“We’ll see what Hesper thinks.”Arthur Lane waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter if she changes her name. She would still be part of the family. Rivera is what she grew up with, so she shouldn’t forget where she came from even after becoming part of our family. That’s good.”Hesper gave a sigh of relief after hearing that. She turned around and wined at Arthur. Matthew was done with work and went home not long after they started chatting. The relatives didn’t dare to do anything to Hesper when Matthew wasn’t around and were even more cautious when he got there. If Arthur was protective of Hesper, Matthew downright spoiled her. No one would dare touch his baby sister, or they would be in big trouble. “There’s nothing in your mind other than work.”Matthew was immediately chided by Arthur when he got home. He was used to it, so he didn’t even look up when he heard that. “You dropped your cane, Grandpa.”Hesper looked at them gleefully, then picked the cane up. Being stuck in th

Matthew snapped back when he noticed that Hesper was looking around, then looked at the cake and shook his head. “Nothing.”“Hmm?” Hesper knew that something was wrong, but he tried to cover it up. She remembered that Matthew told her she looked a lot like Rachel Lane, and it dawned on her. “Are you thinking about Rachel?” Matthew didn’t hide it and nodded. He kept his eyes on the cake but they weren’t in focus. “Whenever we have a party at home, everyone wouldn’t have time to take care of me and Rachel. She would always sneak into the kitchen and bring cakes out.”“The cakes were usually hot, and she would pinch her earlobes like how you did and look at me with a cheeky smile.”There were so many memories. Matthew would smile sadly because he had to remember his sister based on his memories… and he was glad that they were all good ones. Hesper covered her mouth. “You don’t have any updates on her yet? You’ve been looking for her for years. Do you think she just forgot about h

She had the right to turn it down. She was almost done talking, so she made up an excuse to escape. When she left, she saw Nathaniel and Matthew standing together, so she waved to them then turned and left. Hesper couldn’t be sure she would be able to maintain her smile if she kept getting asked about her marriage. Everyone split after Hesper walked away and Arthur saw Nathaniel there. That was when Matthew and Simon went over. “Happy birthday, Uncle.”Simon wasn’t interested in blending in with the crowd, so he only walked over with the present for Arthur when that happened. It was a tea set, nothing too lavish. Arthur didn’t really like the tea set he had before this, so this gift was just perfect. He didn’t say if he was happy or unhappy about the gift but instead just placed it on the table and asked, “Are you going to stay here for a while, or are you leaving soon?”“I came back for your birthday,” Simon said. “You know that I don’t have much going on here, and I have

“Matt, if Rachel returns, I’ll leave immediately.”“...Don’t say that.” Matthew frowned. “I said this before. You’re my sister, no matter what. Even if she comes back, you’ll still be my sister.”Hespr shook her head and smiled, but it looked broken in the cold wind. “When she comes back, I’ll return her brother to her.”***The time she had at Emperion was short. Hesper returned to Genecity, but this time, Matthew didn’t come along. There was a lot of work to do in Emperion, especially since she had to take part in the competition. The hype that it brought benefited Lane Holdings, so Matthew was busy. The fourth stage of the competition was around the new year. The most important project in Genecity was the design competition. Hesper didn’t get involved in it, so there was nothing much to do at home. That morning, she went to room 345 earlier with a bag of flour. The live-streaming room was still very quiet at that hour. Even Hesper wouldn’t show up so early usually, but

Shawn slapped his forehead. “Don’t worry, this won’t affect your competition. I’m sure you know the PR team of Lane Holdings. They’ll be able to turn anything around. Don’t worry.”“There’s nothing to turn around!”Their whispers weren’t captured by the live stream, so everyone watching was anxiously waiting to know what they were saying. No one was able to hear anything. “I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that this will change. Even though something seems to be off about Hesper, she doesn’t look guilty.”“Yes… I think so too, but everyone in the chat seems to be trying to tear her down, so I didn’t want to oppose.”“Hesper must have grown up in a good environment. If there really was something fishy going on, I’ll admit that I’ve misjudged her.”“No way someone is still on her side. Why would people like a divorced sugar baby?”“Hold on, stop arguing. Shouldn’t we check Lane Holdings’s announcement?”***Matthew quickly took action. During the age of information, anythin
