Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 404 Hera hadn't expected it to happen so soon . It almost felt as if Lord Zeno himself were urging her to sever her tie with Edmund . Three cars bearing the court's insignia stopped outside her house . When she stepped inside , she found chaos- court officials were hauling out every valuable item she owned . Bobby and Edmund tried to stop them , but their efforts were useless . " You can't take my suits ! Ira bought them for me overseas ! This is illegal ! You're robbing us ! " Edmund shouted . " Put them down right now ! They're mine ! All mine ! My property !

" Watching him break into hysterics , Hera realized for the first time who her first love truly was . " I can't believe it . How could a man like that ever compare to Sebastian ? " she muttered , her face pale . Everyone warned me , and I refused to listen . Why did it take me so long to see it ? " ་ ་ A tearful Bobby spotted her from across the yard and tugged his father toward her . Edmund immediately softened his tone , adopting his familiar look of concern . " Ira ! You're finally here ! These people won't listen to reason . What's going on ? What happened to your company ?

" " My company's bankrupt , " Hera replied flatly . " It's only natural for the court to act like this . I should have told you sooner . " Edmund stared at her in disbelief . " What ?! " If her company was gone , then so was her wealth and her worth to him . Before he could regroup , Hera's sharp gaze turned on Bobby . " I need to ask you something , " she said . " When exactly did you see Sebastian bring a woman home that day ? Was it raining or sunny ? Day or night ? What were they wearing ? What were they doing ? What expressions did they have ? " Bobby froze , panic flashing in his eyes .

" I ... I ... " " Answer me ! " Hera barked . He flinched , trembling . " I - I don't remember ! " Her blood turned to ice , then she boiled with fury . " You don't remember ? Or was it all a lie ?! " she roared . Kim's words echoed in her mind . " Children may seem innocent , but they can lie just as easily as adults . They twist the truth , but it's easy to catch them if you ask the right questions . Never lead them . Make them describe what they claim to have seen . Lies collapse when there's no time to invent new details , unless the story was true from the start .

" Who would have thought Bobby's lie would crumble so quickly? The child had lied about Sebastian . " You said you saw everything clearly ! " Hera shouted . " You made it sound like you remembered every detail ! So why can't you answer simple questions now ? How could you even be sure it was Sebastian and not someone else ?! " Bobby broke down , sobbing . He ran to his father and clung to his leg. " Daaaad ! Help me ! She's scaring me ! I don't know what to say anymore ! You didn't tell me what to say to her ! " Edmund's face went chalk - white .

He tried to cover Bobby's mouth , but it was already too late . ADMINJ
