Chapter 391

The reason Arthur believed in them was due to some preconceived notions, but everything that happened that night was absurd in Hesper's point of view. She did not believe a single word of what Simon and Theodore said. "But the paternity test result can't be fake, and Aunt Helen wouldn't stand on your side for no reason. Obviously, the things that happened tonight took her by surprise as well," Matthew said, "She must have done the paternity test a long time ago. It's only after the truth was revealed tonight that she hesitated about whether it was more beneficial for her to disclose the result or not."Hesper was stunned for a moment before saying, "So… I'm really one of the Lanes? I'm really Grandpa Arthur's granddaughter and your biological cousin sister?"Matthew nodded, his eyes finally showing a hint of warmth. "Hesper, we hit the jackpot in this gamble tonight."The tears that Hesper had been holding back the whole night finally rolled down her cheeks. She threw himself into

Hesper knew what he was trying to say. He wanted her to stay at home and stop thinking about going back to the company. As long as Hesper did according to his wishes, Wilfred was willing to keep an amicable relationship with her. Hesper gave a cold smirk. Even though she no longer had the power to manage the company, it did not mean that she had to yield to Wilfred. On the contrary, she did not have to care about Wilfred's thoughts anymore. In the past, the reason she did not have a fall out with Wilfred was that she did not want to put Arthur in a difficult position. Besides, taking care of a company was more difficult than she imagined, so she had to maintain a good relationship with everyone.However, things were different now."Everyone here in this room knows what you're thinking, so you can drop the act now, Uncle Will," Hesper said, offering Wilfred a smile. She pushed the things on the table back to Wilfred and continued. "You can take these back. I don't think I can acce

Hesper could not return to the company, so this meant that her previous plan to compete for custody of Renfrew by making the Duval Group bankrupt was completely impossible to achieve.Hesper had been thinking about this issue for days. In fact, she had already considered it in the past. After all, Rachael would return sooner or later, and Hesper had long anticipated that day."I should probably finish my studies first. The Lanes are in chaos right now, and I don't want to cause trouble for everyone.""I'll talk to Grandpa and try to get you back to the company," Matthew said while shaking his head. "You're very capable. Even if you're not one of the legitimate born Lanes, you're a valuable asset to the Lane Holdings, not to mention that you have the family's blood flowing in you…"Hesper knew that these were completely different concepts, but she understood that Matthew wanted to give her a chance. If he really cared about bloodlines, he would not have brought her back to the Lane

At first, Roberto thought Hesper would turn him down. After all, Hesper had rejected him firmly once. However, this was indeed a wonderful opportunity. That was why he still sent the application form to Hesper, despite knowing that the chances were slim. To his surprise, Hesper said she would consider it.[Hesper: Something came up, and going abroad is a big deal. So, I need some time to consider. Please give me one more day.][Roberto: Sure. Take your time. I'll reserve the slot for you.]After she had finished talking to Roberto, Hesper started to go through the things she needed to prepare for studying abroad. With the recommendation from Roberto and her result from the Lane Group's competition, she believed that applying for the university should not be a problem.Regarding the necessary documents for going abroad, Hesper had been traveling between different countries for work, and her visa for Fredonia was still valid, so she could go there anytime.As for Renfrew and Matth

Hesper was stunned.Jessie fell silent for a moment before turning to face Hesper and said in a serious voice, "Well, that's possible."It was only then Mrs. Jenkins knew Hesper had something important to tell them today. She grabbed Xavier with one hand and Hesper with the other while leading them into the living hall. "Sit down and tell me everything. There is no need to rush things. It's New Year, after all.""Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins," Hesper said with a nod."You don't have to thank me. Xavier is your professor, and people always say that once a professor, always a father, so I can also be considered as half of your mother," Mrs. Jenkins said, patting Hesper's hand."I made a lot of your favorite food tonight. You know what? Something weird happened today. Xavier and Jess don't like fish, but when I was at the market today, I saw a fish that was very fresh, so I bought it. You like to eat fish, don't you?"Looking at Mrs. Jenkins's smiling eyes, a surge of bitterness flooded

