Mrs. Potter truthfully reported everything she heard and saw to Rickard.
Rickard was on the balcony, and he happened to be able to see the large open space that sat in
between the gate of Hesper’s house and the courtyard. He also knew how long Pennleigh had been
sitting there.
‘I guess he didn’t expect that he would be sold out by his subordinate when he’s not around.’
Rickard knew Hesper well enough to know that if she were to know about this, she might leave
Eustoma after.
‘Half of the things that I must accomplish in Fredonia have been done. I’ve found Professor Miles to
heal Hesper’s leg injuries, so what’s left now is to find out the killer who’s been trying to harm Hesper.’
Because Professor Miles had spent a significant amount of time in Daybreak, Rickard tried to extract
some useful information from him.
"When I was at Daybreak?" Professor Miles had been imprisoned for a long time, so after getting out of
Daybreak, all he wanted to do was to drink a little wine. Thus, with slightly flushed cheeks, he shook his
head when he heard Rickard’s question. "I only did one thing when I was locked away by Daybreak,
and that was to research and learn how to treat leg injuries."
"Leg injuries?"
Professor Miles patted his thigh. "Yes, right here."
In fact, Rickard still had some doubts regarding his success in snatching Professor Miles back this time
around. The whole process just seemed too smooth to be true.
Daybreak had never been known to be a pushover. Rickard had already considered this before he
decided to go and snatch Professor Miles. He thought there would surely be a fierce battle.
Rather than saying that he had managed to snatch Professor Miles back, Daybreak deliberately letting
them go would be a more accurate claim.
"However, the condition of my patient in Daybreak is more serious than that of Ms. Rivera. Otherwise, I
wouldn’t have been imprisoned by them for so many months." Professor Miles curled his lips. "I don’t
think even the best doctor in the world could treat those legs."
Rickard was not very interested in someone else’s condition. However, the traces of strangeness that
had just surged up from the bottom of his heart had calmed down.
‘Perhaps I’m overthinking the situation.’
...
Recently, the most popular designer in the fashion circle was definitely River A.
When Juniper saw Rachael’s complaint, she could not help but scoff.
‘What’s so good about the Lanes? Even the young lady of the Lanes can’t get a designer that I hired
without any effort to design a dress for her.’
But the profits that she could gain from being on good terms with the Lanes were enough for Juniper to
spend more time dealing with an idiot.
[Juniper: Maybe that’s how things are when a designer becomes popular. I didn’t expect her to be such
a person. I won’t work with her anymore in the future.]
On the other side, Rachael was also a little touched when she saw Juniper’s message.
‘Ever since I returned to the Lanes, even Matthew hasn’t treated me very well. As for the people that
work for me, like Isaac and Renee, they don’t show me any respect at all either. All they talk about all
day is Hesper as if she’s the real lady. Juniper is the only one who cares about me. I fully understand
why the relationship between Juniper and Hesper isn’t good now. Juniper would never befriend
someone as hypocritical and vicious as Hesper.’
"Have you finished packing?"
When Carter entered the room, he saw that Juniper was staring at her cell phone and smirking. He
frowned unobtrusively, suppressed his expression, and walked up to her. "What are you looking at?"
Juniper sneered and showed Carter the chat records between her and Rachael.
"Look at this fool." Juniper leaned in Carter’s arms, gave a faint smirk, and then took a deep breath. "I Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
never expected this to be the case. I'll admit that Hesper is a little smart; at least she’s much more
difficult to deal with than the current Rachael Lane."
Carter gave her temple a peck, but his face that reflected in the mirror looked solemn.
