Chapter 220
Three Puppies: The reunion will be on Wednesday and I’ve pinned the location here. Don’t forget to join. Our celebrity Ms. Sullivan will be buying, so don’t be shy
Michelle: Throwing me under the bus!
Hesper read a little longer and realized that everyone seemed to be worshiping Michelle. She raised her brows and left the group.
Jessie immediately called.
“Hesper, I’m sorry.” Jessie sounded guilty but Hesper was fine with it. Then Jessie said, “I’m so annoyed! Do you know how badly they were talking behind your back? They said someone saw you with two men in Emperion and said you looked promiscuous.”
“If I didn’t know that you and Rickard… They’re just crazy! Don’t they know that their words could ruin someone’s reputation?”
Hesper said it was fine but knew that they weren’t lying. They were just exaggerating.
She often went out with two men in Emperion. It was either with Isaac and Matthew or Nathaniel, or Matthew just had to give her another bodyguard.
But being promiscuous… was a lie.
“Alright, it’s fine. This has nothing to do with me anyway, but I’ll keep what they said in mind.” Hesper sounded calm, and that relieved Jessie. “You don’t need to worry about me. They can say whatever they want. It won’t affect my life. I don’t live my life according to what others think.”
Jessie hesitated then said, “I never got the chance to ask, but you and… Rickard, after you broke up, where did you go? You’re studying now and caring for Renfrew. It must be… tiring.”
Hesper didn’t realize that Jessie was worried about that and was touched.
“Don’t worry, I have enough money. Don’t be shocked when you find out.”
Hesper wasn’t trying to hide anything, but flashing her money at school would affect her life and the learning experience of others.
Since Lane Holdings was in steep competition, she didn’t want to add any more drama to it.
“So mysterious. Alright then, if you don’t want to tell me I won’t ask.”
After hanging up, Hesper checked her schedule. She had a dinner appointment on Wednesday, but shutting the old coursemates up was more important.
After postponing the dinner appointment, she checked the time and it was already two in the morning.
