    “President Lane, don’t you think so too?”


    Wilfred’s tone sounded somewhat aggressive, but Hesper’s expression remained calm, and she


    politely responded, “Uncle Wilfred, there’s no need for you to address me with honorifics. At the end of


    the day, you’re still my uncle.”


    Seeing that Hesper did not fall into the trap, Wilfred frowned, and then continued, “I think this


    contribution is very necessary, Hesper…”


    “I know.” Hesper had already guessed what Wilfred was going to say and preemptively said, “You want


    me to personally bring supplies to the city in order to set an example, correct?”


    Standing behind Hesper, Isaac nced at Wilfred who was on the video call after hearing his


    suggestion, and his expression looked extremely hostile.


    ‘This city just experienced an earthquake yesterday Going there now to boost thepany’s CSR


    number is undoubtedly a huge risk. Ms. Lane is the youngdy of the Lanes, so her presence at the


    scene can naturally earn thepany a lot of favorability, but such benefits are simply too insignificant


    Everyone below looked at Hesper, thinking that it was impossible for Hesper to agree to this proposal.


    …After all, she was just a delicate and noble youngdy.


    “Alright, I’ll go there myself.” Hesper did not leave too much time for people to react and started giving


    the order immediately. “Get the list of supplies and means of transportation ready. I want to arrive in


    Salt City with the supplies by tomorrow noon at thetest.”


    When Rickard received the news, Hesper was already in the car.


    “Is she crazy? Does she know just how dangerous Salt City is now? And does she know how many


    people would kill just to get out of that ce now, yet she’s going to travel there?”


    Rickard called Hesper over and over again, but no one answered.


    Looking at Rickard’s anxious look on the side, Benji knew that his boss had already fallen for Hesper


    without knowing it. “The telmunicating signal in Salt City might not be very good now, Mr. Duval,


    so Ms. Lane might not be able to receive your calls.”


    Hearing this, Rickard hung up the phone irritably, and then called Duval Group’s headquarters.


    “Prepare medical equipment and first aid supplies, and send all of them to Salt City.”

    “If you were to run into Lane Holdings’ convoy, look after each other.”


    Seeing that Rickard had made all the arrangements, Benji said again, “Mr. Duval, you asked me to


    keep an eye on Ms. Wight earlier on, and I found out that Ms. Wight has been very quiet recently. She


    hasn’t gone anywhere special and has only invited Ms. Duval out to go shopping asionally. Our men


    have been monitoring her throughout the whole process and haven’t heard her making


    any remarks against Ms. Lane.”


    This really surprised Rickard, but it would be best if Juniper could really learn to behave.


    ‘If she and Sophia were to dare toy a finger on Hesper again, I might not be able to protect her


    anymore!’


    On the way to Salt City, Hesper had received all the calls that came from Rickard, but she did not pick


    up any of them and muted her phone instead.


    “There’s debris blocking the road ahead, and our men have already gone down to clean it up,” Isaac


    said while getting into the car swiftly.


    Seeing Hesper’s frowning expression, he could not help but say, “This trip is going to be very risky.


    Aftershocks might even happen at any time. So why would you agree toe with the convoy?”


    Hesper was indeed a little tired; she kept thinking about why Rickard called and she could only breathe


    a sigh of relief at this moment.


    “If I were to reject the proposal, the prestige that I’ve been establishing these days would crumble in an


    instant. Those people in thepany will only remember that I’m someone who’s afraid of dying and


    has no guts toe to Salt City,” Hesper exined, then sneered. “My uncle is indeed quite smart.”


    Isaac nodded and sighed. “Ms. Lane, it seems that your life in Genecity is just full of challenges and


    grievances.”


    Hearing this, Hesper smiled and shook her head How can this be considered a grievance? If I want to


    repay Matthew’s kindness and gain more through my own efforts, this is the only path that I must step

    onto.”


    ‘I, Hesper Rivera, don’t want to be a canary that stares into the bright sky from its cage. I’m not going to


    be a pet bird that stays by a man’s side and treats him as if he’s my whole life anymore.’
