Hesper knew what he was trying to say. He wanted her to stay at home and stop thinking about going
back to thepany. As long as Hesper did ording to his wishes, Wilfred was willing to keep an
amicable rtionship with her.
Hesper gave a cold smirk.

Even though she no longer had the power to manage thepany, it did not mean that she had to
yield to Wilfred. On the contrary, she did not have to care about Wilfred’s thoughts anymore. In the
past, the reason she did not have a fall out with Wilfred was that she did not want to put Arthur in a
difficult position. Besides, taking care of apany was more difficult than she imagined, so she had to
maintain a good rtionship with everyone.
However, things were different now.
“Everyone here in this room knows what you’re thinking, so you can drop the act now, Uncle Will,”
Hesper said, offering Wilfred a smile. She pushed the things on the table back to Wilfred and
continued. “You can take these back. I don’t think I can ept these gifts.”
When Matthew heard the noise, he came out of the study and frowned. Looking at Wilfred, his -frown
deepened. “What are you doing here, Uncle Will?”
“I’m your uncle, so why can’t Ie here?” Wilfred did not expect Matthew to be home at this time; his
face sank. “Speaking of which, you aren’t siblings. If you continue to stay together, it might affect our
family’s reputation…”
“Uncle Will,” Matthew interrupted, his voice turning cold and his expression sinking as well. “You should
watch your words.”
Hesper did not expect Wilfred to say something like that. She scoffed angrily. “You know what they say,
‘what you think is what you see’. You have a dirty mind, so everything you see is dirty. If you aren’t here
to visit me, then you’re unwee here.”
Just when Wilfred wanted to say something, Matthew had already opened the door and was standing
on either side of the door with Hesper.
“Alright. I still have something else to do at thepany, so I’ll be leaving first.” Wilfred was reluctant to
go, so he decided to provoke Hesper by emphasizing the word pany. Before this, Hesper had
made so much effort to elevate all of the projects of the Lane Holdings, but now they had all be
someone else’s.
Hesper’s face was devoid of emotion. Thispany belonged to the Lanes, and she had known that it
was not hers from the moment she took over. Therefore, she did not have any issue returning it to them
that day.
She just couldn’t stand the sight of the smug smile on Wilfred’s face.
“Don’t worry. Grandpa Arthur knows Wilfred very well, so he’ll give those projects to someone other
than him,” Matthew said as he patted Hesper’s shoulder. “Even if he ends up getting those projects, I
have my own ways of forcing him to give them up.”
Hesper had a lot of confidence in Matthew’s ability, so she nodded. “Thank you, Matt.”
thew shook his head and sighed. “Honestly, I don’t know what’s wrong with Grandpa. You
were the one who got those projects. You pulled so many all-nighters and put so much effort into them.
How could he hand them over to others so easily?”
Even If Hesper was just one of their employers, they could not take these projects away from her.
“I think Grandpa Arthur still has some doubts In his heart. Although he’s old, I’m sure he knows what
he’s doing.”
Hesper had actually figured out a lot of things in the past few days. There were too many
problems that had been overlooked by her in the past three years, and now, since she was free, she
finally had the time to think about them.
Matthew fell silent for a moment before he asked, “What are you going to do now?”
