After lying in the hospital for a whole week, Hesper had lost touch with the affairs of Leafdelle Island. Apart from that, this new persona of hers was also in urgent need of someone to introduce her to the upper social circle of Leafdelle Island and to get her acquainted quickly, and from the looks of it right now, Ranfik was certainly a great choice.Hearing this, Ranfik was even more surprised. After all, Mr. Chronos was someone who never liked boisterous events and always kept his face hidden behind a mask whenever he was attending such occasions, so he did not expect his sister to have a completely different personality from him."What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"Hesper cast a flirtatious glance at Ranfik, and it made his heart skip a beat. "It’s nothing, I was just thinking about... Upcoming interesting events that I can bring you to."Hesper could not help but feel that Ranfik’s expression looked a little strange when he was in the clouds. If she did not k

When Benjamin came into the mansion, Hesper had already calmed herself down, and Rickard was sitting right beside her.At first glance, Benjamin instantly knew the lady in front of him was his biological daughter. It felt very different from the image that he had seen in the video; this person was more vivid and resembled her mother even more.After remaining silent for a while, Hesper stared at the man standing right in front of her, and reality finally hit her.‘He’s my father, one of the closest blood relatives that I have left in the world.’Before this, Rickard had asked her about what she would say to Benjamin when she saw him for the first time. Hesper thought she would be able to behave normally back then, but when this moment arrived for real, the emotions fluctuating within her were so complex that they were indescribable."It’s been a very long time." Benjamin was the first to speak, and his eyes turned bloodshot in an instant—— Being separated from one’s loved ones for

Looking back, Professor Miles might really be the one who told him about the cure.Hesper frowned slightly, and then asked, "Then why would Raheem capture you and lock you up?"Speaking of this, Benjamin paused for a split second, exchanged gazes with Hesper, and explained, "Because I know the exact formula of the hallucinogenic drug. I’m the one who told him about Iron Blossom."...On the other side of the world, the Iron Blossom that had been meticulously cared for by Stephen finally bloomed, and when he smelled the strong fragrance of the flower, his expression changed. He instantly covered his mouth and nose before taking a photo of the plant.Just as he was about to send it to Hesper, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from behind. Stephen frowned and turned his head around, but there was no one behind him. However, he was sure that he had heard something just now.‘Someone is certainly here!’"Who's there?"The flower was known as Iron Blossom, but its rich fragra

It had been too long since that matter, so there was no point in arguing about it now. In short, Xander was now safe and triumphant, and it was time for him to return to Leafdelle Island."Okay, I’ll arrange for you to come back here. You’ve made a great contribution this time."Hearing the man’s words, Xander finally gave off a shallow smile and left Stephen in the mess that he had just made. But after he left, the fingertips of the supposedly unconscious man twitched, and Stephen struggled to sit up from the ground.Rubbing the back of his neck, Stephen could feel that the area was already bruised—— Although he was about to black out from the fragrance of the Iron Blossom just now, he was still on high alert. A split second before Xander hit him, he deliberately fell to the side, avoiding a direct hit, so he actually remained conscious during the entire incident.As for Xander, he had always been very confident with his skills, so he did not take a closer look at Stephen’s condit
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1241
It had been a long time since Hesper had contacted the Bernards. After all, she had sensed the ambition of Victor. Apparently, they aimed to use the Savatiers as their stepping stone to climb to the top. Hesper had always despised betrayal and backstabbing. However, the upcoming event was Caroline's birthday. Since Ranfik was also paying attention to it, it would be a significant occasion."Will Mr. Chronos be there on that day?" Ranfik asked. Hesper hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said vaguely, "I don't know about my brother's situation. But he might come to pick me up when the time comes."Though she had come to terms with her identity, calling Rickard her "brother" still made Hesper a bit uncomfortable."It's okay. I was just asking," Ranfik said, assuming Hesper's pause was due to his prying into their personal affairs. Little did he know that Hesper just felt embarrassed calling Rickard her brother. Even though Hesper was quite familiar with Leafdelle Isla

Hesper was quite familiar with most of the people at the party. After all, she had been on Leafdelle Island for a considerable amount of time, and there were only a handful of people in the upper class of society. However, it was still early. Other than Ranfik, the remaining representatives from the other three major families had not arrived yet.While many were curious about Hesper, they were hesitant to approach her due to Ranfik. He had been one with little words, so no one dared to ask about her identity or the nature of their relationship. Hesper sat for a while, contemplating how different Caroline was from Delphine. Had it been Delphine, she would have made a fuss about someone stealing her spotlight.This made Hesper curious about Caroline. In the past, the Bernards had spoiled Delphine excessively, which resulted in her being forgetful of other people's names. Regrettably, Delphine turned out to be incompetent. If Ermine had realized this fact earlier and not allowed Del

If the Mustafas were to gain support from him this time…"Ms. Bernard?" Hesper's voice managed to snap Caroline back to reality. She noticed that representatives from the Savatiers had arrived, and Ms. Chronos seemed to be interested in them too.Given the strained relationship between the Mustafas and Savatiers, it would be considered provocative if Ranfik introduced Ms. Chronos to them. Therefore, it was more appropriate for Caroline to guide her since she was the host. However, this would be overturning Caroline's earlier assumptions, and she was uncertain of which side this woman in front of her truly stood.Ranfik had already noticed that the woman before him would not side with any party, and she had not received any instruction from that influential individual. Perhaps, even the powerful figure "Mr. Chronos" seemed unable to control his own sister. As a result, he remained calm and composed. Caroline could only nod in agreement and said, "Let's go together, Ms. Chronos.

For some reason, Juliette felt a vague sense of familiarity in the person in front of her."This is Ms. Chronos," Caroline introduced. She did not want to rub Hesper the wrong way, so she just told Juliette her surname. If Juliette knew Chronos, she would know who the woman before her was when she heard her surname. Juliette looked somewhat bewildered as she looked at "Ms. Chronos". She did not know who she was, but seeing Caroline's respectful demeanor towards her, she could tell that she held a significant status.Hesper did not try to explain for herself since all Juliette needed to know was her surname, and they just skipped to the next part.Caroline observed the woman's indifference towards those around her. It seemed evident that she had no interest in socializing with the representatives of the four major families, and Caroline thought it might be for the best. If "Mr. Chronos" were to become involved in the family disputes, it could disrupt the balance of power among them

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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
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
