    Chapter 362


    After she returned to her room at night, Hesper made a call to Matthew.


    “Did Uncle Simon have any grudges against Rachael?”


    On the other side of the line, Matthew frowned and replied, “Where did you hear that? Rachael was


    only four years old when she went missing How could Simon have any grudges against her?”


    Hesper could not figure it out either, but this was what Arthur told her. In this house, only Matthew and


    Arthur would not lie to her, as there was no need for them to


    “Grandpa told me this afternoon.


    After that, Hesper told Matthew everything that Arthur told her, and Matthew was silent for a moment


    after listening


    “… Honestly, I’ve never heard of such a thing before, Why would Grandpa say that?” Matthew


    wondered.


    However, what Hesper worried about right now was another matter. “If… I mean what if Uncle


    Simon really had a grudge against Rachael?”


    Hesper felt that this was somewhat absurd as well, but she continued. “Could Uncle Simon have had


    an ulterior motive when he forged my identity back then? I don’t want to suspect him, but at this point,


    it’s better to be cautious.”


    Matthew pondered for a moment. “Even if he had an ulterior motive, it’s already been three years since


    then, so I don’t think anything will happen right now. Anyway, I’ll keep an eye on Simon during this time.


    You don’t have to worry about it.”


    “Okay.”


    Hesper did not intend to use Rachael’s identity forever, but it would bring both her and Matthew a lot of


    trouble if her identity was exposed now.


    Putting the Lane Holdings aside, how were they going to exin it to Arthur?


    Arthur’s health had been deteriorating over the years. If something happened, the consequences would


    be unbearable for everyone.


    The next day, Arthur began to prepare a dress for Hesper.


    “It’s all right, Grandpa…


    Arthur red at her. “Everyone will be dressed to the nines in the banquet, so you can’t show up in a


    simple outfit. Besides, you’re a designer yourself, Look at the dress that we’ve prepared for


    someone else.”


    “You should just let him be, Hesper,” Helen chimed in with a chuckle. “Our grandpa wants to see you


    looking so beautiful that people can’t take their eyes off you. But he doesn’t know anything about


    fashion. Among us, even though I’m a woman, Theodore knows the most about dressed.”

    “Theodore?”


    Arthur furrowed his brow for a moment. “Yes. When he was young, he had a lover in the entertainment


    industry who was also an illegitimate daughter of the Riveras. Theodore lived with her for many years,


    so he should know a thing or two about fashion.”


    ‘The illegitimate daughter of the Riveras?”


    Hesper had never heard of this before. The Riveras were a well-known family in Emperion, and they


    were very influential in the design industry. And she had previously referred to the Riveras’ designers


    for reference. At first, some people even suspected that she had some connection to


    the Riveras.


    Even though Ynda was a famous singer, not many people knew about her background. The great-


    grandfather of the Lanes refused to acknowledge Ynda, and even the Riveras would not


    acknowledge her.


    But the irony was that Ynda’s son had be the Lanes’ illegitimate son now.


    “How about this? Why don’t you go and consult Theodore? The banquet is just around the corner,”


    Arthur said as he waved his hand. “You don’t have to be scared of him. Although he looks like he may


    seem a little bit unapproachable, he has a kind and gentle heart.”


    “Okay.”
