That was so greedy. Hesper scoffed in her mind but didn't show it in her face. She nodded. "Alright, I'll do it, but Quincey is very cautious. Although I could do something with his medication, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to get out of it. Give me a month."A month wasn't too long or short. A hesitated then nodded. "Alright, a month. If you need any help, just stick a branch in the flower pot in front of the garden. I'll show up the next day. Oh? Hesper's eyes flashed. She could contact A anytime with this method, so she could get more information. A looked around and quickly disappeared from her line of sight. Seeing him disappear, Hesper calmed down and lowered her gaze. It didn't matter who A really was. What she could be sure of was that her father wasn't on his side. If that wasn't the case, to stop her from suspecting them, her father would have shown up and met her already. In a month, she would be able to heal Quincey and become a hero of the family. All

"The tournament is starting soon and Delphine loves the crowd. Since she's the most likely to win among her peers, the Bernards are all overly proud and let Delphine do whatever she wants." Lamarie pouted after saying that. "You don't know how proud she looked just now. I've never been good at combat, so she doesn't remember me. I snuck out to deliver some intel while there was a huge crowd."Lamarie played her part well as an ally. Confirming that Delphine was at the training grounds, Hesper wanted to immediately head over. "Hold on!" Lamarie stopped her. Hesper paused, then stood on the spot looking confused. "Anything else? Rickard isn't at the estate, so there's no need to see her."Hesper usually looked pretty clever, so why was she suddenly so slow?Lamarie clenched her jaw; she was rooting for Hesper. "She dressed up like a peacock when she showed up. The bag that she had cost almost six figures."Hesper nodded. "Okay, so?"Lamarie took a deep breath. "So you're just go

"Hesper Rivera, watch that sarcastic and cynical tone of yours."Just by looking at Hesper’s smiling face, Delphine could not help but want to stride up to her and tear her face off her head, not to mention the impertinence that she was blatantly giving off.Delphine could never gain an upper hand over Hesper whenever it came to trash-talking, coupled with the fact that Hesper had managed to poke her where it hurt the most before. Now that they were standing next to each other, even though she was the one who was gracefully and gorgeously dressed, she still somehow felt that she had been overwhelmed.It only took Hesper one glance to see through what Delphine was thinking. She did not even bother wasting time on Delphine—— Among all the women who had fallen for Rickard up until today, Delphine was actually the one who was the least scheming. She had nothing on Hesper apart from her extremely esteemed family background."The Grand Interfamily Tournament is just around the corner, He

All Rickard did at this moment was stare at Hesper as she analyzed everything with a frown.Hesper went on for a while and realized that Rickard was not even paying attention to what she was saying but staring at her face instead. He probably wasn't listening to anything that she was saying at all, so she could not help but feel a little helpless. "Then do enlighten me. What should we do if the hidden foundation that you’ve spent a great effort building from the ground up were to be exposed?"Hearing Hesper’s words, Rickard came back to his senses. "There’s nothing else I can do. All I wanted was to come back as fast as I could so that I could see you soon."If it was someone else, Hesper would probably feel that this person was only being glib and flirtatious, but the person in front of her was Rickard, so whatever came out of his mouth was surely authentic.‘This fella didn’t even hesitate to risk exposure, just so that he could come back to see me two days earlier.’Realizing t

Hesper arrived a little late that day, but Quincey did not delve into the reason. And because of the trust that had been accumulating in the past few days, Quincey lowered his guard slightly, so he did not even notice the momentary absent-mindedness that flashed across Hesper’s eyes.It had always been clear to Hesper that A was a cheat whose sole objective was to take advantage of her—— But now she knew she could meet her father.Although she was a little absent-minded, Hesper had already gone through all the details of the treatment earlier that morning, so the state of her mind did not delay anything. The treatment went on until the evening when she left in a daze.On her way back, Hesper picked up her scattered emotions so that Rickard would not see anything unusual.‘Until I meet Father, I still can’t be sure that A hasn’t lied to me.’Hesper comforted herself inwardly.In the blink of an eye, the Grand Interfamily Tournament had finally arrived."You should be extremely ca

‘But this is about right... Rickard doesn’t seem to be the kind of man who’d be nervous during such critical times.’After punishing herself with a shot for worrying too much, Juliette could not help but take a deep breath to relieve the tension in her chest. Although she thought of comforting Rickard, she was the one who needed comforting.Although there was basically no hope for the Savatiers in winning that year’s Grand Interfamily Tournament, this was Juliette’s first time appearing in front of the other major clans as the backbone of the Savatiers, and she was in charge of leading the family at this competition. Seeing how Rickard behaved so calmly by her side, it made her feel a lot more steady deep down subconsciously."There’s no need for you to worry about Delphine. She won’t have the guts to act so presumptuously in another few days." Juliette sounded rather secretive. "Since the Mustafas are going to arrive here tomorrow."Rickard already knew a thing or two about Leafde

At this moment, Hesper suddenly felt a little ridiculous.As if he finally sensed Hesper’s emotions, Benjamin explained, "I wasn't always able to move as freely as I currently can. I was locked up by the Savetiers until two months ago, so I couldn’t send any news back to the Lanes before."Hearing this, Hesper lifted her gaze. "Are you saying… that the Savatiers are the ones who locked you up?"Benjamin nodded.Hesper frowned. "Are you sure? Did the Savatiers really lock you up? And if so, who did it?"Hearing Hesper’s words, Benjamin gave off a faint smile. "What’s the matter? Don’t you believe in what your father is telling you? You’ve only stayed with the Savatiers for a month, so can you be sure that you really know the Savatiers and Quincey Savatier as well as you think you do?”Hesper was silent for a moment, knowing that her understanding of the Savatiers was probably only superficial. However, during her time with the Savatiers, she indeed had gradually and subconsciously

It was probably time for Benjamin to leave, so he did not say anything more and left the courtyard in a hurry.Seeing Benjamin’s figure disappear from her line of sight and into the darkness, Hesper finally dropped her disguise and sat down on the couch without moving a muscle for a while, feeling a little bewildered.Benjamin’s words had started to affect her thoughts. She subconsciously felt that he was hiding something from her. But he was her father by blood after all, and according to everyone’s previous descriptions about him, Benjamin had always loved his wife and child very much, so he would not have lied to her.‘So, the hallucinogenic drug incident from back then... Do the Savatiers really have something to do with it?’...The next day, it was almost time for the Grand Interfamily Tournament to begin.The legendary Mustafas arrived at the venue late, arriving only minutes before the start of the straws drawing ceremony. And when they arrived, Rickard and Juliette were

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

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
