Rickard fell silent. Although he wanted to tell Hesper she was the one who kept cutting him off, when he saw how defeated she looked, he changed his mind. "I have a question." Hesper just felt embarrassed because she thought about what to say on the way up. Just when she figured out how to tell Rickard about it, that happened. "Even though it was a little awkward, I strongly considered every word I said. I don't want to hide anything from you."Rickard wasn't laughing but Hesper felt he was mocking her through his eyes, so she was embarrassed. "That's what I came up with. It wasn't exactly sexpionage. Ranfik is too easily tricked."Hesper had a feeling Ranfik would change his attitude toward Nathaniel with just a few words. If she fed him more reasons to push Nathaniel away, he might actually throw Nathaniel out of his home. "Ranfik is a smart person but he's egotistical."Rickard lowered his gaze; he knew Ranfik didn't think highly of them. However, that worked for them. Peop

She couldn't stay with the Savatiers for the rest of her life. They didn't have a very strong bond with the family, so helping them, from a certain perspective, was just helping themselves. That was why they wouldn't be staying there for too long. By bringing the younger Savatiers around and showing them how the world worked, after the pair left, there would at least be someone to take over. Hesper had done all that she could. They soon arrived at the Rikihisas'. After Master Rikihisa heard that the Mustafas were stealing their business, he was ready for the business to sink. He didn't expect Hesper to turn the situation around, so he was impressed by her. "I'll work with whatever plan you have in mind."Hesper needed to hear that, but she didn't need any help from him for the time being. The Savatiers needed assistance to take down the Mustafas so their future generations wouldn't have help."I do have a request." Hesper looked around. "I'd like to see Ms. Rikihisa. Is she a

It was a rather similar question. It was just that it was being asked by the other party. However, Hesper did not hesitate and introduced herself immediately, "I’m of the Savatiers. My name is Hesper Rivera."Unexpectedly, the other party’s eyes widened as soon as he heard her name. He was shocked not because of the family’s name, but because of the name Hesper Rivera.Seeing his reaction, Hesper frowned. "Do you know me?"This was actually not a strange thing. Hesper’s name had never been associated with mediocrity, no matter whether it was off or on Leafdelle Island. However, the man’s reaction indeed seemed a little weird."Ms. Lane, I’m Mr. Lane’s subordinate."Hearing this sentence, Hesper’s pupils constricted slightly, but she did not let go of the man immediately and only calmed her voice down. "That Mr. Lane you just brought up, are you referring to Benjamin Lane? If so, what proof do you have?""I know you might not believe in me, but I indeed work for Mr. Lane. Mr. Lane

Yuko knew extremely well how to protect herself, so she could be a little too sensitive at times.Kingston watched Yuko leave, and his gaze shifted and landed on Hesper, who was standing in front of him. "Ms. Lane, I know that you might not trust me very much, but I’ve been looking forward to seeing you ever since I arrived on Leafdelle Island."Kingston originally thought that Hesper would spend her whole life outside the island, and as the wealth of the Lanes expanded under her watch, it would still be an excellent and fulfilling life. However, he never expected that Hesper would actually set foot on Leafdelle Island, and she would establish her own foothold on Leafdelle Island at such an astonishing speed.This gave him hope—— Hoping that perhaps Hesper could actually rescue Benjamin."Mr. Lane had been imprisoned in the Mustafas’ manor for several years, and he only managed to escape not long ago, but he's been infected by the toxins left in his body by the hallucinogenic drug.

"Yes, Ms. Lane, you heard me right. Pierette indeed had an affair with Raheem Mustafa back then, and the patriarch of the Savatiers was infuriated because of this incident."‘Thinking about it now, Brigette, Quincey’s second daughter, broke her marriage agreement, and Pierette, his eldest, got involved in an extramarital affair with someone around his age... If I were their father, I might not be able to accept it either.’"After that incident, Pierette ran away from home, and when she returned to the Savatiers, she was already infected with hallucinogenic drugs."Hearing this, Hesper frowned. "It seems that all the problems lie with the Savatiers."‘The hallucinogenic drug incident is inextricably linked to the Savatiers and Grandpa. If Kingston isn’t lying, then he's the most suspicious person.’"Okay, I’ll find a way to verify the authenticity of what you said after I get back." Hesper regained her composure. "And do you and Yuko really love each other, or did you just need an

"Since Ranfik has caught Father, he’ll definitely find a way to tell me about it tomorrow." Hesper thought for a moment, then continued, "If that’s the case, I won’t go out with Camille tomorrow."‘I don’t know a thing about Ranfik’s plan yet, so if I really go and meet him, I might get emotionally played by him. The only time I can take the initiative to make a move is when he can’t figure out what’s going on in my head.’"Why don’t you come with me to the Bernards’ villa tomorrow?"Delphine had been stepping on Hesper’s bottom line over and over again, and Hesper had been too busy and lazy to care about her before. After all, Delphine was too dumb to do anything to harm them.But this time, she had really managed to annoy Hesper.Meanwhile, Delphine stared at the text messages on her phone and tightened her grip on the phone, her fingertips trembling slightly.[Unknown number: Ms. Bernard, do you feel raging hatred scorching you from the inside whenever you see Hesper? I have a

Seeing this, the representative of the Bernards knew that he would not be able to deal with Hesper, but Ermine was usually in charge of the villa. If she were to come over at this moment, she might get into another conflict with Rickard. After all, she was accountable for snatching his mother’s marriage agreement from her back then.‘They might not care about it, but Mrs. Bernard has been quibbling about it rather unforgivingly throughout all these years.’"Is Ms. Bernard not in today?" Hesper asked unintentionally, and the representative instantly became a little nervous.It was no news that all Delphine had been thinking about all day every day was Rickard ever since she first met him. She even tried attracting Rickard’s attention by appearing around him all the time during the Grand Interfamily Tournament, and because of that, Ermine gave her a stern scolding and punished her after they came back from the competition.But who would have expected that she would only behave hersel

Hearing her calling Rickard by his first name so affectionately, Hesper’s expression turned a little cold, but she did not want to go too far when it came to the Bernards, so she sat down with Rickard without saying anything.Delphine had been frightened by Hesper’s image that she had floating around in her mind, so she hid behind Ermine with a pale face, following her around and only daring to sit down when her mother did, not uttering a single word—— She did not dare to say anything at all now.Looking at Delphine’s expression, Hesper knew that she had only achieved what she wanted temporarily. She had figured Delphine out a long time ago; she was the type of person who never learned her lesson. She might be intimidated by her at this moment, but she would forget about everything and cling onto Rickard when she saw him again in the future.Otherwise, the previous few encounters would have taught Delphine the lesson that she needed to remember for life."The medicine has been exam

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
