But why would the television station want to put a host whose reputation had been severely damaged
out there? The director escaped from the ward immediately.
Even though Juniper yelled so loud that her voice turned hoarse, he would not stop and return to the
ward.
“I really can do it!” she screamed, unwilling.
The attitude of her former colleagues all changed as soon as they left the ward. They rushed away
from the ward one after another as if they were afraid that they would be kept there in the ward by
Juniper if they were to leave a second later.
“This is my opportunity. How can you guys do this to me…?”
Juniper was devastated. The great joy only went on for a few minutes, and it was immediately followed
by sorrow and grievance.
‘I’ve already won so many awards, and I’m only a few awards away from earning myself a grand slam
and becoming a well- known goddess-like public figure. But now, I can’t even grasp the opportunity that
was placed right in front of me! Damn! Damn it!’
Juniper bit her lip ruthlessly, and she would not stop even when her teeth had pierced through her lip
and caused it to bleed.
At this moment, she received an anonymous text message on her cell phone.
“How’s the gift? Do you like it?”
‘It’s her, Hesper Rivera!’
At this moment, all Juniper wanted to do was slaughter
someone.
‘If Hesper were standing right in front of me right now, I’d cut her face and make her experience what
it’s like to be regarded as an ugly monster!’
After sending the text message, Hesper’s attention was no
longer on the matter anymore. She waited at the entrance of the hotel for some time before she saw
Benji fetching Renfrew to the hotel.
“Mommy!” The little fella was extremely clingy whenever he was around her, and he would always give
her a passionate and tight hug every time they met.
As the mother and son cuddled together, Hesper could not help.
but think.
‘If it was a daughter, she’d be even clingier.’
“Good boy, do you miss me?”
“Of course!”
The mother and son were enjoying each other’s company when Benji’s voice broke the harmonious
scene. “Mrs. Duval, Mr. Duval has agendas to attend to tonight, so he can’t fetch the young master
here himself, which is why I’ve been assigned with this
task.”
“Stop right there.” Hesper waved her hand. “Benji, we’ve known each other for many years and you
once helped me before, so I don’t want to make your life miserable now. Stop calling me Mrs.
Duval. Mrs. Duyal died long ago.”
“But…”
Catching a glimpse of her sharp gaze, Benji’s heart skipped a beat.
‘Nowadays, the young lady’s aura isn’t inferior to that of Mr. Duval, which makes her equally
frightening.”
But as Rickard’s most capable assistant, Benji felt the need to help Rickard out. “Mrs. Du… Ms. Lane, if
you don’t like it, I can stop calling you that. But Mr. Duval actually misses you very much, so I sincerely
hope that you can give him a chance. There’s really no need for you to cut off all possibilities so early
on. It’s always wise to leave some room for possibilities.”
“He misses me?” She scoffed. “If I remember correctly, you told me something rather similar three
years ago too. You said he cared for me, but as soon as something happened, the first thing he did
was abandon me and shield the killer who wanted to murder me. He even hit me. You witnessed all this
with your own eyes, so how can you ask me to give him a chance?”
“Ms. Lane…”
“There’s no need for you to try to justify his actions. For our sake, I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear those
words, and you don’t have to bring them up ever again in the future.”
Hesper held Renfrew’s hand, turned around, and left coldly. Frozen in place, Benji stared at her This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
resolute figure and let off a long sigh.
‘After so many years of accumulation, the grievances that the young lady kept within herself isn’t
something that can be easily
removed…
“Mommy.”
Hesper had not spoken ever since she left the lobby with Renfrew. Seeing her uneasy look, Renfrew
gently squeezed her palm.
“Yes, Ren? What is it?” She lowered her head instantly.
“Did daddy really treat you so badly back then?”
He had only heard about what his grandma and aunty did to his mommy, but he did not know that his
daddy was as cruel as them too.