"Jeez, when can you stop being such an unreliable girl?" Mdm, Jenkins placed the dish on the table and smacked Jessie's arm. "Whoever marries you in the future must be the most unlucky man in the world.""Why do you always say that I can't get married? Do you know how hurtful it is…"They chatted happily throughout the meal, and Hesper finally made up her mind. Xavier was right. An opportunity like this was not something that one would come by every day, and she might not be so lucky the next time.Since she had decided to become a designer, she should respect the path. "You don't have to worry about the procedures. I'll contact them and make sure you can go to Fredonia without any issue," Xavier said. He had a few cups of wine, so his face was red. "Thank you so much, Professor Jenkins." Hesper nodded.After they had finished their meal, Jessie pulled Hesper into her room. Hesper had not told Matthew that she had come back that day, and she had not talked to him about going ab

Jessie let out a sigh. She pulled the blanket up and studied Hesper's serene sleeping face.In fact, she knew that Hesper must have gone through a lot more than she told her. After all, there was no way Hesper could sum up everything that happened in the last five years in a few sentences. She was certain what Hesper had endured was far more brutal than she described. She just did not know what motivated Hesper to keep moving forward after suffering the pain of losing her loved one and the agony of getting separated from her son.It sounded so exhausting.Perhaps it was her personality, but Jessie was fully aware that she would never put all her thoughts and feelings into one man. She valued her freedom, and love was a burden.*Hesper was used to waking up early. Hence, even though she did not have anything to do, she woke up early. Jessie was still sleeping soundly next to her. Honestly, she did not turn and toss around last night as she claimed.Hesper took a look at the t

With Xavier and Roberto's help, Hesper finished her exchange student procedure very quickly. The weather in Genecity had gotten a lot colder on the day Hesper left the country. Matthew purposely came to see her off at the airport. After all, they might not be able to see each other for a long time."Make sure you take care of yourself over there. I'll come see you at Fredonia when I'm free. Focus on your studies and your work." Matthew had been reminding her, and Hesper shook her head helplessly. "You look like a father who is reluctant to let his daughter get married, you know? I'm just going to study abroad, not disappearing forever," Hesper said with a sigh."Well…" Matthew paused for a second before continuing. "I haven't fully accepted the fact that you're leaving. What about Rickard and Renfrew? Are you giving them up?""Hmm… Renfrew is the only heir that the Duvals have, so nothing will happen to him. Besides, I'm sure you know best what Renfrew is capable of. If someone

"Alright. We've already seen her. Let's head back," Rickard said. When he turned around, his eyes registered a familiar figure at the corner. However, the figure soon disappeared from his sight. Rickard furrowed his eyebrows, but the figure was already gone out of sight and he didn't even know the exact direction to chase after them.Rickard had a feeling that he knew that person, but he could not tell who he was. Therefore, he had no other choice but to give up.*Since she had already checked in her luggage, Hesper boarded the plane smoothly without any issue. The ticket was booked by the university. Hesper was not the manager of Lane Holdings anymore, so she did not see the need for first-class seats. She followed the university's arrangement and sat in economy class.As it was still a holiday season, there were not many passengers on the plane, and Hesper's seat happened to be by the window. Although there was not much difference on the plane, she felt it was a good start.

013's answer did not dispel the doubts in Hesper's mind. Instead, it made her even more confused. After waiting for a flight attendant to pass by, Hesper whispered, "Second question. Why do you want to kill me? Don't tell me it's because of Juniper. She doesn't have any relationship with you anymore, right?""Well…" 013 chuckled softly in Hesper's ear. "You're smarter than Juniper. She's such an idiot. As her partner, I warned her not to do anything without planning, but she was too foolish and wouldn't listen."The ear-popping sensation during takeoff made people feel slightly uncomfortable."As for why I have to kill you… Well, that's a good question. I guess it's because I'm jealous of you, and in a way, I was born because of you."Hesper frowned. She certainly did not think it was some sort of supernatural event, but what 013 said was strange. As Hesper pondered, a flash of insight struck her, and she had the answer in her mind."You're the second personality?"*Myriade w
