love her mother, but she remembered that Hesper was an orphan, so she remained

later on in life.”
Speaking of the past, Celine became a little taciturn. “Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if I should
hate the world for what happened. Our family has encountered so many misfortunes throughout life,
and even though my father passed away very early on, we still worked extremely hard and tried to live
life to the fullest, but my family received another huge blow when my sister went missing years later.
“Since then, my mother’s mental state has been rather under the weather. She might sometimes
recognize me as my younger sister, but she can still go out of the house and hold conversations.
normally. It’s just that she can get a little confused at times.” Celine lowered her head. “But she’s been
struggling and deteriorating these past few years, she might not even recognize me from time to time.
“She might still smile at me and refer to me as Cece when she’s on the clearheaded side of things.
That’s already a blessing for me.”

when we were separated. I don’t have the ability and financial power to search for her all over the
world, so I can only hope that she grew up safely somewhere in the world. That’s already more than
what I can ask for.”
The fifth round did not go on for a long time as it was not a competition that required the participants to
design something over a long period of time; instead, it only took one morning.
Hesper’s ranking had been rather steady as she once again landed in the top three, and Celine was
not doing too bad as well. The thing that surprised the audience and spectators the most was that

dark horse of this tournament, instantly making him one of the most popular participants.
After returning to Genecity, Hesper did not go home straight away but drove directly to Seth’s
restaurant.
It was already the weekend, and it was time to meet with Seth. The last call came and ended in a hurry.
And when Hesper wanted to contact Seth again, all the calls and messages just went nowhere.
Seth gave Hesper a very enigmatic and dangerous feeling. Hesper kept feeling that their meeting that
day would not be a simple and direct one.
When she arrived at the restaurant, the doors were Indeed open. She had traveled there by herself. a
few times before this, but the restaurant was always closed as if the fact that she had eaten there was

Daybreak could be heard everywhere, yet it was still very mysterious. Rickard had been staying in the
hotel for a few days, but he still did not get any useful news.
Many people claimed that the leader of Daybreak knew everything because he was a walking
computer. There were no passwords that he could not crack or computers that he could not hack. in the
world. Hence, walking into Daybreak’s surveillance scope meant that everything one did would be
closely monitored by the organization.
If Daybreak did not send someone over to you, it meant that they were not interested in you.
Logically speaking, with Rickard’s identity and financial resources, he should not be disregarded in any
way. So even Benji could not figure it out, but the facts were placed right under his nose.
Through a Bluetooth headset, Benji’s voice sounded. “Sir, I’ve scanned your room and discovered. that
there are still three monitoring spots left. I’ve sent the specific locations to your cell phone.”
“This monitoring system probably doesn’t belong to the hotel itself. If I’m not mistaken, they were
planted there by Daybreak’s IT genius. All your actions have indeed been monitored by Daybreak.
since the very beginning.”
‘We’re only here looking for a doctor and still managed to bring up so many other issues.’
Following the illustration sent by Benji, Rickard destroyed the remaining three devices, sat down, and
went through the materials of unknown authenticity laying on the coffee table that they had obtained
through intensive investigations in the past few days.
