Chapter 205
Before Hesper had the time to say anything, beeping sounds started to ring in her ear, signaling the
end of
the call.
‘If Seth slipped his business card to me secretly, it means that he doesn’t want Nathaniel to know
about
this.’
Hesper was forced to listen to those incomprehensible words and felt that the matter was getting more
and more dubious. Nathaniel was most likely to know something about this, but Hesper had an
inexplicable intuition deep down.
‘I guess I shouldn’t ask Nathaniel about this matter first, at least not now.’
Letting go of her doubts for the time, Hesper reminded herself not to think about those complicated
matters.
‘The most urgent task on my hands at the moment is to make it impossible for Duval Group to recover,
and then get Renfrew’s custody back, and lastly, make sure that Lane Holdings settles down in
Genecity smoothly. There are still too many things to focus on, so I have no time to think about all
these illusory affairs.’
Hesper put her phone down, and her fingertip landed on the news that she had just gone through.
Juniper’s name was impressively edited in the title of the news, so Hesper tapped on it. Juniper, whose
face had fully recovered, was wearing a slim-fit suit and smiling brilliantly in front of the camera.
‘Juniper Wight… It seems that she hasn’t appeared in front of the public for a long time.’
It was not hard to see that ever since Juniper made full recovery, she had gone back to her previous
job again, and she looked so proud of herself that it seemed she had almost forgotten about Hesper’s
existence. But Hesper still remembered the time when someone tried to harm her in Salt City.
Later on, Renee sent many men out there to investigate the young man who had a mole under his right
eye, but they had found nothing so far. Salt City was covered in chaos during that time, so it was
impossible to find witnesses who saw what happened,
Moreover, all the surveillance facilities in Salt City had also been destroyed at that time, so it was not
difficult for the killer to deliberately avoid the cameras. In addition to that, the other party was also very
experienced in this matter and did not leave any traces behind.
At the end of the day, the characteristic of having a mole was still too indistinct, so trying to find the
murderer based solely on this characteristic was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
However, even though the killer had not been caught, Hesper still had a feeling that this person must
have been hired by Juniper.
“Juniper Wight…” Hesper tapped on Juniper’s smiling face on the phone, and a trace of disgust flashed
across her eyes. “It doesn’t matter whether you were behind it or not. The most important thing is that
I’m not feeling too happy recently. So why not take some time to polish up my skills with you?”
Juniper was looking at her new evening gown in the mirror.
‘Ever since I was poisoned by Hesper, I haven’t attended any banquet ever. It’s been too long. And let’s
not forget how that b*tch Hesper caused me to lose face the last time I had a chance to go to a
banquet. That’s why I have to stand out among all the female guests this time around. I have to show
off my
beauty so that I can impress Rickard and make him change his mind.”
Ariana looked at Juniper from the doorway and sighed faintly. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

In the past, my Juniper was proud and beautiful, and even though she could be a little arrogant at
times, she was kind deep down. I don’t know when it started, but I feel like I don’t know my daughter so
well
anymore.’
Juniper had already seen Ariana in the mirror. Recalling all the previous clashes that she had had with
Hesper before this, Juniper felt rather aggrieved.
‘Hesper is the one who stole the man who originally belonged to me, so why would my own mother talk
to me like how she did the other day?’
Thinking of this, Juniper turned around and coquettishly sashayed up to Ariana’s side. “Mom, do I look
good in this?”
Juniper’s dress was specially designed by a famous designer. Its sole purpose was to impress and
stun anyone that saw her in it.
