Chapter 347Chapter 347
“I’m coming.” Hesper turned to hold Celine’s hand and nodded at Rickard. “I’ll take good care of Ren. If
you want to see him, I won’t request anything.”
“…” She had to hint at something before she left.
Rickard felt helpless as he watched the two ladies walk away.
Celine was curious, but hearing what Hesper said to him, she could tell that they weren’t just friends.
After spending time with Hesper, Celine knew that she wasn’t a petty person, so she asked, “Who was
that? It looked awkward between you.”
The spotlight was on Hesper during the party. Roberto announced that she was going to take her as his
student, which meant that she was going to have a bright future in the industry.
Hesper had lost interest in fame. After staying with the Duvals for a year and then three years with the
Ads by PubFuture Lanes, she learned not to judge.
People would usually bow down to those that were powerful and avoid those who had fallen from
grace. If she didn’t have status, she wouldn’t be treated well.
Learning more from Roberto was what she looked forward to.
Shawn was the fourth place winner, but he was still outstanding since he managed to outdo so many
other people.
He was quiet during the after-party. Hesper would catch glimpses of him in a corner. She wondered
what was going through his mind. She looked over again and her eyes met his.
In that moment, bizarre scenes flashed across Hesper’s mind, but it lasted for a second. Her head
ached for a bit, then everything just disappeared like the wind and she couldn’t remember what she
saw.
Ads by PubFuture Hesper frowned.
What was that? She never met Shawn before the competition.
When she looked up again, he was no longer in the corner. Hesper grabbed Celine who walked past.
She was next to him a moment ago.
“Did you see where Shawn went?”
Celine was surprised that Hesper suddenly asked her that, but since she was a Lane and so was
Shawn, it didn’t seem weird.
“He said he didn’t feel well, so he left. I thought you knew.”
“Oh…” Hesper looked down, going into deep thought.
The previous time Shawn met her, she thought that something was off. He seemed to know her very
well, as if they knew each other, but she had no memory of him.
This unsettling feeling agitated her, but since Shawn was the only child of Theodore, and Shawn was
the only thing the person he loved most left for him, Shawn had a heavy weight in Theodore’s heart.
Hesper didn’t know Theodore that well. Other than Helen Lane and Wilfred Lane who kept
stepping on her toes, she didn’t know any of the Lanes well. “I guess I have to do something the next time I go back to Emperion.”
