novelxo Chapter 522
Very soon, Hesper arrived at the accommodation that Renee had arranged for her. After she had organized all of the things she brought with her, she threw herself on the couch and took some rest. Renee was always capable of accomplishing the task she gave her splendidly. The apartment was located in a wonderful spot, and it was very near to the apartment she used to stay in before. Hesper was very familiar with the surroundings, so it was very easy for her to blend in.
As soon as she got off the plane, Hesper found Juniper's wedding invitation in her mailbox.
Juniper and Carter's wedding was going to be held that Saturday. Hesper had not had no time to investigate their situation carefully before. In any case, from Carter's profile, she found it difficult to believe he would be tied down by Juniper and marriage.
With that thought in mind, Hesper logged on to her social account that she had not accessed since she took a glance at it last time.
As expected, there were many messages; most of them were from Matthew and Nathaniel. Matthew's messages stopped at the day he met her, but Nathaniel persistently sent a message every once in a while It seemed to her that Matthew had not told him that he had found her.
Wrought by a surge of mixed feelings, Hesper continued to scroll downward until she saw a message that was ignored by her a long time ago. It was a message from Ariana.
She was stunned for a moment before she suddenly remembered her deal with Ariana. Ariana told her that she would inform her if Juniper had any plans against her. In exchange, she had to let Juniper go. Raising an eyebrow, Hesper opened the dialogue box with Ariana.
[Hesper: Your message is well received. I appreciate your wise judgment, Mrs. Wight. You have my words.]
After carefully reading all the messages sent by Ariana, Hesper had to admit that Juniper had done a lot while she was away. If it were not for Arianai's warning, in the current situation, she and Rickard might have suffered some losses.
That being said, Ariana had made the right decision. This was because no matter what Juniper did, she was still under Carter's control, and the best outcome in the end might be a lose-lose situation. Although Hesper had never believed that Carter would remain faithful to Juniper, she still felt that Carter was even more cruel than she had imagined after seeing what Ariana had said. Everything was staged by Carter from the beginning.
Carter had been wooing her for a long time, yet she refused to reciprocate his feelings, so he took advantage of her when her drink was spiked. After all, he was always indiscriminate when it came to his pursuers, not to mention that Juniper did have a pretty face.
Carter did not plan to be responsible; he was just going to run away. However, on that same evening, his father suddenly brought home an illegitimate son, who had graduated from a prestigious school and was a year younger than him but was better than him in every way.
Carter was well aware that with his reputation, if his father really had the intention of changing the heir, he would definitely not be able to compete with the illegitimate child. However, because he was still his father's legitimate child, his position would not be threatened in the short term.
A lot of thoughts crossed Carter's mind in the few minutes after answering the phone. After that, he turned back to look at Juniper, who had always had a good reputation in their social circle. Suddenly, he felt that marrying Juniper seemed like a good choice.
Although the Wights were going down the hill, they were still a prestigious family, not to mention that Juniper was a woman he had once liked. No matter how he thought about it, it seemed like a good deal. With this thought in mind, Carter was affectionate towards Juniper, wanting to get married as soon as possible and stabilize his father.
Hesper cleared her throat. Ariana must have investigated all of this and been suffering in pain for a long time. The only thing that Hesper wondered right now was whether or not Juniper knew that everything was staged by Carter.
