"Stop wasting your efforts," Pierette said, finally sitting up and examining Hesper's face thoroughly. After sizing her up, Pierette hesitated for a moment before asking, "What's your relationship with Benjamin? Judging by your age, could he be your father?""You know Benjamin?"Hesper's response inadvertently confirmed Pierette's speculation. She smiled and remarked, "I knew it. No wonder you were so aggressive." She stood up and walked barefoot across the room, extinguishing the essential oil that had been burning. In just a few minutes, the fragrance in the room dissipated almost entirely. As the scent disappeared, Hesper felt her emotions calming down. She felt a bit puzzled as she looked at Pierette."If I had known you were Benjamin's daughter, I wouldn't have said those things," Pierette said, squinting her eyes. "You probably don't know, but I once pursued your father."The revelation left Hesper stunned. If it were not for Ranfik using Benjamin's appearance to dece

Rickard shook his head, and Hesper could only withdraw her gaze. She turned to look at the seemingly indifferent Pierette in front of her and clenched her fist. This was the first time she came across someone as impervious as Pierette. Before finding Pierette's weakness, extracting any useful information from her seemed as difficult as reaching the heavens.Realizing this, Hesper could only resign herself to the fact that they would gain nothing substantial from Pierette. She cast one final glance at Pierette, who seemed to be pretending to be asleep with her eyes shut, as if completely oblivious to their presence. After that, she and Rickard left the room."What could be Pierette's weakness?" Hesper furrowed her brow. "She has no children, no lover, and she doesn't care about her family. She's like a sly fox, and I can't think of anything that would make her talk."She had hoped that they could get some information from Pierette, but in the end, other than a bad taste in their

Camille was closer to Sherese, so she must have a clearer understanding of the recent events than them. Now it seemed like the only person who could get closer to Ranfik was Camille, and perhaps she was the key to solve the problem."Okay," Rickard replied. As Hesper turned around, he lowered his head and sent a message to Kenji.Kenji replied: [Yes. It was Nathaniel. He took the medicine prepared by Julian to Leafdelle Island. With Charles' support, it was easier for him to navigate himself on Leafdelle Island and he soon got in touch with Ranfik.]Rickard's face sank. If Nathaniel were to meet Hesper again, he did not know what crazy things that lunatic might do. Besides, Ranfik was sitting on the fence. Rickard needed to remain more composed and level-headed than Hesper in dealing with the situation.Rickard: [Keep an eye on Nathaniel.]Kenji: [Understood.]Raising his eyes, Rickard saw a figure suddenly appear at the door. He recognized him. He was the first one to agree to b

Upon hearing Rickard's words, Keith felt somewhat embarrassed. He rubbed his head and said, "There's a saying that goes 'cheap things are not good.' This medicine is meant to save lives. Other families' elders might still have some time left, so they thought of giving it a try. However, our family might only have this one chance. So, I sent someone to get medicine from the Mustafas while I came here to buy the medicine I had previously ordered. What if one of them proves to be effective?"Rickard remained expressionless as he nodded. Then, he continued, "If possible, could you show my wife the medicine you got from the Mustafas?""About that…" Keith hesitated. Ranfik might turn a blind eye if he found out that he came to buy the medicine from the Savatiers. However, if Ranfik learned that he had given the medicine to Hesper and disclosed the formula to her, it could lead to significant trouble. After all, he wasn't prepared to provoke the Mustafas at this point.Just as Keith was

She was certain that Nathaniel and Charles were no longer trying to stop her from regaining her memories this time. Perhaps Charles already knew that she had regained her memories since she disappeared for so long. After learning the relationship between Charles and her mother, Hesper believed that he would not harm her mother. He might use that type of medicine to make her mother lose her memory, but at the very least, her life would not be in danger."I need to examine the component to know the effectiveness of Ranfik's medicine," Hesper said after she pondered for a while. "But I'm sure the process may not go smoothly since they won't hand over the medicine so easily." Rickard gently clasped Hesper's hand, offering reassurance without uttering a word.As the hours passed, only a few individuals who shared Keith's concerns came to acquire the medicine, while the majority of those who had shown interest before remained absent. By nightfall, less than a fifth of the prepared medi

The events on the other side remained unknown to Hesper. The next morning, she checked the quantity of medicine near the door and realized that her hopes from the previous night were merely wishful thinking. There would be no miracles."Ms. Rivera…" One of the young members from the Savatiers approached Hesper, looking hesitant as he gazed at the medicine before letting out a sigh. "What should we do with all this medicine? If we continue like this for another week, it'll all go to waste."Hesper's hope now rested with Keith and the others. She was certain that in just three days, the medicine's effects would kick in, and their elders would recover. Once the rest of the families saw the results, they would naturally come seeking the medicine. However, relying on others felt too risky, and Hesper was not accustomed to putting her hopes in someone else's hands."I'll be going out. You stay here and keep watch," Hesper said, turning around. Ranfik had invited Camille for a date t

With a hesitant nod, Camille followed Ranfik's subordinate to the changing room, leaving only Hesper and the designer among a pile of dress samples, creating an eerie atmosphere."When we meet, Ranfik, do you really intend to hide behind someone else's face?" The designer was surprised, but soon a familiar voice rang out. "How did you know it was me?"Hesper curved her lips, but her eyes showed no hint of amusement. "Next time, if you deign to impersonate someone else, at least adjust your attitude. You address me as Ms Rivera, yet call Rickard's name directly. On today's island, no one would be foolish enough to pull such a stunt, right?"Ranfik chuckled, drawing closer. "Since you've discovered my true identity, do you dare to meet me alone?""What's there to be afraid of?" Hesper replied calmly. She came out with Camille today and everyone knew about it. All of Camille's safety outside was ensured by Ranfik himself. If something happened to her, it would be difficult for Ran

"Merely a frivolous agreement with an ant, why should I accept it?" Hearing Ranfik's words, Hesper furrowed her brow. She had thought that Ranfik would not care too much about Nathaniel, but it seemed he had already gained some benefits from their collaboration, yet his attitude towards Nathaniel remained unchanged.'An ant…'Indeed, to the people of the island, those outside were regarded as a lower form of life, as if everyone apart from the islanders was inferior and not worthy of being taken seriously. This arrogance and condescension were deeply ingrained in their nature.Then what made Ranfik view her differently?"To me, you're a special existence," Ranfik admitted frankly. "Initially, I thought you were just another boring person from the outside, but you managed to eliminate all false and wrong answers and defeated me."Hesper stared at Ranfik expressionlessly while Ranfik's face revealed a hint of defeat. She now understood how Ranfik felt about her. He treated her l

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
