A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 314

Jessie did not hesitate and ordered a cup of coffee that she thought would be exceptionally. delicious

but was too expensive for her before.

“Although it looks delicious, it’s just a cup of coffee. This is so not necessary!”

Recalling Jessie’s righteous statement from the past, Hesper could not help but feel helpless. She

queued right behind Jessie, paid for the coffee, and then sat down in a corner with Jessie.

Jessie thought she was a little dumb and naïve when she gave the whole thing a deeper thought.

‘Hesper was able to get married to Rickard Duval, so how could she just be a girl from an ordinary

family? Now that I think about it, although Hesper was very low-key when she was studying with. us

four years ago, she was never short of money.

‘Four years ago, none of our purchasing power was as good as it is now. My monthly living. expenses

were not low at that time either, and I wasn’t at the standard where I could buy whatever I wanted–”

“That’s because I used to work part-time secretly.” Hesper, seeing Jessie’s confused expression, knew

what was on her mind and explained helplessly, “The Lanes only found me three years ago… I was

indeed an orphan back then. It was Rickard’s grandfather who adopted me from the orphanage when I

was still a kid, took me into the Duvals, and raised me all these years.”

“Oh yeah…” In the past few days, the public’s attention had been so focused on the fact that Hesper

was the long-lost daughter of the Lanes that even Jessie had forgotten that Hesper once told her that

she was an orphan.

“But isn’t this fate? I heard that the Lanes are currently in a business war with the Duvals. Is that

true?”

Hesper’s iced coffee was served sooner. She then took a sip and nodded. “I’m now in charge of some

of Lane Holdings’ business activities in Genecity. Apart from being at school, I’m also

working in the company too, which is why I’m so busy.”

Jessie’s eyes widened.

‘So when Hesper told everyone about her “tiny business” during our class reunion, she was. referring to

the enormous Lane Holdings? Can the deviation be even more colossal than that?!

‘It’s no wonder no one ever thought that Hesper’s family background would be this prominent. In all

fairness, Hesper has never shown up on any occasion, acting like the daughter of a wealthy. family.

She also doesn’t show off what she owns. She’s managing a multinational company like. Lane

Holdings in Genecity, but it got turned into “a small business” when she explained it to us the other

day.’

Jessie knocked her own forehead with her knuckle and said after a while, “How can you be so magical

and mysterious all the time? Hesper Rivera, it seems I really lack imagination when I’m by your side…”

“Oh really?” Hesper put down the cup in her hand, sighed, and looked outside the window of the cafe.

The cafe was a building made out of glass, and sunlight could easily shine through the window. and

into the open space right beside Hesper. She lowered her head and murmured, “I wish that everything

could have stayed ordinary and as it was back then, and nothing ever happened.”

Hesper then went to see Professor Jenkins. He sorted out the deficiencies that she had shown.

throughout the tournament and explained them to her. Hesper listened to everything he said and

thanked him gratefully. “Thank you, Professor Jenkins, I would have made those mistakes again in the

next round if it weren’t for you.”

“Alright, just do your best.” Xavier waved his hand. “The only issue with you is you don’t have any

intention to fight for things in life. I was most afraid that you’d act like this during the competition. Thank

God that you’ve performed well in the recent few rounds.”

Hesper was relieved when she heard what Xavier had to say. “I was worried that I was not doing. well

enough.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“You’ve been doing good enough. Please don’t tell me that you plan to use what you’ve learned in

these two and a half days to go against people who have done years of research and studies,” Xavier

responded bluntly. “You might be a talented seed in the fashion design field, but you’re not the only

one. So remember to always stay humble and learn as you move on. That’s the only secret that’ll help

you go further in this career.”

“Yes.” Hesper agreed.

The two of them then went on to discuss the possible routines that the organizer might take in the next

round of the competition. Xavier had gone through Hesper’s latest manuscripts and was just amazed at

the speed of the progression that she had been making.

In fact, when Hesper came back to resume her studies in college, Xavier had not thought very highly of

her.
