Juniper has fallen ill because of you, and you still have the guts to deny
everything?”
Hesper laughed out loud abruptly. “You’re the one who’s asking me if
I did it. I’m telling you that I didn’t, but still, you choose not to believe me. Must I be the person who’s
caused her to fall sick? Do you really think that I have such great capabilities that I can lay a finger on
the regal Ms. Wight?”
A hint of hesitation flashed across Rickard’s face, but at that moment, two women entered the room,
supporting Madam Duval.
“You slut, how dare you lie in front of so many witnesses! So many servants in the villa saw with their
own eyes how you talked back to me and humiliated Sophia and Juniper!”
With snot and tears dribbling down all orifices on her face, she cried- as she complained to Rickard,
“Dick, she also said that even though she slept with another man, she’s still your legitimate wife and the
hostess of this household, so she can do whatever she wants here! She even chased Juniper out and
prohibited her from coming here again.”
“…Hesper Rivera, how dare you?” Rickard was furious.
‘How dare she say so?! After betraying our marriage, she’s still shameless enough to go around the
house humiliating my family members?’
The man stood up in a split second, and the merciless aura
emanating from his body made everyone present tremble as if they had just seen a devil.
Even Hesper was a little frightened at that moment.
She took two steps backward subconsciously. “What do you plan to do to me?”
“Smack–“The only response that she got was a slap that the man standing in front of her wielded at her
with all his might.
Rickard was exasperated. “Hesper Rivera, have I been showing you too much leniency over all your
time here? So much so that it’s caused you to act so recklessly around my family! From now on, you’re
to kneel in the yard until the moment Juniper wakes up!”
The force of the slap pushed Hesper to the side.
She fell onto the cold floor, and the only thing that she could see at that moment was Madam Duval
and her daughter’s insolent expressions as they witnessed the whole incident go down and the
servants’ mocking gazes. All those expressions just showed her that she, Hesper Rivera, was just a
piece of garbage that anyone in this villa could kick around as they liked!
She was infuriated.
She had never been this enraged.
Hesper bit her lips tightly, and her sharp nails dug into in her palms, to the extent that she was about to
pierce her flesh with her own nails. She roared with bloodshot eyes, “Why would I do such a thing? I’m
a human being, not some piece of garbage. What makes you think that you can do whatever you want
to me? I’ve brought divorce up more than once, and you’re the one who refuses to divorce me! You’re
the one who’s trapping me in this cage and making me suffer all kinds of bullying from your family
members, and now you actually want to punish me?!”
Seeing that she was still talking about the divorce at such a moment, all of Rickard’s sanity was
engulfed by pure, wrath. He sneered. “Okay,
you want a divorce so badly, don’t you? Today, I’ll help you make this dream of yours come true!”
He pushed everyone out of his way, strode to his study and, from below stacks of documents that were
laying on the desktop, pulled out the divorce agreement that he had prepared a long time ago.
However, because of his rage and overwhelming strength, he accidentally dropped the recording pen
that was laying on all the documents. The recording pen fell to the ground and rolled along the side of
the wall.
At that moment, Rickard was not in the mood to care about a tiny item that fell off his desk, so he
walked out of the study without looking back.
“Open your eyes and look at this carefully. This is the divorce agreement that you think about all the
time! Who do you think you are? Do you really think I won’t divorce you?”
“Swoosh–” The man lifted his hand and the divorce agreement scattered from his hands, smacking NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
directly onto Hesper’s face.
A sharp edge of one of the sheets of paper cut her pale and delicate skin, and a single, tiny droplet of
blood seeped out of the slit immediately.
Hesper remained motionless as she stared at the papers slicing through the air and falling to the
ground.
‘He… He actually handed me the divorce agreement that I’ve been asking him for all this time.’
Hesper felt that she should be laughing with joy at that moment, but she could not for some reason.
Because no matter what she had said in the past, the man just would not let her go, but now he was
doing so willingly only because of another woman.
‘Just… How much more ironic can this be?’
