Hesper was shocked to come to that realization, but she didn't show it. She was still outside, so someone might be observing them and new speculations might arise. After getting back to her courtyard, Hesper told Rickard about everything that happened. Hesper wouldn't believe that Ranfik was a good man because the medication given out for free was proof that he wasn't. When he had done that, all that was on his mind was winning and he didn't care about checking if it was reliable. Lots of people could have lost their lives because of this. He didn't care because he wanted to keep the status quo. Ranfik was still a capitalist wolf, so even if he was a good man, the rest of the world was too. "Although this address is suspicious, I should go check it out."Benjamin had always been in their hands. That was a ticking time bomb to Hesper, especially after Nathaniel started working with Raheem. Nathaniel hated Benjamin to his bones, so if he knew Ranfik was holding him, Benjamin

Even since Zoya knew Hesper, she never decoded such a simple IP address, so she sent another text just to be careful. Zoya: [Could it be a trap? Don't go alone. Have you told Rickard about this?]"..." Hesper was silent for a moment. Was she the type of person who would rush into things? She was curious about what she was like in Zoya's eyes. She confirmed that she told Rickard about this and that she wouldn't be able to go alone in her current health. Hesper wasn't that stubborn. After a few minutes, Hesper suddenly remembered she didn't tell Zoya that she had been infected with the hallucinogen. If they couldn't find a cure in time, she wouldn't make it. If she wasn't sick, she wouldn't have relied on Rickard so much, and maybe she might have gone to find Benjamin on her own after she got the information. However, although they were forced into this path, every step was still a choice they made. Rickard walked in with the medication and Hesper drank it all with a frown.

"...I have a feeling I shouldn't have shown up at this hour."'I have a feeling that your feeling is accurate.' Hesper didn't expect Lamarie to show up then, as it didn't look very smart. She always chose the worst time. She tapped her forehead while Lamarie ran away. Although the timing was terrible, Hesper knew why she showed up when she did. However, now that she had left, there was no way she could get her to come back, so Hesper just texted her and saw how long it would take her to read it. After thinking about it, when Lamarie rushed in and met Rickard, she probably didn't see Hesper lying in bed looking sick before she left again. Hesper calmed down, then Lamarie texted her back. Lamarie: [The Bernards sent someone over to say Delphine and Ermine were sent away by Master Bernard, and it happened a few days ago!]She didn't expect that this was what Lamarie wanted to talk about. However, Hesper also didn't imagine that even though the two had been kicked out a few d

Hesper trusted her instinct more than she trusted anyone else. That was why when chills suddenly ran down her spine and she remembered her trust for Master Bernard, she suddenly had a feeling the man wasn't too different from Silvan. They gave the impression that everything was alright. Furthermore, the knowledge he possessed and the way he thought were very different from the people here. Anyone would feel that he was a mild-tempered old man who loved the outside world. However, if that was the case, taking back the power from the Bernards would be more of a burden for him. Frowning, Hesper didn't have solid proof that Master Bernard had more plans, but it seemed that most of the things he said to her were possibly half-truths. Half-truths sound real, so maybe Master Bernard did look forward to living outside of the island; there was more room for development outside.However, how would this clash with his ambition?All Hesper could think of was that she was glad the agree

Before she fell sick, she would rarely rest for such long hours. Rickard was starting to disappear, but Hesper knew he probably was showing up as the masked man. She didn't ask him what he was busy with recently. She would eventually get her answer when he wanted to tell her or when he thought the time was right. Two days after the engagement party, Ranfik started behaving, possibly because the Mustafas were in a blunder. The news about the three families working together had gotten to them. Although the Mustafas were the strongest, with the other three working together, the advantage they had would disappear. Two fists would never win against four hands. Camille just hoped Ranfik wouldn't come to see her. She had been spending money like it was nothing. She remembered how she used to calculate every penny to avoid wasting money. Now buying anything she wanted seemed to become a sickness. That made Camille worry about her future because it was easier to go from counting

It was just as Hesper imagined. Rickard didn't expose his identity the first time she was there and no one made special arrangements. Although they were going as merchants, it was different from the previous time. This was too luxurious. Not only did they not have to go in through the same entrance as everyone else, but they went through a special tunnel. The people working there were really respectful toward them and provided a list of all the items in the auction for that day. Hesper wondered why they didn't get a list the previous time. They did have one; it just wasn't distributed to the people downstairs. Hesper clicked her tongue at that. She didn't know how to describe it but that felt clever. They would be able to arrange for a last-minute auction item under those circumstances. Vitalis was a good example, and it was sold at an unexpectedly high price. Everything that was auctioned was not something you could find easily. However, Hesper didn't need anything else. Whe

However, after hearing Rickard’s explanation, Hesper couldn't help but feel that perhaps it wasn't a coincidence that Cheney appeared on the island at this moment—— Come to think of it, she was also quite a mysterious person before this.‘It’s just that I don’t really know what her attitude towards me is.’Hesper did not intend to reveal her identity today, she just wanted to go home with the flower, without causing any commotion.The auction started shortly, but none of the members of the Savatiers came. Ever since the Savatiers made a comeback on Leafdelle Island, it was rare to see their members on such occasions. After all, the family was in a state of complete waste before rebounding, and plenty of reconstruction to be done, so spending money was the least of their worries at this moment.Hesper had skimmed through all the other auction items but was not interested in any of them, she was only waiting for the Iron Blossom.After waiting for half an hour, the auction of the Ir

It no longer mattered what the other party’s purpose was. What was important was that they could not give up on either of the two items.The people below did not know what Iron Blossom was, but by itself, Vitalis was already an extremely important thing to them.‘Who cares about the other flower? We’ll get rid of it once we get our hands on Vitalis.’The auction began and the crowd started to bid hysterically, but none of the four major clans were there, so after quite some time of bidding, it finally stopped at $45 million, and the bidding gradually slowed down as the increase in bidding price became careful and cautious, not exceeding $100,000 with each bid.This was already the most rational and affordable price that they could come up with.When she felt that the bidding below was about to come to an end, Hesper was about to raise her placard to secure her win when she heard Cheney’s languid voice. "75 million."Hesper was astonished.‘What in the world does Cheney want the

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
