Chapter 572
Seeing Hesper’s expression, Howard knew that Hesper was still a little angry. He looked around again
to make sure there was no one else then said in a low voice, "In fact, everyone received some form of
favors from you back then, Ms. Lane. That’s why all of us treated you like we would our own juniors...
However, Ms. Rachael told us not to be too hospitable to you whenever we see you.
"Yesterday, I was getting ready to drive to the airport to pick you up, but Ms. Rachael suddenly called
me and asked me to come to the downtown shopping mall to help her buy something. This kind of
errand has always been done by other servants, not me."
Howard did not elaborate more; he had already told Hesper all she needed to know. She naturally
connected all the dots.
Hesper already knew that Rachael did not like her, but she did not expect her to be such a two-faced
and cunning person.
‘If I hadn't run into Mr. Lindberg today, I don’t know how much longer this misunderstanding would last.’
Howard sighed. "It definitely isn't easy for you to continue to stay in the Lanes. When you used to stay
here, you never treated us like servants. All of us remember that, so seeing you get wronged left, right,
and center really makes us feel bad."
Hesper was indeed feeling a little disappointed at first, but after hearing Howard’s explanation, these
emotions were resolved very easily. In fact, how Rachael treated her could never hurt her at all.
These were petty tricks played by kids, too childish for Hesper.
"I’m fine. I understand now. Thank you, Mr. Lindberg, for telling me this." The corners of Hesper’s eyes
narrowed as her lips widened.
Howard sighed guiltily, but he could also see that Hesper was not saddened by his actions anymore.
Rachael and Hesper were completely different people. Howard knew that he was not in the position of
commenting on the affairs of his employer’s family, but seeing Hesper getting wronged from the side,
most of the servants really felt bad for her but had no place to vent their dissatisfaction.
"Then I’ll go first. There are still things waiting for me over there."
Hesper nodded, and Howard turned around and left. After that, Hesper fell into deep thought.
‘If this is the case, Rachael will put more trouble in my way from the shadows in the future. I have to
find an opportunity to have a good chat with her.’
...
Returning to her previous room, Hesper changed into some more casual clothes and realized that it
was time for breakfast.
When she came out, she saw Matthew walking out too.
Matthew looked at Hesper, who seemed emotionally stable.
‘It seems that she and Grandpa talked about a lot of things last night.’ Matthew breathed a sigh of
relief.
Hesper immediately asked, "Have you found anything special while investigating Nathaniel?"
"...Yes." As soon as Nathaniel was brought up, the muscles on Matthew’s face stiffened. "Let’s talk
about this matter in Grandpa’s study later. For now, we should go down and eat."
Hesper did not ask any further questions. In the morning, the kitchen crew made winter crab ravioli
served in a seafood broth, which was Hesper’s favorite food.
Rachael wouldn't get out of bed around this time, so the two of them enjoyed the breakfast in peace. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
While eating, Hesper paused for a split second then brought up what Howard had told her earlier. "I
don’t want to speak ill of Rachael. I'm only bringing this up to you because I feel like there aren't many
twists and turns between us."
Matthew of course knew exactly what kind of person Hesper was, so he sighed.
