“Matt, if Rachel returns, I’ll leave immediately.”

“...Don’t say that.” Matthew frowned. “I said this before. You’re my sister, no matter what. Even if she comes back, you’ll still be my sister.”

Hespr shook her head and smiled, but it looked broken in the cold wind.

“When she comes back, I’ll return her brother to her.”

***

The time she had at Emperion was short. Hesper returned to Genecity, but this time, Matthew didn’t come along.

There was a lot of work to do in Emperion, especially since she had to take part in the competition. The hype that it brought benefited Lane Holdings, so Matthew was busy.

The fourth stage of the competition was around the new year. The most important project in Genecity was the design competition. Hesper didn’t get involved in it, so there was nothing much to do at home.

That morning, she went to room 345 earlier with a bag of flour.

The live-streaming room was still very quiet at that hour. Even Hesper wouldn’t show up so early usually, but

    Hesper was just reading the news out of curiosity, but now she was worried because the fake news had become the top trending post. Who could have been so creative? Isaac was just an assistant and was nowhere close to being on the senior management team. Her relationship with Isaac was… What was going on!Hesper wanted to contact Renee to remove the post, but the phone the production team gave her couldn’t be used for communications. All she could do was watch as things happened. Renee would definitely try to remove the post… right?Even though she knew that Renee would take care of it, she was still worried. That post had been shared many times and it would affect the views about the competition. Covering it up would only do so much. Should she expose her true identity? That would just make the story that she had an insider more believable. “I’m here for the tea. Someone said that Hesper was a sugar baby, but no one believed them?”“Hesper seems anxious.

    Shawn slapped his forehead. “Don’t worry, this won’t affect your competition. I’m sure you know the PR team of Lane Holdings. They’ll be able to turn anything around. Don’t worry.”“There’s nothing to turn around!”Their whispers weren’t captured by the live stream, so everyone watching was anxiously waiting to know what they were saying. No one was able to hear anything. “I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that this will change. Even though something seems to be off about Hesper, she doesn’t look guilty.”“Yes… I think so too, but everyone in the chat seems to be trying to tear her down, so I didn’t want to oppose.”“Hesper must have grown up in a good environment. If there really was something fishy going on, I’ll admit that I’ve misjudged her.”“No way someone is still on her side. Why would people like a divorced sugar baby?”“Hold on, stop arguing. Shouldn’t we check Lane Holdings’s announcement?”***Matthew quickly took action. During the age of information, anythin

    She didn’t want things to link back to her. However, she was never as glad as when she made the decision previously. She hated how dumb she used to be. If she knew that Hesper was a Lane, she definitely wouldn’t have offended someone like her. Michelle regretted it. If she was nice to Hesper like Jessie, she would have all the resources and network she wanted. Hesper now had a bad impression of her. Would it affect her career in the future?Michelle grabbed her hair in the car, but since the time to be at the venue was approaching, she had to get out of the car even if she didn’t want to face Hesper. She tossed her phone into her car. After she left, her phone screen lit up. Lucy: I just saw the news and remembered that the person at the reunion was really Hesper’s fiance! They just reunited with Ms. Lane three years ago, but Nathaniel Tucker was always meant to be the fiancé. *** As Hesper’s identity was revealed, the fourth stage of the competition took a turn for the u

    The voice hesitated. Hesper thought that she would hear the voice she heard the previous time, but she didn't. After a long pause, a familiar voice was heard. “Ms. Rivera, it’s me.”“Seth.” Renfrew poked his head out and looked around the corridor. Julie and Sophia stopped looking for him, and since his dad was working and didn’t have time to look after him, the helpers wouldn’t be back without permission. “Are you ready? I don’t have a lot of time…”The voice hurried him, so Renfrew quickly closed the door and whispered, “Ready, Ms. Myriade!”“Be more serious. I’m your mentor now, so it’s Madam Myriade!” Myriade pressed her lips together. “Alright, I’m announcing the beginning of the mid-term exam. I’ll be watching you throughout the entire process, so focus on answering!”“Yes, ma’am!” Myriade watched the surveillance and remembered the last time—Renfrew failed to run away and was caught by Rickard. Myriade thought she would be exposed, but Renfrew managed to keep his p

    Myriade was usually nice, but whenever Big T was involved, she would be impartial. Riley knew that about her, so he said, “What if this is related to Hesper? Would you still keep it from him?”“...” Myriade heard Renfrew’s voice coming from her earpiece when Riley brought Hesper up. Even though she knew he wouldn’t be able to hear them, she still felt nervous. “Riley, I don’t know why you’re being so nice to the psycho, but a word of advice, stay away from him or you might get burned.” Myriade’s expression was cold. “I’ll speak to Big T. Anything else?”“Nothing else, sweety.”Riley smiled, his protruding canine making his smile sharper. His friendly-looking face suddenly looked evil. “I just hope that you'll stop calling him a psycho. He hates it. Even I won't be able to stop him if he loses his mind, you know.”Myriade glared at Riley, who returned to his friendly look a second later. “Thank you, Mimi. I’ll get you some candy—”Hesper hung up after speaking to Seth, with mor

