Chapter 231

Rickard and Hesper looked at each other in silence, but Hesper won. Rickard couldn’t stand seeing her cold gaze, so he turned and left. ***“I don’t think Rickard did this.” Hesper finally spoke after a long time with an unusual calmness. “I know him. He’s not someone who would stoop so low. Find out if there were other suspicious people.”“Alright,” Renee replied. Hesper turned on her laptop and looked at the share prices that had kept stable, then couldn’t help but sigh. ‘Renfrew, when can I finally bring you home?’Hesper missed her child, and he missed her too. Renfrew wouldn’t have felt sad if he never experienced the joy of having his mother around. There was a saying, ‘I could walk through all darkness in life if I never met my mother—’The poet Renfrew sighed at the setting sun and was ready to go back to his room with homework in hand. The homework that Ms. Myriade gave him recently had gotten more difficult. Julie and Sophia kept bothering him in the room. He c

Renfrew shook his feet as he sat on the bed. Rickard moved a chair over and sat across him. “Alright, tell me. Who helped you?”Rickard watched the surveillance that was tampered with previously and it was done so well that there were no traces left. The tech team at Duval Group wasn’t a bunch of free-loaders, but they still couldn’t break the code. It wasn’t because they were terrible but the person who did it was very careful. Rickard suddenly realized that he never knew who Renfrew was in touch with. This person who had been helping him must have some ulterior motive… Being questioned was something Renfrew would inevitably face since he was born into the Duval family. “I won’t tell you. It’s a secret between us.” Renfrew was stubborn. “She wouldn’t lie to me.”Renfrew was rarely so stubborn and would never hide anything from him. However, Rickard suddenly realized that maybe this person had been in Renfrew’s life for a long time but he just never noticed. It was due to his

Renfrew nodded. “I know, I need to become stronger to protect Mommy!”Rickard paused, then nodded. “Yes, that’s how you protect Mommy.”“That’s why everyone around you treats you nice and helps you, giving you some treats. But all these come at a cost, and it’s nothing compared to what they would get from lying to you.”Renfrew looked at Rickard for a moment, then nodded. “But I’m willing to believe her.”In the corner where they couldn’t see, the light of the phone lit up and went out as if it never happened. Hesper soon traced the leads back to Sophia, but since the previous doctor was nowhere to be found, even if all the evidence pointed toward Sophia, they didn’t have enough evidence to prove that Sophia did anything. “Are we just going to let her get away?”Renee wasn’t happy about that. Hesper never thought that Sophia, who had been lying low, would suddenly attack her. At the end of the day, what happened didn’t affect her too much. She just randomly fell terribly s

Renfrew gave the phone a few knocks because he couldn't hear his mother’s voice again. He then looked at Rickard with a confused look. “Is the phone broken? Why isn’t she talking?”Rickard guessed that Hesper was probably trying to compose herself, so he shook his head and pointed at the phone. Renfrew understood and then nodded. “Mommy, I need to tell you something!”Hearing how mature her son sounded, Hesper laughed and her tears were gone. “Yes?”Renfrew immediately told her what he heard in the garden the other day and about the recording on his phone. When his secret with Ms. Myriade got out, he lost his appetite for a few days until Ms. Myriade reached out to him. Then he suddenly remembered that Sophia was framing his mother! He immediately told his father about it. Hesper hadn’t expected Rickard to call to provide evidence to her or for Renfrew to play a vital part in it. She didn’t know how to react to that. “You’re my favorite child. Thank you for helping me!”Ren

Hesper frowned but Rickard continued. “Well, do you accept?”“Sure, I’m not the one giving away money, so why wouldn’t I accept?” Even though she didn’t know what Rickard was planning, she really missed Renfrew. She was willing to accept any suggestion that Rickard gave, even the unreasonable ones. After hanging up, the more she thought about it, Hesper thought that something was wrong. Suddenly, she received a recording from an unknown number. Her business with Sophia was important, so Hesper smiled. After downloading the file and listening to it, she realized that the recording was much clearer than she imagined. “$70,000 to get a few days off?”Hesper couldn’t help but suspect that Sophia was crazy. She could go to the same mental hospital as her brother. She sent the recording to Renee, who immediately replied OK and contacted their attorney. Even though Hesper wasn’t terribly sick, with some words from the lawyer, it wouldn’t be a problem to put Sophia behind bars for in

