Chapter 489Julian walked over with a complicated expression donning his face.
“Do you sit here every day to monitor Hesper?”
Rickard turned around. The emotions that were at the depth of his gaze were unreadable. “That’s none
of your business. Has Hesper come back? She should be off work by now.”
Julian was silent for a moment before saying, “She just called and said she needed to call off the
treatment tonight because something came up.”
“Okay,” Rickard replied flatly.
Julian did not move either and continued to stand behind Rickard, staring at him.
“What kind of deal do you have with Daybreak, or should I say Riley?” Rickard asked.
Julian clenched the knife in his hand, and his whole body trembled when he heard the question.
Although Rickard was facing away from him, Julian felt as if he was being watched, as if all Rickard
could see through all of his moves.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he replied.

Julian took the chance to get away.
Mrs. Potter could see that Julian, who had just moved in, did not go along very well with Rickard, and
the main reason was due to Hesper.
“You should take the medicine first. Your cold hasn’t completely gone away yet,” Mrs. Potter said.Rickard nodded and calmly drank the medicine. “Help me check if there’s a nearby flower shop that
sells roses that are easy to care for.”
“Huh?” Mrs. Potter was stunned for a moment. After realizing that she was being unprofessional, she
cleared her throat and said, “Okay, I’ll check right away. I’ll give you an update tomorrow morning at the
latest.”
To prevent Rickard from climbing over the wall to switch out the flowers again in the middle of the night,
Mrs. Potter was determined to find a rose that was easy to take care of.

Returning to Elise’s house again, Hesper seemed to have a higher level of clearance than last time.

her. Upon seeing Hesper, Elise’s eyes brightened.
“Hesper, come here quickly.”
Hesper walked over hesitantly and noticed that there was a small case in Elise’s hand.
“Mrs. Lanning…”
“Call me Aunt Elise,” Elise said, correcting Hesper. She dragged Hesper’s hand and gave the case to
her. “Open it up and see if you like it.”
Hesper took the case and asked hesitantly, “It’s for me?”
Although this was not the first time she received a gift from her client, she had not even started on
Elise’s dress yet, so it was inappropriate for her to take her gift.Elise smiled brightly and said, “You should try it on. My husband went to an auction house the other
day and saw this. When I heard the introduction, I felt that it was particularly suitable for you, so I asked
him to buy it.”
Since Elise had already told her how they got this for her, Hesper felt it would be inappropriate for her
to reject the gift. She opened the case and found a bracelet lying inside. There were several blue
gemstones embellished on it, and it looked like the sea under the starry sky.
Both the quality of the gemstones and the design of this bracelet were far superior than the bracelet
that Juniper had bought before.
