Chapter 371

During the second half, after an introduction by Arthur, Hesper met everyone from her generation from the other families. Based on what he said, she gleaned that she could pick anyone from that group; they'd marry her to anyone of her choice.That stunned Hesper and she distanced herself from Arthur's eyes. Renfrew called her that evening and said that he learned a lot from the new teacher. He ate his food and missed her a little. The snow outside did not stop falling. Hesper listened to him and sighed. It would be the new year in two days. She didn't get to spend it with Renfrew on the first year that they reunited, but she had to sacrifice times like that to make sure that he was able to grow up safe. "Don't worry, Mommy. I'll be a good boy and wait for you to come home."Hesper said alright, took a deep breath, and pretended to be relaxed. "It's getting late. Time for bed. I'll be home soon.""Okay, Mommy. I believe you."After hanging up, Hesper stood in front of the wi

This also meant that they would soon discover that she had traced their IP. It would be too difficult to catch someone based on the address that was all the way on the other side of the ocean, so Hesper didn't plan to catch them with this trick. She just wanted to taunt them and show them that she wasn't predictable. Since she was in the light and they were in the dark, all they could do was play little games.That being said, Hesper still sent someone to the location to see if they could find any valuable clues. ***There was a lot to prepare for the new year countdown at the Lane household. Arthur loved to be surrounded by people. Maybe he wished that he had his family around him at his age, so Matthew was back early. Hesper had been busy with all kinds of work previously, so now that she had some free time, she didn't know what to do. She went to the kitchen to learn how to cook. Everyone knew that Hesper was a good cook, but there were a lot of dishes from Emperion that

The person outside the wall didn't speak, but Hesper had her answer. "Aren't you going to speak, Rickard?"Rickard wasn't surprised that Hesper knew it was him, but he still kept quiet and leaned down to light up another one. It went off outside the wall and Hesper looked up in silence. "Happy new year, Hepser."Hesper didn't reply but Rickard didn't speak after a long time because he had left. Only Hesper was there with a floor full of firework debris, evidence of the firework show that was for one person. "...Happy new year."Hesper only had a sweater on. The cold wind blew and she looked down while blinking her dry red eyes. "Happy new year."***There was a rule that fireworks were banned in Genecity. The new year was always lively, but if fireworks were banned, there was nothing to look forward to. Hesper left the orphanage a long time ago, so all she remembered about the place was that the rich families would donate some to them. She had only just gone to stay wit

She had a crush on him for over a decade. Hesper came back to the present and smiled at herself. She always thought that she found some sort of evidence of his feelings for her, so she was willing to give everything up for that illusion. "Hesper, what are you doing out here in the cold?"Hesper turned around and saw Helen walking over. She put a jacket on her. "I saw that you disappeared after dinner so I came over to take a look."Helen saw the debris on the floor but didn't comment on it and instead said, "It's too cold outside. You're going to be sick for a long time if you catch a cold. Come inside, I'll get the cook to make some soup for you.""...Thanks."Even though Hesper didn't think Helen was sincerely nice to her, she didn't want to reject her offer, so she went in with her. Matthew could tell that something was wrong with her and walked over while Helen went to the kitchen. "What's going on?"Hesper knew that she couldn't hide anything from him, so she came cle

On new year's day, Hesper got ready to return to Genecity. After drinking the soup and resting, Hesper didn't catch a cold and was energetic the next day. Hesper had originally wanted to find out more about Shawn when she went back to Emperion and also cancel her wedding agreement. However, now it seemed that she had to take a trip back to the orphanage to find out more about Shawn. As for the wedding agreement… It seemed less like a lock and more like something she could use to avoid questions. Realizing that, she suddenly felt helpless. She had to admit that the agreement was a good shield. However, to ensure that Nathaniel understood how she felt about their relationship, she said a lot of things to make it very clear. If they were to continue their current relationship, she had to find time to talk to him. That afternoon, Hesper arrived at Genecity. Most people were on holiday, so Hesper didn't work and instead went to the hospital to see Roberto. "Happy new year."

