A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 

Jessie did not hesitate and ordered a cup of coffee that she thought would be exceptionally. delicious but was too expensive for her before. 

“Although it looks delicious, it’s just a cup of coffee. This is so not necessary!” 

Recalling Jessie’s righteous statement from the past, Hesper could not help but feel helpless. She queued right behind Jessie, paid for the coffee, and then sat down in a corner with Jessie. 

Jessie thought she was a little dumb and naïve when she gave the whole thing a deeper thought. 

‘Hesper was able to get married to Rickard Duval, so how could she just be a girl from an ordinary family? Now that I think about it, although Hesper was very low-key when she was studying with. us four years ago, she was never short of money. 

‘Four years ago, none of our purchasing power was as good as it is now. My monthly living. expenses were not low at that time either, and I wasn’t at the standard where I could buy whatever I wanted–” 

“That’s because I used to work part-time secretly.” Hesper, seeing Jessie’s confused expression, knew what was on her mind and explained helplessly, “The Lanes only found me three years ago… I was indeed an orphan back then. It was Rickard’s grandfather who adopted me from the orphanage when I was still a kid, took me into the Duvals, and raised me all these years.” 

“Oh yeah…” In the past few days, the public’s attention had been so focused on the fact that Hesper was the long-lost daughter of the Lanes that even Jessie had forgotten that Hesper once told her that she was an orphan. 

“But isn’t this fate? I heard that the Lanes are currently in a business war with the Duvals. Is that 

true?” 

Hesper’s iced coffee was served sooner. She then took a sip and nodded. “I’m now in charge of some of Lane Holdings’ business activities in Genecity. Apart from being at school, I’m also 

working in the company too, which is why I’m so busy.” 

Jessie’s eyes widened. 

‘So when Hesper told everyone about her “tiny business” during our class reunion, she was. referring to the enormous Lane Holdings? Can the deviation be even more colossal than that?! 

‘It’s no wonder no one ever thought that Hesper’s family background would be this prominent. In all fairness, Hesper has never shown up on any occasion, acting like the daughter of a wealthy. family. She also doesn’t show off what she owns. She’s managing a multinational company like. Lane Holdings in Genecity, but it got turned into “a small business” when she explained it to us the other day.’ 

Jessie knocked her own forehead with her knuckle and said after a while, “How can you be so magical and mysterious all the time? Hesper Rivera, it seems I really lack imagination when I’m by your side…” 

“Oh really?” Hesper put down the cup in her hand, sighed, and looked outside the window of the cafe. The cafe was a building made out of glass, and sunlight could easily shine through the window. and into the open space right beside Hesper. She lowered her head and murmured, “I wish that everything could have stayed ordinary and as it was back then, and nothing ever happened.” 

Hesper then went to see Professor Jenkins. He sorted out the deficiencies that she had shown. throughout the tournament and explained them to her. Hesper listened to everything he said and thanked him gratefully. “Thank you, Professor Jenkins, I would have made those mistakes again in the next round if it weren’t for you.” 

“Alright, just do your best.” Xavier waved his hand. “The only issue with you is you don’t have any intention to fight for things in life. I was most afraid that you’d act like this during the competition. Thank God that you’ve performed well in the recent few rounds.” 

Hesper was relieved when she heard what Xavier had to say. “I was worried that I was not doing. well enough.” 

“You’ve been doing good enough. Please don’t tell me that you plan to use what you’ve learned in these two and a half days to go against people who have done years of research and studies,” Xavier responded bluntly. “You might be a talented seed in the fashion design field, but you’re not the only one. So remember to always stay humble and learn as you move on. That’s the only secret that’ll help you go further in this career.” 

“Yes.” Hesper agreed. 

The two of them then went on to discuss the possible routines that the organizer might take in the next round of the competition. Xavier had gone through Hesper’s latest manuscripts and was just amazed at the speed of the progression that she had been making. 

In fact, when Hesper came back to resume her studies in college, Xavier had not thought very highly of her.
