Nothing happened for the next few days.
While Juniper didn't do anything, Carter indulged in his romantic pursuits every day. There was
something that Hesper did not understand. It should not be a problem for someone to indulge in a
hedonistic lifestyle. If Carter was really reliable, he would not have fallen to the point where he had Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
almost been replaced by his father's illegitimate child.
Hesper enjoyed the peace and quiet. When having her office renovated, Benji clearly followed Renee's
suggestions, as the style suited Hesper's tastes. Drawing in such an environment every day seemed to
improve her mood a lot.
Rickard was still in a coma. With the deadline approaching in a month, Hesper became even more
silent at home, for she was afraid that her son would ask her questions that she could not answer.

Juniper had been lingering under Hesper's apartment for many days.
Originally, she thought that Renfrew would eventually come out, but unexpectedly, he had not even
taken a step out of his house. The people that Juniper sent out to watch did not catch Renfrew leaving
the place at all.
Juniper did miscalculate one thing. Renfrew studied and tested his programs at home every day.
Whenever he came out, he would be accompanied by either Hesper or Jessie. Recently, Jessie had
been busy with the studio, while Hesper was at the Duval Group. Renfrew did not want to bring trouble
to them, so it went without saying that he would not come out himself.
When Juniper thought she would leave empty-handed again that day, she was surprised to see a small
figure carrying a school bag, cautiously surveying the surroundings before walking out of the unit.
"It seems like luck is on my side today…" Juniper said as a smile played around her lips. Then, she
burst out laughing boisterously, "See, Hesper. Even the heavens are helping me."
Meanwhile, Renfrew had just left the unit. Even though Hesper did not tell him anything, he knew that
Rickard was in a critical condition. Although Hesper had contacted Myriade and asked for her help, it
was obvious that nothing was resolved and they were trapped in a deadlock situation.
In any case, he had to go and see his daddy. If not, he would not feel at ease.
However, just when Renfrew took a few steps forward, a strange scent came. Before he knew it, he lost
consciousness.
Juniper waited until Renfrew had collapsed on the floor before she went forward and picked him up.
Seeing his sleeping face, she felt extremely satisfied and exclaimed in her heart how effective the
medicine Carter gave her was.
She just scattered the medicine through the wind, and Renfrew fell unconscious after inhaling a small
amount.
Juniper stuffed Renfrew into a sack and casually threw it into the back seat before driving away from
the residential area.
She was in no hurry to inform Hesper of Renfrew's disappearance, nor would she tell her that he was
with her. Juniper wanted to see how anxious and angry Hesper would become. The more urgent and
furious Hesper was, the happier she would feel.
Just the thought of that scene excited her immensely.
As Juniper tapped the steering wheel with her index finger, unbeknownst to her, a manic smile
appeared on her own face.

By the time Hesper discovered Renfrew's disappearance, it was already night time.
Benji could not locate Renfrew either, so Hesper had no other choice but to ask for the camera footage
from the security guard.
The cost of maintaining the residential area was high, and the cameras were regularly serviced.
Despite this, for some unknown reason, a small segment of the footage had been erased.
Hesper was initially taken aback but quickly came to the realization that Renfrew could be responsible.
However, Renfrew was not the type to disappear without a valid reason, which left Hesper wondering
why she had not heard anything from him yet.
"Something must have happened."
