Seeing Hesper's sincere expression, Lamarie did not hesitate any further and directly agreed. "There are many complicated matters regarding the Bernards, but since you've come to me, something must have happened." Lamarie knew something must have happened since she had been in the Savatiers for such a long time."I will compile some information for you regarding the family. But first, recap the process of your conflicts with me." Lamarie nodded, and Hesper proceeded to recount the events that had taken place. After hearing it, Lamarie instantly grasped the situation."You really know how to hit her sore spot." Lamarie could not help but smile. Though like others, Lamarie would politely address Delphine as the "Princess Elphie," deep down, she could not stand this arrogant princess. Every time Delphine appeared, bad things were bound to happen."You must have seen Ermine at the auction, right? She acts like a nouveau riche, but in reality, she's a commoner from outside the isla

"I want to ask him a few questions. I want to see him. Can you make that happen?" A hesitated and did not speak. Hesper leaned back in her chair, appearing indifferent. "If you can't treat me sincerely, then I won't be able to do anything you tell me to do. This is a simple and easy-to-understand principle. I hope you are a smart person."A still remained silent. Hesper knew that although A was hesitating it was unlikely for him to quickly understand and reveal everything in a straightforward manner. She decided to shut down all of A's words."Come back to me when you've figured things out. I hope that next time I'll get a definite answer from you."With that said, Hesper stood up and left A's sight.That day's conversation with A went exactly as Hesper had expected. When she entered the room, she found Rickard standing by the window. From that angle, he could clearly see her sitting with A just now.It seemed that Rickard did not just walk by."Are you done with your work?" He

As Hesper stepped out of the courtyard, she took a deep breath to regain her composure. If Rickard had known all along about her hidden agenda and chose not to expose it, it meant that he was allowing her to do as she pleased. On this secluded island, there were still things that remained a mystery, and she was unaware of what Rickard had been concealing from her.She needed to remain calm. In this place, her influence and power were far inferior to Rickard's. If she were to leave him, it would pose a question of whether she could still establish herself on the island. Despite it already being September when she arrived, the island maintained a perpetual spring-like climate."Rickard, can I still trust you?" Hesper contemplated, her mind filled with uncertainty.*Rickard was unsure of what Hesper was currently thinking. Furrowing his brows, he glanced at the time, feeling somewhat worried. If Hesper truly decided not to return, should he go after her? But if he were to do

Hesper fell into a pensive silence. She did not expect that Rickard had silently established his business on the island, especially in the form of auctions. The island's elites could not possibly avoid the auctions, which meant he had already secured a continuous flow of information and wealth. Previously, Rickard had pretended to be cautious and careful on the island, but now, Hesper realized that he likely knew more about the island than the Savatiers.The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Hesper could not help but glare at Rickard and let out a cold snort."So, this is what I've been hiding from you. Initially, I didn't intend to deceive you, but I just didn't know how to tell you," Rickard explained.To Hesper's surprise, she could discern the thoughts running through Rickard's mind, and she couldn't help but feel that they were both akin to two children in their behavior. The reason Rickard decided not to tell her anything was because he felt it was unfair as h

After countless days of inquiry and consulting numerous trustworthy physicians that associated with the Savatiers, it was astonishing that not a single one could utilize such a medicinal ingredient. The revelation that this particular herb had been acquired at an astronomical cost of $150 million only intensified their reluctance to experiment with it."Could it be that we can only rely on Hesper?" Sighing, Quincey cast his gaze upon the box before him. Everyone knew that the contents within held the potential to save his life, yet no one dared to make use of it."Do you think we can trust her?" Upon hearing Quincey's question, Juliette hesitated, shaking her head with a bewildered expression. "I don't know... Although Hesper and Rickard have proven to be reliable, they have only recently returned to us. I can't leave your fate in their hands." Quincey let out another sigh, visibly aging in an instant. "Even if we can't place complete trust in them, Hesper is our only hope.""

