The reason Arthur believed in them was due to some preconceived notions, but everything that
happened that night was absurd in Hesper’s point of view. She did not believe a single word of what
Simon and Theodore said.
“But the paternity test result can’t be fake, and Aunt Helen wouldn’t stand on your side for no
reason. Obviously, the things that happened tonight took her by surprise as well,” Matthew said, ” She
must have done the paternity test a long time ago. It’s only after the truth was revealed tonight that she
hesitated about whether it was more beneficial for her to disclose the result or
not.”
Hesper was stunned for a moment before saying, “So… I’m really one of the Lanes? I’m really Grandpa
Arthur’s granddaughter and your biological cousin sister?”
Matthew nodded, his eyes finally showing a hint of warmth. “Hesper, we hit the jackpot in this gamble
tonight.”
The tears that Hesper had been holding back the whole night finally rolled down her cheeks. She threw
himself into Matthew’s arms. “I must be the luckiest person in the world, Matt…”
In the past, she had no family, no lover, and no friends. It was Matthew who held her hand and brought
her out of despair. He was the one who gave her an identity and a new life.
Right now, this person turned out to be her cousin brother with whom she shared a blood
rtionship.
The Lane Manor was in chaos. Rachael was found and Hesper went from being a legal heir of the
Lanes to an illegitimate daughter. That being said, Arthur adored her very much, so her identity did
not matter.
Very soon, Rickard received the news. Benji could not help but sigh. “I didn’t expect Ms. Lane’s life.
was so full of twists and turns. But luckily, it all ended well for her.”
However, Rickard fell into pensive silence when he received the news. After a short while of hesitation,
he said, “I feel like there’s something off about this. There may be more to the matter.”
Benji did not see anything wrong, but both he and Rickard had two different reactions toward the
news.
“If Ms. Lane bes an illegitimate daughter, wouldn’t it be somewhat improper for her to manage the
Lane Holdings?
“Yeah…” Rickard agreed.
Although Hesper was still a member of the Lanes, being an illegitimate daughter was an awkward
identity that couldn’t be brought to the table. Not only that, but people would not ept it if they allowed
an illegitimate daughter to manage the Lane Holdings.
“So doesn’t this mean that everything that Ms. Lane worked so hard on before has gone down the
drain?” Benji said. It was, undoubtedly, good news since the Lane Holdings had targeted themrlo
some extent due to Hesper’s rtionship with them.
Now that Hesper was no longer managing thepany, it meant that Lane Holdings and the Duval
Group might be able to coexist peacefully.
Rickard frowned and fell silent.
The truth was that Hesper was ratherpetitive, and he knew what she had been nning to do the

entire time. She wanted to bring the Duval Group down, but her biggest reason was not even to seek
revenge against him. She just wanted to do more for the Lane Holdings and to bring
Renfrew home.
Meanwhile, as expected, Hesper was temporarily suspended from her position.
Although the result that day had left Wilfred dissatisfied, Hesper no longer posed a threat to him, and
he could still put on a show by pretending to be friendly. After some time had passed, he brought many
gifts to Hesper and said he wanted to apologize for what had happened before.
“You see, we’re still rtives. How can we speak ill of each other?” Wilfred said as he instructed his
men to put the things down.
After that, he turned around and smiled at Hesper. “Honestly, since you’re a girl, it’s better for to enjoy
your life at home rather than running around outside every day.”
