"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

After walking for a while, Rickard felt the hand slumped by his side move, and then the person in his arms giggled. Although it wasn't loud, it was heard. "Good acting." Hesper's voice was coarse but it was clear. "You're really good at lying, huh? Even I thought I was going to die, let alone Julian and Ranfik."Before she could finish, Rickard held her tighter in his arms. "Don't say that. Never heard of a jinx?"Feeling the strength in his hug, Hesper's smile faded as she patted him on the back to console him. "Don't worry, I'm fine, aren't I? You got here in time."Ten minutes ago, when Rickard rushed there, he received a text from Hesper telling him about her situation. The intensity of the gas increased in the beginning, but later on, when it hit a certain amount, Hesper realize the air around her was getting lighter.Instead of killing her, it seemed to be more to scare her. Although the hallucinogen in her body did affect her, Hesper had been training for a long time

After resting a while in Rickard's arms, Hesper finally had time to ask about the details. "After you went in, Zaylour and I saw Julian and Nathaniel walking over from far away." Renee recalled what happened and frowned, then told them what happened. "Fortunately, you got here in time."Hesper sighed in relief after hearing the entire story, but she suddenly felt dizzy and realized she wasn't as good as she thought, so she closed her eyes and stopped talking. When they finally got to the hospital, there was a passageway that was exclusively for the Savatiers. Hesper and Rickard went through it and everyone looked over. Too many people knew who the couple was; many were at the hospital. When they saw them walking in, they were curious… What was wrong with Hesper?Meanwhile, Ranfik brought Nathaniel and Julian home, but then he let Nathaniel go. He was keeping Benjamin in private, and although Nathaniel had a lot of messy schemes, he worked for Raheem. If Ranfik suddenly of

Meanwhile, Hesper was feeling much better after some simple procedures. Although the gas was in her body for a long period of time, she was consciously controlling her breathing in the beginning. She might be weak for a short period of time, but it wasn't too damaging. However, it wouldn't work if it wasn't damaging. On the way to the hospital, Hesper and Rickard figured out their next steps, and that was why they openly walked in through the passageway and let everyone see how bad her condition was. Once the news got out, people who had been laying in wait would start showing themselves. Hesper had been wondering if she was too showy recently. Ranfik was rejected so many times, so when they saw what happened to him, they were probably more careful around her. Whatever they saw now was what they wanted them to see. They should use her sickness to lure out those who were hiding and take them all out in one go. "Excuse me…" The doctor looked at the two anxiously. Everyone o

It wouldn't have been easy for him to calmly tell them what was going on. Juliette made a lot of mental notes in her mind and thought Rickard was very pitiful. "What happened? Why would she suddenly inhale that gas and go into a coma?"Quincey wasn't as easily tricked as Juliette, so Rickard turned around. "We went to rescue her dad, but instead of doing that, we were ambushed by the Mustafas."When Benjamin was mentioned, Rickard lowered his eyes. He wondered where he was now. He thought Nathaniel would bring Benjamin back but he found out from Hesper that Benjamin's men had taken him away during the chaos. Although they didn't have an update about it, it was probably successful. Now that they had Benjamin, it was only a matter of time before they met. The Savatiers could not sleep that night. Rickard returned to the hospital after giving them the news. Just in case people were scouting them out, Hesper was hooked up to IV drips and sleeping in the critical care room. Wh

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
