The rest of the journey was smooth and the group soon got to Salt
City.
There was heavy rain on top of the earthquake. Salt City was a
worrying sight.
Hesper handed the supplies to the association that was helping. The person in charge at Salt City was
already having a tough time because there was no way to prevent natural disasters, but since Salt City
wasn’t a big city, they didn’t know how many people were
displaced and it was difficult to ensure that there were enough basic
necessities to go around.
Hesper’s batch of supplies was a huge help.

“Ms. Lane, since you got here safely, we’ll be on our way.”

The people from Duval Group spoke to Hesper before leaving
because Rickard’s attitude toward her was unique. They might be a family soon!

Hesper was friendlier because they need to work together in the future so there was no point making
their relationship sour.
“This batch of supplies means so much to us. We’ll always remember Lane Holdings and Duval Group
for your assistance.” The person in charge heard about the newly appointed Ms. Lane, and when he
saw that she came alone, he didn’t want to put her on the spot, but he still
looked troubled.
Hesper noticed that he seem to have more to say, so she asked, “Do you need more help?”
“Sigh-” The man sighed and said, “The truth is, we’ve lost contact with the outer district. There are hills
there and I’m guessing that the
heavy rainfall caused a landslide. Our cars couldn’t reach them and we didn’t hear from them…”
The entire district losing contact was a huge problem and they couldn’t just let it be!
Hesper frowned.
This was an issue and she could tell. If they couldn’t contact the
outside world, it was obvious how much a trouble the outer district was in. An aftershock could happen
at any moment, so if they went over, they would be unprepared to handle anything that happened This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
there.
“Ms. Lane…”

Hesper was silent for a few seconds, then said, “Alright, I’ll go over
with some men.”
The man didn’t expect her to agree to that so easily, but he had to solve this big issue urgently. He
smiled. “I’ll remember this forever! I’ll be there if you need me in the future!”
Hesper didn’t do this to get anything in return. She did it because she felt sorry for them.
She didn’t agree to come here just because of what Wilfred said. Even though she was a
businesswoman, she didn’t want to turn into a cold business machine. If she had the chance to help,
she wouldn’t just
stand and watch.
Meanwhile, Benji looked toward Rickard who was subconsciously frowning, so he quickly walked over
and said, “The person who was in charge of delivering the supplies are back. He saw Ms. Lane there,
and the two convoys came back together.”
Rickard was still troubled, and when thunder struck, he suddenly
panicked.
“Are you sure that Hesper is back in Genecity?”
Benji didn’t speak because he didn’t know for sure.
Benji got up and looked out the window. All he saw were dark clouds that were flying low, hinting at a
heavy rain soon.
Benji’s phone suddenly rang. He looked at Rickard, then walked to the side to answer it. His expression
suddenly changed and he said loudly, “What? Ms. Lane went to the outer district with the supplies?”
The thunder struck again and Rickard’s face dropped.
“She’s crazy.”
Benji was still on the phone when he saw Rickard grabbing his coat off the rack and walking over. “Get
the car ready. We’re going to Salt City.”
“Sir?” Benji hung up and was hesitant. “Salt City is in shambles and an aftershock could happen at any
time. It’s very dangerous for you to go there now.”
“Get the car ready.” Rickard didn’t want to waste any time. Benji knew. that he wouldn’t be able to
change his mind but was still shocked by
his decision.
