Juniper’s pupils constricted, and she finally came to her senses. “It’s you… You’re that medical
genius?!”
“How about it? Since you’ve recovered, don’t you think I’m good?” Hesper had a smirk on her face that From NôvelDrama.Org.
could provoke anyone. Juniper was so exasperated that her expression changed drastically.
‘I never would have guessed that the doctor who treated me was that b*tch, Hesper Rivera! And I
actually paid her such a high reward!’
After realizing that she had been tricked, Juniper said angrily, “It turns out that you’ve been playing
tricks on me from the very beginning. Did you force me to take those black pills on purpose?!”
“It seems that you’re not as dumb as you look. You’ve got it all figured out.” Hesper sneered, not hiding
her mockery in the slightest.
Juniper, already having lost her cool, was about to hit Hesper. “You b*tch! We’ll see if I’ll beat you to
death right here, right now!”
“Ms. Wight, are you sure you want to make a move on me right here and now?” Hesper did not even try
to dodge or evade her strike, showing no signs of fear, sneering instead. “If I were you, I wouldn’t do
this at the banquet I’m hosting. Aren’t you afraid of becoming the laughingstock of the people of
Genecity? Plus, since I’m here, don’t you want to know where exactly Rickard is right
now?”
Juniper stopped moving instantly.
‘That’s right. If Hesper is here, then where is Rickard? Didn’t Madam Duval say that he was called
away by Hesper?’
“Madam Duval, don’t you think you have some explaining to do?”
“Geez, Juni, don’t listen to this b*tch. Why would I lie to you?” Julie quickly explained. “Rickard really
was called away by her early in the morning, he claimed that he was heading to her place because
Renfrew wasn’t feeling well. Otherwise, why would Rickard not want to come and see
you?”
After being fooled left and right, Juniper had also become suspicious. “Is that so?”
Hesper tilted her head and scoffed mockingly. “Madam Duval, if I were in your shoes, I would have
thoroughly done my research first before coming up with a lie. Are you sure that I called Rickard
away?”
“I…” Seeing that she sounded so firm when she made the statement, Julie dared not speak up.
‘If she were to somehow prove her statement, wouldn’t my reply turn into another smack in the face
later on?’
Now that she knew everyone was taking her for a fool, Juniper could not take it anymore. “Madam
Duval, where exactly is Rickard?!”
“Don’t worry, I… I know where he is….” Julie had no choice but to tell the truth.
Juniper was furious. She gnashed her teeth and glared at the mother and daughter. “You keep telling
me that you’ll find a way to make a match out of the two of us. Is this your way of making things work?”
Frightened by her rage, Julie subconsciously took two steps backward.
Sophia, unable to stand it anymore, stepped forward to defend themselves. “Juni, how can you be so
rude to my mother? She had good intention, didn’t she? If my brother doesn’t want to come, we can’t
just tie him up and force him to come. She only lied to you because she didn’t want to hurt. your
feelings.”
“Good intentions? Do you really think I’m dumb?” Juniper had had enough.
‘When I was hurt and disfigured, the two of them only came by once, and now they’re trying to deceive
me? They’ve never thought of me as family!’
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more stalemate, Hesper, who had been watching
from the sidelines all along, shouted out of the blue, “Oh my God, no, the young lady of the Duvals and
Ms. Wight are fighting each other! Madam Duval even got beaten too!”
With this sudden wail, all the people at the banquet were startled and rushed over in unison. Hesper
took the opportunity to leave the scene, letting them go at each other!
