Chapter 53


    The next morning, Ryan woke up with a severe headache. He tries to recall things from thest, but could only remember he had


    gone to Roaxana’spany after drinking;ter she brought him home.


    He decided to call herter and apologize to her for troubling herst night. After he freshened up, Ryan prepared a herbal tea


    for himself to remove his hangover.


    He sat on the counter chair of the kitchen and sipped the tea. He checked his phone to check the messages. One was from his


    elder brother, rest there was nothing.


    As Ryan finished the tea, he felt better and he called Roaxana. “Why isn’t she answering? Has she already gone to her office?”


    Ryan murmured when the phone was finally answered.


    Morning, Roxy,” Ryan greeted her first.


    “Hmm. Good morning,” Roaxana greeted him back.


    “Did | trouble you a lotst night? You sound low. I’m so sorry for causing trouble for you. | should not havee to your office in


    that state.” Ryan felt guilty of his actions from the previous day. However, he still didn’t recall how he kissed Roaxana. He totally


    had forgotten about it.


    “Okay. I’m gettingte for work. I''ll talk to youter.” Roaxana hung up the call.


    Ryan looked at his phone and felt weird. Roaxana would never hang up on him like this. There was something definitely he did to


    hurt her. “I didn’t create any drama in herpany, did 1?” He mumbled.


    Ryan bit her bottom lip in apprehension and quickly sent an apology message to


    Roaxana.


    She, on the other hand, was annoyed to see his message. He didn’t remember at all what he didst night. But Roaxana


    decided to stay quiet. Ryan forgot that because he never intended to do such a thing with her.


    She kept the phone beside her on the passanger seat and started the engine before. driving to her workce.


    *Logan!” Hope rushed into his room with a dress in her hand. “Did you buy this for me? Aunt Cecilia said you did.” She looked


    overjoyed just to receive that dress from him.


    “Yeah, | did. You have a ball, so | thought you should have a better dress for it,” Logan

    “| love it,” Hope replied. “Will you apany me to the ball? Also, Gloria wants me to go to her house since she’s confused what


    she should wear. Can | go?” she asked for his permission.


    “I''ll try toe to the ball.” Logan didn’t rify her whether he could attend the ball or not. He still had an important task to do.


    “Who is Gloria? Is she trustable?” he asked.


    “She is my ssmate. Yes, she is trustable,” Hope answered.


    “Alright, then take the driver with you. He will drop you at Gloria’s ce. | won’t have breakfast here since I’ve an early morning


    meeting. See you in the evening, Logan said as he patted her head and left the room.


    Hope went after him and saw him entering the car. Logan lowered the window of the driver seat and said, “I''ll try toe to the


    ball, but | cannot guarantee it yet. Have fun and take this,” while forwarding his ck card.


    “| don’t need this,” Hope refused to take the ck card from him.


    “Keep it. It is yours anyway.” Logan ced it in her hand and waved at her before. driving away.


    He soon reached at thepany and attended his first morning meeting.


    An hourter, when Logan left the boardroom, an employee informed him about Kasper Ravenw, Hope’s father.


    “Paul bring him to me,” Logan said and headed to his office.


    Five minutester, Paul entered the office with Kasper.


    “Have a seat, Kasper,” Logan said after they exchanged formal greetings.


    Kasper pulled out the chair and settled on it. His condition didn’t appear good. His clothes looked nothing more than rags. Logan


    recalled how Hope was for the first time he saw her. She used to wear such shabby clothes.


    “Did you realize what you did to Hope, your daughter, all these years?” Logan asked. him.


    “| did. And I’m regretful toward my actions. | beg you to forgive me. Please ask Hope to forgive me, Mr. Moore,” Kasper again


    pleaded forgiveness.


    Last night when he received a call from Logan, he got the hope that Logan might give him, his family one more chance to prove


    themselves.

    “| don’t think Hope is ready to forgive you all. What you do to her for so many years is nothingpared to what happened to


    you three now,” Logan rified to him. He would hardly show mercy to anyone, except in a few cases where Hope asked him to.


    “Is Hope your real daughter?” Logan asked him a question, which made Kasper startle.


    “Y-yes. Why did Mr. Moore ask me something like that?” Kasper was puzzled a bit by that question.


    “I''ll ask one more time, Kasper. Say the truth and move to a life, where you were once,” Logan gave him the final chance. “Is


    Hope your real daughter?” he asked again.


    Kasper furrowed his brows together and answered. “Yes, she is my real daughter.”


    Logan was surprised to hear that, but he was relieved that Hope’s doubt of not being the Ravenw family’s daughter had


    clearedpletely.


    “Alright. You can leave,” Logan said.


    Kasper stood up from his chair and turned to go out when Logan asked, “Mr. Ravenw, what is Ka upto these days? | saw


    him with Daniel. Are they nning something?”


    Kasper shook his head. “No. Ka has nothing to do with Daniel, he refuted Logan’s ims.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Great! If your daughter hasn''t tried to kill Hope, you would not be in this state,” Logan asserted. “Sadly, | cannot do anything to


    bring you out of this misery. Show him the way out, Paul,” he instructed.


    After Kasper left with Paul, Logan leaned back on the swivel chair. “Why did Hope get such a message?” he murmured.
