It was a minuscule device and it was inserted into the interlayer located in the hem of the collar, which was almost invisible.Camille nodded. She was not very scared to begin with. If she seemed very timid on the surface, it was all a disguise—— She knew better than anyone else that under the watchful eyes of the crowd, no matter how reluctant he was to marry her, what could Ranfik do to his fiancée?"Don’t worry, you can make yourselves at home here. I’ll make sure to find a way to hold Ranfik back and prevent him from coming out too soon." After saying so, Camille winked at the two of them, then lifted the hem of her gown and went upstairs.Hesper and Rickard exchanged gazes. When they turned around, the first thing that caught their attention was an old man being pushed into the hall in a wheelchair.Rickard tightened his grip on Hesper’s hand, and Hesper immediately understood what that meant.‘This old man is the patriarch of the Mustafas.’The old man in front of them loo

With a hint of disdain in her eyes, the young girl spoke up. "I'm Amara Mustafa. You don't know me?"Hesper had never heard of the name before. However, since she was a Mustafa, she must be of a similar status as Ranfik and Sharmila. Nevertheless, Hesper had no obligation to know her, not to mention her unpleasant tone. Hesper could not be bothered to engage with her.Turning around, she held onto Rickard's arm and suggested, "Let's change rooms.""Alright."Rickard knew that Hesper disliked arguments and, considering her current physical condition, he stood up to leave. However, Amara stopped them. "You were so impolite to me, and now you want to leave?" Amara said as she looked at them condescendingly. Hesper let out a sneer. She was not really interested in getting into a dispute. After all, she did not want to waste her time on Amara. However, she would not just sit by and do nothing when someone came to provoke her. "Since you think I haven't been polite to you, then I

Amara hastily shook her head to dispel the thought. 'What the hell am I thinking? Those two people were clearly a couple!' As Amara ascended the stairs, she unexpectedly encountered Ranfik, who was descending with an emotionless expression. Despite knowing that her cousin seldom displayed his emotions, she could not help but wonder why he wore such an expression on such an important day."Ranfik? What are you doing here?" Upon seeing Amara, Ranfik took a moment to react to who she was. Considering their close blood ties, Ranfik managed to maintain a somewhat pleasant expression and said, "I'm going down to look for someone. Speaking of which, have you seen a man and a woman? The woman is beautiful, with almond-shaped eyes."Amara lapsed into silence. There were numerous women who possessed such characteristics. Merely mentioning a beautiful woman would not be enough to narrow it down, as Mustafa's gathering was always filled with stunning individuals, and almond-shaped eyes wer

Even if this marriage was essentially a mutual manipulation, Ranfik should not handle Camille like this."Don't worry, Camille will soon be his wife. Then he won't create trouble for himself."Hesper nodded in agreement. As of now, there was still no word from Camille, and she could not rush into action at this moment either. She had to rely on the concealed device within her collar to ensure Camille's safety, so it was wiser to patiently wait for further updates.As the two conversed, Hesper turned her head and caught sight of Ranfik standing outside the door. Her face sank. Fortunately, she had made sure there was no one around when she arrived, and it seemed that Ranfik had just come over."Why aren't the two of you downstairs? What brings you up to the rooftop?" Ranfik approached since Hesper had already spotted him. "The party is about to begin."Looking at Ranfik, Hesper forced a fake smile. "We aren't the main focus today, and the party hasn't started yet. It doesn't matt

They could not expose Rickard's true identity just yet. After all, they had not yet found the "Iron Blossom," and they were uncertain about the next steps Raheem would take. If Rickard's identity were to be revealed now, all their previous efforts would be in vain."What should we do? Should you go back now?" Hesper looked at Rickard with concern, but Rickard shook his head helplessly. "Leaving now would only make us appear more suspicious. Don't worry too much. Besides, do you know what's Ranfik's biggest flaw?""...Arrogance?" Hesper replied."Yes." Rickard nodded. "He's unlikely to believe that someone raised outside the island could possess such a prestigious status. Therefore, it would be difficult for him to guess that I'm the person they're looking for."It could be said that Ranfik's arrogance was his downfall.Hesper nodded in agreement. Although she still worried about it, Rickard's reasoning made sense. If they were to leave at this point, it would only make them appear

Hesper calmly looked at the group and replied, "If you can tell me what you want, I'll consider doing as you say.""Sure! We want you to apologize to Ms. Mustafa!" one of them said.As Amara descended the stairs, she witnessed the scene unfolding before her. Hearing the foolish individual's words, her heart nearly leaped to her throat. She quickly rushed forward and pulled the group aside.Seeing Amara's arrival, Hesper knew that this farce would likely come to an end. After all, Amara's expression indicated that she had probably learned about their status on the island."Ms. Rivera, Mr. Duval, I'm sorry about that," Amara said. Just moments ago, she had learned about their identities from her mother. Amara felt incredibly fortunate that the two of them did not hold it against her, but she did not expect to witness such a scene by the time she came down. Nonetheless, a sense of relief washed over her when she noticed Hesper's playful expression. It seemed that things had not esca

After all, Sharmila did not share a good relationship with the members of the Mustafas. Ranfik had never seen Sharmila speak up for anyone before, so he was surprised by her actions. Amara's mother looked at Sharmila with gratitude and a hint of relief in her eyes.Ranfik vaguely remembered another branch of the family that seemed to have a decent relationship with Sharmila. He had not paid much attention to who they were, but he had given them some minor promotions. It seemed that they were the ones now."Alright, let's consider this matter settled," Sharmila said, pushing Amara's mother gently. She then turned to face Ranfik. "I have something I want to discuss with you privately."Seeing this, the remaining people all left, leaving Sharmila and Ranfik alone in the room. With only twenty minutes left until the engagement party, Ranfik could not help but wonder. "Is it necessary to talk about it right now?"Sharmila did not resemble Ranfik much in appearance, but she had a dignifi

"If you really get exposed... have you thought about what to do?" Before Rickard had a chance to respond, the lights in the room dimmed, drawing everyone's attention to the stage. As the lights brightened, Camille and Ranfik appeared, walking hand in hand. They exuded a radiant presence under the spotlight, looking perfectly suited for each other.However, appearances can be deceiving. Behind their seemingly harmonious facade, there were hidden undercurrents that were not meant for outsiders to know."Welcome, everyone, to my engagement ceremony," Ranfik spoke, leading Camile to the front of the stage. While delivering his blessings, he discreetly scanned the area, searching for Hesper and Rickard. Hesper had informed Camille in advance that they would be in a corner, so their gazes quickly met.Camille shook her head, indicating that everything was fine and that Ranfik had not done anything. Hesper sighed with relief. After all, Camille had been out of their sight for quite some

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
