"Okay, then I’ll leave everything to you, Mr. Duval."After making up her mind, Hesper promised herself inwardly that she must do an excellent job to live up to the effort that she was about to put into this project, and she moved on with the drawing....Although the submission of the materials for the fashion week was troublesome, Jessie, Professor Xavier, and Roberto were there, providing her with all the assistance that she needed. However, Hesper did not think that the process was very time-consuming; on the contrary, she could not help but think that these few people were making a mountain out of a molehill."How is this a trivial matter?!" Jessie adjusted the lensless glasses on the bridge of her nose—— It was said that because too many people had been addressing her as Professor Jessie recently, she started wearing glasses to give others the impression that she was indeed a knowledgeable woman."This is the biggest event that you’ve ever participated in, so of course, we m

Sherese was deeply asleep and did not respond. She seemed to be stuck in a nightmare. Looking at her condition, Hesper’s worry intensified, and Frankie realized that something might be seriously wrong with Sherese, so he hurried out to make a phone call.Hesper held Sherese’s hand and discovered that her hand was freezing down to the fingertips, and her forehead was covered with sweat."Sherrie, can you hear me?" Hesper tried to talk to her again, but Sherese did not reply. Hesper could only cover her with the quilt for now and tried to check her pulse. Sherese’s pulse was all over the place, and it was a condition that she had not encountered before.‘We can only wait for the doctor and their machine.’After waiting for a while, the doctor finally came with some equipment. Seeing that, Hesper stepped aside and described Sherese’s current condition to the doctor. Her descriptions were so precise and professional that the doctor could not help but take a second glance at her.Shere

Although the outcome was uncertain, giving Sherese the inhibitor was better than keeping her in a coma and waiting for the result.After the injection, Hesper sat by the bed and waited for Sherese to wake up, but half an hour later, Sherese still did not show any sign of waking up. Still, the cold sweat on her forehead had disappeared, and her body's temperature had gradually returned to normal.Hesper breathed a sigh of relief; at least, it proved that the inhibitor was somewhat effective."I'll go contact Liam Turner." Rickard's eyes dimmed while Hesper retook Sherese's pulse, trying to see if there was any way to wake her up as soon as possible.'We'll have to get to the bottom of what happened before this to devise a solution to the problem.'Hesper knew this better than anyone else.After pondering for a moment, Hesper picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription, but traditional Halwanese medicinal herbs were not very easy to come by in Montequinto, not to mention that som

'The most suspicious party left is indeed the Turners.'Hesper and Rickard did not want to suspect the Turners, but so far, the most suspicious party was indeed them.Hearing this, Sherese bowed her head slightly, knowing that the two of them were only doing this for her sake, but Christopher was the one who had saved her and had been taking care of herself while she was in danger, so Sherese did not want to believe that he would hurt her.The moment this thought flashed across her mind, Sherese was astonished.'Since when did I become so trusting of Christopher?'On the other side of the city, after listening to Rickard's explanation, Liam's eyes turned gloomy. He asked his men to escort Christopher to them and responded, "Whether you believe it or not, Mr. Chronos, I'm not planning to do anything to you or someone close to you. As for your sister's condition, I find it very strange and suspicious too, but although Christopher has been rather naughty since he was a kid, he wouldn

'The most urgent task now is to stabilize Sherese's condition first, then find a way to locate the antidote.'Professor Miles got the list from Hesper, and after hearing more about Sherese's symptoms, he said that the prescription was indeed usable, but the only shortcoming was that there were two herbs in the prescription that even he did not possess.The only thing that he could do now was to find a way to locate the herbs as soon as possible then send it over when he had everything on the list.After glancing at it, Hesper knew that the prescription Christopher had given them was usable. It was at least a little more effective than what they were using now, and after studying it with Professor Miles, they decided on Sherese's dosage.Sherese was still awake, so Hesper thought for a moment."The most urgent thing now is to meet Master Summers' son. We must know what this drug is. Apart from that, you said you heard the voice of a woman when you got abducted. Who was she?"Shere

Just as night fell, Hesper could not help but sigh when she saw the casino before her eyes, admitting that she had gone to unnecessary lengths earlier, forgetting what kind of business Master Summers' son ran here in Montequinto.Rickard's and her appearances had undergone a certain degree of disguise, as they could not come here using Mr. Chronos's identity. After all, Mr. Chronos had been quite famous in Montequinto recently. If he were known to be here, the casino would welcome a massive crowd in the next few days."He has just been released. Will he come back here so soon?" Hesper's impression of that man had repeatedly outdid itself after hitting rock bottom multiple times previously; she did not believe he would return to work in such a short time.After all, she was told that the other party was a slothful man."I heard that Fenix Summers really cares about his casino." Fenix was the name of Master Summers' son, but his name had not been mentioned in any previous conversatio

"Two gullible customers have just arrived. It's their first time here, so they should be easy targets."Hesper and Rickard walked into the casino, and although they did not see the guards passing information about them to the employees inside the casino firsthand, Hesper had guessed that it was impossible for these people not to pay attention to two innocent-looking customers who were here for the first time.In the conversation from earlier, Hesper had revealed that this was their first time here. They came here through someone else's introduction, meaning they must want to have some fun during their vacation but did not dare to do so without guidance, and they were relatively wealthy.Sure enough, after the two came in, even though nobody approached them instantly, Hesper could feel that many pairs of eyes secretly watched what the two of them were doing nearby.Knowing that, Hesper immediately exchanged 50,000 Montequintan dollars for cash chips in front of the people around the

Hesper had already seen all these petty tricks that casinos used when she was staying with the Deschamps; not being fooled had become second nature to her. Generally speaking, casinos let their customers win in the first few games on their first visit, making them feel that luck was on their side and that it was beginner's luck.However, when they started to bet more chips, the casino would turn to a series of operations to make them lose continuously, to the extent that they would be left in complete disbelief. That would create a strong belief in the customers that they must have a chance at a comeback, and that was how countless gamblers went down an endless rabbit hole where they started borrowing money from loan sharks and then went bankrupt.Therefore, although gambling was not illegal in Montequinto, Hesper still felt that it was one of the most harmful things to do in life.The pleasure of winning and the pain of losing would instantly make people lose all reasoning, forgett

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
