A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love
Chapter 637

Matthew didn't seem surprised. Hestia preferred getting straight to the point, so she immediately replied. "Are you in Genecity? I think we should meet and talk about this."

"You're right." From her calm tone, Matthew could tell that this sudden revelation was just another problem she had to solve and nothing important to her.

After confirming the time and place, Matthew hung up and sighed.

He didn't expect the Hesper who grew up happy to be be so difficult.

When Hestia arrived on time, she saw that Matthew was already there.

"You're very early." Hestia raised her brows and sat down. She looked at her favorite coffee in front of her and could tell that they had a good relationship. However, 'Hesper Rivera' was too mysterious, so Hestia couldn't figure everything out.

"You might be curious about your past, but all I can tell you is about your family." Matthew smiled sadly and continued. "Half a year ago, when the incident happened, I didn't get to tell you about your real identity. I thought I lost the chance forever, but now you're here, sitting in front of me. This is a blessing to me."

Hestia frowned. "My parents said they found me by the lake. I had varying degrees of burn wounds. My mom was sick, so she hadn't left home in a long time. That was their rare trip in autumn. If they didn't bring me back, I would have been dead."

"By the lake?" Matthew frowned. "You were kidnapped and brought to an abandoned factory. The kidnapper lost his mind and set the factory on fire so he could die with you. The fire was uncontrollable. When my people put out the fire, you were gone and only the body of the kidnapper was found."

"Kidnapper..." ." Hestia repeated the word and then chuckled. "My life seemed to be very interesting."

She focused on the last word. Matthew didn't know where he should begin but luckily, Hestia didn't ask questions and avoided the topic. "So we used to live as siblings, but we just didn't know our actual family history, right?"

"Right."

Hestia nodded and looked into his eyes. "I have no memory of anything that happened in the past. Nothing you mentioned rings a bell... It would be difficult for me to see you as my brother, but I'll do my best to accept that I have a brother."

Matthew felt bitter, but seeing how sincere she looked, he nodded.

"Was Hesper an outstanding person?" Hestia started becoming interested in her past. "I could feel that I used to be someone who was good at managing companies. That's how I pretended to be... what do they call me? Ms. Lane?"

Matthew smiled and nodded. "She was very hardworking and brilliant. It only took her three years to learn how to run a company. Duval Group... If it weren't for some accident, Hesper would have taken Duval Group under Lane Holdings."

Hestia was surprised because, from the information about her past, she could tell that Duval Group was definitely a huge company in Halwanest. "Hesper would not be the morning glory who relies on men."
