Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Camille walked into the Moreau mansion expressionlessly, followed by a group of men.She kicked open a door. Ermione was inside, tied up and thrown in a corner of the room. Her pupils constricted as soon as rays of light beamed into the room, and she flinched a little like a mouse in the gutter."You’ve done quite a great job!" Camille’s voice sounded, and it was filled with hints of sarcasm. "I’ve only been away from the Moreaus for a few months, yet I wasn't informed about the change of image that the Moreaus have been undergoing all this while. And now we’re actually in a cooperative relationship with Nathaniel?"Hearing the coldness in Camille’s tone, Ermione and the others dared not speak, for fear of being the first to get a scolding from Camille."Ermione Moreau, I went easy on you by not holding you accountable when you interfered with my life without my authorization and drove Renfrew out of the house. But I didn’t expect you to have suc

On the other side of the world, Hesper looked into the nutritional content of the Vitalis and made sure that no poison had been added to it. It was only an ordinary herb with extremely strong medicinal effects, completely untampered.This should obviously be great news, but after Hesper found out that everything was normal, she began to worry even more.Finding no issue in this matter was the biggest issue—— She refused to believe that such a coincidence existed in the world. In the face of manipulations, schemes, and pitfalls, such positive occurrences seemed a little unbelievable.Even if Vitalis was sitting right in front of her very eyes, and the means to negotiate a deal with the Rikihisas was close at hand, she still did not have the guts to make the move.Rickard also obtained the latest findings from Kenji’s investigation and found out that there was indeed a man with whom Yuko often met in private, but that person was not from the island. What was even more beyond his expe

‘It's okay if the fish that I want won't take the bait for now. I haven’t even released the most crucial piece of news just yet.’To be able to cure the side effects of the hallucinogenic drug was nothing at all. After all, Vitalis was as rare as hen’s teeth, and only one of its kind had appeared in the past thirty years. If there was no top-tier ingredient at a world-renowned chef’s disposal, it was next to impossible for him to produce an exquisite meal, so being able to cure the illness was not Hesper’s main advantage at the moment.‘The tables will turn as soon as the Rikihisas find out that I have another Vitalis in my possession. Anyway, I’m not the one who’s anxiously trying to save my own life, so there’s no need for me to act in a hurry.’After around two days, the Rikihisas could no longer stay put and sent someone over to invite Hesper over to the Rikihisas’ residence.Their attitude was completely different from the last time she had come to visit them. When Hesper came

Although he had known what Hesper really wanted since long ago, the reason why Shinra hesitated was that he was reluctant to give up this benefit. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Mustafas would sooner or later become the only major clan in Leafdelle Island. Compared to them, the Savatiers’ recent performance had been rather unsatisfactory.The Mustafas had Ranfik and Sharmila, who seemed to have a bright future ahead. In comparison, what did the Savatiers have? Although they had just obtained the pharmaceutical rights of Leafdelle Island for the next three years, the Savatiers still had no successors!"If you can’t decide on what to do now, then it’s only natural for me to not know how to save Master Rikihisa."Hesper turned around, and it was clear to Shinra that if he did not agree to Hesper’s terms now, she would surely not cure his father of his illness!‘But wait, how can she be this certain...? They don’t even have Vitalis anymore!’Having seen through Shinra

‘Can those even be considered as options? It’s obvious that she’s forcing option B onto me!’Shinra gave off a wry smile. The Rikihisas seemed to still be functioning calmly and peacefully only because he had been concealing the fact that the patriarch of the family had completely lost consciousness and was currently lying on his sickbed, dying.If the others were to know that the patriarch of the Rikihisas had completely fallen into a coma, he would certainly not be able to maintain the overall stability of the family."Okay, you have my word." Shinra shook his head. "Ms. Rivera, with you acting as their backbone, I believe the Savatiers will surely be able to go further and prosper. Can you start the treatment today? It seems that Father’s condition isn’t looking too good."Hearing that Shinra had agreed to her terms, Hesper nodded. "I can’t just take your word for it. We’ll sign a contract right here and now. My husband is waiting right outside the villa, and I’ll deliver the co

The woman looked very young. She was about the same age as Yuko, so the first thing that came to Shun's mind was that his eldest son must have done something stupid again, and he almost lost his head and breathed his last breath, but he then saw his son look back in an extremely respectful manner. "Dr. Rivera, thank you so much for this miracle!"‘Doctor?’Shun’s confused mind finally cleared up a little more, and he remembered that earlier that day, while in a trance, he seemed to have indeed heard a young lady instructing his eldest son to submerge him in some kind of medicinal bath. And after a series of struggles and efforts, he finally regained consciousness.‘So does that mean that this young lady—— Did she save my life?’"It seems that this medicinal bath is very effective in counteracting Master Rikihisa’s illness, but Master Rikihisa’s condition is worse than Grandpa‘s, so it’ll take about two months for him to attain a full recovery.""No problem. Just tell me if you nee

He did not expect that the Savatiers would suddenly recall such a capable member. It seemed that many major events had happened on Leafdelle Island and shook the entire island while he was unconscious."Being able to make friends with people like Hesper Rivera and Rickard Duval is probably a brand new option that we’ve never encountered before this."Before this, the situation on Leafdelle Island seemed rather foggy and dim. Apart from the Mustafas who could be faintly seen taking the lead, the rest of the families seemed to have gotten lost in the fog, watching themselves degenerate and fall closer into perdition as time went by.The hallucinogenic drug incident was one of the events that brought the most despair to all the families."Then I shan’t disturb you anymore. You should get some rest." Shinra rarely heard praises from his father, but he also knew deep down that Hesper was the one who forced him into making this choice earlier that day, so he could not help but let off a

"We still have Hesper and Rickard to rely on, don’t we?" Camille lowered her gaze and helped Sherese lay back in the bed. "Pierette still dreams of making her way back to Leafdelle Island, but do you really think the Savatiers would take her back with open hands if they knew that she was still alive?"Both of them knew that this would certainly not happen."The Moreaus do owe your mother one, but what does that have to do with Pierette?" There was a hint of lucidity beaming out of Camille’s eyes, then followed by a moment of coldness. "I hate it the most when others threaten me."Sherese sighed, and Camille immediately continued, "Have some faith in Hesper and Rickard. They might have achieved something to secure themselves a top spot on Leafdelle Island."Sherese did not doubt this; those two would surely make their way to the top no matter where they went. But in such a short amount of time, it would be considered good enough for them to just gain a firm foothold on Leafdelle Isl

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
