Chapter 206


    Chapter 206


    Juniper was born with a delicate and captivating look, so as long as her beholder did not deliberately


    try to find fault in her appearance, she might even look a little innocent and artless.


    “You look nice.” Ariana nodded. “However, I’m here to tell you to not go to the charity g tonight.”


    Ariana’s gaze and expression still looked gentle and amiable, but what she said did not seem to leave


    Juniper with any choices.


    Juniper’s expression turned cold instantly, and she stared at Ariana in confusion.


    “Why? I’ve been preparing for this event for a long time, and I only want to be there to…” Juniper’s


    eyes wandered out of focus for a split second, and she eximed with a frown, “I don’t care. I must


    attend the function tonight. If you don’t want me to go, shouldn’t you at least give me a valid reason?”


    Ariana nodded. “Rickard and Hesper will be attending the banquet tonight too, so I don’t want you to


    go.


    This is the reason.”


    ‘Nowadays, there’s been so much ruckus going on between the Duvals and the Lanes, putting aside


    our family andpany, even smallerpanies are able to feel the tit-for-tat momentum between the


    two huge families. Themotion is showing a trend of bing more and more intense recently.


    ‘Speaking of which, Hesper is also no longer someone Juniper can easily frame and overpower only


    out of jealousy of her. She’s now someone who stands on the same level as Rickard and can even go


    against him by attacking hispany. She and Juniper no longer belong in the same ss anymore.


    So why can’t Juniper understand that?”


    “I’ll definitely attend the g today, Mom… So don’t try to talk me out of it anymore.”

    Juniper let go of Ariana’s arm, turned around, and was about to leave, but Ariana stretched out her


    hand and grabbed her, not wanting her to leave and go out there to do something stupid like pestering


    Rickard


    again.


    “Juni…”


    “Stop!”


    ”


    As soon as Juniper exerted force and jerked her arm backward, Ariana was pulled forward and lost her


    bnce, her forehead hitting the corner of the cab as she fell.


    “…Mom, mom!”


    Blood gushed out of Ariana’s forehead in an instant, while Juniper stood beside her, covering her


    mouth. It took a while before she recovered from the trance, knelt down, and helped Ariana up. “Mom!”


    Ariana hadpletely lost consciousness. Juniper, at a loss, finally remembered to yell to summon a


    servant after some time.


    “I’ve called an ambnce and it should arrive soon, so don’t worry, Ms. Wight.”


    Juniper looked at Ariana, whose eyes were tightly closed, and bit her lower lip as if she had made up


    her mind in that instant. She then turned her head and said to the servant, “You must watch over my


    mother until she wakes up. I have something to do, and I have to go now. Call me if she wakes up!”


    “Ms. Wight?” The servant was a little shocked.


    However, after saying so, Juniper let go of Ariana’s hand, turned around, and went downstairs with her


    clutch purse in her hand.


    At the entrance of the banquet, Rickard sat in his car watching Hesper get out of her car in a bright red


    gown.


    Because she did note with a malepanion nor did she need thepanionship of a female,


    Hesper came to the g alone that day. However, she did not look very lonely, because as soon as


    she got out of the car, many people who had been waiting for an opportunity to approach her


    immediately walked up to her and surrounded her.


    With Hesper’s current status and capital, it was expected that many young masters in Genecity would


    flock to her.


    Sitting in the car, Rickard saw Hesper being surrounded to the extent where shepletely


    disappeared from sight. He then opened the car window to let the smoke out.


    “Damn, holy sh*t, bro. Exactly how much have you smoked?” Zikmund suddenly appeared out of


    nowhere, stretched out his hand, and fanned the smog in front of his face. “I wonder how you’ve been


    so quiet all this while. I thought you’d taken Hesper off your mind. Dude, why are you smoking so


    much?”


    Zikmund would never skip such events, but on the other hand, Rickard seldom showed up. He would at


    most have Benji deliver something to the venue on his behalf.