Hesper was a fast learner. She only had to go through the books Professor Miles gave her and would remember everything. She learned a lot of the clinical treatment methods before arriving at Leafdelle Island. Never would she have guessed that the first person she would treat was Quincey Savatier. "Grandpa, hold out your hand for me."Quincey put his hand out in front of her. Hesper checked his pulse and frowned. When A came to see her, he said Quincey's legs were hurt, but from his pulse, he was pretty much a dead man walking. He wouldn't be able to live much longer. Hesper, unable believe what she had diagnosed, frowned, but that was the reality of it. She thought she came to treat his legs, but now she would have to save his life. Seeing her expression, Quincey wasn't surprised, as he knew his body well. The drugs deteriorated his body, so he was slowly dying. Juliette couldn't accept that that was the truth. Other than his paralyzed legs, her father looked healthy. He l

Hesper didn't expect Quincey to let go of everything for his treatment, but it was good for her. She didn't want to break her promise to Rickard, so Quincey's cooperation was great. "I know how to use Vitalis, so don't worry." Hesper wasn't prepared because it was the first day. All Quincey had to know was that she knew how to utilize Vitalis. Waiting one day would be fine.Juliette walked them out, and at the door, she held onto Hesper's hand. "Thank you so much, Hesper. If not for you, the $150 million would have gone to waste."After finding out Rickard was behind all the bidding, Hesper fell silent. The $150 million probably went into his pockets anyway. That was why he called out the bid. The Rickard she knew would make it a slow burn. When he knew Ermine gave her highest bid, he would slowly add on to that so it became something she couldn't afford. They weren't wasteful people and they made every dollar and cent slowly. They wouldn't be too generous. "Even if we're not

Although Hesper didn't really know how profitable this tournament was, she knew it represented the Savatier's status. That meant Rickard had officially become part of the upper class of the Savatiers and Leafdelle. Rickard was a little surprised but not shocked. He just casually said, "Don't you think something feels off?""Off?" Hesper tilted her head and frowned. After some hesitation, she said, "The Savatiers are supposed to be a huge family. Even if Quincey only has one daughter, there should be other people he could ask for help.""Clever," Rickard said quietly. Hesper cleared her throat but Rickard didn't notice and continued. "Ever since I returned to Leafdelle, I've felt that the family is in distress. Delphine is able to bully them and everything is being handled by Juliette, who isn't the most capable person. It's very suspicious."Hesper was so focused on finding her father and helping Rickard get some power in the family, she hadn't noticed that detail. Now that she th

He had never anticipated that he would end up loving her so deeply.It could be said that amidst all the misunderstandings and complexities, their journey together had taken many winding paths."I wouldn't risk getting into trouble just to set off fireworks for someone I didn't even like," Rickard said, his voice gentle. "You dummy."His words were soft, but as Hesper listened to his explanation, she cleared her throat, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She had never imagined that the person she had loved so intensely in her youth had, at some point in their lives, secretly admired her.Hesper attempted to smile but ended up with teary eyes. Seeing this, Rickard reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "If it's going to make you cry, I won't say anything more."Hesper pursed her lips. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."Rickard, despite understanding her reluctance, couldn't help but reflect on the past and openly admitted to the emotions he had felt in his you

They were flooded with memories, and Hesper couldn't help but admit that she had been through so much with Rickard. Her eyes welled up with emotion.The livestream ended, as they couldn't maintain constant surveillance of their lives. Even though they hadn't gone home yet, the crew had left.In the past two days, people had gotten to know them quite well, so the crew decided to give them some alone time.Hesper sat in the passenger seat and stole a glance at Rickard. She couldn't help but say, "I never expected that the only time you were seen as making a mistake in Grandpa's eyes was because of me.""There are many things you don't know," he replied. Hesper raised an eyebrow and asked, "Like what? Tell me."Suddenly, Hesper recalled the countless times Rickard had looked at her. Yet, during those moments, Rickard had always had feelings for Juniper. She knew that was the reality, so she never expected that Rickard might have had the same strong feelings for her as she had for h
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
Hesper glanced at Rickard, who remained emotionless, but she still reached out to hold his hand.[This is tough to see. Both of Rickard's parents are no longer here… Sigh.][Hesper immediately checked on Rickard. If I were Rickard, I'd love her so much.]Ernest shook his head and remained silent as he flipped to the next page. Most of the pictures were of Hesper after that. She hadn't realized she had so many childhood photos. Julian appeared in some of them, too.Before everything went sour.Rickard didn't have many pictures. As he grew older, he became quieter.Most of them showed Hesper standing next to Julian, but there was something off about them.[Did you notice... In many of those pictures, Hesper was looking at Rickard, and in others, Rickard was looking at her.][Oh my god, is this puppy love? I had no idea!][I remember Rickard had another lover.]Hesper had noticed, too, but there was no need to remind people that Rickard used to hate her, so she dismissed it as a

