Chapter 543
Chapter 543
Carter spectated from the side as if he was watching a movie; the only thing missing was a box of
popcorn.
Ariana stepped forward in distress, wanting to see how Juniper was doing, but she was pushed away
by Juniper.
"What right do you have in teaching me a lesson?! What makes you think you’re better than me?"
Juniper laughed hysterically. "You’ll never know just how much you and Rickard missed throughout all
those years. You’ll also never get to know how many misunderstandings took place between the two of
you. I’ll carry these secrets to my grave. I’ll never tell you anything!"
Hesper frowned, but before Juniper could say anything else, Carter, who was standing by and watching
the play, finally stepped forward and covered her chattering mouth. "Alright, today’s farce should end
here."
Carter smiled, but there was not even a hint of hilarity in his eyes. "I must admit, Ms. Lane, that you’re
a very smart woman. I seem to have underestimated you." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Those few slaps not only hurt Juniper physically, but him too. She was his wife in name after all. Since
Hesper had the guts to slap her in front of him, that meant that she couldn't care less about Carter’s
identity.
The least she could do was worry slightly that she would have to answer to Carter when she thought
about hitting his wife.
"Thank you for the praise."
Hesper had never taken Carter seriously, but now it seemed that Carter was not as useless as the
rumors said.
Thinking of Jean who had appeared where she was living now, Hesper’s gaze dimmed.
"Oh right. Mr. Wilson, I’d appreciate it if you didn't treat me like a fool anymore. It’s pointless for you to
plant someone by my side in order to spy on me."
Carter frowned. "And may I know who you're talking about?"
"Mr. Jean Yates." Hesper did not have the time to go back and forth with Carter, so she pointed Jean’s
actions out directly. "If I see that man appear anywhere near me again, the next thing at stake will be
your reputation."
Carter pondered for a moment. The corner of his lips curled upward into a smirk.
"If you hadn't mentioned this fella today, I would’ve forgotten all about his existence... Don’t worry. I’ll
make sure that he disappears from your sight from here on out."
After saying so, Carter helped Juniper up, turned around, and supported her as they left the meeting
room. Ariana seemed to want to chase after her daughter, but she was stopped by Hesper, who shook
her head and signaled her not to go.
Seeing Juniper getting beaten, Ariana felt more saddened than anyone else in the world, but she could
not stop Hesper.
She could not watch Juniper as she sank deeper and deeper into an abyss of no return.
"I would like to thank you for today’s matter, Mrs. Wight." Hesper sat down and gave off a sigh. "Since
you showed me your sincerity, I, Hesper Rivera, swear on my name that I’ll definitely remember this
favor of yours."
She raised her gaze and looked at Ariana. "From the look of it, I don't think she'll be stopping there.
Now that you've fallen out with her as a result of today's incident, you won’t have any more insider tips
for me from now on."
Ariana looked at Hesper nervously.
Realizing that she had misunderstood, Hesper shook her head. "What I mean to say is, for the time
being, you should stop worrying about all these matters. I know how to deal with Juniper from this
point. As long as she doesn’t go too overboard, I’ll provide you with a satisfactory outcome."
Hearing this, Ariana finally breathed a sigh of relief and could not help but continue to weep.
