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

After taking Hesper's medication, the patients might get better and their bodies would be less stressed. She didn't get any hints about these medicines but was a little depressed because of these discoveries. Hesper suddenly realized that she was not wholly omnipotent and had no way of predicting everything, whether it was her sudden poisoning or these medicines.The burden on her shoulders was too much, and she would mistake herself as a saint. On the way back to their room, Rickard noticed Hesper looking paler and thought the toxins of the hallucinogen had started working, so he frowned and walked to her. "I'm fine." Hesper pressed her lips together. "I suddenly realized that I might have put a lot of people in danger. Although I know it's not my burden to bear, I could have prevented it if I were more careful."Hearing that, Rickard pulled her into his arms and patted her back. He knew that although Hesper looked strong and was focused on the greater good, like a merchan

Answering the call, Master Mustafa's voice came from the other side. "Mister?" Master Mustafa's voice sounded elderly. Rickard replied, and when Master Mustafa heard him, he was relieved. He looked at Ranfik and said in a humble tone, "I heard your request from Ranfik."Hearing the emotions coming from his voice, Rickard frowned, walked out of the room, and closed the door. "I believe you know my terms, Master Mustafa. I don't think I'm asking for too much." Rickard's voice was calm and a little too frigid. Master Mustafa couldn't tell how he was feeling through his voice. "I didn't meet you personally, but not because I wasn't sincere about the partnership," Master Mustafa sounded apologetic. "My body wouldn't be able to handle going to meet you. You can come to our place, if you don't mind."There was no change in emotion on Rickard's face. Master Mustafa didn't speak when he didn't get a reply. The person on the other side sounded much younger, but all their bets were on h

"Where’s Rickard?" Looking at Sherese, who just came downstairs and did not know where she was going, Hesper stopped her.Sherese adjusted the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose and said after a short while, "I don’t know where Rickard went. There’s an appointment that I have to attend later, but Rickard did tell me that you won’t be allowed to leave the estate today."Having said that, Sherese took a glance at Hesper’s pale complexion. "Your face looks as if you’ve just dusted it with flour. You should really get some good rest."Hesper knew that she must not be looking too well at the moment, but Sherese obviously looked as if she was hiding something from her—— She had been acting extremely secretive recently.‘Sherese doesn’t know anyone on Leafdelle Islands, so who would she have an appointment with?’But Hesper did not say anything. Sherese and Rickard had worked together before, so she wondered what the siblings were trying to pull off this time. It really looked like the

Delphine did not think that Hesper would come here to see her today just to obtain this piece of information from her. In her imagination, Hesper should hate her to the bones, and all she would do was laugh at her when she was down and out.However, nothing that she had imagined actually happened. Hesper only stood in front of her and calmly asked her for the identity of the person who was trying to kill her.For a moment, Delphine seemed to finally realize why she lost to Hesper, but this moment of thought was soon overwhelmed by pure hatred."If you're so omnipotent, then why not figure it out yourself? Why come to me for the answer?" Delphine did not even know who the other party was, so she could not answer Hesper’s question, but this did not hinder her from being quarrelsome.As soon as she saw Delphine’s expression, Hesper immediately realized that she did not know anything."You don’t know who it is and you haven’t even gotten your hands on Renfrew, so what makes you think

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
