Hesper's ambiguous remark momentarily made the guards nervous. However, observing Hesper's demeanor, it seemed as though she genuinely had no knowledge of who was imprisoned inside. Could it be that she was simply passing by?"We've only seen you once before, so we're just a little excited to see you here," one of the guards finally spoke up. "I see," Hesper replied indifferently. "Since Christmas is approaching, I'm in charge of the purchasing for the Savatiers. I heard there's a renowned market in this area, so I wanted to come and inspect it."The guards visibly relaxed upon hearing Hesper's explanation but remained somewhat cautious. "And what about you? You don't look familiar. Which family are you from?" Hesper asked.Knowing the strained relationship between the Mustafas and Savatiers, the guards hesitated, fearing they might inadvertently reveal something. Finally, one of them mustered the courage to answer, "We are from the Rikihisas. It's normal that you haven't seen u

The group fell into silence, thinking about how Ranfik had specifically instructed them not to harm Hesper if she ever showed up. They were frustrated but there was nothing they could do. Despite knowing that Hesper had ulterior motives and deliberately came to interrupt them in their task, they could not lay a hand on her. It had been ten minutes, and regardless of which entrance Rickard used, he should have arrived by now. Hesper no longer paid attention to their thoughts and said, "You all know very well what you're guarding here. It's already too late to inform Ranfik." As Hesper's words sank in, the expressions of the group underwent a noticeable shift. The doubts they had harbored earlier were now validated by Hesper's confirmation. They immediately tried to contact Ranfik, but the phone calls could not get through. Hesper did not expect Ranfik to let them down at this critical moment, but it actually worked in her favor. She had anticipated a heated argument with him, but

Despite the intimidating expression on Hesper's face, Nathaniel had said he would shoulder all of the responsibilities. Besides, the fear of being held accountable for their negligence outweighed their fear of her. Therefore, they went along with Nathaniel's order and took Hesper with them. The moment Nathaniel showed up, Hesper knew that things would not end well today. The silver lining was that they were unaware that Rickard was here as well. Considering the time that had passed, Rickard must have already located Benjamin by now.Furthermore, with Ranfik's influence and her own distinctive identity, Hesper knew that Nathaniel would hesitate to harm her in the presence of numerous Mustafa family members. It was this assurance that bolstered her confidence. Ranfik's influence over Nathaniel was her final trump card."Ms. Rivera, I'm afraid you'll have to endure some inconvenience here for a while," Nathaniel approached her and whispered. "Seeing how calm and composed you are, I

Although Hesper considered Julian's feelings for her as self-centered and obsessive, Julian did not show any signs of being affected by her remarks.Hesper quickly realized that her throat had gone hoarse, and it was only then that she realized the pill that Julian had given her was to prevent her from speaking recklessly. Since she was unable to speak, Hesper could only glare at Julian and Nathaniel as they commanded the remaining members of the Mustafas to search for Rickard's whereabouts.After giving out his order, Nathaniel did not join them in capturing Rickard. Instead, he approached Hesper and scooped her into his arms. "What are you doing, Nat?" Julian stepped forward and stopped Nathaniel. Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and asked, "If you leave Hesper here, do you want to give her a chance to escape? Do you think it's safe to leave her here?"Nathaniel was right. Hesper was no longer the same person she used to be. If she regained her composure and broke free from them, i

"Honestly, speaking from the bottom of my heart, I really hope that Rickard abandons everything to save you."Hesper's gaze turned colder, but Nathaniel burst into laughter amidst her piercing stare. "Hasn't Rickard always done that? He would sacrifice his own life just to save yours. It's just Benjamin. I believe he'll make his choice soon enough."Hesper gritted her teeth as Nathaniel turned and walked out of the room.The concentration of gas was increasing. Even a strong and robust adult would quickly lose consciousness in such an environment, let alone Hesper, who could not be considered a physically healthy individual at the moment.After all, the effects of the hallucinogenic drugs in her body were merely suppressed, and she had not fully recovered. Such a high concentration of gas would cause her to lose consciousness rapidly and then she would disappear from this world.Hesper had no doubt that Rickard would abandon everything to save her, but she did not want him to do t

Ignoring the long-time enemy Benjamin who was before him, Nathaniel leaned closer and said, "I have Hesper. If you leave with Rickard, all you'll see of her tomorrow would be her corpse."Hesper? That was an unfamiliar name. Benjamin paused but he felt something missing in his heart. Was this a little girl's name? It sounded meek, probably a young person. "Where is she?"Hearing the emotion that was different from his usual coldness, Nathaniel smirked and raised his phone, showing the control panel to him. They saw a woman curled up in pain on the floor with her eyes closed. Her scowl showed that before she passed out, she was going through some intense pain. The bad feeling in the pit of Benjamin's stomach grew even though he couldn't see the woman's face. "If you hand Benjamin Lane over, I'll give you her location."Nathaniel tossed the phone to the floor. Rickard looked up into Nathaniel's eyes, and without hesitation, he said, "Alright, take him. Give me the coordinate

When he left home, his Rachael was just so tiny… But now she had become the woman on the screen. After taking a closer look, he could see the similarities. His daughter looked so much like his wife, with a strong yet gentle face. Benjamin stretched out his hand to touch the face of the person on the screen. However, Nathaniel took the phone away a second later. Benjamin immediately had a look of despair, so Nathaniel chuckled. "You won't get to see her again. This room is filled with highly concentrated gas, so even if Rickard manages to get there, he will only get to see her corpse."Benjamin turned pale when he heard that. He managed to get out of his bindings and grabbed Nathaniel's arm. "What did you say?"Nathaniel wasn't expecting this much strength in the man, but when he saw the fear in his eyes, Nathaniel was satisfied. He would get to know what it was like to lose someone he loved. ***Meanwhile, Rickard found the place with the address Nathniael gave him. He coul

In that split second, Rickard clenched his fist and was going to hand Hesper over, but suddenly, a cold and angry voice was heard. "I don't know when the Mustafas started being so obedient and acting like dogs for outsiders."Everyone looked toward the person who said that with terror in their eyes. "Sir, what are you doing here?"It was chaos. Everyone who heard Ranfik's voice lost hope while Julian's expression changed as if he had seen a ghost.How could he show up here?... This wasn't supposed to happen!Julian finally understood what was happening when he saw Renee standing next to Ranfik; his eyes turned dark. "Hesper had a plan. I guess I didn't plan this well enough.""Enough with the bullshit. You came here straight from jail to surrender."Renee looked at Julian with hatred in her eyes. They used to be close friends who worked together, yet now he had become the knife that backstabbed Hesper. "Enough talking." While the crowd was up in arms, Rickard's voice was hear

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
