Chapter 251

Matthew frowned in silence for a short while, then said, “But I just spoke to his professor yesterday. They’re definitely free now.”That was the silver lining. Hesper’s instinct was that this wasn’t a mere coincidence. The hidden message on the sticky note was what Julian couldn’t say. That was why he tried to use four words to tell her something?Beware of those around. The people around? Hesper took out her phone and wanted to send a message that she was going to send a while ago just to test it out, but another question popped up in her mind. Why would this bag suddenly show up at her doorstep? Who left it there?When she thought of that, she put her phone away just to be careful. She didn’t want to alert anyone. The competition held by the Duvals was coming to an end. Michelle was undeniably the winner. Since the diversion caused by the Lanes Competition and Robert was very obvious, the Duval Competition started out strong but eventually flopped. A lot of people could

Chapter 252

Oblivious to the scheming happening between Juniper and Michelle, Hesper drove over to Ernest’s place to drop some medication off. When she got back, she started paying attention to the competition. Now that Matthew was living in Genecity, she could take a break from the company. She handed her previous work to Matthew but suddenly realized that he probably insisted on staying in Genecity to help her manage the company. “Don’t get emotional about this.”Seeing how Hesper was looking at him with puppy eyes, he cleared his throat and then looked away. “I just don’t want to die of exhaustion because it would be tough for me to explain to Grandpa.”She didn’t have to worry about the company and Professor Jenkins would vouch for her in university, so Hesper could join the competition without worry. “Come back as the winner. I believe in you.”The day before the competition began, Jessie had to drag Hesper to get some barbecue to celebrate her win. Hesper didn’t know how to react. “

Hesper held the glass of warm tea in her hands and sat there silently. Rickard finally broke the silence. “Are you going to join the Lane Competition tomorrow?”Hesper wasn’t surprised that he knew, so she nodded. “It will last about a month or even longer. I won’t be able to visit Renfrew during that time. Please tell him I’m sorry.”“Okay.” Rickard took a piece of beef tongue and placed it on her plate. Zikmund watched their interaction suspiciously. Weren’t they on bad terms? When they went to see Ernest the other day, he heard Rickard and Hesper arguing. He was planning to console his broken-hearted best friend because he thought that their relationship would end. Seeing what was happening changed his mind. “My brother is in Genecity and will take over Lane Holdings. You’re going to see him a lot.” Hesper looked down. “Don’t make him angry.”Hesper got up and went back to her seat before Rickard could say anything. Zikmund was confused. “What is happening between the two

“Matt?”Hesper, not having expected him to show up, tugged at her sleeve that she rolled up before. “Why are you waiting here? I’m not a child anymore. I can find my way home.”Matthew shook his head. “It’s too late. As a woman, it’s unsafe for you to be alone.”“Oh…” Hesper walked over to walk next to him. Hesper felt down-to-earth as she walked next to him because there was a sense of familial love that she never felt before this. The feeling Matthew gave was different from what she got from Grandpa Ernest. Maybe because Hesper used to be more egoistic and sensitive, but she was thankful and respected the man who pulled her out of the orphanage. However, Matthew was different. Hesper thought that she was meant to be his sister after meeting him. When they got home, Hesper suddenly remembered that Matthew couldn’t cook, so she was curious if he had eaten. “What did you have for dinner?”Matthew was silent for a few minutes. “I didn’t.”As Hesper expected. She nodded.

Hesper nodded and didn’t hold back with her compliments. “I followed the Duval Competition and I remember you very well. You’re talented and have your own ideas. I was rooting for you.”Hearing that, Celine smiled bashfully and showed a deep dimple. “Thank you, but I’m not that good or I wouldn’t have been eliminated so soon.”Hesper wanted to say something but there was a commotion in front. Hesper and Celine’s conversation was cut short as they looked up and saw Michelle. “Michelle?”Hesper wasn’t expecting that at all and couldn’t help but frown. “What is she doing here?”In comparison, Celine was much calmer as if Michelle hadn’t bullied her. “The Duval competition ended, so I guess she has time to join this one.”But she already won that one and made a name and brand for herself. Now if she joined this competition, it would look… terrible. Hesper was like Celine. She didn’t give a huge reaction when Michelle suddenly showed up. She just thought that Michelle shouldn’t hav

