novelxo Chapter 530
"The Tuckers?" Hesper shook her head and fell silent for a moment. "Investigate this matter carefully. Don't make it public until you have solid evidence." "Okay."
Renee had also realized that this matter was more complicated than it seemed on the surface. If the person Hesper wanted to investigate was related to the Tuckers, it must be because there were some suspicions in certain areas. If Jean was really one of the Tuckers, did that also mean...
Renee shook her head to cast the thought out of her mind.
Everyone could see how well Nathaniel treated Hesper, so how could he harm her?
Hesper stood in front of Jean's door for a while, but there was no sound inside. After a moment of silence, Hesper said, "Yohanna and Gabe don't know about your profession, do they, Mr. Yates?"
The person inside the door had been staying near the door the whole time. Hesper's tone was calm as she continued, "It's fine if you choose to hide, Mr. Yates, but when I find out the truth through my investigation, I'm afraid I won't be so polite anymore."
Jean continued to stay silent, but Hesper did not force him. She trusted Renee's work efficiency. It did not matter if Jean chose to speak or not today; she would find out eventually. Hesper's face was dark when she went downstairs.
If Jean was really one of the Tuckers and was instructed by Nathaniel to live near her... Then what role did Nathaniel play in the countless "encounters" and "accidents" in the past? Hesper had never doubted Nathaniel's feelings, but could it all be false?
Her finger hovered over the dialogue box with Matthew. After hesitating for a moment, she did not send anything.
'Maybe I've misunderstood. I should probably wait for a while,' she told herself.
Hesper had arranged to have dinner with Jessie on Sunday. On Saturday, she had success at Juniper's wedding, so she wanted to celebrate t.
"Do you even know how big of a deal this is?" Jessie said. "Nearly half of the people in Genecity know that you're River A. from Eustoma. When you left, you quit all your social media accounts, so you have no idea what people were saying about you back then."
It was true that Hesper did not know what other people were commenting when she left, but as a "secret illegitimate daughter" who had taken up someone else's place for so many years, it was possible that she had become the laughing stock of the whole city.
"Do you still remember Michelle? She openly and secretly accused the Lanes of cheating during the competition on social media. But no one cared about her, and not many people paid attention to her." There was no place for such an insignificant person in Hesper's memory. Michelle not only failed to cause her any trouble, but she also cursed at Juniper. She was not worth remembering.
"I came to find you because I want to set up a studio," Hesper said. "I have sufficient funding and designers, but only Renee is handling personnel and business. She's too busy to handle it all." Upon hearing this, Jessie's eyes sparkled as she looked at Hesper. "You want me to help you?"
Hesper nodded.
In fact, Jessie was very suitable for this kind of work. Compared to Renee, who was well-organized, Jessie was like a river that flowed nonstop. She was outgoing and enthusiastic, which was an essential quality in communication.
"Sure. If my dad knew I was going to work with you, he would be ready to pack me up and send me over."
Although the life of a teaching assistant was simple and leisurely, Jessie was not someone who would settle down for such kind of work. Being able to work and strive with Hesper was something she had always dreamed of.
Hesper had already guessed that Jessie would agree, so she sent the electronic contract to her first. "Take a careful look at the terms of the contract. If there is anything that you think is not appropriate, we can modify it. I'm not an evil capitalist who exploits employees."
