A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Chapter 380

The amount was manageable to Hesper. She shook her head and was honest. "I came here today because I need your help.”

"Alright, go ahead. I'll do my best to help."

Hesper stood on the spot and said, "I want to know who sponsored me. Maybe I had a friend when I was a child who wasn't Julian."

The director hesitated. She didn't have to check her records to remember who Hesper's sponsor was. However, when the person gave them the money, the biggest request was not to tell Hesper their identity even when she became an adult.

"Your expression shows that that person is very special and didn't just randomly sponsor me. There must be something behind that." Hesper's voice was clear.

She had thought about it a lot. Even her surname, Rivera, was given by the sponsor, and Rivera ..... wasn't a unique last name where she was from.

"You told me that I was abandoned outside the orphanage. I never questioned that." Hesper sighed, then softened her tone. "I just want to know my past. If you know anything, please don't hide it from me." The director sighed and her eyes darkened. "You're older now and brighter."

They walked to her office and she closed the door then asked Hesper to take a seat.

"I don't know a lot about what happened in the past, but you weren't abandoned in front of the orphanage." The director looked guilty. "You came back to see me a few years ago and I thought that I'd be able to hide it from you for your entire life. That was why I felt extra guilty when I received money from you."

Hesper listened intently and didn't interrupt, so she continued.

"You might not know the person who dropped you off, but I'm sure you've heard of her."

Before the director told her, Hesper already had the answer.

"Yolanda Chisolm."

"... Yes. You're a lot smarter than I imagined." The director opened up her old financial records. Nothing was recorded digitally, so all the donations were written in a book. It said that the person who sponsored Hesper was Yolanda.

Hesper looked at the records that lasted for ten years and asked, "Didn't Yolanda Chisolm die when I was eight? How did she keep donating after that?"

"Um..." The director was surprised at how calm Hesper was after finding out about her past. She explained, "Yolanda did visit every year at first, but after her death, a man would visit instead, and sometimes a boy would come with him."

Were they Theodore and Shawn Lane?

"Alright, thank you."

The director shook her head. "I'm sorry. You have the right to know about your past."

Hesper could tell that the director might have thought that she was Yolanda's daughter because there was news about her having children out of wedlock. She was the hottest star at the time, so she had reasons to hide her child's identity.

However, she knew she couldn't be her child.

Shawn got to stay with Theodore, so if she really was the daughter of Yolanda and Theodore, there was no reason to leave her at the orphanage.

Even though the director made a mistake, it was so long ago, so Hesper would let it slide.

After walking out of the orphanage, Hesper looked up at the bright sun. It was rare that the shine shone so brightly in winter. It didn't feel hot even when it shone on her face.

She seemed to be part of a huge conspiracy. Simon who knew about her identity had an inexplicable gripe with Rachae Lane. Theodore seemed to be the only one who knew her true identity.
