Chapter 531″Wow, you’re so kind, Ms. Rivera!” Jessie smiled, throwing in some flattery.
Hesper smiled then remembered something. “One more thing.”
“What?”
“You mentioned there was something you wanted to tell me when we met.”
“Yes…” Jessie uncharacteristically became quiet. She pressed her fingers together and looked at
Hesper with eager eyes. “Can I not tell you yet?”
Hesper sighed. “Tell me if you want to, or don’t. But if you come across any problem that you can’t
solve, come to me.”
“Alright!”

Renee soon got news about Jean Yates. They were completely off the mark.
“He works with Carter Wilson?” Hesper frowned as she read what Renee sent over.
The document had a clear timeline that showed that Jean used to work for Nathaniel, but then he raked
up a huge debt and went to Genecity, where Carter cleared his debt for him and took him under his
wing.
Hesper sighed with relief when she read that. She was glad it wasn’t Nathaniel, or she wouldn’t know
how to face him.”If it’s Carter, we don’t have to be cautious about it,” Hesper said. “His wife and children are innocent,
so I don’t want to drag them into this. I’ll let you handle this.”

Hesper looked up and noticed that. “Just say what you want to. There’s nothing to hide between us.”
“…I think you should take a good rest.”
Ever since Hesper returned from Fredonia, she never had a good rest. All kinds of issues piled up and
she knew that Renee saw her as family, caring about her.
Hesper sighed again, touched.
“Even though I am tired, for future stability, I have to bear with it.”
Renee always thought how nice it would be if Hesper was just a normal person. She wouldn’t have to
worry about all kinds of things and keep a constant frown. However, when she thought about that, that
would mean that Hesper wouldn’t be Hesper anymore.
“I’ve asked Jessie to help me at the studio, so she’ll take some of the work off your shoulders in a few
days,” Hesper said. “There’s also something else I need your help with.”
“Alright.”