Realizing that, Hesper looked up sharply and looked around for a camera of sorts, but she wasn’t familiar with the place, so she couldn’t figure out where the cameras would be hidden. “This contestant is so sharp. Look at number 23!”“By the way, why did Michelle Sullivan roll her eyes? What’s on her mind?”“Yes, 23 seems to realize that there are cameras, haha.”Everyone’s phone had been taken while they were on the way there, but since Hesper usually wore a watch, she knew the time. When they had been there for seven minutes, Hesper walked back and stood next to Celine.“What’s going on?” Celine didn’t know what was going on, but she was observant and could guess that Hesper probably realized something based on her reaction, so she lowered her voice and looked at Hesper with doe eyes. Hesper leaned closer. “The organizers might have something planned. I suspect that there are some hidden cameras around and they must be live streaming.”Coincidentally, when she said that, the

You better not try to stand out. By the fifteenth minute, everyone was growing tired. Hesper sat on her luggage bag and guessed that by that time, someone would probably be there to get them soon. The second after that thought came to her mind, party poppers went off in the sky. After some cheering, the shuttle buses showed up to get their bags while confetti floated to the ground. Some fell on Hesper’s shoulder and hair. Celine looked at the confetti and her eyes were shining. “It’s so pretty. It would be so nice if we could record it.”Hesper looked at her, then smiled. “Don’t worry, someone is recording.”The Lanes went all out on the budget. They prepared a luxurious hotel and the producers led them to the concierge for keycard collection. Hesper and Celine were at the back of the group following along at a casual pace. Michelle was walking in front of the crowd, but when she saw the two hanging at the back, she slowed down and fell back.“Hello, Hesper,” Michelle gree

The initial room distribution was more humane because the designers were somewhat known. There wasn’t the need to make it into a show, so two people shared a room, and there was a balcony in each room. Hesper and Celine were given the same room. Since they were among the last few to get their room cards, the room was in a more secluded area, which they both wanted. The more quiet and less disturbance there was, the better for them. Their room was on the second floor with plants on the balcony. They could see trees outside the compound. Even though it was no longer green at the end of autumn, it was still very pretty. When the cameraman saw that they were almost done unpacking their bags, he went over to remind them.“There’ll be an interview session for each person. Since some designers have never been in front of the cameras, the Lanes have arranged for professional makeup artists so that everyone will have some simple makeup done.”Hesper had never been on camera before, bu

“You’re leaving already, sir?”The helper was going to bring a pot of tea in but saw Rickard coming out while carefully closing the door. “Yes.” Rickard nodded. “Don’t tell him I came here. How is he? The doctor said he’s better, but I’d like to know from you.”The helper nodded. “He is a lot better and is very much in stable condition. He doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night anymore all thanks to Mrs. Duval’s medication…”The helper realized that she had made a mistake when she mentioned Hesper, so she corrected herself. “I mean Ms. Rivera.”“It’s fine. Thank you.” Rickard didn’t have more to say, so he said, “Grandpa and Aunt Curie are old, so don’t let them watch live streams too late into the night. There’ll be a rerun after that.”“Hmm?” The helper didn’t understand. A live stream? What was he watching?She was still confused as she watched Rickard disappear around the corner. She looked at the pot in her hands then turned to change it to ginger tea to bring over to

Chapter 260

The first day was just for unpacking and getting to know each contestant better. The organizers prepared breakfast and there were snacks in each room, with fresh meat and vegetables in the fridge. Most of the contestants couldn’t cook or didn’t want to cook first thing in the morning, so they all went to the cafeteria for breakfast. Celine woke up to the smell of food. Hesper made breakfast and removed the covering on the camera. Celine got ready and when she walked out, Hesper was sitting at the bar and checking her phone with two sets of breakfast in front of her. “I don’t know if you like this, but I figured that since I was cooking anyway, I might as well make two sets.”Hesper didn’t really like the food prepared by the organizers. She usually woke up early to watch business news, so after checking out what they had in the fridge, she decided to cook. The food smelled nice. Celine nodded. “Thank you.”The two sat across each other and finished breakfast. By then it was
