    Chapter 99


    The structure of the building waspleted and the interior was under renovation.


    Workers anddders could be seen everywhere and everyone was busy with their own tasks.


    “This spot, the paint is uneven. Please go over it again.”


    When Rickard walked over, he saw Hesper in a red dress pointing around adder. The bright color


    made her look so stunning, her dark hair fell behind her shoulders and she was even prettier than


    before.


    Suddenly, the man who was on thedder identally kicked a can of paint over, and the white paint


    spilled downward-


    “Watch out!”


    Rickard yelled out and rushed over to grab her, using his back to block the paint from her.


    Hesper immediately shoved him away after he hugged her. “Who says you can hug me!”


    Rickard didn’t expect that, so he stumbled backward. That was when Hesper saw what was on his


    back and was stunned.


    “Are you alright, Mr. Duval?”


    Benji rushed over and when he saw what Hesper did, he said, ” Mrs. Duval, Mr. Duval was just trying to


    save you. If he didn’t shield you, you would have been drenched.”


    “I don’t need you to jump in.” Rickard frowned. It was by instinct


    that he saved her, so there was no need to ask for her gratitude.” I came here because I need to speak


    to you. Can I have a word with you?”


    If all that didn’t happen, Hesper would have rejected him, but seeing how his back was soaked by


    paint, she nodded.


    They both went into the CEO’s office, which was already


    into.


    While waiting, Hesper thought that it was funny that the room that she would be using in the future was


    already used by


    Rickard first. Was it fate?


    “I’m ready.” The man’s voice was heard from behind her. Hesper turned around and saw that he was


    already in a fresh white shirt. All he needed was to clean up and he already looked like a rich


    man.


    Rickard had always worn dark colors and rarely wore anything so pale. He looked so different with


    what he was wearing now.


    However, Hesper wasn’t in the mood to appreciate any of that, so she calmly raised her chin. “What do


    you want to talk about?”


    “Did you do something to Juniper’s face?”


    Even though she guessed why he was there, she still thought that it was funny when she heard it from


    him.


    “Did you put yourself in danger toe to see me about that?”


    Rickard ignored her tone and said in a serious tone: “What did you give to her? Is there an antidote?”


    “Don’t worry, I just want her to look ugly. She won’t die.”


    “What about an antidote?”


    “There is no antidote.” Hesper was honest. That pill was

    developed by Julian and Professor Miles. It was a prank, but it turned out to be effective. She went to


    theirb and got a few before she came back, just in case she needed them.


    Rickard thought she was lying, so he frowned. “Enough. Juniper is the only descendant of the Wight


    family, so they wouldn’t just let her be hurt without doing anything. If the Wights start


    attacking you, you-”


    “Don’t exaggerate.” Hesper cut him off. “Do you really care about me, or are you worried about Mrs.


    Wight’s daughter? I think you know the answer.”


    Rickard looked surprised.


    Hesper thought it was funny because she did so much to make him happy in the past, and that


    included finding out more about his past. She knew about the help that Mrs. Wight gave to him.


    “If you already know that, then you know that I have to get the antidote no matter what.”
