Chapter 1526″Hmph, that’s what you get for making fun of me!” Hertha rolled her eyes at him, spun around, and
dashed towards where her wig had fallen.
Contents belong to NovelDrama.OrgWithout the wig to hide behind, she felt more than just the chill on her scalp; her whole spine was
shivering. It was as if she was a clown being watched by everyone.
Thinking about it made her scalp feel even cooler and her embarrassment grew, prompting her to
quicken her steps towards her wig.
Alaric snapped out of his daze. Seeing Hertha go to pick up her wig, he quickly followed her.
Picking up the wig and dusting off the bits of grass sticking to it, Hertha couldn’t wait to put it back
on.
Just as she adjusted it, Alaric’s voice came from behind, “If you hate being bald that much, why did
you cut it? Just curious?”
Hertha jumped, startled at how quickly he caught up. Was he here to mock her?

Turning around, she snapped at Alaric, “You think I wanted to shave my head? The doctor had to do
it after my head was injured during the car accident!”
When the bandages were removed, she discovered she had become bald. Her captivating and sexy
blue hair was all shaved off by the doctor! She had cried at the time, and Thalassa had to comfort
her for ages.
It was so embarrassing, Alaric seeing her bald, and from such a close distance too! Alaric must be
laughing at her deep inside his mind.What a miscalculation. Hertha’s reputation was all ruined just because she overestimated her
horse-riding skills. Allowing Alaric to see her bald, he would probably mock her for a lifetime.
Thalassa seeing her bald didn’t bother her much, and when Spencer saw it, she just joked about
adding another bulb in her house.
But Alaric seeing her made her feel panicked and utterly humiliated as if her world was collapsing.
Hearing her explanation, Alaric’s teasing expression suddenly turned serious. He looked at her teal
wig and said earnestly, “It’s okay, your hair will grow back. It’s already starting to, so you’re not
completely bald. There’s no need to feel embarrassed.”
Alaric’s words came from the heart, which was protecting her dignity and comforting her.
So, it was the car crash that had left her bald, not some thrill-seeking choice to shave her head.

Realizing the true reason, Alaric suddenly regretted speaking to her in a teasing tone earlier.
No wonder she was so panicked and angry when her wig fell off.
He hadn’t seen her bald when he visited her in the hospital; she had been unconscious, her head
wrapped in bandages.
Seeing Alaric turn around to comfort her instead of mocking her, Hertha felt even more disoriented,
her gaze flitting around, “I don’t want to ride anymore. Just bring the horse back for me.”
After saying this, Hertha walked towards the starting point.
After the horse-riding event, Lysander set a time for signing the contracts, instructing Donovan to
prepare the paperwork. With that, the business meeting concluded.Alaric and Ethan left together, David pushed Lysander away, and Thalassa, along with Hertha, got
into Donovan’s car to leave the equestrian center.
…
Three days later, the official signing took place.
Hertha’s designs were sold to the Crawley Group, while Thalassa’s were bought by the Sinclair
Group.
Considering Thalassa wasn’t an employee of the design company, splitting the profits was tricky.
So, Donovan came up with a solution, offering Thalassa a job contract on the spot to work
alongside Hertha.
Thalassa, about to graduate and worried about finding a job, was more than happy to accept the
offer to join her friend at the company. She signed the employment contract right away.
