A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Even though Hestia felt sorry, she couldn't remember anything related to Mr. Lane. Even though she was sure the man wasn't lying, she didn't feel anything.

To her, anything before her memory loss felt so far away as though it was a different life. Hestia was happy with who she currently was, so if she didn't bump into these 'people from the past', she wouldn't want to know who she was before.

Hestia suddenly regretted coming to Halwanest. She hid her trip from her parents. If they knew she caused trouble here, she was going to be locked up.

She pouted then tapped her chin.

Among all the people there, why did she only react to Rickard? Did she use to be in love with that man?

"Hesper..." Saying the name out loud, Hestia felt that it sounded unfamiliar as if she was calling a stranger's name. "Now that I know the name, it should be easier for me to dig for more information."

When Sylvie got a call from Hestia, her heart almost burst out from her chest.

"You're in trouble, aren't you?"

Hestia was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Am I a troublemaker to you? I just want you to help me look into a person. Hesper Rivera, I think she's from Genecity."

When Sylvie heard that Hestia wasn't in trouble and didn't need her help to resolve anything, she sighed with relief.

"I'm glad you're not in trouble. I'll get someone to start the investigation." Sylvie returned to her usual calm self and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Deschamps found out that you're in Halwanest. They didn't say anything except to say that they hope you won't cause trouble."

Hestia knew that she had a reputation as a troublemaker, so she didn't want to argue with Sylvie. "Get the information for me as soon as possible. Also... don't tell my parents about this." "Alright," Sylvie said.

Even though she started working with Hestia not too long ago, her first order was to do whatever Hestia said, to help her, and to follow her orders. That was her job.

After Hestia hung up, she arranged for someone to get a DNA test for her and Matthew.

Unlike anyone else, if he was indeed her biological brother, Hestia would have more to consider. Matthew didn't look like he was lying, so it was highly possible that in the half a year since her disappearance, there were people who missed her.

Although Hestia loved her current parents, she couldn't be selfish.

As for Rickard Duval...

Hestia looked at the partnership agreement between the Deschamps and Duval Group. She didn't want to let the Duvals have any profit, but the agreement was signed by her parents a while ago, so if she changed it now, it would trouble them.

After mulling over it, she decided to use a different approach.

Early the next day, Hestia waited outside Duval Group.

Looking at this grand building before her, she felt content. This building was so well-known that she just had to mention it and the cab driver immediately knew where it was. It was obvious how well-known the company was.

"Ms. Lane..."

The receptionist was shocked when Hestia walked into the building. "You're finally back!"

Hestia repeated her new name in her heart. She used to be called Hesper River, but her brother's last name was Lane... Everyone was calling her Ms. Lane, so would that mean they knew she was Matthew Lane's sister?
