We’ll see what Hesper thinks.”
Arthur Lane waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter if she changes her name. She would still be part of the
family. Rivera is what she grew up with, so she shouldn’t forget where she came from even after
becoming part of our family. That’s good.”
Hesper gave a sigh of relief after hearing that. She turned around and wined at Arthur.
Matthew was done with work and went home not long after they started chatting.
The relatives didn’t dare to do anything to Hesper when Matthew wasn’t around and were even more
cautious when he got there.
If Arthur was protective of Hesper, Matthew downright spoiled her. No one would dare touch his baby
sister, or they would be in big trouble.
“There’s nothing in your mind other than work.”
Matthew was immediately chided by Arthur when he got home. He was used to it, so he didn’t even
look up when he heard that. “You dropped your cane, Grandpa.”
Hesper looked at them gleefully, then picked the cane up. Being stuck in the middle, she felt a little
helpless. “You two keep arguing every time you meet. It’s Grandpa’s birthday tomorrow, Matt. Can’t you NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
just let him win this time?”
“I don’t need him to do that.” Arthur was annoyed. Matthew walked over and gave her a ‘he started it’
look, then sat next to her.
Hesper didn’t know what to do, so she just sat there as if she was transparent.
It was Arthur’s birthday the next day, so Hesper and Matthew stayed in their own rooms in the family
home. They didn’t stay there usually because the office was far away. Only those who had nothing
better to do like Helen and Theodore would stay here.
“I wonder if Shawn will show up for Grandpa’s birthday tomorrow.”
Theodore never officially got married or had any children. If it wasn’t because of Shawn, that
illegitimate child of his, Hesper would think that he just wanted to be a bachelor forever.
Matthew suddenly remembered that he sent someone to investigate Shawn Lane, so he said, “Even
though Shawn is illegitimate, his mother wasn’t a nobody. She was a famous singer named Yolanda
Chisholm.”
“Yolanda Chisholm?” Hesper raised her brows. “She really was famous. I don’t pay a lot of attention to
the entertainment industry, but I still know that she was one of the top signers.”
However, families that were like the Lanes looked down on people in the entertainment industry. They
were conservative and would call them ‘performers’. They still looked down on people based on their
jobs in this era.
“Great-grandpa was very much against their relationship, but after Yolanda passed because of a
sickness, Uncle Theo never got married,” Matthew explained. “This was a taboo in the family, so we
never mentioned it before this.”
Hesper nodded.
“I guess Uncle Theo really loved the only son that he had with his lover. Shawn.” Hesper thought about
it, then continued. “Uncle Theo looked pretty friendly. I guess it was a coincidence.”
“We’ll see what Hesper thinks.”
