But nobody knew if he was speaking the truth or not….
Hesper was still thinking that she was not able to track down the person who provided the blogger with
the photos, but Michelle was so terrified that she actually blew her own cover.
“What about the information that you disclosed to the media? You told them about my marriage. and
divorce from years ago.” Hesper looked expressionless, which made it difficult for Michelle to figure out
her emotion. However, Michelle was astonished after hearing her question, and her expression
changed slightly.
“It’s Juniper Wight! Juniper is the person who told me that!”
Michelle had been busy worrying about so many things and had forgotten about the person who told
her the half-truth.
‘It was Juniper! She’s the one who told me about Hesper’s past, where she dropped out of school to
get married and got divorced later on in life. If it weren’t for this, I’d never have been able to get
to know these secrets of hers.
Juniper must know Hesper’s true identity, but she actually didn’t tell me about it and chose to use me to
spread rumors about Hesper and go against her.”
Thinking of this, Michelle arrived at a lightbulb moment. Anger and annoyance flashed across her face
instantly.
‘I trusted Juniper so much before this and told her everything. And Hesper actually tried to warn me not
to be used by Juniper, but I got convinced again with only a few lines of sweet-talking from Juniper.”
“Just as I thought.” Hesper sneered.
‘There’s only a handful of people who know about what happened to me in the past, and no matter how
much the Duvals and Rickard dislike me, they, at the very least, understand that they shouldn’t be
publicizing this truth about their family’s past, as it would only ruin the family’s reputation in Genecity, so
not many people in this city know about my life experiences.
Zikmund has quite a close relationship with Rickard, so he should know about me, and a though he’s a
playboy who does nothing all day long apart from fooling around, he’d never spread rumors about
Rickard so casually. So, it’s not that difficult to link everything to Juniper. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
‘However, even though Michelle got used by Juniper, it’s obvious that whatever was going on in this
pea brain of hers isn’t anything righteous. At that time, after such news broke out, if I weren’t the long-
lost daughter of the Lanes, I would’ve been crucified by the public, boycotted, and lost all opportunity in
the design industry.
‘It’s not that Michelle doesn’t know anything. She knows everything better than anyone else because all
she has wanted all this while has been to ruin me. It’s just that she’s failed to do so, and now she can
only act pitifully in front of me.’
Seeing that Hesper did not utter a single word, Michelle wanted to say something anxiously, but she did
not know what to say.
‘I’ve done so many bady things to Hesper, so which one should I start with…?”
At this moment, the door of the room opened all of a sudden, and Celine stood in the doorway with her
luggage, staring at Hesper and Michelle in bewilderment.
“What are you guys doing?”
Michelle was foredoomed to return without achieving anything this time around since Hesper had
no intention of forgiving her at all. After all, she was not the only one who got affected by the news;
Professor Jenkins suffered too. And she was not in any position to forgive Michelle on Professor
Jenkins’ behalf.
At the end of the day, Michelle was still someone who would target the weak and fear the strong. If
Hesper had not had a higher status than she did, it would be impossible for her to get an apology from
Michelle in this life.
Celine came very late again today. Her arrival time had been rather inconsistent, and Hesper had
already gotten used to it.
“I’m sorry. My mother is home alone, so I sometimes have to settle her down and coax her for a bit first,
or else she just won’t let me come out.” Celine felt helpless while she unpacked her personal
belongings and put them away. “It just happened again this morning. I already told her last night that I
have to go out for work in the morning and that she can’t disturb me for a few days, but she’d forgotten
about it when we got up this morning.”
Celine seldom talked so much, and as she listened to Celine’s explanation, Hesper recalled the
emotions that she poured into the dress that she designed for the competition surrounding the theme
“Mother”. She said thoughtfully, “You do love your mother very much.”