    Myriade felt proud because Renfrew was indeed talented. What she taught was far more than the basics. Renfrew being able to do so well at such a young age reminded her of herself when she was younger. “Even though you did well this time, you need to stay humble. I’ll teach you more.”Myriade was very organized. Suddenly, a faint alarm went off. It was something she set up after what happened previously with Rickard to monitor whenever he showed up. “Your dad is coming back. I need to go.” Before Renfrew could say anything, Myriade cut off.Why would his dad be back at this hour?Renfrew looked out at the sun and ran his eyes in confusion. “Isn’t it just the afternoon? Why does dad always come home early whenever I’m speaking to Ms. Myriade?” He was a little sad. Ever since his communication with her was exposed, Myriade had been very careful whenever she was in touch with him. He was very worried that Myriade would stop playing with him when she met some other kid. Ricka

    “He’s just three years old now and he’s putting his hands on older people. What is he going to turn into later on?”Julie continued to sit on the floor. Rickard frowned and looked tired. “Mom, can you stop? Renfrew was right and there’s nothing wrong with Hesper’s parenting either. You’re biased.”“Oh, so it’s my fault now?” Julie slapped the floor. “I’m doing this for your own good. Have you forgotten who your mother is because of that woman and this kid? Rickard Duval, you’re my son. You came from me! Why would I do anything that’s bad for you?”Renfrew pouted. “My mom wouldn’t do that either. Mommy is the best mommy in the world! You can’t talk badly about her. You’re horrible to her!”“You know nothing, kid!”Julie tried to grab Renfrew but Rickard pulled him behind him. “Mom, stop this.”Julie heaved and pointed at him with a shaky finger. “You’ve been bewitched. You’ve always been the son I was proud of! How could you end up like this?”Sophia came over when she heard the

    Hesper slept for a long time, and when she opened her eyes again, it was nightfall. She rubbed her arm, which had gone numb and turned around to see Renfrew staring at her. “Mommy, you’re awake!”“...Ren?” Hesper couldn’t believe her eyes and was stunned to see him. She thought that she was still dreaming. “Why are you here?”Renfrew tilted his head. “Daddy had some work to attend to and won’t be able to spend time with me for the next few days, so I came to see you!”Hesper still felt that this wasn’t real, but he had his usual bag with him and there was a little luggage at the other side of the room as if he packed his bags and came over. “Aren’t you glad?”Renfrew looked at her worriedly and looked sad as he thought about the idea that his dad came up with. He had to do so much just to get his parents’ attention. “Of course, I would love to have you around me all the time!” Hesper patted his head. “I have some work to finish up. Wait for me right here, and we’ll go hom

    He had never anticipated that he would end up loving her so deeply.It could be said that amidst all the misunderstandings and complexities, their journey together had taken many winding paths."I wouldn't risk getting into trouble just to set off fireworks for someone I didn't even like," Rickard said, his voice gentle. "You dummy."His words were soft, but as Hesper listened to his explanation, she cleared her throat, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She had never imagined that the person she had loved so intensely in her youth had, at some point in their lives, secretly admired her.Hesper attempted to smile but ended up with teary eyes. Seeing this, Rickard reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "If it's going to make you cry, I won't say anything more."Hesper pursed her lips. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."Rickard, despite understanding her reluctance, couldn't help but reflect on the past and openly admitted to the emotions he had felt in his you

    They were flooded with memories, and Hesper couldn't help but admit that she had been through so much with Rickard. Her eyes welled up with emotion.The livestream ended, as they couldn't maintain constant surveillance of their lives. Even though they hadn't gone home yet, the crew had left.In the past two days, people had gotten to know them quite well, so the crew decided to give them some alone time.Hesper sat in the passenger seat and stole a glance at Rickard. She couldn't help but say, "I never expected that the only time you were seen as making a mistake in Grandpa's eyes was because of me.""There are many things you don't know," he replied. Hesper raised an eyebrow and asked, "Like what? Tell me."Suddenly, Hesper recalled the countless times Rickard had looked at her. Yet, during those moments, Rickard had always had feelings for Juniper. She knew that was the reality, so she never expected that Rickard might have had the same strong feelings for her as she had for h

    Hesper glanced at Rickard, who remained emotionless, but she still reached out to hold his hand.[This is tough to see. Both of Rickard's parents are no longer here… Sigh.][Hesper immediately checked on Rickard. If I were Rickard, I'd love her so much.]Ernest shook his head and remained silent as he flipped to the next page. Most of the pictures were of Hesper after that. She hadn't realized she had so many childhood photos. Julian appeared in some of them, too.Before everything went sour.Rickard didn't have many pictures. As he grew older, he became quieter.Most of them showed Hesper standing next to Julian, but there was something off about them.[Did you notice... In many of those pictures, Hesper was looking at Rickard, and in others, Rickard was looking at her.][Oh my god, is this puppy love? I had no idea!][I remember Rickard had another lover.]Hesper had noticed, too, but there was no need to remind people that Rickard used to hate her, so she dismissed it as a

