Chapter 637
With those words, he swiftly turned and went out.
As Hertha watched his hurried figure receding, a bitter taste spread in her heart. It was a feeling of resentment and disappointment.
Sure, she had won over Georgia, but Alaric hadn’t acknowledged a relationship with her. In the end, she was nothing more than a shield for him to reject Georgia.
“Don’t beat yourself up. You were amazing just now. I wish I had your fierce spirit,” Thalassa said, having witnessed the whole thing between Hertha and Georgia.
Thalassa had been ready to step in and help Hertha, but seeing how well Hertha handled the situation, she decided to simply observe, ready to jump in if needed.
Hertha truly was awesome. She didn’t need anyone’s help.

Startled from her thoughts, Hertha turned to Thalassa with her big and round eyes filled with melancholy, and asked, “Do you think Alaric would ever like me?”
“He didn’t reject you, did he?” Thalassa responded.
Hertha’s eyes lit up at that, her spirits lifted. “You’re right, he didn’t reject me. That’s the best start I could hope for! There’s a chance he might accept me. Thalassa, you’re my lucky charm, cheering me up.”
In her joy, Hertha playfully pinched Thalassa’s cheek.
Thalassa quickly removed Hertha’s hand. “Good thing I didn’t put on makeup, or you’d have smeared it all over!”
“You’re already so beautiful without makeup. How can others live if you put it on?” Hertha joked.
“Oh, by the way, how did your talk with Captain Payne go?” Hertha asked, having been too busy with her own battle to pay attention to Thalassa.
Thalassa shook her head and said, “Lysander showed up. He and Captain Payne are good friends.”
Hertha was dumbstruck. It meant Thalassa’s efforts were in vain.
She patted Thalassa’s shoulder, comforting her, “It’s alright; we’ll find another way.”
“We should go. If Lysander sees me here when he comes out, he’ll get mad. I don’t want to drag you into this.” Thalassa suggested.
“I’m not afraid of getting involved. I just don’t want him to bully you. Let’s go,” Hertha grabbed Thalassa’s hand and quickly left the venue.
She came today for Alaric. Now that he was gone, there was no reason for her to stay.

In the lounge, Lysander and Payne sat face to face. Payne sipped his coffee leisurely. “A child under five can’t testify in court. But a child’s words aren’t without reason. Lysander. what’s your take?”
A child’s words couldn’t be used as evidence. But there was no smoke without fire. There had to be a basis for what they said.
Lysander paused, looking deeply at Payne. “That’s why I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh? You’ve noticed the peculiarities too?” Payne asked.
“My grandfather refuses to accept the investigation. He trusts Robert, as he’s been working at the Sinclair’s house for over a decade. He’s diligent and honest, and hasn’t made any mistakes in all these years,” Lysander explained.
“It’s easy. Just investigate without your grandfather’s knowledge,” Payne suggested, “I agree with what Ms. Everhart said. Only by finding the true culprit behind Sybil’s death can we truly rest her spirit. Otherwise, not only will an innocent person be blamed, but Sybil’s soul won’t rest in peace.”
