Hesper waved her hand, and then she was attracted to the commotion at the entrance. She looked up and was surprised to see that Rickard had arrived. Many people present were familiar with Rickard. Even Ranfik turned his attention to Hesper as she ran toward Rickard with excitement in her eyes. He did not know why, but he disliked the scene."Why didn't you reply to my message?" Rickard asked. Hesper nervously cleared her throat and said, "I forgot to check my phone. That old man made things difficult for me. If you hadn't come, I would have had to swallow my pride."Even though she was trying to change the topic, Hesper was not falsely accusing Victor. Rickard looked at Hesper and knew she was trying to divert the topic. He patted her head gently before turning to look at Victor. If he had appeared later, he might have had a chance to offer explanations. However, since he was here now with everyone present, he had no choice but to clarify things.Seeing this, everyone knew

After they left the party, Rickard said, "Xander is here."The night before, Rickard immediately sent someone to take action after Hesper brought up the matter. She did not expect Xander to actually return to the island so recklessly. It showed how much he underestimated her."No, wait... He must have known that I was unconscious. That's why he had the nerve to come back here."Last night, Hesper had requested Renee to conduct an investigation in the basement. It was revealed that only one person was found inside, suggesting that Xander had managed to escape without anyone noticing for an unknown duration. Apparently, the surveillance footage had been manipulated to show Xander in the room the whole time. Renee felt guilty over her negligence. After all, Xander had attempted to harm Hesper multiple times, and they had finally managed to capture him. Yet, he was able to escape again. Renee figured that he must have done something else during that time. Otherwise, Hesper would not h

Xander was not someone who did not care about his life or had no desires. He had a strong will to survive, and that was his greatest weakness. So Hesper was patient and willing to wait.Meanwhile, the Savatiers were eagerly waiting for Hesper to wake up, but there was still no sign of her awakening after a month. To Hesper's surprise, the Savatiers soon regained their footing under the coordination of Quincey. Even the juniors she had intentionally promoted to higher positions played significant roles in restoring order.Though unexpected, Hesper felt somewhat pleased with the outcome. Concerned that the Savatiers might recognize her, Hesper had been maintaining a low profile during these days. She also treated everyone else equally and kept a certain distance from them so that they would not garner too much attention.Quincey seemed uninterested in trying to get closer to the auction house, which was a relief for Hesper. On the other hand, Caroline appeared eager to collaborate

Ranfik was unsure how to approach the subject, while Sharmila followed his gaze and noticed the potted carnation, mistakenly thinking they were roses.She curiously inquired, "Are these roses from Ms. Chronos's boyfriend? They're so beautiful."Frowning, Ranfik corrected her, "These aren't roses; they're carnations. Perhaps she just keeps them because they're pretty."Once Ranfik finished speaking, he fell into a contemplative silence. His eyes fixated on the potted carnations that resembled roses, and a profound emotion seemed to well up within him.'Even though Ms. Chronos has never mentioned having a lover, she also never explicitly denied having one…' He thought inwardly. Hesper was oblivious to their conversation. She only knew that Ranfik and Sharmila had come together. Sharmila was straightforward and she felt more at ease with her by her side. Finally finishing her work, Hesper sent the documents to Jessie before rubbing her sore wrists. She did not expect to be working

Nathaniel and Julian were doing well in the Mustafa household, so it was best not to give them anything to use against him. Ranfik nodded and turned to leave the place. Hesper realized Ranfik was gone when she came downstairs, so she looked toward Sharmila, who said, "He had some work to do, so he left. I'll bring you back.""Work?"Hesper thought about it but quickly nodded in reply. Although she thought something was up when he suddenly left, she wanted to know where he was going. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. Dealing with the Mustafas was more important.The people of Leafdelle were secretly planning something because Hesper was going to the Mustafas. Ever since 'Ms. Chronos' showed up, she seemed to have a good relationship with the Savatiers. From a certain angle, that showed the position of the auction house. When they arrived at the Mustafas' Manor, Hesper texted Rickard and soon got a reply. However, what was in the text made her raise her brows.Ric

Hesper didn't know what was happening on Ranfik's side, but she knew he would return empty-handed soon. She didn't expect the first person to suspect her would be Ranfik, but after thinking about it, it wasn't out of the blue. Ranfik was never stupid. However, no matter how smart he was, he wouldn't have been able to guess that the person before him was a fake unless there were clues. However, he wouldn't be able to find anything from the hospital. Hesper was confident because of her trust in Rickard. Ranfik wasn't in a good mood when he came back. Raheem didn't say anything when he saw that and only asked him to come in. The grandson he loved the most was looking more annoying by the day. He wouldn't think he was the reason, so he blamed Ranfik for it. Hesper's new year was pointless. When she was at the Duvals', Ernest was there, and there was the love she had for Rickard. When she was at the Lanes, Grandpa and Matthew cared about her. "You don't look very happy, Ms. Ch

Hesper could feel something was wrong when the two men met, so she grabbed Rickard's hand and said, "The Mustafas are really nice to me thanks to you, my dear brother."She emphasized 'brother'. It was supposed to be a normal thing to say, but it sounded intimate. Although Hesper was a little flirty and winked at him, Rickard knew the timing wasn't right, so he turned toward Ranfik. "I was just joking. Is Master Raheem here?"Ranfik's expression changed when the topic got serious. "Always." Hesper realized there was something she wasn't aware of after hearing their conversation. It was probably the part Rickard hid from her. Although she prepared herself for it, at that moment, she was still unhappy about it. She didn't like the feeling of being left out of the plan. Hesper didn't want to question him in front of Ranfik, so she looked at Rickard, but she couldn't guess what he was thinking behind the mask, so she gave up and stopped looking at him. Rickard wanted to prote

"Why are you staring at me like that? You're not a Mustafa, are you?"The man sounded confident, so Hesper raised her brows. The man then gave an indifferent look and said, "I know almost all the Mustafas, so I know what a woman like you is here for.""Oh really?" Hesper calmly nodded. "Tell me then. What does a woman like me want?"The man scoffed. "To seduce someone, of course, so you can stay on the island."The man was trying to say he wasn't from Leafdelle, and that there were a lot of people who were like him, and they didn't know who each other were.Didn't Leafdelle prohibit outsiders from entering?Why did the Mustafas quietly bring people in?The man spoke again while she was thinking. "The Mustafas would never be interested in a non-islander. The young master looks friendly, but he's actually very cold. "Although you look pretty, they still wouldn't be interested in you."Hesper wasn't really paying attention to him because she was thinking about why there were out

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
