novelxo Chapter 666
Rachael walked into her office and carefully closed her door. Celine was balled up in the corner and didn't dare look at her, so Rachael knew her identity was exposed. "There's no need to look at her, I guessed it." Hesper calmly sat on the chair. "Do you think it's hard to guess? You can fake a DNA test, but you can't be the real deal."
Rachael guiltily took a step back after hearing that but was still stubborn. "...what proof do you have? I'm part of the Lane family now and you're just a child born out of wedlock. How dare you question me." Hestia had the DNA test results between her and Matthew, but Matthew never exposed Rachael's identity, so he must have had his reasons.
Nonetheless, Hestia believed that Matthew wouldn't lie to her because, in the files, Matthew protected her even though he just picked her up from a random place, but he was never close to Rachael. Hestia didn't immediately speak and that made Rachael's heart drop.
At first, she thought her identity was undoubtedly exposed; however, seeing how Hesper only heard from Celine about her identity and that she didn't have a shred of evidence, it was different now. She raised her chin.
"If you don't have any proof, don't parade around here. I know Matt loves you more, but aren't you afraid that I would expose you to Grandpa and Matt?"
Hestia was very sure now that someone else was behind Rachael. Otherwise, even if she grew another brain, she wouldn't have come up with a plan to switch identities.
Celine knew Hesper well and knew she wouldn't say anything if it was just speculation. However, Rachael sounded so confident and didn't listen to her...
"It's all my fault. I betrayed you. None of this... has anything to do with Ms. Lane." Celine walked forward with red eyes. "I'm really glad to see you back alive. I'll work hard to repay what I owed you, Hesper..." Hestia avoided Celine when she tried to grab her hand. "I'm sorry, I don't know you well very. You can keep all that and say it to me when I get my memories back."
The air became tense again, so Jessie grabbed Hesper's hand.
"The studio belonged to Hesper and you bought it without her approval. Now that she's back, your agreement was voided."
Hestia nodded. Rachael started panicking and looked toward Celine. Celine didn't look at her.
"You're asking us to give the studio back to Hesper?" Rachael raised her tone. "Do you know how much I've spent on this studio? Why do you think you can just take it away?"
Jessie crossed her arms because she wasn't buying that. "This studio belonged to Hesper all along. You spent a lot of money but the studio isn't doing well. That proves that you can't manage it, so why won't you let it go?"
Hestia didn't really have time to manage the studio because 'Hesper' was the one with the talent for designing. Even though Hestia was just her without her memories, she wasn't interested in designing. That being said, nothing that belonged to her should go to anyone else, especially not her enemies.
"Hand the agreement to Kenji. If the agreement is void, I'll take back what belongs to me." Hesper looked at Kenji. "I'm sure the Duval Group would be able to fulfill my request for such a meagre matter?"
