At that time, Hesper was walking among the crowd in a neat formal suit, and no matter where she
went, everyone around her would congratulate her.
“Congratulations, Ms. Lane.”
“Thank you.”
She thanked everyone politely and was about to leave the scene to cascade orders to her employees,
but just as she was turning around, Juniper rushed up to her and stood in front of her with intense
resentment flashing across her pretty face.
“I didn’t expect you to really become the person in charge of the Lane Holdings’ branch office. Tsk tsk
tsk, it’s really hard for us ordinary people to not admire your connection.”
“It isn’t any of your business, is it?” Hesper did not want to talk to her and wanted to leave, but Juniper
clung to her tightly.
“What? Are you scared? Are you afraid that I’ll speak up in front of everyone present just like what you
did the other day?”
“I haven’t done anything shady, so what’s there to be afraid of?” She flaunted patiently, and her gaze
turned cold. If it was not for the fact that she was worried that it would ruin the opening ceremony, she
would have summoned the guards to chase her away.
However, Juniper pushed forward. “If you’re not afraid, why leave in such a hurry? Why won’t you’ have
Ads by PubFuture a good chat with me?”
“Do I look like I have the time to talk to you?” People around were already looking in their direction, so Hesper covertly exerted force, trying to break
free, but Juniper’s grip became even tighter.
At this moment, a tall figure approached both of them, and Rickard separated Hesper from Juniper
calmly. “Are you alright?”
The words were directed at Hesper, and Juniper’s eyes turned bloodshot instantly.
But before she had the time to feel sad, Rickard’s warning had already escaped his mouth. “Ms. Wight,
this isn’t an occasion where you can mess around. I hope you know your place and behave.”
“I didn’t even do anything to her. Is there really a need for you to protect her to this extent?!”
His reproachful tone hurt Juniper deep down.
‘Is it not enough for him to reject me? Why must he show his affection for another woman in front of
me? Has he ever taken my feelings into consideration?’
“Hesper, I’m still waiting for that moment to come. I’ll be there to witness if you can be the person in
charge of this place securely for long!” She left a harsh message, turned around, and disappeared into
the crowd.
For some reason, Hesper felt uneasy when she saw her turning away as if something was bound to
happen today.
“Are you okay?” Rickard’s voice sounded right next to her.

After a brief pause, she reluctantly said, “Thank you for what you just did.”
Rickard raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. “I thought all you feel toward me is resentment.” “This is different. The grievances that exist between us will never be offset, but if you didn’t show up in
time just now, I’m not sure how much longer until she stopped pestering me, so I should still thank
you.”
Hesper did not want to continue speaking to him, so she told him to help himself to the banquet before
she left to attend to her own affairs.
In the center of the crowd, Rickard was still staring at her quietly as emotions that were
incomprehensible to others flickered in his eyes.
Soon, the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended smoothly
Hesper’s uneasy heart relaxed a little, and the press conference session started as the following
program.
At the entrance of Lanes’ Tower, she looked around with a cunning smile. All the reporters had been
arranged to be here in advance. They were only there for show and would write something good about
Lanes Holdings later.
Suddenly–
“Ms. Lane, you said that you’re the youngest daughter of the Lanes, but according to reliable sources,
some people say that you’re the ex-wife of Mr. Rickard Duval, the president of the Duval Group. Is this
rumor true?”
