Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Hera sighed . " You've disappointed me greatly , Sebastian . I know you're desperate to win me back , but stealing from the Rivers for that ? Do you even realize what awaits you for offending them ? " I stared at their idiotic faces , genuinely baffled by their nonsense . " What the hell are you two even talking about ? I have no idea . " Sebastian's answer only fueled Bastien's rage . " Still think you can hide behind denial , you piece of shit ? " he roared , just as Leon Rivers began walking toward them . A grin split Bastien's face . " Oh , Leon's here . Just you wait ...

When they recover the missing possession from you , I can't wait to watch you squirm trying to get out of this one ! " He waved eagerly . " Mr. Rivers ! I got him ! I caught the thief ! " Hera made no move to stop him . Instead , she fixed Sebastian with a pale , stricken look . She blinked rapidly . " Don't make this worse . This isn't a game . He's furious ! " Be on your best behavior . Admit what you've done , or not even I can protect you ! " she urged . " You want me to stay with you ? Fine . But don't deny your crime or try to twist the truth .

" Hera's facade suggested she cared , but I felt nothing . This bitch had always been as fickle as a swinging door . I remembered why she was suddenly clinging to Bastien . Yesterday , I rejected her attempt to seduce me , and now , suddenly , she was flaunting herself as his girlfriend . They disgusted me . " Miss me with that bullshit . I didn't steal anything , " I said flatly . Hera's face tightened with anger . " Why are you so damn stubborn ?! " She was about to continue when Leon strode up . " Who's the thief ?!

" he demanded , scanning each of us with a sharp glare , " This man is the culprit ! " Bastien blurted , jabbing his finger at me . " He's my girlfriend's ex - husband . He stole the card . We saw it with our own eyes ! " I studied the young man and recognized the resemblance to Leda . His identity was obvious , and with it , a reason to stay patient . " Listen , I didn't steal anything from you . In fact , your sister is the one who invited me . " Leon blinked . " My sister ? " " He's lying ! " Bastien barked . " I know him , Mr. Rivers ! There's no way he could know your sister .

He stole the card just to sneak in here and stalk her again ! He's a menace , a parasite , and it's time we treated him the way he 1/2 Chapter 289 +25 Bonus deserves ! The noble heiress of your family would never associate with this bastard ! " Leon's face betrayed nothing , but I didn't wait . My palm whipped across Bastien's spittle - flecked face . The blow landed hard , leaving his cheek red and swollen . I pulled a wet tissue from my pocket and wiped my hand with deliberate calm . " I've been restraining myself from doing that for a long time . Don't say I didn't warn you .
