Pennleigh was already a little annoyed, so Aelinor’s appearance at this time was obviously only adding
fuel to fire. He did not give off a friendly expression.
“Aren’t there servants who can help you with that? Why would I know where you’re staying tonight?
There are a lot of guests today. Pennleigh took a deep breath. He did not lose his head after all, but his
tone still sounded very cold. I’m going to look for Hesper.”
Aelinor bit her lower lip, stared at Pennleigh with her devastated gaze, and eximed instantly, Do you
know that Hesper was having an affair with our honored guest today? I saw everything at the garden
just now. The two of them even…”
Pennleigh’s gaze turned even colder. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“But I saw it all-!” Aelinor’s voice became louder, so Pennleigh covered her mouth. Fortunately, there
was no one around, and no one was paying attention to her from the distance.
Pennleigh breathed a sigh of relief. “Alie, shut up.”
Although Pennleigh’s voice had softened, Aelinor knew that Pennleigh was just trying to calm her down
and not let her say anything unfavorable about Hesper, so she looked at Pennleigh with her teary
eyes.
“But I really saw it…”
Pennleigh had a lot on his mind. In fact, he already guessed it. When he passed by for the first time,
something wrong was obviously going on between Hesper and Rickard. Although he was not very
happy about that, at the end of the day, he and Hesper only had a superior-subordinate rtionship.
Aelinor had always been a person who could not keep things to herself, not to mention that Pennleigh
did not know that this young girl actually had feelings for him. It was just that he was several years
older than Aelinor, and because the rtionship between their families had always been good, he had

always regarded Aelinor as a younger sister.
If Aelinor continued to go on like this, the matter would be revealed sooner orter. Pennleigh rubbed
his temples and then pulled Aelinor into a corner of the hall. “Forget it, I’ll be honest with you. Hesper
and I aren’t in a rtionship, and things are indeedplicated between her and Rickard, but it’s not
what you think.”
Aelinor’s eyes widened.
“You… You two are only putting on a show?”
When saying this, Aelinor finally remembered to lower her voice. Seeing Pennleigh nodding, a smile
reappeared on her face, while the tears of grievances disappeared instantly.
“So, you and Ms. Rivera are only putting on a show so that you can prevaricate Aunty Isobe. She’s
only your subordinate, right?”
Pennleigh responded with a hum, “Don’t tell anyone about this, or I’ll have to go on blind dates because
of my mother’s orders. If that’s the case, who I marry will no longer be up to me to

decide.
“I know, I know. I promise you that this secret will only rot in my stomach!”
When Hesper walked out of the kitchen, she saw Aelinor leaning against the corner of the wall,
ncing at her like a puppy.
Hesper was a little confused.
I haven’t seen her for only about half an hour. How can her attitude change so drastically?
“Uh… Rivera, I was at fault before this, so I’vee to apologize to you!” Aelinor’s eyes were
shimmering, and they looked full of vigor probably because she was still rtively young. “I already
know about the deal between you and Penn… But don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about you two!”
‘Oh, I see.”
Everything made sense to Hesper now. Aelinor disliked her before this only because she was
Pennleigh’s girlfriend, so now that she knew that she was only a fake girlfriend, it was only natural for
her attitude to change for the better.
“It’s okay, you’re younger than me, so what you do won’t bother me too much.”
“Good to hear that!” Aelinor came over and wrapped her arms around Hesper’s. “Actually, I like you
quite a bit, you’re really good-looking, and the perfume that you use smells good too. Can you tell me
what skin care products you usually use? I want to buy one set too…”
