Chapter 130
When the crowd dispersed, Hesper turned around. “Matthew, why did you come here all of a sudden?
And you didn’t inform me in advance either.”
Tanner was the one who answered her question. “Mr. Lane was afraid that you might not be able to
handle today’s situation alone, so he shifted his schedule and deliberately rushed here to see you.”
Hesper could not be more moved.
Matthew had always been really kind to her, so kind that sometimes she felt that she was being treated
like his biological sister.
“Thanks, Matthew.”
Seeing that she was once again lost in her imagination and conjecture, Matthew flicked her forehead
with his fingers. “You should know by now who you are to me, and yet you’re still thanking me for such
a trivial matter.
“Hey, it hurts!” Hesper rubbed her forehead with a smile, and the two entered the Lanes’ Tower,
chuckling all the way in.
Seeing the two talking and laughing, Rickard’s eyes dimmed.
‘It turns out that she’s also capable of possessing such a lively and playful side. I thought she only
knew how to be indifferent and sarcastic.’
It was a pity that all that tenderness would only be showcased to another man!
“Mr. Duval, we’ve found the person. Do you want to deal with it yourself, or…?”
“Just leave it to her.”
Although he did not make it clear who the “her” was, Benji understood tactfully, though he was also a
little puzzled at the same time.
‘Everything was still fine just minutes ago. Why is he so upset now?’
However, he did not dare to ask questions and got into the car after dealing with the matter.
Rickard was feigning sleep with his eyes closed, but he was obviously absent-minded, and there was a
faint restlessness in the air.
Benji froze for a moment and asked tentatively, “Mr. Duval, are you angry about what happened just
now? Don’t worry, we’ve handed the reporter over to Ms. Lane. She’ll definitely teach him a lesson.”
Rickard suddenly opened his eyes. “Since when did you change the way you address her?”
Rickard’s direct glare awakened the hesitation in Benji’s heart. He understood what he was asking
almost instantly and responded truthfully. “About that… Ms. Lane said that she doesn’t want me to call
her the young lady anymore.”
Noticing that the man’s expression was not looking too happy, he immediately changed his tone.
I can still address her as the young lady in front of you if you want. Is that okay with you?”
“There’s no need for that!”
‘Since she doesn’t even want to be called that, why would I care about it?’
“Move, we’re going back to the company now.”
“Yes…”
After the car’s engine was ignited, someone’s expression remained tense.
There was a corner in Rickard’s heart that had been choked.
‘Others might not know this, but does she really think that I can’t see through it? It’s impossible for
Hesper to be related to the Lanes. Matthew only took her away back then as an act of kindness. But
seeing that they’re acting so close in the name of brother and sister, it’s… This is really frustrating.’
At the same time, back in Lane Holdings.
“Your office doesn’t look bad at all.” Matthew sat down on the couch. The large couch was several feet
wide, but it only made his body look even taller.
Just as Hesper was about to speak, Isaac brought a man into the office.
She did not even bother to lift her gaze and said calmly, “Since you’ve found the person, you can
decide how you want to interrogate him.”
“Yes. But…” Isaac hesitated to speak.
“What’s wrong?”
“Ms. Lane, Mr. Rickard Duval is the one who sent this man to us.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to remain stagnant for a moment. Hesper returned to normal only
after a few seconds. “Okay, that’s fine, you can leave now.”
As soon as Isaac left with the man, Hesper encountered Matthew’s complicated gaze.
“He’s treating you much better than before.”
“What’ll that do now?” Hesper sneered.
‘All the suffering that I went through won’t be erased just because of this tiny favor.’