Chapter 236

It was crowded at the amusement park during the weekend. Renfrew pulled Hesper around as Rickard followed along not too far behind, not seeming to want to get closer to them. Everything reminded him of the day at the aquarium, but Hesper was different. He couldn’t pinpoint what was different, but previously, Hesper was fully immersed in the joy of spending time with Renfrew and forgot about Rickard. This time, she kept thinking about what Rickard was doing behind them. Was giving the agreement to her part of the reparations?Hesper felt complicated. She finally got to spend time with Renfrew but couldn’t enjoy the time because of other things. That wasn’t fair to Renfrew. “Mommy, are you afraid of heights?” Renfrew suddenly turned around with twinkling eyes. “I want to ride that!”Hesper looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw the Drop Tower in front of them, the hottest ride in the park. There was a long queue in front and it looked very popular. Hesper didn’t k

The three got in line but Renfrew was stopped at the gate. “This child is too small. He can’t ride this.” The attendant frowned. “Didn’t you see the height limit? Can’t you young parents pay more attention? Don’t you know how to take care of your kid?”It was the first time Hesper and Rickard went to an amusement park, so neither of them knew about the height and age limit. They didn’t know what to say when confronted. “We’re not…” Hesper was afraid that the attendant would think they were a couple, but the attendant didn’t give them time to explain and brought Renfrew to an area next to the ride. He then checked their tickets. “Go on, we’ll look after the child.”“But—” Hesper wanted to speak, but the visitors behind them were impatient and shoved them both to the front. Hesper was just ‘taking the ride with Renfrew’, but ended up taking the ride with Rickard. Hesper was speechless but it was too late to turn back. The entrance was blocked by other park visitors, so they cou

Chapter 238

After what happened, no matter what Renfrew wanted to do, Hesper would first check the height requirement and wouldn’t let the awkward situation happen again. Maybe the fear during the Drop Tower overpowered her other emotions, but Hesper forgot about what happened with Rickard and ignored him as she held onto Renfrew’s hand.Rickard didn’t want to get in between them. Whenever Renfrew asked for something, he would come forward and pay for it, but he would just quietly follow behind them the rest of the time. They stayed at the amusement park until closing time and watched the fireworks show that was only shown on Sundays. Renfrew rarely slept late, so by the time the fireworks ended, Renfrew was resting his head on Hesper’s shoulder, just trying to finish watching the parade. Rickard stood aside and watched them both. Hesper took a deep breath and controlled her anger as she said, “What are you looking at? My arm is going numb. Can’t you take him?”Rickard looked at her, see

Isaac shook his head when that idea crept into his mind. If Rickard was someone so emotional, he wouldn’t have hurt Hesper. Compared to money, relationships were so unsubstantial. What one could hold was much more realistic. As for love and feelings… they would always grow weaker over time, so it wasn’t considered real. Hesper was a little confused when she woke up. Mondays were always busy. She slept late that night. No one would be able to deal with that. Jessie looked at the uncharacteristically tired Hesper and said, “Where were you last night? You're going to outdo pandas with those dark circles.”Hesper was a little out of it as she walked to the lecture halls with Jessie. There was a noise coming from the room; they looked at each other and saw the confusion in their eyes. Everyone would usually act the way Hesper was acting so early in the morning; even if it wasn’t dead silent, it was as if the room was on silent mode. Why was it noisy this morning? They curio

Chapter 240

Hesper opened her eyes when she heard what Jessie said and sat up straight as Xavier walked in. Michelle sat smack in the middle, so it was impossible for Xavier not to see her. He wouldn’t be nice to Michelle, as she wasn’t very talented but would always find trouble with others. “Oh, someone is sitting in for free.” He placed his thermos cup on the table and didn’t say more, as if Michelle didn’t used to be his student and was just a stranger he didn’t know. He turned around and switched the laptop on. Michelle felt humiliated, but when no one noticed it because they were afraid of Xavier, she relaxed. “I’ve looked at the work from the previous lecture,” While waiting for the laptop to boot, Xavier waved his hand to ask Jessie to give the work back to everyone. “You seem to be very talented when it comes to creating trash.”Jessie stifled a laugh as Hesper slapped her forehead. She thought that Xavier wouldn’t humiliate the students because Michelle was there, but he was sti
