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

When they got to the restaurant, they had a private room, so the chances of them bumping into each other were slim. "Alright, I'm going to reserve a table. Please wait here."Iqbal turned to leave but texted Ranfik to inform him. Hesper spoke to Camille. "Ranfik and Rickard are here, and Rickard must have had a reason for asking me to come over.""Got it." Camille blinked. Iqbal didn't want to leave them unsupervised for a long time, so when Ranfik didn't reply, he came back. "Let's head over."***Meanwhile, Rnafik met the man at the door. Even when they were meeting in private, the man had a mask on, just like the rumors said. No one knew his actual identity or what his face behind the mask looked like. "I've heard a lot about you."Ranfik knew how to react based on the situation. He knew he had to tone down his ego because this was a man who even the patriarch would have to be polite to. There were many business families in Leafdelle yet this person managed to own the big

That sounded like a deliberate question. Ranfik avoided showing them this 'unknown man' because he obviously didn't want them to know about him. However, even though he knew Hesper did that intentionally, Ranfik couldn't just play dumb because the man before them looked up. It was difficult to read the expression behind the mask, but he knew the man was curious about the trio who just showed up. After meeting him, the man looked uninterested in everything, but this sudden change in emotion surprised Ranfik. It was an obvious chance. "This is Ms. Rivera, a member of the Savatier family."Rickard exchanged looks with Hesper from under the mask and she looked at him as though she had no idea who he was. If he hadn't known that Hesper knew it was him, he would have been tricked by her. Hesper nodded and so did Rickard. When he saw that, Ranfik had a funny feeling, but he introduced Camille, who didn't know the man behind the mask was Rickard. However, since she didn't know it wa

It was as if she could feel a sense of stability whenever she saw Rickard. They walked into the room where Ranfik had arranged for the food to be served. Although it was for two and now there were four of them, it didn't matter. The amount of food Ranfik ordered would be able to feed ten people.Hesper was silent from the beginning. Ranfik was curious why she was so quiet, but she wasn't the main focus now. He knew what not to do. If he could work with this man, Hesper and the Rikihisas' partnership wouldn't mean anything. Then Hesper would have to do whatever he said and accept that she wasn't as good as him and that she chose the wrong person to work with. Camille didn't really know what was happening at first, but seeing Hesper eat quietly without showing any sign of wanting to interrupt them, she did as Hesper did. There was no need to waste the food being served. "If you accept, we'll give you twenty percent of our yearly revenue."Hesper raised her brows when she hear

The previous second she was just watching the two men interact but the next second she was suddenly involved. Hesper thought she had become a target. Fortunately, after Rickard mocked Ranfik, he never brought her up again and just left it at that. "The second condition is simple too," Rickard spoke again as he slowly cut up his steak. However, he didn't put it in his mouth. "I want to meet Master Mustafa. I'll only agree if he personally discussed this with me."It was back to square one. Hesper knew Rickard insisted on meeting Master Mustafa because he wanted to find out if he was the one who came up with the hallucinogen. If he could have more information about that, things would come to an end. However, it wasn't so easy to meet Master Mustafa. Even if Ranfik wanted to seal this deal, he couldn't make a decision on behalf of Master Mustafa. All he could do was stare at Rickard. "Is there really no room for negotiation? We're willing to go up to thirty percent.""No," Rickard

Camille only tolerated Ranfik for so long because of Hesper and Rickard. "You make a lot of sense, but I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be angry during our wedding," Camille gave a joyless smile. "Say hi to Grandpa for me."Hesper and Camille left the room after that. Iqbal hung his head, avoiding looking at Ranfik. After half a minute of silence, Ranfik threw the cutleries he was holding to the floor. All the leftover food covering the table and Rickard's nicely cut steak made him feel like he was a joke. He treated someone with respect, but that person was so bored while he was talking, he started cutting up his steak. Iqbal immediately got on his knees as Ranfik closed his eyes. "Why did Hesper and Camille suddenly show up here? Didn't you know I had a business meeting today?""I texted you before coming over. It was an impromptu plan. Hesper suddenly felt ill, so Camille suggested coming here to eat and rest." Iqbal was in a tough spot. "I didn't have a reason to stop them."

Camille wasn't that curious, but she was relieved when she saw the couple playing Ranfik. Although Ranfik was cautious, it was obvious the entire family saw this partnership as something important. Not having the chance to get more details that morning, Hesper asked, "What did the Mustafas want you to do?""They want to buy back all the Vitalis sold at the auction and the unique herbs bought by the shops."Even when it wasn't spelled out, when Vitalis was involved, people would inadvertently link it to the hallucinogen. Rickard continued. "Master Mustafa hasn't told me about the unique herb, so I'm guessing they'll only tell me about it after I confirm I'll be working with them."If they could confirm that this was related to the hallucinogen, it would probably be the most important herb. Hesper looked around and thought it would be pointless for Rickard to accept their offer, but if they could get the recipe for the drug, it could work for them. "Master Mustafa would definite

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