    Hesper and Rickard entered the room and awkwardly informed Ernest that everything had been live-streamed just now. Ernest was shocked, but upon hearing that it was something people do, he nodded."It's fine. There's nothing that others can't hear."Hesper pursed her lips and glanced at Rickard before saying, "We didn't expect the Summers to come and see you. You should move in with us so these people will leave you alone."If Ernest lived with them, no one would dare intrude because they represented power and influence.Who would dare challenge them?"I don't want to get involved in your life. Renfew and Renarie would keep you occupied enough."Hesper understood that he had already made up his mind not to live with them, so she didn't press the matter further.She could understand his concerns, as many things might become inconvenient. Besides, Ernest didn't want to disrupt their lives either."We'll be heading to Fredonia soon, so even though we have filming to do, we wanted t

    So what if the cameras were still recording?"Was my son's life not as valuable as your son's?"If he had grasped this earlier, recent events might not have unfolded. Jade had a point.The live chat fell silent. Though they lacked the full backstory, they could deduce what had transpired in the past.[I heard Rickard lost his parents when he was a child. I feel sorry for him.][His parents died because of that incident. It's no surprise if he harbors resentment.][Truthfully, this old man has no shame. If my child were responsible for another child's death, I'd beg for forgiveness.]Everything unfolding before their eyes was purely coincidental, and no one had control over the situation. They could only watch and terminate the livestream immediately if anything escalated.Fortunately, Jade received a stern talking-to and refrained from discussing the matter further, but Mrs. Summers did not fare as well. Hesper and the others bore witness to her irrational behavior.[This is e

    "We've known each other for years, Ernest. I saved your life once, and now your descendants want to take my son's life!"As they approached, Jade Summers was angrily berating Ernest before him. Hesper's countenance immediately turned frosty as she walked over to Ernest."You should conduct yourself more appropriately, Mr. Summers Sr."Jade was taken aback to see Hesper, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and fixed her with a hatred-filled gaze."If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You're just a woman. Since when do you get a say in the Duval family matters?"In the 21st century, people were all for equality. Besides, Hesper was no ordinary or unintelligent woman. Naturally, she had a voice in these matters.The viewers were inundated with comments when they heard Jade's words, and the live chat exploded.[Who is this guy? He looks old but lacks respect.][What's the argument about?][I sense some drama.]Rickard walked over. Jade had thought he

    [Didn't Hesper mention that Mr. Duval Sr. took care of her? Maybe she did grow up well.][I'm certain she did. Hesper doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate mistreatment.]Hesper and Rickard were under constant surveillance throughout the journey, and they hadn't allowed Benji to accompany them. Rickard was behind the wheel, with Hesper in the passenger seat.During the drive, they remained silent, but to observers, it appeared as though they were in harmony.Upon arriving at the ancestral mansion, Hesper noticed other cars parked around and cast a curious glance at Rickard. Visitors to Ernest's home were a rarity."Sir, Ma'am, you're back," a young housekeeper greeted them. It was the same person who had assisted Wendy earlier, but they couldn't recall her name. Nevertheless, Hesper had faith in her.Noticing the housekeeper's troubled demeanor, Hesper deduced that the guest inside was likely unwelcome. However, she couldn't fathom who would disrupt Ernest's life. Given

    Rickard noticed something in Hesper's expression, prompting him to ask, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"Being intimately familiar with each other wasn't always without its challenges. Hesper could never conceal anything from him.She sighed and replied, "It's nothing. Just that Pennleigh will also be on the list."Rickard fell silent.Hesper was aware that sometimes Rickard might not appear bothered, but Pennleigh's presence did bother him.Observing Hesper's awkward expression, Rickard lowered his gaze and suddenly took on a pitiful appearance, like a big dog caught in the rain.Yet, she knew he was merely putting on an act. Still, every time she saw him like that, she couldn't help but miss the Rickard who didn't engage in such playful antics. His character had undergone a change.Hesper found it amusing but didn't quite know how to express it. She sighed and added, "It's a fantastic opportunity. I know you'll let me go, right?"Rickard had no intention of inte

    "Sullivan lied to her. He had her parents quietly killed. She found out after she turned her back on you."Benji lowered his gaze. "She was already dead when you came back. It was suicide."The conclusion lacked the weight necessary for such a betrayal. Hesper shut her eyes. The person she had trusted most was Renee. They had shared countless years together.Hesper acknowledged that their bond might not have been a genuine friendship. Renee had abandoned her when given the choice.However, Hesper had faced such situations before.Thankfully, there had been someone who had placed her first in their heart, reassuring her that she wasn't always relegated to being an option. Hesper stood in silence for a while before simply nodding.There was nothing she could do to aid Renee now. Renee had entered and departed alone, leaving no trace behind with Hesper.When the topic was broached, it weighed heavily on her heart.