Hesper and Rickard entered the room and awkwardly informed Ernest that everything had been live-streamed just now. Ernest was shocked, but upon hearing that it was something people do, he nodded."It's fine. There's nothing that others can't hear."Hesper pursed her lips and glanced at Rickard before saying, "We didn't expect the Summers to come and see you. You should move in with us so these people will leave you alone."If Ernest lived with them, no one would dare intrude because they represented power and influence.Who would dare challenge them?"I don't want to get involved in your life. Renfew and Renarie would keep you occupied enough."Hesper understood that he had already made up his mind not to live with them, so she didn't press the matter further.She could understand his concerns, as many things might become inconvenient. Besides, Ernest didn't want to disrupt their lives either."We'll be heading to Fredonia soon, so even though we have filming to do, we wanted t

So what if the cameras were still recording?"Was my son's life not as valuable as your son's?"If he had grasped this earlier, recent events might not have unfolded. Jade had a point.The live chat fell silent. Though they lacked the full backstory, they could deduce what had transpired in the past.[I heard Rickard lost his parents when he was a child. I feel sorry for him.][His parents died because of that incident. It's no surprise if he harbors resentment.][Truthfully, this old man has no shame. If my child were responsible for another child's death, I'd beg for forgiveness.]Everything unfolding before their eyes was purely coincidental, and no one had control over the situation. They could only watch and terminate the livestream immediately if anything escalated.Fortunately, Jade received a stern talking-to and refrained from discussing the matter further, but Mrs. Summers did not fare as well. Hesper and the others bore witness to her irrational behavior.[This is e

"We've known each other for years, Ernest. I saved your life once, and now your descendants want to take my son's life!"As they approached, Jade Summers was angrily berating Ernest before him. Hesper's countenance immediately turned frosty as she walked over to Ernest."You should conduct yourself more appropriately, Mr. Summers Sr."Jade was taken aback to see Hesper, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and fixed her with a hatred-filled gaze."If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You're just a woman. Since when do you get a say in the Duval family matters?"In the 21st century, people were all for equality. Besides, Hesper was no ordinary or unintelligent woman. Naturally, she had a voice in these matters.The viewers were inundated with comments when they heard Jade's words, and the live chat exploded.[Who is this guy? He looks old but lacks respect.][What's the argument about?][I sense some drama.]Rickard walked over. Jade had thought he

[Didn't Hesper mention that Mr. Duval Sr. took care of her? Maybe she did grow up well.][I'm certain she did. Hesper doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate mistreatment.]Hesper and Rickard were under constant surveillance throughout the journey, and they hadn't allowed Benji to accompany them. Rickard was behind the wheel, with Hesper in the passenger seat.During the drive, they remained silent, but to observers, it appeared as though they were in harmony.Upon arriving at the ancestral mansion, Hesper noticed other cars parked around and cast a curious glance at Rickard. Visitors to Ernest's home were a rarity."Sir, Ma'am, you're back," a young housekeeper greeted them. It was the same person who had assisted Wendy earlier, but they couldn't recall her name. Nevertheless, Hesper had faith in her.Noticing the housekeeper's troubled demeanor, Hesper deduced that the guest inside was likely unwelcome. However, she couldn't fathom who would disrupt Ernest's life. Given

Rickard noticed something in Hesper's expression, prompting him to ask, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"Being intimately familiar with each other wasn't always without its challenges. Hesper could never conceal anything from him.She sighed and replied, "It's nothing. Just that Pennleigh will also be on the list."Rickard fell silent.Hesper was aware that sometimes Rickard might not appear bothered, but Pennleigh's presence did bother him.Observing Hesper's awkward expression, Rickard lowered his gaze and suddenly took on a pitiful appearance, like a big dog caught in the rain.Yet, she knew he was merely putting on an act. Still, every time she saw him like that, she couldn't help but miss the Rickard who didn't engage in such playful antics. His character had undergone a change.Hesper found it amusing but didn't quite know how to express it. She sighed and added, "It's a fantastic opportunity. I know you'll let me go, right?"Rickard had no intention of inte

"Sullivan lied to her. He had her parents quietly killed. She found out after she turned her back on you."Benji lowered his gaze. "She was already dead when you came back. It was suicide."The conclusion lacked the weight necessary for such a betrayal. Hesper shut her eyes. The person she had trusted most was Renee. They had shared countless years together.Hesper acknowledged that their bond might not have been a genuine friendship. Renee had abandoned her when given the choice.However, Hesper had faced such situations before.Thankfully, there had been someone who had placed her first in their heart, reassuring her that she wasn't always relegated to being an option. Hesper stood in silence for a while before simply nodding.There was nothing she could do to aid Renee now. Renee had entered and departed alone, leaving no trace behind with Hesper.When the topic was broached, it weighed heavily on her heart. Hesper understood the situation but found herself at a loss for word
