The answer was no longer important because he was not going to listen to their excuses.
Rickard said with a stoic expression, “If you continue to bully her, I’m not going to let you off just
because you’re my family.”
“How could you say that to me? Have you forgotten that I’m your mother?” Julie was frustrated. Rickard
had always been a good son to her, but after what he said, she was unhappy and afraid at the
same time.
Rickard looked at her, his calm eyes sending chills down their spines. “If you weren’t my mother, this
would end very differently. Enough,
Mom.”
Julie wanted to say more, but Rickard gave his order. “As for Juniper, we’ll let bygones be bygones.
She should visit us less often because I don’t want any more trouble. Do you hear me?”
“Yes, sir.”
He walked away in silence. His heart was in a knot and he had to do something to release the stress.
In the presidential suite.
Hesper was in a milk bath. She had had a good life in the past two years because Matthew treated her
very well and would give her anything she asked for. That made her overall well-being improve, and her
skin got better too.
Her fair skin was bare as she closed her eyes and rested. Under the dense vapor, her face was so
pretty.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Hesper frowned and quickly W
up in a bathrobe.

“You?” She raised her brow when she saw who was there then was about to close the door.
“Wait,” Rickard stretched out his hand to block her, his dark brown
eyes looking guilty, which was the complete opposite of what he usually was like. “I need to speak to
you.”
Hesper stared at him for a few seconds then let him in.
“Make it quick, then leave.”
Rickard stood behind her. The usually decisive man started
hesitating, but when he saw how impatient she looked, he spoke. “I heard the recording. I’m sorry for
finding out so late.”
He kept thinking that if he found out about the situation that she was in earlier, it might not hurt her that
much.
“So? You came all the way to say that?” Hesper was apathetic as if she didn’t care.
After staying quiet for a few seconds, Rickard pulled out a check from his front pocket. “I can’t change
the past. I know that we’ve treated you horrendously. Please take this money; it’s compensation for
you.”
Her eyes fell on the thin piece of check and it was double the amount from the one that Benji brought
over. It seemed as though he felt even more guilty after hearing the recording.
Hesper didn’t take it but instead scoffed. “Do you think money can make me forget the hurt I went
through? Or do you think I need this money?”
Rickard knew it wasn’t the latter. With the Lanes supporting her, she was now living comfortably. Why
would she care about this?”
“But this is how I’m making amends.” His voice trailed off because even he thought that it was pathetic. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Hesper laughed “Rickard, who do you think I am? I never asked for money from you when I was
suffering in the past, yet now you’re offering it to me? Are you trying to insult me?”
