Hesper was indeed thinking about leaving early. Although there was a dinner party after the auction,
she had already gotten the business cards of the people that she wanted to know. She even got to
witness Rickard and Juniper’s epic fight scene live.
‘There’s nothing better than getting to go back and rest early.”
Hesper yawned, and through her teary eyes, she saw Rickard looking back at her. His gaze was filled
with complex emotions that could not be easily ignored.
However, she did not want to see his gaze, and she did not want to understand his emotions either.
Rickard looked away and then said, “What’s going to happen tonight has nothing to do with her, so it’s
better for her to leave early.”
Zikmund curled his lips, wondering when exactly Rickard started to possess the ability to rise above his
old self and the characteristic of self-sacrifice.
‘Love does make someone go blind.”
Sitting at the back, Juniper could clearly see all the tiny movements between the two. When she
thought about Rickard’s actions from just now, she could not help but feel aggrieved and furious.
As if sensing Juniper’s emotions, her cell phone vibrated all of a sudden. Juniper lowered her head and
took a glance at the notification. It was from one of the servants at home, saying that Madam Wight had
woken up with a slight concussion.
Believing that she was the one at fault for causing her mother’s injury, Juniper felt a little guilty, but she
really had to come today.
‘I’m right here, and both of them are still flirting with each other. Just imagine what would have
happened if I was not here at all!’
In fact, Juniper seemed to be thinking way too highly of herself, as no one actually cared about her at
all, but tonight’s main character would indeed be her.
Her phone vibrated again, and Juniper lowered her head irritably, only to see a black text message
bubble. Startled, she looked around subconsciously and then lowered her head again.
Quietly opening the dark web, Juniper saw the message that 013 sent her. She did not know whether
she should tap on it or not.
Since their last chat, 013 had not sent any messages to Juniper. She wanted to urge him for an update.

that, she also recalled that she had only paid him the deposit, and the full payment had not been made,
so she temporarily put the matter aside.
‘It’s just a small amount of money. It’s not worth dying for. But 013 actually just took the initiative to
contact me…? Will it offend him if I don’t read his message?’
Juniper struggled for a while before finally tapping on the notification bubble.
013: You’ve truly surprised me, Ms. Wight. You actually left your injured biological mother behind just
so you could show off at an event.
013: And don’t pretend that you didn’t see my messages. You’re not blind and I’m not dumb.
Reading these two texts, Juniper’s heart skipped a beat
‘Not only does this person know who I am, but he even knows what I’ve gone through today.’
Juniper raised her head subconsciously, wanting to see if there was any strange person watching her,
but looking around, she did not see any suspicious person.
Memory: How do you know who I am and what I’m doing?
In a corner where Juniper could not see, a teenager played with his bangs and walked past the
banquet hall. No one noticed that a person suddenly walked past.
The young man raised his head and took a glance at Hesper’s seat. Under the dim lights, the small
mole under his right eye was clearly visible.
013: I advise you to leave the hall now. Rickard has prepared a few surprises for you tonight.
Juniper quickly asked, and the teenager frowned impatiently.
‘Talking to idiots is really a pain in the *ss.”
013: If not for the fact that you’re still useful to me, I wouldn’t even disclose this piece of information to
you.
013: Believe it or not, Rickard already knows about what happened back then.
Hesper was staring at the empty seat in front of her in a daze but suddenly felt a jolt of chill shoot up
her spine as if someone was watching her from behind.
There are so many guests sitting behind me, but this feeling…”
