The happiness they experienced was akin to a fish struggling desperately when stranded, finally making its leap to the seaside before it succumbed to complete desiccation. Hesper was determined not to let any unforeseen circumstances jeopardize the bright future she held within her grasp.Rickard reached out, his hand gently caressing Hesper's head. "Don't worry. There's no guarantee we can accurately anticipate all the circumstances. When the unexpected happens, it happens.""Okay…" Hesper nodded, a smile gracing her lips after a moment's pause. "True, it's just that your gentle demeanor seems rather unlike you."Suddenly, Hesper sat up and switched on the bedside lamp. Reacting to her movements, Rickard also sat up, momentarily taken aback when Hesper's hand brushed against his face."What's the matter?"After Hesper confirmed that it was truly Rickard's face, she withdrew her hand and said, "I just wanted to make sure. You didn't sound like you just now."Having been deceived

There was one extra set prepared. It was obviously for the two of them. Camille pursed her lips, but Sherese didn't seem to mind because they needed somewhere to stay. They didn't have anything that Cheney could use against them anyway. "I'll figure out a way to bring you over to the Savatier estate. We'll talk after meeting Hesper." Cheney yawned. "Why would you pick such a late flight? I'm so sleepy."Sherese didn't know what to say. They were supposed to sneak in, so of course they were going to choose the middle of the night, but Cheney suddenly showed up and brought them straight over. Camille wasn't as relaxed about Cheney as Sherese was, but Cheney was right. Standing on the streets at this hour wasn't a plan. They were on unfamiliar territory, so where could they go?"From tomorrow onward, the hotel will be filled with guests, as the heir of the Mustafa family will be picking his future bride there. If you don't want to be seen by those people, it's best to be extra c

Hesper put the agreement away. All her hard work had paid off and the price of the Vitalis was made known. Hesper's expression calmed and she looked a lot more natural and gentle. "Don't worry, sir. We won't lose."The Rikihisas were in it for the benefits, but if the Savatiers lost, they would lose everything and there would be no way to turn the tide. She and Rickard could not lose, as they didn't have the right to. "Tell me if you need any help at all."Hesper nodded then looked around. "There is something I need from you, and it's very simple. All you have to do is show up during Ranfik Mustafa's bride selection dinner.""Just show up?" Shun frowned but quickly came to a realization. "You want everyone to see that I'm cured?""Clever." Cunningness flashed across Hesper's eyes again. "People don't always believe what they hear, but if a bed-ridden man who couldn't stand up straight were restored to full health in a short amount of time…"The people wouldn't continue to rema

Now it seemed pointless. Rickard looked around and saw that the person next to Camille still kept her head low. From her size, she looked like a woman, but for some reason, Rickard felt a sense of familiarity despite seeing her for the first time. But he didn't think he had met her before. "She's just escorting me around. I was worried about being alone here on the island," Camille quickly said. Rickard looked away. "We'll speak when Hesper is back. How did you get here? It's not somewhere you can just get to.""...Cheney, but I'm not sure why she would help me."The car fell into silence after that. Fortunately, Hesper showed up at the gates soon after, and when she got into the car, she noticed that there were two more people. Her eyes went straight to Camille and her face turned cold. However, when she looked toward Sherese, unlike Rickard, she knew who she was, so she was suspicious of her. "What are you doing here too, Sherese?"Sherese could no longer lower her sen

Seeing how the Savatiers let Hesper do whatever she wanted, Cheney turned out to be right. Camille and Sherese were both shocked, but when they realized it was Hesper and Rickard, they got over it. They had that influence no matter where they went. After entering the mansion, Hesper didn't show any expression. Camille and Sherese walked behind the couple and into the courtyard. "Alright, have you come up with a reason now?" Hesper turned around and glared at them with an icy look. "You better come up with a reasonable excuse. Also…"There was a pause as Hesper looked toward Sherese. "Sherese, you know I trust you, so I want to hear your explanation first. Why did you suddenly disappear and become Camille's… escort?"Hearing Sherese's name, Rickard's brows moved as he looked at the woman who held her head low, hoping no one would notice her. That might trick anyone else but not him. The weird sense of familiarity didn't dissipate because he saw her face. Although her face wa

"The situation on Leafdelle is complicated. You shouldn't have come." Hesper's expression looked complicated. "But since you're here and have gotten into the Savatier estate, there are a lot of eyes on you. It'll be even riskier if we send you out now."Camille and Sherese exchanged looks while Hesper looked at Rickard, who was behind her. "Let's just keep them here for now and send them out later on."Rickard snapped out of his thoughts and nodded. "Alright."Sherese had mixed emotions when she heard she would stay at the mansion. When she felt for her ID in her pocket, she realized her pocket was empty; her heart dropped. She had gotten distracted seeing someone she never got to meet before, so she didn't even realize the card she always brought around was no longer in her pocket. Noticing Sherese's expression, Camille turned to her. "What's wrong?"Sherese didn't hide her expression, as Hesper and Rickard weren't paying attention to her. "The card is gone. I think it's at th

Sherese's pupils constricted and Hesper naturally caught that. It confirmed her speculation. "You know you can't lie to me easily. You're related to Rickard. Do you know Brigette?"Hearing her getting warmer and warmer with her guesses, Sherese gave a sad chuckle. Hesper wasn't just hard to lie to, she got everything right. Sherese couldn't even think of anything to say. Technology was so advanced now that even if she denied it, since they were now at the Savatier estate, it would only take a few days to get results for a DNA test. There was no point in lying. "Rickard and I are related, and there's more." Sherese paused, then after a long while, she finally said, "I'm his sister. We share the same set of biological parents.""What?"***Meanwhile, Camille arrived at the hotel. Since Cheney brought them over the previous day, she didn't know the hotel's exact location. Fortunately, she paid attention to the hotel's name and finally found it. "Hello, ma'am." Camille walked ov

Her heart told her that the man was someone important. Fortunately, they didn't take too long to get to the first floor. After finally getting out of the elevator, she sighed in relief, but then she saw they weren't in the lobby but at the garage. The man chuckled. Camille turned around and looked into his smiling eyes. "Is this your first time at this hotel? The first floor is the garage. The lobby is on the second floor."Camile frowned. The man quickly pressed the button for the second floor. "I'll walk you to the door. The layout here can be confusing."Even though Camille looked meek, she wasn't someone who would rely on others, so seeing this stranger suddenly be friendly to her, she felt he had a motive. However, she didn't have a good reason to turn him down, so she nodded. They quietly walked to the door and the man said, "Alright, pretty lady, I hope we meet again.""...Thanks."After thanking him, she took a good look at the man so she could remember him the next

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
