When it came time to draw lots, Ranfik appeared in front of the public once again. In order to establish a better image for Rickard, Juliette asked him to go out there to draw lots. That was how the two met each other again.Ranfik still had his polite look, and the corners of his lips curled upward when he met Rickard’s gaze. "We meet again, Mr. Duval.""We’re all here to take part in the Grand Interfamily Tournament, so don’t you think it’s rather difficult for you two to not meet each other while we’re here?" Sharmila passed by, looking a little dissatisfied. "Cut all this crap and come to me after the ceremony is over."At Sharmila’s rude choice of words, there was not even the slightest hint of anger on Ranfik’s face. It looked as if he was very lenient and doting to his sister as he nodded helplessly.As soon as Sharmila left him be, Ranfik turned his head around helplessly. "That was very rude of my sister. I hope you won’t mind her, Mr. Duval."Rickard looked at Ranfik and

With her mother and Hesper absent this time, Delphine knew she had to seize the opportunity to get Rickard. Even if there were members of the Mustafas, it would not make a difference. Otherwise, she might never get another chance in the future!With this in mind, Delphine stood up and walked out of the room, heading towards Rickard's room."Rickard..." she called out. As she stood hesitating at the door, she suddenly caught sight of Ranfik standing at the corner expressionlessly. She had no idea how long he had been watching her from there.Delphine instinctively felt fear whenever she saw Ranfik, especially now that he wore such an emotionless expression. It only intensified her sense of dread. "Mr… Mr. Mustafa," she stammered.Observing Delphine's reaction, Ranfik could not help but let out a faint chuckle. "What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm going to harm you."As his laughter echoed through the air, its chilling quality pierced Delphine's soul, causing her to tremble

"Don't worry. I know what to do," Hesper replied without revealing much emotion. However, her unwavering determination in her words left Benjamin with nothing more to say. He could only nod in response. "Very well, I'll be waiting for your good news," he said.After Benjamin left, Hesper retrieved the pre-prepared medicine from a drawer. According to the plan, once Quincey finished this final dose, he should make a complete recovery. However, Hesper reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a small vial.By adding the contents of this vial, the effects of the Vitalis would be nullified. If Quincey were to die, it would appear as if the treatment had simply been ineffective, a failed attempt to save him. Hesper gazed at the small vial, murmuring softly, "Rickard, it seems I'll be breaking my promise to you."With a sigh, she closed her eyes, unaware of the fleeting shadow that darted past the window.*The Salvatier family's performance in the tournament was indeed dismal. No

"You're more perceptive than I anticipated." Ranfik chuckled lightly as his expression turned cold. "Even if you possess such keen intuition, what good will it do? Unless you return today, Quincey's fate is sealed."Rickard sensed that something was amiss and quickly returned to the room to call Hesper. However, he could not get through to her.His countenance grew colder. Rickard was now certain that his apprehensions were not unfounded. Something must have happened when they left. Hesper was either in danger or deliberately avoiding his call.Regardless of the reason, he had to go back immediately.Stepping out of the room, Rickard suddenly caught sight of Juliette approaching him with an anxious expression. Spotting Rickard, she hurriedly closed the gap and ushered him into the room."What's the matter?" Rickard asked.Juliette took a deep breath and lowered her head. "It seems that the tournament may not end so easily this time. There's been a sudden development regarding the

Meanwhile, Hesper walked silently into Quincey's room. There were no servants along the way, making the entire process unusually quiet. Hesper pushed open the door, and Quincey turned his head."Hesper?"Hesper nodded, her face expressionless as she gazed at Quincey. Her eyes appeared like a still pool of water, devoid of any ripples. Quincey looked at Hesper with some curiosity, sensing her unusual demeanor today."What's the matter?""Nothing," Hesper responded, her steps carrying her closer to him. The curtains were drawn and there was no light in the room, rendering Quincey unable to discern the emotions etched upon Hesper's face. Without dwelling on it, he sighed, his voice tinged with a hint of sentimentality, "Today marks the final day.""Yeah." Hesper handed over the medicine. "Today is the last day."*On the other side, Lamarie's complexion paled when she learned that she was going up against Delphine in the upcoming match, but there was nothing she could do. Juliette

If it were not for the fact that he could alter his appearance to look like Benjamin, Hesper's intelligence would never have allowed her to trust him. Even until the last moment, Hesper might not have truly believed in him. It was the indisputable evidence regarding the hallucinogenic drugs in the files that emboldened Hesper's determination to end Quincey's life.In the audience, a hidden undercurrent of tension surged, while on stage, Lamarie was kicked to the edge by Delphine's powerful blow. If she went any further, it would be considered a violation of the rules, but Lamarie still fought to crawl back. Delphine looked on with keen interest as she observed Lamarie's struggle."I had no idea that the Savatiers had such a resilient pest," Delphine said, looking down at Lamarie. In fact, she herself felt a dull pain in her ribs. She had not anticipated Lamarie's fierce retaliation. Despite being aware of her superior strength, Delphine inexplicably felt a slight struggle against her
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1066
Hesper passed by the Savatier's seats. The moment Lamarie saw her, all the strength seemed to drain from her body. Though she did not quite understand why she asked her to surrender, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was as if she had spotted a savior.The members of the Savatiers shared a similar sentiment. Hesper approached the judges' stand and unfolded what she held in her hand. Finally, everyone could see what it was—a golden medal.Someone quickly recognized the medal. It was the reward for five consecutive victories by the Savatiers. It granted the bearer the privilege to bypass the earlier matches and proceed directly to the final round. The discussions among the crowd grew louder."You're going to participate?"The judges exchanged glances. While the medal had long existed, they never expected it would be used one day and hesitated for a moment."This is the right of the Savatiers. Why shouldn't it be allowed?" Juliette swifty approached, understanding t

According to the sequence, Delphine won the semifinals, so she was supposed to face Sharmila first, and the winner would then compete against Hesper in the final match. Delphine realized that she had no chance of defeating Sharmila, so she made the decision to surrender without even making an attempt. As Delphine exhibited her fear of pain and her reluctance to engage in the fight, her family members' expressions grew disheartened. They were well aware of the importance of this competition, and even Lamarie was prepared to fight with all her might for the pharmaceutical rights and the well-being of her family. However, their cherished "Princess Elphie" chose to give up without even putting up a fight.Even though Delphine was not the brightest, she could feel the difference in how others looked at her, and it made her feel sad. She knew she had no chance of winning against Sharmila, and even if Sharmila surrendered, she would still be no match for Hesper. So why bother with such fut

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
