Chapter 201

“You should go first. I’ll go and get the car parked, and you can order anything you want.” Nathaniel pulled over in front of the restaurant. “Their food is rather spicy, so if you can’t handle the spice, you could just tell the owner.”Hesper didn’t really like spicy food, so she nodded and walked into the inconspicuous, tiny restaurant.Hesper truly had no idea how Nathaniel got to know about this restaurant. She looked around the area while they were on the way here, and there was not even a single means of transportation within a few miles from the place, let alone any passerby.The small shop was hidden behind a grove. It already looked very inconspicuous during autumn, so the whole restaurant might be completely concealed behind the trees when all the leaves grew back during summer.A small string of wind chimes made out of shells was hung on the door frame of the entrance. When Nathaniel walked into the premises, it gave off a crisp chime.“Hello?”Once inside, no one coul

Chapter 202

Seth came out with the dishes and chuckled when he heard Hesper’s speculation.“...What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?”Nathaniel shook his head as Seth served the dishes and left.Hesper looked a little bewildered, so Nathaniel helplessly explained, “Don’t worry about him. That’s how he treats everyone. Seth is indeed my younger brother, but he likes to cook and he’s rather introverted, which is why you haven’t heard much of him.”Hesper nodded with a hazy notion. Nathaniel pushed the dishes she ordered closer toward her while she was still a little confused and said, “Try them. His cooking is comparable to a professional chef’s.”After the two of them had dinner, Nathaniel sent Hesper back home.As dusk fell, Hesper could not help but sigh as she stared at the breathtaking but fleeting scenery outside the window.“What’s the matter? Are you tired?” Nathaniel’s voice came from the left.Hesper shook her head slowly and said after a short pause, “I’m still thinking ab

‘And the things that I managed to gather almost scared the crap out of me. I’m guessing that not only did Mr. Duval not get to see Ms. Lane, but he actually got to meet his love rival instead? Maybe Ms. Lane was even getting a little steamy with Nathaniel there. After all, they’re actually in a proper engagement agreement, so they could do whatever they want...’Thinking of this, Benji could not help but inwardly say a prayer for his boss.Rickard stood under the tree for a long time after that. The cigarette hanging between his lips was not lit, and he himself did not even know what he was thinking about.In the end, Benji felt that something was not right, so he called Zikmund and asked him to drive over to Hesper’s place to pick Rickard up.“Does she really not like me anymore?” Rickard asked Zikmund directly.Looking at his haggard friend, Zikmund could not help but sigh.“I’ve heard about the recent incidents. To be honest, Hesper’s attacks are freaking ruthless; that means

Chapter 204

Ever since Rickard started to fight back, Hesper instantly realized that Rickard had been giving in deliberately before. But why would that matter? The use of others’ feelings for her was also a means of business. It was not that she could not use it, it was just that she could not be bothered to use it.Nathaniel came to Genecity only to deliver things to Hesper. Since he had done everything that he wanted to do, and Hesper was busy with work every day and did not have time to entertain him, he returned to Emperion.“There will be a charity auction tomorrow night. I’ve rejected a few events of such nature on your behalf before this because the company hasn’t officially stabilized and gone on track.” Renee updated Hesper on an invitation. “But this is different. The organizer specially sent an invitation letter here, so do you want to attend the event?”When she was in Emperion, Hesper often followed Matthew to various auctions, which were always great opportunities for companies to

Chapter 205

Before Hesper had the time to say anything, beeping sounds started to ring in her ear, signaling the end of the call.‘If Seth slipped his business card to me secretly, it means that he doesn’t want Nathaniel to know about this.’Hesper was forced to listen to those incomprehensible words and felt that the matter was getting more and more dubious. Nathaniel was most likely to know something about this, but Hesper had an inexplicable intuition deep down.‘I guess I shouldn’t ask Nathaniel about this matter first, at least not now.’Letting go of her doubts for the time, Hesper reminded herself not to think about those complicated matters.‘The most urgent task on my hands at the moment is to make it impossible for Duval Group to recover, and then get Renfrew’s custody back, and lastly, make sure that Lane Holdings settles down in Genecity smoothly. There are still too many things to focus on, so I have no time to think about all these illusory affairs.’Hesper put her phone down,

