Seeing this, the sparks of anger at the bottom of Yohanna’s heart lit up completely.
‘If the person who came over today weren’t Hesper, but another unlucky neighbor of ours who, like me,
would take the fall only to resolve the dispute, Aunt Chapelain might’ve gotten away with today’s
matter. I’d never know why Gabriel had fallen ill in the first place! And perhaps this kind of issue has
happened countless times before this, and I’ve been so naïve, thinking that Aunt Chapelain has been
taking good care of Gabriel,”
He had only come back for a short while, so Jean, who had not figured out the ins and outs of the
whole ruckus, had been listening quietly by the side without uttering a single word. At this time, all he
could do was silently pat his wife on the back lightly as if comforting her.
Seeing that Gabriel’s condition was getting better over time, and it was already getting late, Hesper
picked up the drowsy Renfrew and got ready to head home.
The man who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke. “Ms. Rivera.”
Hesper was a little surprised, while Yohanna gazed at her from within her husband’s arms.
“Thank you for everything tonight. I thank you on behalf of our family,” the man said, standing right in
front of her–
‘He doesn’t look like a manager who works in a tiny company from 9 to 5 every day for a moderate
salary like Yohanna told me before. He looks more like a trader who’s used to dealing with the big shots
out there in this ferocious world.’
The sudden perception and realization stunned Hesper for a moment, but it could be seen that Jean
loved his wife and son very much, so perhaps what she felt was just an illusion….
“Don’t worry about it. If Eloise hadn’t pointed her fingers at Renfrew, I wouldn’t even have cared to get
into a fight with her.” Hesper picked Renfrew up and said softly, “It’s already rather late, I have to bring
Renfrew back and tuck him into bed.”

The netizen’s enthusiasm about Lane Holdings’ fashion competition had reached an unprecedented
peak. The things that needed to be dealt with had almost all been dealt with, and
all there was left to do was wait for the heat to bring in revenue.
Taking advantage of her free time, Hesper just so happened to have to make a trip back to college.
Not long after entering the campus, she ran into Jessie. Just as she was about to wave, Jessie trotted
over, ignoring the paint on her hand, and karate-chopped her.
Hesper was caught off guard.
“Holy sh*t, Hesper Rivera! You’re the long-lost daughter of the Lanes! This is such a huge piece of
news and you didn’t even tell me?!”
Jessie clamped Hesper’s neck in her arms. “Do you know how embarrassed I was when I saw the
news? It feels like I’m friends with the richest woman in the world. It feels as if someone who
never buys lottery tickets had a hunch on a random day, bought a ticket for himself and ended up
winning $10 million.”
‘Such a vivid metaphor could only come out of the legendary Jessie Jenkins.”
“I’m sorry.” Hesper felt a little helpless. “I didn’t think too much about it before. I only wanted to study at
Genecity University peacefully and not attract any trouble, but I didn’t expect the news to be exposed in
advance in the end.”
“Is this what you’ve been worried about all this while?” Jessie patted Hesper on the shoulder.” Then I
shall congratulate you. From today onwards, you can leave your thoughts of having at peaceful life at
school behind for good. In the past two days, countless juniors have come to me. with cakes and
coffee, asking me for your contact number. It’s taken me all the willpower I’ve accumulated over 25
years of being single to resist those temptations.”
Hesper smiled, turned around, and looked into Jessie’s eyes. “So, would you like to have a cup of
coffee with me first, Gorgeous Ms. Jessie Jenkins?”
