A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 683

Zikmund fell silent as what Rickard said was too much for him to take in. Rickard did not make any

comment anymore and just let him calm down on his own.

"Besides, our investigation of the Deschamps hasn't come up empty-handed. It's highly possible that Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

during the time when Tina was in Fredonia, she had some contact with them. Be prepared for that,"

Rickard said, dropping another bombshell on Zikmund and causing him to look at Rickard directly.

Rickard continued, "As Hestia and Nathaniel's wedding approaches this weekend, I have a feeling that

there will be some significant events taking place. So, for now, let's set aside your matters with Jessie

and focus on being prepared for what's to come."

Zikmund fell silent.

If Rickard had not mentioned the word "wedding" through gritted teeth, he would have believed in him.

However, Rickard was right. It was clear that Nathaniel had a desire to align with the Deschamps.

Previously, the Tuckers had been unable to cause any harm to the Lanes and the Duvals, regardless of

their actions. They were similar in power, but things were different now. With the Deschamps' support,

who knew what Nathaniel would do?

"Okay, don't think too much. Keep an eye out this weekend," Rickard said.

Zikmund nodded, then turned around to look at the villa. Even though he knew he could not see Jessie,

his heart still felt empty. If their child really had died because of Tina, how could he face Jessie?

The weekend came by quickly. Hestia had always anticipated that her marriage would be driven by

interests, which was why she had little reaction to this fake wedding. However, Jessie was extremely

anxious and believed that Hestia was being too hasty.

"I wasn't there when you married Rickard that year. I never thought I'd be able to see your wedding in

this lifetime."

Hestia shook her head. "It's all fake anyway. It's just a marriage of convenience. Wearing a wedding

dress doesn't mean anything."

Even though it was the wedding of the daughter of the Deschamps, not a single person from the

Deschamps came. After all, the Deschamps were in another country, and no one suspected anything.

However, some clever people had already guessed that the Deschamps were joining forces with

Nathaniel.

"I'll go out and take a look. You look really beautiful today."

Jessiei looked at Hestia, suddenly feeling a little emotional. She then walked out of the dressing room,

leaving Hestia alone.

As Hestia gazed at her reflection in the mirror, she fixed her hair and makeup, feeling a sense of

unfamiliarity with the person she saw. Various fragments of memories crossed her mind, but she had

no time to dwell on them, as her phone began to vibrate incessantly.

Hestia lowered her head and looked at the constantly popping up messages on the screen as a frown

creased her forehead.

Jessie went outside to get some snacks that she remembered Hestia liked. After all, she would have no

time to eat once the wedding started. However, when she came back with the snacks, she found that

Hestia was no longer in the dressing room.

"Hessy?"

Looking at the empty dressing room, Jessie had a bad feeling in her heart. She walked over to take a

closer look and found that Hestia's phone and purse were gone.
