“You seem very surprised to see me, don’t you, Ms. Wight?” Hesper had already sat down on the guest table with a faint smirk, but Juniper was still standing in a daze, too surprised, almost astonished, and the scene dove into a moment of awkwardness.“Juni, what’s wrong with you? Say something, quickly!” Her assistant’s anxious reminder sounded in her earphones, and Juniper finally came back to her senses.As she sat down gracefully, she tried to cover up her embarrassment from just now with a series of commendations. “Yes, it’s a little surprising. I didn’t expect our guest to be this young. You look so young and promising, Ms. Rivera.”She placed quite a bit of emphasis on the last few words, giving off a sarcastic tone.Hesper chuckled all of a sudden. “Ms. Wight, didn’t you go through the script before you came into this interview as the host? It’s Ms. Lane, not Ms. Rivera.”“Nonsense, you’re obviously...” Halfway through her exclamation, Juniper stopped abruptly. She remember

He then hurried forward with a frown. “Juniper Wight, what’s wrong with you today?”Hesper was a guest that they had invited to the television station for an interview, and she did not do anything excessive during the session, so he could not blame her and could only cast all his grievances on Juniper.“I don’t care about the grievances that exist between the two of you, but this is a live interview! And please don’t forget that you’re a host! If you can’t even deliver what you’re being asked to, what makes you think you’re worthy of the support that our viewers and fans show you?”His reprimand reminded Juniper that she had placed everything into this career of hers, and she must not fall short at this moment.“Sir, I’m sorry. This is on me...”The director let out a long sigh, took a deep breath, and gave off a polite smile as he apologized and explained the situation to Hesper. “I’m really sorry, Ms. Lane. I didn’t know Ms. Wight would be so confused that she would go out of co

“The television station can’t and won’t tolerate such a mistake, whether it was committed by a host or an artist. Juniper has made such a joke out of herself and the station, so even if the director of the department wants to protect her, everything he does will be in vain. They won’t be able to keep her; that interview has marked the end of her career.”“That sounds reasonable too.”“Come on, let’s head home already.”Hesper gave off a faint smile, and the group of three disappeared from the entrance of the television station.And at the same time.Rickard just finished watching the entire interview too, but when he heard that Matthew Lane was Hesper’s elder brother, his pupils constricted instantly.“So, she’s been with him all this time?”‘I didn’t know him when I met him at the hospital back then and I only learned about him by accident later on. I never thought that Hesper would be by his side all this while.’“Mr. Duval, the young lady claimed that Matthew Lane is her bro

Madam Duval followed everyone into the dining hall and motioned for Juniper to sit beside Rickard at the same time.“Juniper, don’t you like to eat fish? Eat some of this. It’s boneless, so it should be convenient for you to eat.”“Okay, thank you.” Juniper let off a bashful smile, took a glance at the man sitting beside her, and asked, “Rickard, would you like some soup? I’ll fetch you some.”“There’s no need for that.” Rickard interrupted her, and his stern expression gave off an intense sense of alienation.“Dick, how can you speak so rudely to Juniper?” Madam Duval frowned instantly. “Juniper came to our place because she cares about my health, not to mention that you two have known each other for so many years. No matter what, you should always treat her kindly.”“Mom.” Rickard looked at her.He could explain himself by saying that he did not understand what was going on before this, but he now had a general picture of what had happened back then.He then said calmly and sl

“Mom, what makes you think you can talk to her like that just now? Has Hesper done something outrageous before this? Why do you all look like you were meeting your archenemy when she was here just now?”“Huh? Why are you blaming me for what happened?!” Madam Duval felt extremely wronged. She sat down on the couch and started complaining. “What have I done to deserve this? I got myself such a former daughter-in-law and you’re telling me that I can’t get physical with her, nor can I raise my voice against her? If you think she’d make a great wife, then go to her and ask for her hand again. While you’re at it, you can disown me as your mother!”Rickard was so exasperated that the veins on his forehead bulged one after another. He was not in the mood to argue, so he turned around and went upstairs without saying another word.Sophia and Juniper wanted to catch up to him, but he stopped them harshly, “Stop right there, you two. I don’t want to talk to anybody!”Sophia curled her lips, f
