With trembling hands, Delpine opened the picture sent by the man. When she saw the photo of a child resembling Hesper, a comforting sense of relief washed over her. "Perfect... I can finally make Hesper meet her end!" Delpine smiled, eager to share this good news with Ermine. However, just as she stepped out of the room, she coincidentally ran into Hesper, causing her hands holding the phone to tremble."Why are you here?" Delphine asked. Hesper raised an eyebrow as she looked at Delphine, who appeared rather nervous. "Are you really that surprised to see me here? I'm treating your grandfather now, so it should be normal for me to be here."Delphine was too nervous to remember that Hesper had a valid reason to be there. However, she tried to play it off and asked, "I know you came here to treat my grandfather, but I was asking why did you come over to this side?"Hesper's presence there was not a coincidence. She did not expect Delphine to remain patient for so long without taki

Hesper had made herself clear, but unfortunately, Ranfik had never been a person to back down easily. "I just wanted to escort you back to the Savatiers' estate. Dropping you off in public won't cause any gossip," he insisted.After conversing with Ranfik at the entrance of the Bernards' villa for quite some time, Hesper was aware that anyone with malicious intent could use this opportunity to spread rumors. However, with a free chauffeur at her disposal, she decided not to hesitate and gladly got into the car. "Sure, then thank you for the ride, my dear brother-in-law. I'll make sure Rickard thanks you properly later," she said, emphasizing "brother-in-law" and Rickard's name with a smiling face. Ranfik's froze, and he suddenly regretted choosing Camille. He should have crushed these emotions with his teeth and never let any trace of pity affect his judgment.Sensing the danger in Ranfik's eyes, Hesper fell silent for a moment. Nevertheless, she was not afraid since she knew

Suddenly, a wave of exhaustion hit Hesper. She shook her head, and Rickard reached out to grab her."What's wrong?" he asked.At that instant, Hesper felt her head swimming, and she was on the verge of collapsing. If it were not for Rickard supporting her, she would have already fallen to the ground. This sensation was not entirely new to her, for she had experienced it before, but today it was more intense. Previously, she had dismissed it as overthinking and fatigue, but now she had no choice but to consider it more seriously.She checked her pulse and furrowed her brows in concern.Observing Hesper's increasingly serious expression, Rickard immediately lifted her into his arms and hurried into the courtyard. When they were inside, her face turned pale."What's happening?" Rickard's voice remained composed, and Hesper's senses began to return as she heard him. However, she did not know how to break the news to Rickard as she looked at him. After a moment of hesitation, she final

After the initial panic ebbed away, Hesper quickly regained her composure. The more dire the situation, the less room there was for panic. If she lost her nerve, there would be no one in the world who could save her.Was she just going to watch herself walk toward death? No, she would not let that happen."We'll definitely find a way," she assured.Resting in the embrace of Rickard, Hesper gathered some strength back. She reached out and gently squeezed his hand as a gesture of reassurance. Normally, when people looked at Hesper, they saw her as a strong woman. They never used the word "weak" to describe her.But now, as Rickard lowered his eyes, he could not help but see her like a delicate porcelain doll, someone who could be hurt by the slightest touch."Don't worry. There's no need to be so tense," she said, then paused for a moment before continuing. "I can't let others know about my poisoning, or all the efforts we made before would be in vain... And about this hallucinogeni

In the middle of the numerous mysteries, Hesper felt as if she was playing house right now. After all, Delphine's naivety and crude tactics were unparalleled on the entire island. Sending the photos directly exposed too much information. Did Delphine really think that changing to a new phone number would solve everything?Previously, after gaining some authority on the island, Hesper had arranged for Zoya to have a login portal on the island. She forwarded Delphine's number to Zoya, who was surprised to see an island number but quickly cracked the IP and sent the information back to Hesper. The process went too smoothly. The number was not encrypted, making her doubt her own assumptions.Zoya: [Is this a trap?]Hesper was speechless.'Nope. She's just helplessly stupid.'Having obtained the IP, Hesper sent it directly to Victor, and the rest naturally fell into place. After completing these tasks, she could feel her strength rapidly draining, even though she only made a few

Although Hesper was talking with a playful tone, she also knew that Rickard was worried about her. So, she whispered, "Rickard, don't worry. I've treated so many people. I can't possibly fail to treat myself, right?""Yeah, I believe in you," Rickard replied with a pat on her hand. He then said nothing more, tucking her in and lying down. Their fingers remained entwined, but there was an unspoken understanding between them, and neither of them pulled their hand away.Hesper had managed to wake up just now purely due to the vigilance she had cultivated over the years. When she sensed someone in the dark, she instantly opened her eyes. But now, she was quite exhausted, having used up all her strength to say those words.Fully closing her eyes, Rickard moved a bit closer and embraced Hesper. Feeling the familiar scent, she took a gentle sniff and then relaxed, snuggling into his embrace.*The next morning, Hesper found that she did not seem any different from usual. After careful co

Nonetheless, she had to use her beauty now. "I said I would support your decision but you might see me today," Rickard calmly said. Hesper didn't really understand what he meant but then she saw something on the desk. It was a mask Rickard took out and understood what was going on. "You're going to meet Ranfik with this identity?""Yes and no." Rickard moved the bowl aside and said, "Ranfik asked to meet me, or should I say, the owner of the auction house. I don't know what he's planning for now, but it should be linked to the hallucinogen."Hesper's eyes shone but she was hesitant. "Would Ranfik do such an important thing while Camille and I are with him? I don't think that's what he would do."Hearing that, Rickard shook his head. "After Ranfik sent you home yesterday, he went to see Master Mustafa. He probably wanted to see me because of him."That sounded logical because Ranfik wouldn't bow down to anyone, but he wouldn't want to offend Master Mustafa either. "Let's see

It was obvious Ranfik trusted him, so he probably had information about Benjamin's whereabouts. Hesper wouldn't ask him directly. Status and identity at Leafdelle were like a wall. As one of the most trusted assistants of Ranfik, he probably took everything Ranfik said seriously, so it wouldn't be easy to infiltrate. If she couldn't blackmail him or force it out of him, she would have to get information through other means. After Ranfik left, Hesper, Camille, and Iqbal started a new shopping spree. Hesper didn't know where to begin. In a way, constantly spending money was tiring, but Ranfik thought this was the way to a woman's heart. However, it made sense. If Ranfik was a casanova, she wouldn't have her chance. After spending a rather bland afternoon, Hesper suddenly got a message from Rickard. It didn't say anything other than a location. Hesper raised her brow but quickly understood the hidden message. Ranfik and Rickard were meeting there. Hesper wasn't very famili

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
