Every single word that came out of Juniper’s mouth was full of aggression, which was extremely off-
limits for television interviews.
The director’s expression changed instantly, and he immediately contacted Juniper through the
earphones. “Juniper, what kind of questions do you think you’re asking?! Look around you and remind
yourself of the occasion that we’re in! You’d better start to mediate the situation in there!”
In spite of the director’s warning, Juniper sat there and did not even budge.
‘I know very well that this is inappropriate, but as long as I can embarrass Hesper on national television
and radio, so what if it’s inappropriate?’
“Ms. Lane? Is it inconvenient for you to share that part of your life with us?”
The atmosphere of the entire video studio remained stagnant for a while. Many spectators who were
watching the show felt the delicate situation too.
Benji happened to be listening to the simultaneous live broadcast on the radio, and when he found out
that the interviewee was Hesper, he immediately brought his laptop to Rickard. “Mr. Duval, you should
see this.”
Under the attention of all the spectators and audience, Hesper’s scarlet lips parted slightly. “Oh my, I’m
surprised that TV station’s interviewers would actually include questions that pry into their interviewees’
private lives in their interviews nowadays.
“Yes, I did file a divorce from my ex-husband three years ago. As for the reason why I filed the divorce,
shouldn’t you, Ms. Wight, out of all
the people in Genecity, know it best?”
She sounded neither humble nor overbearing, and she straightened her posture, showing her fair and
delicate neck as she continued. “I didn’t plan to bring this up at first, but since you want to bring so
much aggression into this interview, I might as well share this story with everyone else. I got divorced
three years ago because my ex- husband had an ex-lover who stayed in my house more often than her
own home. She even maintained an exceptionally close relationship with my mother-in-law and sister-
in-law at that time. As for who this
ex-lover is…”
“Ms. Lane!” Juniper interrupted her immediately.
‘If she were to disclose this in public, that would be the end of my reputation and career.’
However, at this time, the other people in the studio gradually came back to their senses.
During these few years, rumors had been circulating in Genecity. Some people said that although
Juniper and Rickard were childhood sweethearts and each other’s first love, she tore his family apart a
few years ago, causing Rickard’s wife at the time to ask for a divorce in grief.
Now it seemed that the wife was their guest for today!
“Ms. Lane, you don’t have to talk about your private life on national television. I believe our spectators
are more curious about how you changed your last name and became one of the Lanes?” Juniper
cleverly changed the topic.
Hesper took a glance at her disdainfully.
‘She actually has the guts to try to embarrass me on national television? Juniper Wight, you’re no
match for me when it comes to this.’
But Juniper was right, most people really wanted to know how Hesper Rivera became Hesper Lane,
and Rickard was one of them.
He sat in front of the computer and squinted his eyes slightly.
In the next second, Hesper explained calmly, “Of course, I changed my last name because of my
relationship with the Lanes. Matthew Lane is my elder brother.”
“What?!”
“No way!”
Everyone watching the broadcast was surprised, including the people who were working at the scene.
This information was not even found and listed in the script.
Some spectators were even astounded.
‘Matthew Lane, the man who’s been dominating the business circle in multiple countries in the past two
years. It’s not an exaggeration to claim that he’s the man who was capable of turning the entire
Emperion City upside down. He turned out to be Hesper Lane’s elder brother?’
‘Doesn’t that make her…’
Juniper was astonished, and her eyes widened. “Impossible… How could you be Matthew Lane’s
sister?”
Seeing that the show was about to come to an end, Hesper could not bother to beat around the bush
anymore, and her expression turned cold in an instant.
“Ms. Wight, your question sounds so strange. Why can’t I be Matthew Lane’s sister? Ever since I took
the stage, you’ve been targeting me intentionally. Why so? Are you afraid that I’ll expose you as the Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
homewrecker who seduced my ex-husband? Or is this how your TV station treats all its guests?”
The amount of information that Hesper let out through the last few sentences was too much for anyone
to handle, and the scene got out of control for a while. The director had no choice but to urgently order
for the broadcast to be temporarily suspended and commercials to
be inserted.
