A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love
Chapter 649

When he threw the question out, Kenji did not take his eyes off Hestia's gaze, but Hestia looked back at him calmly too as if she did not know anything about this and even had some doubts. "Sorry, I seem to have worried too much." Kenji apologized and did not say anything else.

Hestia smirked. "Then please do send me back, Mr. Lynch, and thank you."

Although Hestia did not show any emotion on the surface, Kenji still felt that Hestia's living next to Rickard was something that she had deliberately planned.

After listening to Kenji's report of the information that he had gained throughout the day, Rickard did not seem surprised, but only nodded. "Keep monitoring her, and come to me at any time if anything seems unusual."

"Ms. Rivera... She isn't very trustworthy now." Kenji hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, you may not understand how the Deschamps trains their people. I don't think Ms. Rivera will now care about the relationship that she shared with you back then, and this makes her a rather terrifying person."

Rickard remained silent for a while and then raised his head. "Is there still no news about Professor Miles?"

Ever since he cured Renfrew, Professor Miles had been going around Genecity, practicing medicine, and even Rickard could not locate his whereabouts. Ordinary doctors would not be able to solve Hesper's current situation at all. So Hesper could only continue to be Hestia until he managed to replace Professor Miles.

Kenji shook his head. "Our men have searched all over Genecity, but we haven't found any trace of Professor Miles. Are you sure that he's still in Genecity?

"Yes, he said before he left that he'll show up when he has to."

Rickard firmly believed that the doctor would not renege on his promise, so Kenji had no choice but to nod. "Then I'll leave first. I will continue to keep an eye on all of Ms. Rivera's movements too." In the mansion located next to the Duval residence, Hestia was unpacking her belongings and she took out a cell phone that had been in silent mode all this while with a guilty conscience. Looking at the video call request that was flashing on the screen, Hestia's heart skipped a beat for a moment, picked it up before it got disconnected, and instantly put on a more adorable expression. Seeing the face that appeared on the phone's screen after the video got through, there was an instant sigh of relief.

"Mother, you look very good today!"

Elise looked at Hestia helplessly but smiled instantly when she saw that Hestia did not seem to have suffered any grievances in Halwanest. "You looked relieved as soon as you saw that it was me who was calling you... Did you cause any trouble out there and are afraid that your father will replace out about it?"

"That's not it! Why would you think so? I'm just running serious businesses in Genecity."

Hestia thought that supervising their company's business partner's work should be regarded as a serious business.

'Although what I've been doing here is a little overkill, Rickard doesn't look like someone who would backstab me in front of Father and Mother.'

Looking at the baby girl that she picked up a while back, Elise's gaze softened. "I didn't call you about this. I'm only calling because I missed you all of a sudden. I haven't been away from you for so long ever since you came home."

When Elise said so, Hestia instantly felt a little homesick, but there were still a lot of unresolved questions and hatred in Genecity.

'You only live once, so I must do my best to get to the bottom of my past self for my own sake so that I'll live with no regrets.'

"Alright, Hestia should have her own plans, so just let her go at it." A male voice suddenly sounded in the background of the video. Hestia instantly felt guilty.

"Father, you're here too."

Charles's face appeared in the video halfway through the call, and Hestia gave off a stiff smile as she waved at him.
