Hesper thought about Rickard's question, then after a long pause, she replied. "I don't know, but the first one would probably be… Grandpa misses you."That was the first reason Hesper wanted to meet Benjamin. Maybe she complained along the way, but after going through so much, she no longer thought that way. She was calmer than anyone about meeting the father she never had. Since she wasn't feeling well, no one disturbed her rest. She had to deal with spies coming to check on her, so if she wasn't careful, their plan might fall apart and people would be more careful. Hesper hadn't planned to act like she was in a coma, instead wanting to play dead. People would lower their guard if she was 'dead', as it would mean the end of her. It would also throw Nathaniel and Julian off. However, after some thoght, death was harder to fake. If someone would just give up when they saw her corpse, things would become tricky. That was how they ended up where they were. Rickard watched

Sherese knew there was no way she could convince Rickard, so she pursed her lips. "It took me long enough to get you back as a brother, so make sure you don't accidentally die… I wouldn't know how to face Mom."Hearing that, Rickard understood that she was telling him to be careful and was showing her concern. However, there were people he would always protect in his life, so he couldn't reciprocate this familial love that came out of nowhere. All he could do was lower his gaze. "Alright."***News about Hesper being in a coma spread very quickly. Ever since her arrival on the island, she changed the lifestyle of the people there, especially when treating people infected with the hallucinogen. She caused ripples there. Everyone watched Hesper and the Savatiers grow, but no one expected this accident to happen to her. The buzzing outside didn't matter to Hesper and Rickard because that was what they wanted."There will be a lot of people coming to spy at the hospital." Sheres

It would be Rickard's fault if she failed her fake coma. How could he put these two in the room with her? She was going to be exposed. Fortunately, Hesper wasn't able to stay awake for too long. She laid there with her eyes closed and soon drifted off. Sherese and Zaylour exchanged glances when they saw Hesper wasn't moving and went silent. Hesper woke up in the evening and saw the two were still by her bed. The sun was down, so there wouldn't be visitors at the hospital. "Did anyone visit today?"Hesper was annoyed at how easily she fell asleep, but she knew she wasn't made of steel. She was lucky enough to be still alive. Hearing Hesper's voice, Sherese turned around. "You're up. How are you feeling?"After sleeping for an entire day, Hesper was feeling much better and her body wasn't aching as much either, so she nodded. "Don't worry about me, I feel much better now."Hearing Hesper say she was fine, Sherese nodded and told her about all the visitors they had. Hesper

"Your sister?" Feeling somewhat shocked, Hesper lifted her gaze, and it could be seen that the emotions in her eyes froze for a split second.‘Although it’s only a forged identity, he actually came up with a plan to turn me from his wife into his younger sister?’While she was still pondering about the plan, Rickard explained his idea almost instantly, "If we were to appear in public as a couple, it’ll make us a huge target."Rickard himself had only worn a mask to conceal his identity all this while, so if his so-called wife were to appear by his side all of a sudden, someone would soon link them to Hesper and Rickard.However, even so, Hesper still felt astounded as if she had just been struck by lightning, and after a moment of silence, Hesper opened the documents that Rickard just handed to her.The documents were very rigorous, even if she were to look into the details in them meticulously, she still would not be able to find anything suspicious at first glance.But this wom

But making things difficult for Sherese now would not achieve much. Although this lady seemed to be rather resigned and taciturn, she had the same temperament as her brother. As long as she had made up her mind that she did not want to reveal anything, she would never say anything even if she was being forced. "If you want to know, why don’t you ask Rickard yourself?" Sherese hesitated for a moment, then said, "He might tell you, right?" Hearing Sherese’s words, Hesper shook her head. "If he wanted to tell me, I wouldn't have to inquire about it from you." Sherese had to admit that what Hesper said was correct. Rickard had been rather honest with Hesper most of the time, but whenever he had anything to hide, he would immediately turn into a passive introvert and would not utter a single word. Without pursuing the underlying meaning behind Sherese’s expression further, Hesper walked into the yard, saw a pot of carnation in front of the door, and could not help but let off a soft

As expected, a trace of astonishment flashed across Raheem’s face, while Ranfik looked at Nathaniel and Julian in bewilderment. And even if he had not been there long enough to understand the situation they were in, Julian knew that what Nathaniel had just said must have hit a soft spot in Raheem’s heart.‘Are they really yearning for the cure?’Julian originally thought that Raheem was the real culprit behind the hallucinogenic drug incident, and he wanted the Iron Blossom to develop the drug, just like them. He did not expect that what Raheem had been looking for all this while was the cure, and that was completely contrary to what he had imagined.Nathaniel was finally able to loosen his tightly clenched hands, and only then did he realize that his palms were already covered in sweat before he could come back to his senses."Grandpa, even so, they still stole our belongings. You should know better than me just how difficult it is to get our hands on the Iron Blossom."Ranfik di

Of course, the person on the other end of the call was Rickard.Knowing that Nathaniel might still have a way to earn Raheem’s trust, Hesper had entrusted Rickard to contact Raheem, and of course, not as himself, but as Mr. Behind-the-Mask.After hearing Ranfik’s voice, Rickard spoke after a short pause, "Master Mustafa didn’t give Nathaniel Tucker hell, did he?"After hearing the caller’s voice and question, Ranfik froze for a split second, and said, "Grandpa didn’t do anything to him, but Sir... How did you know this? Did Grandpa just call you?"‘I’ve only been dismissed less than ten minutes ago, and this man already knows what happened here. Just who is he?’Ranfik could not help but fear the capability of the man that he was speaking to.However, Rickard's left eyebrow was raised on the other end of the phone due to the slight confusion. He called at this time purely because he had just found the time to deal with the Mustafas, but judging from Ranfik’s tone, he should have

When she was pretending to be Camille before this, Hesper could feel that the task was a little too difficult for her to achieve, and the main reason was that she did not look very similar to Camille, but she still had to do so because she had to use Camille’s face in order to assume her identity.But it could be done extremely casually now, so Hesper would surely come up with a face that relatively suited her better.The face she used when she was in Fredonia looked a little too ordinary, and it actually resembled her own face a lot, so judging from how sensitive Ranfik had been all this while, he would definitely be able to realize that something was wrong very quickly if she were to wear something like that.The reason why Hesper was confident back then was that not many people knew that she knew how to disguise herself, but things were different this time around, as Ranfik was obviously a master in disguise.So when Sherese came to visit Hesper again, she almost failed to recog

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
