Chapter 391
The reason Arthur believed in them was due to some preconceived notions, but everything that happened that night was absurd in Hesper’s point of view. She did not believe a single word of what Simon and Theodore said.
“But the paternity test result can’t be fake, and Aunt Helen wouldn’t stand on your side for no
reason. Obviously, the things that happened tonight took her by surprise as well,” Matthew said, ” She must have done the paternity test a long time ago. It’s only after the truth was revealed tonight that she hesitated about whether it was more beneficial for her to disclose the result or
not.”
Hesper was stunned for a moment before saying, “So… I’m really one of the Lanes? I’m really Grandpa Arthur’s granddaughter and your biological cousin sister?”
Matthew nodded, his eyes finally showing a hint of warmth. “Hesper, we hit the jackpot in this gamble tonight.”
The tears that Hesper had been holding back the whole night finally rolled down her cheeks. She threw himself into Matthew’s arms. “I must be the luckiest person in the world, Matt…”
In the past, she had no family, no lover, and no friends. It was Matthew who held her hand and brought her out of despair. He was the one who gave her an identity and a new life.
Right now, this person turned out to be her cousin brother with whom she shared a blood
relationship.
The Lane Manor was in chaos. Rachael was found and Hesper went from being a legal heir of the Lanes to an illegitimate daughter. That being said, Arthur adored her very much, so her identity did
not matter.
Very soon, Rickard received the news. Benji could not help but sigh. “I didn’t expect Ms. Lane’s life. was so full of twists and turns. But luckily, it all ended well for her.”
However, Rickard fell into pensive silence when he received the news. After a short while of hesitation, he said, “I feel like there’s something off about this. There may be more to the matter.”
Rickard frowned and fell silent.
The truth was that Hesper was rather competitive, and he knew what she had been planning to do the entire time. She wanted to bring the Duval Group down, but her biggest reason was not even to seek revenge against him. She just wanted to do more for the Lane Holdings and to bring
Renfrew home.
Meanwhile, as expected, Hesper was temporarily suspended from her position.
Although the result that day had left Wilfred dissatisfied, Hesper no longer posed a threat to him, and he could still put on a show by pretending to be friendly. After some time had passed, he brought many gifts to Hesper and said he wanted to apologize for what had happened before.
“You see, we’re still relatives. How can we speak ill of each other?” Wilfred said as he instructed his men to put the things down.
After that, he turned around and smiled at Hesper. “Honestly, since you’re a girl, it’s better for to enjoy your life at home rather than running around outside every day.”