"If you need help in the future, talk to me. I'm your mentor." Roberto placed his hand on her shoulder. "I hope that we'll meet again soon."Hesper smiled and her dimples showed. "I hope that you'll find out the truth of what happened soon too and reunite with your daughter."***On the way back, Hesper suddenly received an invitation to join a group chat. She frowned but clicked on it. The number was her private account that only a few colleagues had. Since she was feared in the office, even the employees who had her number wouldn't text her. Did they all see things differently in the new year?Hesper accepted the invitation. Employee A: Someone new joined. Did we get a new recruit?Hesper looked at the name of the group: 'Tear down the capitalists'. She frowned in silence. The group chat was busy, possibly because it was a holiday. Hesper had a good memory and saw that a few numbers belonged to employees at Lane Holdings. No one replied to the message about the new re

Isaac sounded guilty. "Did you see everything in the group chat?""I'm not blind." Hepser stifled a laugh and sounded cool. "Reading about gossip, Mr. Lennon? You must feel nice every day.""...I'm sorry!"Hesper chuckled. "Alright, am I that petty? The group sounds interesting. I'm going to leave for now. Do you get what I mean?""I won't expose you!""Good." Hesper chuckled, then asked, "Where were you counting down? Do you want to grab dinner?"Isaac was an orphan who grew up in Emperion with Matthew. The new year was nothing special to him. He would just spend the holiday in his apartment. Hearing that, Isaac was a little embarrassed. "I shouldn't be bothering you on new year's day.""I'm just at home too. You can come over and make the place more lively," Hesper said. "I'll call Renee after this and ask if she wants to come over too."Isaac agreed, so Hesper called Renee, who agreed too. "I'll get the food. You just have to show up." Hesper asked the driver to go to th

"Even if his family forced him to go on a blind date and he was just humoring them, that was rude."Hesper grabbed Jessie's hand and pulled her up. "We're going to have dinner at my home today. I'll call Professor Jenkins and tell him that you're here.""Thank you!"It wasn't the first time Jessie visited her place. She knew the place well, so Hesper went into the kitchen to start cooking. Hesper rarely invited friends over for dinner. Before ending her failed marriage with Rickard, she didn't have friends. After going to live with the Lanes, she focused on self-improvement and pretending to be someone she wasn't, so she didn't have a lot of time to breathe. It was difficult for her to find time to enjoy a holiday alone. Isaac and Renee came together. Even though Hesper said they didn't have to bring anything, Renee bought a few types of wine. Hesper didn't get any drinks because they would be too heavy for her to carry. She was planning to get them from the store nearby."Yo

"The celery at the cafeteria was horrible today. If I went to the restaurants nearby, I might bump into Ms. Lane, so I just swallowed it.""That's an exaggeration… I bumped into her when I was getting coffee this afternoon. I had my head low the entire time because I was worried that she might chat with me.""An exaggeration? After I finished the awful food, I realized that she was sitting next to me in the cafeteria. I was impressed.""Haha…""The food there is awful. Hesper hates celery.""..." Hesper frowned. The message about her hating celery was quickly replaced, but she had already seen it. She checked the sender's number; the name was just a question mark and the profile picture was the default photo. It looked like a second number. A lot of people knew that she hated celery, but how would people in the office know?She gave the number to Renee, who was confused. "Where did you find this number? Where should I start investigating?""Hmm… Where I got it from isn't i

The amount was manageable to Hesper. She shook her head and was honest. "I came here today because I need your help.""Alright, go ahead. I'll do my best to help."Hesper stood on the spot and said, "I want to know who sponsored me. Maybe I had a friend when I was a child who wasn't Julian."The director hesitated. She didn't have to check her records to remember who Hesper's sponsor was. However, when the person gave them the money, the biggest request was not to tell Hesper their identity even when she became an adult."Your expression shows that that person is very special and didn't just randomly sponsor me. There must be something behind that." Hesper's voice was clear.She had thought about it a lot. Even her surname, Rivera, was given by the sponsor, and Rivera… wasn't a unique last name where she was from."You told me that I was abandoned outside the orphanage. I never questioned that." Hesper sighed, then softened her tone. "I just want to know my past. If you know anyt
