Chapter 1310

Author: Oopsie Daisy
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

    On the way back, Hesper's mind was on Sherese. It had been four to five days, so she hoped nothing had happened to her. When they arrived at Turner's mansion and the people at the gates saw Lily, they immediately opened the gates and looked at Rickard. They were amazed at how capable this man was. Rickard had his mask on, so no one could tell who he was. When the butler saw Lily, his eyes welled up. "Little Ms. Turner. You've suffered!"Hesper watched the reaction of the people and knew Lily didn't lie just to help them. The entire household loved her wholeheartedly. Rickard and Hesper stood aside and became part of the backdrop. "He's coming."Rickard's voice was heard while Hesper turned to look at the people who entered with a serious look. They knew Master Turner was here. Liam Turner shared Lily's features. He didn't look old or as serious as they imagined, but he looked anxious. When he saw Lily, the anxiety disappeared. "Elle!"Lily looked helpless as if to hint t

    "Why are you looking at me? Answer their question."The man closed his eyes and thought, 'Here goes', then yelled, "Master Turner's brother bought her!"Liam, Hesper, and Rickard were all confused. The place fell silent as Liam's face turned into a frown. "Why would my brother do that? Tell us where you took the girl. I'll feed you to the sharks if you lie again!"The man crawled behind Rickard when he heard that. "Why would I lie about that? Your brother really did take her. You can ask him if you don't believe me."That made sense. Everyone was there, so if he said it just to get away, there was no reason to make up such a ludicrous lie. All they had to do was bring Liam's brother over, and his lie would fall through. So— She was in the Turner mansion?Liam kept his frown and asked the butler to call Christopher, who soon picked up and sounded surprised. "Why are you calling? Did you find your precious daughter?""I did, but there's another reason I'm calling." Liam frowned

    "Dick, Hes?"Hearing Sherese's voice, Christopher swore. "So, you're not a mute. That's why when I spoke to you in sign language, you ignored me. It's because you didn't understand."Sherese walked to Rickard and Hesper, knowing they were there for her. She felt guilty. "I'm sorry for worrying you."Rickard had his mask on, so people couldn't see his anger, but Hesper knew Rickard was worried.Sherese didn't seem to have been through any hardship, and the younger Mr. Turner didn't seem to be a very smart man. Hesper whispered. "No one did anything to you, did they?""No," Sherese's answer was clear. "He's been taking care of me for the past few days. I was slightly injured when I was taken, but he brought me back and saw to my recovery."However, he looked so stupid, Sherese didn't want to speak to him for fear that her IQ would drop a few points. However, she looked around and saw Liam bringing out a whip and running after Christopher. Christopher didn't know what was going on

    Sherese didn't know what to say. Although this man looked stupid, he did save her, so she shook her head and said, "He's right. He didn't do anything to me and has been taking care of me and treating my wounds."Liam's face relaxed a little. "That's better.""I told you I was innocent! I was going to explain, but you wouldn't listen." Christopher looked sad as he looked at Sherese. "Are these your family members? Are you leaving?'Sherese nodded. "Thank you so much for your help. I will pay you back for the medical fee."Christopher chuckled. "Do you think I need the money? That's charity, so I get good karma. No need to thank me; it's nothing."Sherese didn't insist. After finding Sherese, Hesper and Rickard didn't want to get involved with what was left because it was the Turner family's matter, so they brought Master Summers back with them. "Excuse me. I didn't do anything to Ms. Duval before Mr. Turner took her away. You can pin anything on me, right?" The man looked at

    When they returned to the mansion, Sherese lost all her energy. Although she looked brave, there were multiple times when she was very high-strung in the past few days. If she hadn't bumped into Christopher, who turned out to be a silly but good man, who knows what could have happened to her? Although she didn't say it, Sherese knew Rickard and Hesper had been searching for her and were worried about her. She was supposed to search for her mother, but not only did she not get information about her, she caused problems for Rickard and Hesper. "It's fine, don't worry about it."Hesper patted her hand as if she had read her mind. "We came to Montequinto mostly because Mr. Summers Sr. asked us to help him find his son. We wanted to repay what he did for us previously."Sherese knew that wasn't the truth but still felt touched. "Thank you, Hessy."Hesper shook her head while Rickard remained quiet. Sherese walked toward him and lowered her head. "I'm sorry. You can beat me up or

    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.
