Rickard looked at the files in front of him and started questioning himself for the first time in his life.
Benji compiled the truth of what happened those years ago and placed it in a folder on his desk. The
past. would be opened along with the folder, and the truth would come out.
Rickard was suddenly afraid to look at it, fearing that the ending would be as he imagined, but he also
feared that it might turn out otherwise.
However, regardless… It was time to face the truth.
When Hesper walked into the Duval Tower, she didn’t know if she was angry or disappointed.
It was a bright sunny day outside, but she felt cold. It was time for class.
Hesper remembered that she had forgotten to tell Professor Jenkins that she would be absent because
of her hurry to get there. She took out her phone and texted him. Maybe because she didn’t look well,
he was fine with it.
Since she had gone to Duval Tower a few times before because of their partnership, the receptionist
remembered her and came over to welcome her. “Ms. Lane, do you have an appointment? What time
is it? I’ll inform Mr. Lynch.”
Hesper looked down. “I don’t have an appointment. I called Rickard and said I wanted to see him.”
The receptionist remembered Ms. Lane’s relationship with her boss, so she didn’t say anything and
gave Benji a call. Benji was mostly friendly. Sometimes, the receptionists would annoy the guests and
they would ask him for help.
Benji was surprised when he picked up, his expression turning awkward.
After investigating the past, he felt sorry for Hesper… But it hadn’t even been ten minutes since he left
the folder on Rickard’s desk. How was she already there?
The receptionist said that something looked off about Hesper, who didn’t even realize that there was This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
paint on her shirt. That didn’t sound like Hesper.
Even though Benji was confused, Hesper was already there, and he couldn’t stop her. He asked them
to send her up as he went to inform Rickard.
As Rickard read through the information, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
All that scheming he despised, including what happened that night… And Hesper turned out to be a
victim
all along.
Juniper had been working on a project that needed to start immediately, but since the projects of the
Wights were saturated, all the funds were tied up. Wanting to borrow some money from Rickard,
Juniper tried to hint at this to him, but he rejected.
Firstly, he had just taken over Duval Group and what Juniper asked for wasn’t small at all. Secondly, he
didn’t think that project had good prospects and believed that it wasn’t worth Juniper putting her time.
and money into it.
Juniper understood and never brought it up after that, so Rickard thought that she was understanding,
unlike others who would do whatever it took to get what they wanted.
But the truth?
While Juniper said it was fine, she actually schemed with her friends to try to make Rickard change his
mind so she could get the money!
The plan was to make Rickard sleep with her. Knowing him, when he realized what happened the next
day, he would find a way to make amends because he was a conservative man who respected her.
That was when Juniper spiked Rickard’s drink so she could ‘have’ him. What they didn’t plan on was
Hesper drinking the spiked drink instead and Rickard coincidentally bringing her to his room.
Juniper started worrying when she saw what happened. To try to destroy the evidence, she and her
friends went to ‘catch them red handed’.
