    “One more thing. Nathaniel contacted me several days ago.”


    Hesper was stunned for a moment when she heard that name. Lowering her head, she said, “You


    didn’t tell him about my whereabouts, did you?”


    “Don’t worry, I know you don’t want the Lanes to know where you are. Mr. Tucker and the Lanes are


    close, so there’s a chance that he’ll tell your brother if he finds out your location,” Robert replied. He


    patted Hesper’s shoulder. “I didn’t lie to him though. I just told him that you’re still in Fredonia, that’s


    all.”


    Roberto had always treated his friends with sincerity. Hesper knew that he would not lie to Nathaniel,


    but she was very grateful that he was willing to cover up for her.


    “Thank you, Mr. Sanchez.”


    “Don’t mention it,” Roberto replied. “I noticed that you’ve been frowning a lot ever since you came to


    Fredonia. Actually, you don’t have to be so hard on yourself. You’ve already done a great job.”


    “Yeah, thank you, Mr. Sanchez,” Hesper said, offering him a smile.


    Roberto knew that Hesper was just entertaining him from the smile on her face, but he did not. want to


    say anything anymore. In fact, Hesper knew everything Roberto said. It was just that time did not allow


    her to take things slowly.


    After Roberto left, Hesper sat on the couch for a while and let her thoughts drift away. After a while, she


    took her phone out and hesitated for a moment before logging into her old ount. Perhaps she had


    umted too many messages for the past few months, so it was stuck on the homepage for a


    while. By the time Hesper got in, she realized that there were more messages than she imagined.


    Most of the messages were sent by Matthew, and thetest one was from that same day. Hesper


    lowered her head, but she did not dare to click and read them, fearing that Matthew might be waiting


    for her on the other side of the phone.


    She had been enduring it for a long time, and she was finally making some progress in her career. She


    would never forgive herself if she allowed her own effort to go down the drain because of a few


    moments of hesitation.


    Other than Matthew, Nathaniel was the one who sent her the most messages. Hesper read through his


    messages, and most of them were asking how she was doing. In addition, some of the messages were


    also about the Lanes as well as Matthew.


    Arthur fell sick again after he learned that Hesper had left and gone off the grid. The silver lining was


    that it wasn’t serious. Another piece of good news was that Wilfred did not manage to get any benefit


    after she left.


    As for Simon, after he was released from his grounding, Arthur sent him into thepany to assist


    Rachael inpleting the projects that Hesper had left behind.


    Hesper had already anticipated that Racheal would enter the Lane Holdings. After all, when they found


    her back then, she was sent Into the Lane Holdings to familiarize herself with the business of the


    It was just thatpared to Hesper’s dedication and quick adaptation, Rachael’s performance was


    quite average.


    However, Hesper did not really care about these things. It did not matter to her how thepany. was


    doing right now. Besides, she and Rachael were two different entities. When she was receiving


    education, Rachael was staying in a construction site.


    Comparatively speaking, she might be luckier than Rachael.


    Hesper paused for a moment when the thought surfaced in her mind. It took her a while before. she


    continued reading through the message.


    [Nathaniel: Matt has been working all day long. I hardly ever see him taking a rest. He’s also


    investigating Uncle Theodore, but Master Lane keeps him in a ce where we can’t find him.]


    ‘Uncle Theodore has gone missing too?”


    This was thest message.


    Hesper turned off the phone and frowned.