Chapter 206

Juniper was born with a delicate and captivating look, so as long as her beholder did not deliberately try to find fault in her appearance, she might even look a little innocent and artless.“You look nice.” Ariana nodded. “However, I’m here to tell you to not go to the charity gala tonight.”Ariana’s gaze and expression still looked gentle and amiable, but what she said did not seem to leave Juniper with any choices.Juniper’s expression turned cold instantly, and she stared at Ariana in confusion.“Why? I’ve been preparing for this event for a long time, and I only want to be there to...” Juniper’s eyes wandered out of focus for a split second, and she exclaimed with a frown, “I don’t care. I must attend the function tonight. If you don’t want me to go, shouldn’t you at least give me a valid reason?”Ariana nodded. “Rickard and Hesper will be attending the banquet tonight too, so I don’t want you to go. This is the reason.”‘Nowadays, there’s been so much ruckus going on betwee

Chapter 207

When Zikmund heard that Rickard was attending the event this time around, he guessed that he must have come to see Hesper. After all, the organizer had already announced Hesper’s attendance, so many people who wanted to get to know Hesper decided to attend too.‘Is Rickard worried that Hesper will gain more connections in the business circle, or is he afraid that Hesper will fall for someone else?Zikmund pulled Rickard out of the car, only to choke on the smell of the smoke inside and begin sneezing. In the past, Rickard would only light a cigarette when life was not going his way, but something like this had never happened before.Zikmund sighed.‘What else can I do? He’s still my best friend, my brother. I can only help him out.’“I’ve arranged something for today,” Rickard said indifferently.Zikmund was a little confused.‘What arrangement is he talking about?’Without any further explanation, Rickard walked straight into the venue.Zikmund was still bewildered, so he str

Chapter 208

What was more, Rickard treated Juniper so well back then, but Juniper only wanted to take advantage of him, then pinned the blame on Hesper when things went south.If it was not for Rickard’s blind trust in Juniper, perhaps these things would have come to light since the very beginning. Taking advantage of this situation, Juniper should have left immediately, but she was shameless enough to stay and pester Rickard further for so many years.The former relationship between Rickard and Hesper was no longer a secret because of the blabbermouth, Juniper. So when some attendees who knew about the relationship between Rickard and Juniper saw the posture of the three of them, they could instantly imagine a huge, dramatic scene in their mind.However, the auction began officially, not giving the imagination more time to develop.The auction was completely transparent. Everyone sat in the auditorium and would raise their placards to bid for any item that they wanted.Hesper had seen a lot

Chapter 209

Juniper did not expect that Rickard would intervene in the bidding out of the blue and raise the bid to such a high price in one go.She only had $25,000 in her possession, which she had managed to scrape together with great difficulty. She had not been working and getting paid for several months and she had never had the habit of saving money, so she was about to spend all the money that she had earned before this.Ariana was also afraid that she would use the money to commit crimes, so she stopped giving her a large amount of pocket money. Juniper had to save for a few months just for tonight.Juniper prayed deep down that Rickard would stop bidding. $22,500 might be nothing to Rickard, but it was basically all she had at the moment.At this moment, her heart was bleeding deep down, but she still had to maintain her proud smile on the surface.However, the $24,000 that Rickard followed up with in the next second broke her fantasy completely.Juniper could not help but look at R

Chapter 210

Hesper was indeed thinking about leaving early. Although there was a dinner party after the auction, she had already gotten the business cards of the people that she wanted to know. She even got to witness Rickard and Juniper’s epic fight scene live.‘There’s nothing better than getting to go back and rest early.’Hesper yawned, and through her teary eyes, she saw Rickard looking back at her. His gaze was filled with complex emotions that could not be easily ignored.However, she did not want to see his gaze, and she did not want to understand his emotions either.Rickard looked away and then said, “What’s going to happen tonight has nothing to do with her, so it’s better for her to leave early.”Zikmund curled his lips, wondering when exactly Rickard started to possess the ability to rise above his old self and the characteristic of self-sacrifice.‘Love does make someone go blind.’Sitting at the back, Juniper could clearly see all the tiny movements between the two. When she
