    Chapter 429


    “Hey…”


    Hesper did not see that someone wasing toward her, so she bumped into him. When she heard


    the grunt from that person, she took a step back and said, “I’m so sorry about that…”


    “Ms. Rivera?”


    A familiar voice rang out above her, prompting Hesper to raise her head. She saw someone who she


    did not expect to see at all.


    “Seth?”


    Leaning on the door, Seth frowned after he confirmed that the woman in front of him was Hesper.


    “What are you doing here? I thought you were in Emperion? Why did youe to Fredonia, and why

    do you want to learn kickboxing?”


    Hesper’s wildest dreams would she have thought she would run into Seth there. After the initial shock


    ebbed away, she suddenly realized something. “How did you recognize me?”


    She had changed her face. Seth had only seen her once, so how did he recognize her?


    “Umm… It’s because of your smell,” Seth said tly. “I have a sensitive sense of smell. I didn’t see your


    face either. I just recognized you through your body scent.”


    Hesper did not expect that her body scent would sell her out one day. But she did not even use her


    usual perfume orundry detergent, so what kind of scent was he talking about?


    “I’m sorry, if I had known from the beginning that the student Roberto mentioned was you, I wouldn’t


    have taken the job,” Seth said as he stepped back a couple of steps to keep his distance away from


    Hesper. “It’s dangerous here, Why didn’t you stay in Emperion, Ms. Rivera?


    It seemed to Hesper that Seth did not know what had happened recently.


    “Nothing. Just some things happened, and now I’ve been studying abroad in Fredonia recently,”


    Hesper said. Then, she realized something. “You said it’s dangerous here. Do you know something?”


    Seth shook his head and replied matter-of-factly, “Antellon is a high-crime city. Didn’t a murder case


    ur in the downtown area a few days ago?”


    “Alright…” Hesper carefully observed Seth’s expression, but she could not detect anything unusual, so


    she had to give up in the end.


    “Why don’t you want to take up the job? Do you hate me?”


    Seth was stumped for a moment, for he found it difficult to answer the question. After a short while, he


    shook his head and replied, “Not really.”


    ‘That means he hates me.’


    In fact, Hesper had noticed Seth’s slight hostility when they met for the first time. Therefore, she


    pressed on and asked, “Why do you hate me? Is it because I’m Nathaniel’s fiancee?”


    Seth fell silent.


    Seriously?


    This time, Seth did not keep silent and nodded. “Nate is the most Important family member to me.


    Before you came back, he only cared about me because I was his most Important family member, But


    after you came back, he began to like you more.”


    Hesper was speechless. She did not know how Seth woulde to such a conclusion.


    “But Nathaniel and I aren’t going to get married. Besides, I’m no longer his fiancee anymore. You may


    not be aware of what has happened recently, but I’m no longer a member of the Lanes.”


    Seth frowned when he heard what she said. “What happened?”


    ‘Seriously? Nobody told him about what happened?”


    “Aren’t you one of the Tuckers? Did no one tell you anything? Not even Nathaniel?”
