Chapter 650
Seeing that Charles seemed to have something to tell Hestia, Elise handed the phone directly to him
and then walked out of the room. So after that, only Hestia and Charles were left staring at each other
through the phone for quite some time.
"Have you found the answer that you’re searching for?"
Charles finally took the initiative to start the conversation, and Hestia lowered her gaze. "I’ve found
parts of it, but I don’t know. There are still a lot of things that I want to do in Halwanest. Although you
two are my life savior and benefactors for taking me in back then and teaching me heaps of things
throughout the past six months, I can’t go back now."
"I’m not asking you to come back now, am I?"
Hestia had been getting ready to get into a debate with Charles, but she did not expect him to support
her decision without her fighting for it, so she lifted her head and widened her eyes. "You don’t object to
my decision to come to Genecity?"
"No, I still don’t like it." Charles’s expression remained unchanged, but there was an emotion that
flashed across his gaze for a split second which Hesper could not understand.
After a while, he sighed, and continued. "Forget it, this is all your decision to make. Perhaps this is
what the Halwanese called fate."
Although she could not understand what Charles was saying, Hestia had an intuition that Charles had
decided to hide something from her. Charles said immediately, "While you’re there, I need you to help
me locate someone in Halwanest. This person’s last name is Sulzbach, but I’m not sure about the full
name."
"Sulzbach is the last name, huh... And that’s it?"
Charles went silent for a moment, and Hestia found it difficult to believe that. During the six months
when she stayed with the Deschamps, she developed a very strong confidence in the Deschamps’
informant network. She had always had complete information when she went on all of her past
missions. The details that she would get were so detailed that even her target’s childhood would be
meticulously investigated.
"He’s very likely to be from the Sulzbachs of Emperion. Based on his age, he should be a generation
older than you."
Speaking of Emperion, Hestia suddenly thought of Matthew again, hesitated for a moment, and then
said, "Ever since I came to Halwanest, I’ve met many people who used to know me, including my
biological brother, who’s one of the Lanes.”
The moment she brought Matthew up, Hestia was stunned for a moment.
‘He’s from the Lanes, and it seems that he and Mother’s ex-lover come from the same family.’
But Hestia did not think too much about it. After all, countless people shared the same last name in the
world, so it would not say much.
"Your brother?" Charles did not seem to have foreseen this outcome and nodded in response. "If you
want to go back to the Lanes, your mother and I won’t stop you, but your mother isn’t at her peak
nowadays and might not be able to visit you while you’re gone."
Hestia shook her head. "I have no memory of them at all. Even if he’s my biological brother, to me,
you’re still my only parents."
The two talked about work again, and when they heard that Hestia was staying at Duval Group as their
client, Charles sighed helplessly. "Duval Group has been hit by a lot of waves recently, and Nathaniel
Tucker from Daybreak has always wanted Rickard Duval to step down as the president of the
company, so don’t get yourself involved in this mess."
Hestia wanted to tell Charles that she had been forced to get involved with the matter, but it was
beyond her expectations that Charles did not reprimand her that day.
‘Let’s just wait until the matter is resolved before I reveal this kind of "big surprise" to him.’
"Okay, I know that." Hestia obediently agreed and then asked, "If I find Sulzbach, do I bring him back to
you?"
"No, you’re to end him right then, right there."
Charles’s response sounded very decisive, and Hestia was taken aback for a short moment.
"I know you don’t want to do it, so just get our men to do it on your behalf, and keep this matter from
your mother."
"...Okay."
After hanging up the phone call with Charles, Hestia laid on the bed and let the moonlight shine on her
face.
‘Actually, the Deschamps are excellent in many aspects of life, and from them, I’ve picked up a lot of Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
knowledge that I didn’t possess while I was my previous self. But for some reason, I still can’t sit well
with Father’s stern and resolute management style.’
‘Perhaps because I’m not holding a high enough position in the family’s operation, I can’t be as
decisive as Father is.’
Thinking of this, Hestia sat up. She had been working in Duval Group for one whole day, and she was
feeling a little tired earlier, but now, after such a phone call, all the fatigue that she felt had dissipated.
