Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

The doorbell rang again.

Feeling completely drained, Vespera forced herself to answer it.

There stood Helen and Benjamin, their faces lighting up as they saw her.

Vespera was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions.

"Vespera, you're home!" Helen exclaimed with a wide grin.

She had recently heard from Wanda that Vespera had divorced Luke and walked away with billions.

Vespera had no children, was stunningly beautiful, intelligent, and wealthy-so what if she'd been married before?

In today's world, living together without marriage was completely normal. It was practically the same as having a boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Benjamin remained unaware of Helen's thoughts.

He had always liked Vespera-despite the years that had passed, she had never quite left his mind. "Vespera, my mom said Mrs. Gildon's been feeling a little dizzy lately, so I came by to check on her."

"...Please, come in," Vespera replied, wearing a gracious smile.

But inside, she felt utterly depleted.

As Helen and Benjamin entered, their eyes immediately landed on a middle-aged man sitting in the living room.

"Wanda, you have a guest?"

"Good day," Theodore greeted them with a warm smile, rising to his feet.

Helen had a knack for reading people.
