Chapter 214Chapter 214
After Hesper arrived home, she told everything that happened to Isaac and Renee.
“I thought he wouldn’t try again after failing the first time.” Isaac was a simple man. He thought that the
man gave up after so long.
“Keep an eye on Juniper. I think this has something to do with her.”
Hesper rubbed her temples when she thought about Juniper.
Renee said, “Juniper pushed her mother when she left home today, giving Mrs. Wights a concussion.
She has been admitted to the hospital.”
“Hah…” Hesper chuckled because she wasn’t surprised. Juniper was someone who would do that; she
knew better than anyone else. “Let the media talk about this. I can’t be bothered about her recently, but
I also can’t stand seeing her prancing around.”
“Alright.”
novelbinAfter what happened that night, Hesper was tired. She didn’t know why but she remembered her phone
call with Seth Tucker. The man said that they’d met before and would meet again.
What did that mean?
Hesper fell asleep. Meanwhile, Juniper picked up her clothes in her room, not knowing how she ended
up
like this. “Juni…”
The familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind her. She remembered what happened in that room
a while ago and was disgusted.
After the man who said he was the deputy director of Apple Station left, Juniper felt unwell, so she
wanted to leave but was surrounded by a group of men.
She made a splash that night. Juniper had always been in the limelight in Genecity, but she was
protected by Rickard in the past. Even if she said something that offended someone or attracted
people’s attention because she was too flashy, people wouldn’t do anything to her out of respect for
Rickard.
It was different now. Rickard had severed ties with her during the auction.
Juniper tried to run away. Mrs. Wight wasn’t there, so no one could help her!
However, how could she outrun a group of people? She was soon caught, and as looked at Carter
Wilson, the leader of the group, she knew that it was going to be the end of her. Ever since their
schooling days, Carter had always wanted to pursue her, but it ended when she entered a relationship
with Rickard.
However, every time they met, Juniper could feel his eyes on her and she never felt safe.
Carter stepped forward, and as he watched her anxiously put on her clothes, he chuckled and grabbed
her. “My dear Juni… After being with Rickard for so long, I didn’t expect…”
He chuckled drily. “I’m going to treat you right so we won’t get tired of each other so soon.”
Juniper was so upset that her body shook. “Rickard isn’t going to let you get away with this!” Carter laughed out loud after hearing that and touched her face. “Ms. Wight, do you think you still have
the same status as before? Everyone could tell that Ms. Lane and Mr. Duval have a thing going on and
they might even get remarried. As for you… you’re just someone that he grew tired of.”
That was a stab in Juniper’s heart. She started fighting back but got a slap in return.
“You best get used to the new reality. You’ll be fine with me. What am I lacking?”
The Wilsons were one of the most powerful families in Genecity. Even though they were slightly lesser
than the Duvals, they weren’t too far behind. However, Carter always lived under Rickard’s shadow and
never had his chance to shine.
