    Chapter 102


    But why would the television station want to put a host whose reputation had been severely damaged


    out there? The director escaped from the ward immediately.


    Even though Juniper yelled so loud that her voice turned hoarse, he would not stop and return to the


    ward.


    “I really can do it!” she screamed, unwilling.


    The attitude of her former colleagues all changed as soon as they left the ward. They rushed away


    from the ward one after another as if they were afraid that they would be kept there in the ward by


    Juniper if they were to leave a secondter.


    “This is my opportunity. How can you guys do this to me…?”


    Juniper was devastated. The great joy only went on for a few minutes, and it was immediately followed


    by sorrow and grievance.


    ‘I’ve already won so many awards, and I’m only a few awards away from earning myself a grand m


    and bing a well- known goddess-like public figure. But now, I can’t even grasp the opportunity that


    was ced right in front of me! Damn! Damn it!’


    Juniper bit her lip ruthlessly, and she would not stop even when her teeth had pierced through her lip


    and caused it to bleed.


    At this moment, she received an anonymous text message on her cell phone.


    “How’s the gift? Do you like it?”


    ‘It’s her, Hesper Rivera!’


    At this moment, all Juniper wanted to do was ughter


    someone.


    ‘If Hesper were standing right in front of me right now, I’d cut her face and make her experience what


    it’s like to be regarded as an ugly monster!’


    After sending the text message, Hesper’s attention was no


    longer on the matter anymore. She waited at the entrance of the hotel for some time before she saw


    Benji fetching Renfrew to the hotel.


    “Mommy!” The little fe was extremely clingy whenever he was around her, and he would always give


    her a passionate and tight hug every time they met.


    As the mother and son cuddled together, Hesper could not help.


    but think.


    ‘If it was a daughter, she’d be even clingier.’


    “Good boy, do you miss me?”


    “Of course!”


    The mother and son were enjoying each other’spany when Benji’s voice broke the harmonious


    scene. “Mrs. Duval, Mr. Duval has agendas to attend to tonight, so he can’t fetch the young master


    here himself, which is why I’ve been assigned with this


    task.”


    “Stop right there.” Hesper waved her hand. “Benji, we’ve known each other for many years and you


    once helped me before, so I don’t want to make your life miserable now. Stop calling me Mrs.


    Duval. Mrs. Duyal died long ago.”


    “But…”


    Catching a glimpse of her sharp gaze, Benji’s heart skipped a beat.


    ‘Nowadays, the youngdy’s aura isn’t inferior to that of Mr. Duval, which makes her equally


    frightening.”


    But as Rickard’s most capable assistant, Benji felt the need to help Rickard out. “Mrs. Du… Ms. Lane, if


    you don’t like it, I can stop calling you that. But Mr. Duval actually misses you very much, so I sincerely


    hope that you can give him a chance. There’s really no need for you to cut off all possibilities so early


    on. It’s always wise to leave some room for possibilities.”


    “He misses me?” She scoffed. “If I remember correctly, you told me something rather simr three


    years ago too. You said he cared for me, but as soon as something happened, the first thing he did


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    was abandon me and shield the killer who wanted to murder me. He even hit me. You witnessed all this


    with your own eyes, so how can you ask me to give him a chance?”


    “Ms. Lane…”


    “There’s no need for you to try to justify his actions. For our sake, I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear those


    words, and you don’t have to bring them up ever again in the future.”


    Hesper held Renfrew’s hand, turned around, and left coldly. Frozen in ce, Benji stared at her


    resolute figure and let off a long sigh.


    ‘After so many years of umtion, the grievances that the youngdy kept within herself isn’t


    something that can be easily


    removed…


    “Mommy.”


    Hesper had not spoken ever since she left the lobby with Renfrew. Seeing her uneasy look, Renfrew


    gently squeezed her palm.


    “Yes, Ren? What is it?” She lowered her head instantly.


    “Did daddy really treat you so badly back then?”


    He had only heard about what his grandma and aunty did to his mommy, but he did not know that his


    daddy was as cruel as them too.
