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 could not be certain because he had never heard any news about that person. He came to Leafdelle Island on Charles's command and he felt like nothing more than an ordinary person compared to the island's residents. Everything here was unfamiliar to him, and the island was known for its strong aversion to outsiders. He had faced numerous difficulties upon arriving, but luckily, he had made it through and now found himself in a standoff between Hesper and Ranfik. Moreover, he happened to have the prescription developed by Julian in his hands.After hearing about the recent events on the island, Nathaniel quickly identified the unusual aspects. After all, a person like Rickard could not be easily overlooked no matter where he was. It was impossible for Hesper to completely overshadow Rickard's presence, unless Rickard had truly done nothing since coming to the island. But how likely was that? Merely listening to others' accounts, Nathaniel could sense that Rickard and Hesper had

However, Raheem did not reveal his inner thoughts to Nathaniel. If Nathaniel knew that he was not trusted because of this, he would likely be frustrated. However, it was no longer of any concern to Hesper and her group."These people seem to be searching for someone," Hesper said. Just as her words faded, the stage, which had remained silent for a while, suddenly illuminated once more. Sitting on the stage with a solemn expression, Raheem said,"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment, but we have unexpectedly lost something very important."Rickard and Hesper exchanged a knowing glance, a habit they had developed over six months together. They suspected that the mention of a "lost item" was merely a pretext, and the real purpose was to locate someone.A murmur spread through the crowd below, and Raheem swiftly continued, "To avoid wasting your time, I kindly request everyone to access the messaging interface on your phones. The attending staff will come to

As long as they were able to swap Rickard's phone with another one after it had been inspected, it should be fine. After all, there were so many phones present, even a genius would struggle to remember them all. Rickard remained silent for a while as he gazed into Hesper's eyes."This is very dangerous," he said, his voice filled with concern. If they were discovered, even if they were part of the Savatiers, they might be imprisoned indefinitely by Raheem, without any hope of seeing the light of day. However, if Hesper left now, there was a possibility of her escaping unscathed."You don't have to convince me," Hesper replied with a smile tugging at her lips as she held onto Rickard's hand tightly. "I have made up my mind. Regardless of the outcome, I will stand by your side."As Rickard observed Hesper's determined gaze, he fell silent for a moment. Meanwhile, upon hearing Raheem's request, Camille's expression changed slightly. She swiftly left the social gathering area and re

The crowd was already feeling disgruntled, so when they heard what Hesper said, they were all up in arms. They didn't have to come to the party, but the Mustafas invited them and wanted to check their phones. What was this disrespect?Master Mustafa was wheeled out when tensions rose and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. I didn't plan this well enough, but the lost item is too important to our family… I'm so sorry for wrongly accusing Ms. Rivera of this. We just need to see your messages and nothing else."Hearing Master Mustafa personally apologizing, the crowd calmed down, but they were still tense. No one would like to suddenly be accused of being a thief and even have their privacy invaded by showing them their texts. No one was happy about it. Master Mustafa knew Hesper wasn't easy to deal with, but he didn't expect her to be even smarter than he thought. It wasn't the first time Master Mustafa heard her name. Ever since they arrived at the island

Ranfik's attitude toward him had drastically changed for the worse from before. If someone who knew what happened hadn't brought it up, Ranfik wouldn't have started an investigation. Remembering the oddity that happened recently, Nathaniel came to a realization. Ranfik had special feelings toward Hesper. Ranfik was going to roast him over a pit. Although Raheem trusted his judgment and acknowledged his ability, Ranfik was his grandson. They might abandon him after the failure today. Nathaniel turned around and said, "Master Mustafa, I can promise I don't have feelings for Hesper. I admit I have my own reasons, but what I feel for her now is only hatred."Raheem regulated his emotions and said in an ambiguous tone. "How will you prove that?""Since you're looking into my relationship with Hesper, I'm sure you found out that both my parents died due to the hallucinogen. The person who saw it happen but didn't help was Hesper's dad."When 'hallucinogen' was mentioned, Raheen an

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
