Chapter 122
Rickard looked extremely confused.
‘Hesper is destitute? From where did he get this hearsay?’
Seeing that Ernest’s expression did not look good, Rickard quickly explained himself before a third kick
could come. “It’s not that I don’t want to give her anything. I did try to give her money twice before, but
she refused to accept it.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Huh? What about…” Ernest’s expression turned a little more lenient. He turned around and asked his
great-grandson, “What’s going on here?”
Renfrew continued to comment innocently. “Mommy has a very strong personality. Perhaps she doesn’t
want Daddy to look down on her.”
“Hmm. That makes sense!” Ernest thought so too. He waved his hand, forcing Rickard to sign a check
that was worth $3 million, and shoved it into Renfrew’s little golden piggy bank….
The next day, Hesper went to the Wight Manor to attend the banquet.
“You’re finally here.” Juniper was waiting for her by the door.
Seeing that her honored guest was finally more formally dressed, barring the veil that continued to
cover her face, Juniper did not say much and pulled her in immediately. “I’ll say this, there are several
famous socialites who want to get to know you. You should exaggerate your value and not make a fool
out of me. Got it?”
Hesper, finding the situation funny, didn’t say a word.
After entering the banquet hall, she saw several familiar faces, including Julie and Sophia’s.
Seeing this, Hesper realized that it was impossible for Rickard to ground Sophia for the rest of her life.
It was reasonable for them to be here when the Wights were holding a banquet.
“Juni, is this the miraculous doctor who cured you? Why is she wearing a veil?” Julie’s gaze landed on
Hesper.
Lacking the arrogance and sarcasm that Hesper usually received when facing her, Julie looked and
behaved very much like the matriarch of a wealthy family.
From the side, Juniper said, “Madam Duval, you might not know about this, but since she’s a medical
genius, it’s only natural for her to not want to reveal her true appearance so easily. Based solely on her
ability to cure diseases and save lives, she’s far superior to the group of doctors. from the hospitals
who only care about fame.”
Julie had seen how Juniper’s face looked with her own eyes, so she could not help but admire this
doctor’s medical skills too and said very kindly, “That’s right. I wonder what other kinds of disease she
could treat. Doctor, could you maybe give me a quick checkup later?”
“Madam Duval, let’s talk about this later.” Juniper did not know what else she knew, so she immediately
interrupted the conversation for fear of revealing her secrets. “Oh yeah, why didn’t Rickard come? I
invited him too, didn’t I?”
“He… A pregnant awkwardness flashed across Julie’s face. They had pulled every trick available at
their disposal to try to convince him to accompany them when they were departing from the residence,
but Rickard had refused to come. In the end, they ran out of things to say, so Julie had to bring just
Sophia to the banquet.
Wanting to maintain the Duvals’ relationship with the Wights, Julie decided she could not tell the truth
and instead came up with a random excuse. “It’s all because of that b*tch, Hesper. She used Renfrew
as an excuse to force Rickard to go to her place to see her and his son again!”
“What? He went to see Hesper?” Juniper bit her lips. The new and old grudges that she held against
Hesper surged from the bottom of her heart and intertwined, and a ferocious expression appeared on
her face. “It’s that b*tch again? I knew she would only turn to such wicked means to seduce Rickard!
Wait until I’ve fully recovered, then we’ll see how I deal with her once I have some time on my hands!”
Hearing this, Hesper stopped pretending and took off the veil to reveal her true identity. “Are you talking
about me, Ms. Wight?”
“You-What are you doing here?” Juniper’s eyes widened in shock.
‘I don’t remember inviting Hesper, so how could she be here?’
“Ms. Wight, have you forgotten? You’re the one who paid me $700,000 and asked me to show up at
this banquet. How could you forget already?”
