    Chapter 151


    She wanted to be a tree so that everyone would look up to her and not bully her.


    That was how she would be able to protect Renfrew, the person she


    loved.


    There was suddenly amotion outside, so Hesper lowered her


    window, then saw a convoy behind theirs. The leader walked out and started talking to the ones in front


    of them.


    “Who woulde to Salt City at a time like this?”


    Hesper frowned. “Let’s go take a look.”


    ”


    Isaac followed Hesper out of the car and walked over to the people talking.


    “Ms. Lane!”


    Hesper nodded and looked toward the stranger, only to realize that he was looking at her.


    “Do you know me?” Hesper had a good memory so she knew she never met this man in front of her.


    The man quickly looked down and said, “I’m from Duval Group. Mr. Duval said that if we meet the

    convoy from Lane Holdings, we need to have each others’ backs! This city is still in turmoil now.”


    Rickard? Hesper frowned. Rickard called her a madwoman because he knew that she was at the


    disaster area.


    “We didn’t have a disaster relief n, but Mr. Duval made.


    arrangements.” The man peeked a look at Hesper, who was the ex- Mrs. Duval and the current Ms.


    Lane. She was such a beautiful woman, it was easy to see why Mr. Duval was so nervous.


    Hesper understood the hidden meaning but didn’t show any emotions except nodding to show that she


    understood, then turned and left.


    Ma’am?”


    Isaac’s voice came from behind her, which made her pause. He then said, “I’m not easily persuaded. I


    can see when people are being phony or sincere.”


    Maybe it was because of the pain in the past, but Hesper could clearly see that Rickard was treating


    her differently now, just a little


    different.


    What would this meek disy of care mean?


    “If he really was worried, he would havee here personally to make sure that I’m safe, no?” Hesper


    said with a calm tone. “All he did was make a few calls and spend some money so that some people


    were touched and thought that was true love. There’s too much of a show going on.


    “I just… think that this is funny. He used to be my everything. I did all I could and begged for it, but he


    wouldn’t even give me a smidge of trust and love. He decided to pounce only when I push him away.”


    There was a hint of self-deprecation.


    Isaac could tell that she wasn’t as carefree, but she had to stay


    vignt because she was hurt too badly.


    He had never loved anyone, so he wouldn’t know how much it stung.


    “The gravels are all cleared. Move out!”


    An ordere from the front and Hesper immediately snapped out of it, then returned to looking


    unbothered. “Let’s go.”
