It went without saying that she was referring to Hesper. Meanwhile, Hesper was contemplating the relationship between the two. On the surface, it seemed like the woman was taking the lead in these matters, yet she still appeared somewhat wary of Fenix. It was truly perplexing."You can just administer your new drug to her."Hesper froze when she heard about the new drug. However, the woman seemed disinterested. "No need. For me, her value is not worth the cost of the suppressant."Suddenly, Fenix realized that Hesper had been listening to their conversation all along. Although they were being discreet, it could still be dangerous if someone attentive were to notice something. A thought crossed Fenix's mind, and his frown loosened. "Then let's keep her here. I quite like her," he suggested.The woman remained silent while Fenix continued nonchalantly, "She's been dead for so long. You can't expect me to spend the rest of my life alone. Don't be overly unreasonable. These days, t

Not far away, Frankie was waiting for the pickup signal. He had expected Hesper to take a while before leaving, so he was surprised to receive her signal so quickly. When he saw her, he wasted no time helping her into the vehicle.The aftereffects of the drug began to kick in. Hesper retrieved a prepared suppressant from the box and injected it to alleviate the symptoms. She felt much better and sat in the back seat, catching her breath."How are you feeling, Madam?" Frankie asked.Hesper shook her head and smiled mischievously. "I left something in Fenix's office. It's in a well-hidden spot, a new creation by Zoya. It should be difficult to discover."Moreover, now that she knew about the connection between the white-coated woman and Fenix, all she had to do was search within Fenix's social network to find more information about her. Based on her understanding of Fenix, his information should be reasonably accessible. If there were truly someone who could be hidden away, that wo

With these thoughts in mind, Hesper recalled the encounter with the young girl she had briefly interacted with at Ernest's place and furrowed her brow. Back then, she had not paid much attention to the girl, but now, something seemed off in light of what the woman in the white coat and what Fenix had said. Considering that she could be Fenix's daughter, things started to make sense.Turning her gaze towards Rickard, Hesper asked, "Do you happen to know anything about Fenix's daughter? And what about his wife? Is she already deceased?""His wife has passed away," Rickard replied. However, when it came to Fenix's daughter, he did not seem to have any recollection.Suddenly, a little head poked in from outside the door. Renfrew heard that his parents had returned. However, he knew they were trying to save Sherese, so he did not make a fuss and just stood there observing.Seeing him, Hesper waved him in. "Mommy and Daddy, what were you talking about?"Hesper ruffled his hair. Recall

Frankie could not come up with a reason, and a brief moment of puzzlement crossed Rickard's eyes. It was only when Hesper cleared her throat that she suddenly remembered what she had done the previous night. She had not expected Liam to move so swiftly and already knew it was her."I saved a Turner yesterday. I was in a hurry when I came back last night and forgot to mention it," Hesper explained.Frankie quickly nodded and turned to Rickard. "Sir, should I let them in?"Rickard turned his gaze, silently seeking Hesper's approval. After a moment of contemplation, Hesper realized that having a partner in Montequinto would make things more convenient, especially considering that the Turners could be a valuable ally. She nodded in agreement.Frankie did not ask Rickard for his confirmation. After all, most of the time, Hesper could represent Rickard. With a nod, he went to open the door.Liam and Laila entered. Laila looked around, but she did not find anyone familiar. She turned to
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1341
She just gave everyone a fair chance, and coincidentally, the person who ran away was Laila. Although that was the case, Liam wasn't the type who would pretend they didn't have to repay when someone helped them, or he wouldn't have come over, so he spoke."You can tell me whatever you need. Maybe I can help. I'm not someone who would forget when someone helped me, so if this girl weren't saved yesterday, I would probably have to dig her up from elsewhere.""Liam…" Laila was shamed, but she wasn't in a place to speak up, so she awkwardly smiled and took a deep breath before turning to face Hesper. "Tell us whatever you want. My brother has the money."Hesper nodded. Liam knew they weren't simple, so he didn't say anything. "I really didn't overthink yesterday, but now that you offered, I won't be shy."Liam nodded and seemed to have recalled something. "By the way, the girl who was with Christopher, was she drugged? How is she now?"Hesper didn't expect he would still remembe

Rickard was there to delay them, so the people at the auction would notice that once the auction begins, someone would suddenly raise their hands and the price would increase, and that would repeat. Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and stood up to say, "Stop wasting our time."The person next to him stood up too. Usually, the final item would already be seen at this hour, but this person kept increasing the bid; they were only halfway through the items. Rickard calmly spoke up. "I paid."Everyone went silent because he was right. Although he kept interrupting and increasing the bid, he did buy everything in the end. He bought more than half of the items there. He wasn't just doing it for the fun of it because he paid. No one could say anything more. Most importantly, since Fenix was in a coma, the auctioneer couldn't decide. Since Rickard was a big spender, they wouldn't want to anger him, so after some thought, they could only let him delay it. ***Meanwhile, Hesp

"It's definitely here. Luck is on my side because who knew something would happen at the auction, but it works for us." Another person finally spoke. "Hurry. We'll leave immediately after finding the meds. If we get caught, it wouldn't be worth it.""Okay."Medication? They were there for that?However, she didn't get any information from listening to them. The only reason they managed to get in was because of Rickard. The windows were open, so the wind blew at the curtains. Hesper frowned; it was a bad place to hide, as the pair immediately noticed her. Hesper walked out of her hiding place and looked at the two, whose expression went from curious to horror in two seconds. "How are you here? Didn't you just leave?""What do you want? Why not ask me for it instead of searching for it?"White Coat had a weird tone, and Hesper was very good at imitating, so she made it sound exactly like her. The two, who were still suspicious, immediately started panicking. "We just want the

The two would never think they would find the hidden door, and since White Coat didn't say anything, they got even braver and were confident when they walked in. After taking a deep breath, the braver one spoke. "Can we really search everywhere?"Hesper nodded because these two looked stupid but were quite lucky. They managed to find the hidden door so quickly that they might be able to find the formula for the suppressor and poison. This was good for her. The two would not understand she wasn't who they thought she was, so they rubbed their palms. If they could find the formula, it would be like hitting the jackpot. Hesper walked into the hidden room and would never imagine there to be this structure in there. There was no sign of it from the outside, but she understood why White Coat was so brazen. It was almost impossible for any normal person to get into the room, let alone find the hidden room. Taking a deep breath, Hesper looked around and could confirm that everything

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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1854
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
