Soon, someone came over to explain the script. They only needed to play regular shoppers in the mall, so they just had to stay calm and pretend there was no filming going on.It was relatively easy, and the pay was not high. However, Hesper and Renfrew did not really need the money. They only joined because Renfrew was curious and wanted to experience."That's easy," Renfrew exclaimed. Hesper nodded and smiled. "You'll get to see them filming later."Listening to their conversation, Jen seemed to understand why the two of them were there. Obviously, they did not need the money and had no aspirations of becoming stars. They were here because of Renfrew's curiosity."Miss, you're good to your child," Jen said, her eyes filled with envy. Just when Hesper was about to say something, they were soon reminded to be quiet as filming was about to start.Lily remained quiet as she observed everyone.The filming process went smoothly, with the main actors performing well. They only had to r

Hesper's composed voice calmed both Lily and Jen down. With a glint of gratitude in her teary eyes, Lily shook her head and lightly patted her chest, reassuring everyone that she was okay."I'm sure it was in here before. How could it disappear?" Jen's voice wavered with a hint of panic, her eyes slightly teary. Hesper furrowed her brows. "Are you absolutely sure the medication was in your bag earlier? Could it have fallen out when you were taking something else?""No, that's impossible. I'm always very careful because of Lily's condition. There's no way I could have accidentally knocked it out!" Jen replied without any hesitation.If the medication did not fall out from her bag, it only meant one thing—someone must have taken it. The sudden turn of events also took Renfrew aback. Clenching his fists, he said, "If someone really took it, they must be really bad!"If there were not any other asthma patients present and there was not any other medication available, Lily's life co

The people nearby snapped out of their daze after realizing the gravity of the situation. Someone immediately called the police. Jen's eyes were red as she turned and hugged her sister, appearing both pitiful and aggrieved. This incident meant they would likely miss the next scene.The police arrived swiftly, and with the surveillance footage retrieved by Renfrew as evidence, Theresa was promptly taken into custody. However, after the police reviewed the footage, they fell silent for a moment before inquiring, "Where is this surveillance from? Judging by the angle, it seems to be from the adjacent office building?"Hesper looked at Renfrew and he nodded back at her. With a hint of apology, he said, "I'm sorry, Officer. I know it's against the law to use someone else's surveillance, but I was really angry at the moment and didn't want Theresa to escape."Renfrew's serious demeanor was quite endearing. Though the police did not want to press charges, they still needed to determine the

A slight blush appeared on Jen's face. "Originally, we planned to follow the film crew, but they've already left. The pay for one scene wouldn't be enough for us to find a place to stay for the night, so we were just planning to wait here for a while."Hesper had not anticipated that these two individuals would be in such a predicament, especially considering their apparent upbringing and background."Mommy, can they come home with us?" Renfrew suddenly asked. Hesper furrowed her brow slightly. While they did have several guest rooms at home, it was not a decision to take lightly. These two girls were shrouded in mysteries, and Hesper was not very comfortable having such people around her. If not for the fact that they happened to encounter this situation today and their lives were at stake, she might not have gotten involved in this mess."Besides our home, I also have a property where they could stay temporarily," Rickard chimed in, taking Hesper aback. After all, Rickard was

If she had not run into the girls today, this request would have been much more challenging. After all, searching for a girl whose name was unknown in a vast sea of people was like finding a needle in a haystack. However, the situation had changed entirely now. Although they were not certain if Jen and Lily were the ones they were looking for, keeping them around would not hurt. It would be perfect if they turned out to be the ones, but it did not matter as well if they were not. These two girls were alone and helpless out in the world, so treating them kindly could be considered a charitable act.With these thoughts in mind, Hesper breathed a sigh of relief."Then what about Sherese? I thought you said you found her today?""Master Summers' son also took her away, but her current whereabouts are unknown. This kind of trade wouldn't have any records. We need to bring him out and question him directly to find out where Sherese was sold."Rickard's expression grew slightly darker a

This stupid son took his final hope. "You should know that I'm helping you because I want to repay you for what you've done for my Grandpa, but if something happens to my sister, even if my Grandpa did you wrong, I wouldn't hand Mr. Summers back to you."Jade could hear the harshness in Rickard's tone, but since his family was in the wrong for this. His son was his son, but should they disregard someone else's sister?Jade sighed. "If that is the case, I, Jade Summers, would like to apologize on behalf of my son."Rickard hung up. Sherese was sold a few days ago, but they had no idea who bought her and whether she was even in Montequinto. It was impossible for him not to be worried. However, under these circumstances, even if he was anxious, he had no choice but to finish his current task before searching for her. Ignorant to the conversation outside, Hesper slept soundly that night. When she woke up the next day, the series of discomfort she had that was caused by jet lag

It wasn't the best time to start an interrogation because Hesper didn't know what happened. The two girls weren't old enough, and Hesper wouldn't stoop so low, especially with Renfrew there. She managed to get some information just from a simple test, so Hesper didn't think the two girls intentionally approached them and were the scheming type. When the girls discovered that the person Hesper was looking for was taken by the Turners, they looked terrified. Although Renfrew was naive, he was sharper than a lot of adults, so he quickly realized the two beautiful girls before him could be linked to his aunt's disappearance. He pressed his lips together and decided not to communicate with them too much. Hesper knew there was no point rushing this, so since she had gotten some information, she wouldn't want to scare them away, as it would make searching harder. Furthermore, she had other things to tend to, so instead of spending time on something that couldn't be solved quickly, s

Lily seemed to realize there was no point in her running, so she stood there with her eyes saying, 'I heard everything.'"Come inside." Hesper sighed. Lily walked into the room and looked at Hesper and Rickard. Hesper said, "You heard something, but you might not know that the person missing is very important to us. She's my husband's sister and also my best friend."Lily quietly looked at her as she continued. "I lied to you. The Turners didn't take her away, but this is linked to them."Lily let her guard down when she saw that Hesper wasn't lying, then she picked up her phone and typed: [What condition did the Turners give you?]Hesper guessed they were on to something when she said that, so she answered, "They took someone and my sister-in-law. They said if they can find their lost daughter, they'll give her back to us."Lily looked down and only started typing after a pause. [You're right. I'm the daughter the Turners are looking for, but I have reasons stopping me from

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
