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

Seeing the five to six women behind her, Hesper stayed silent. "Please don't misunderstand. These are all the people saved from the auction!"Hesper was surprised but quickly recovered from it. She was amused by how frantic Frankie was as he tried to explain the situation and nodded. "I know." Frankie was relieved. Hesper knew Rickard well enough not to worry that he would be hiding some other women behind her back. Although she was surprised, she immediately recovered. "Ma'am?" Hesper turned around, and that person was shocked. Although Hesper didn't dress up and was wearing a white coat, they could tell she was a mesmerizing beauty even before she dolled up. "Don't worry. We bought you from the auction just to save you," Hesper said, calming everyone down. "You're free now."Everyone was astonished. That was it? They were free?They never thought they would one day be free, so when they were sitting there waiting, all they could feel was fear, yet now, they were free.

There were still loose ends to tie up at the auction house. When Rickard got into the car, Hesper saw that he was holding the mask. "What's going on?" Hesper frowned because he no longer needed 'Mr. Chronos', but he said, "I was making sure that Fenix was unconscious for a longer period."Hesper didn't understand what he meant. Hesper wasn't expecting that answer, but she didn't think he was joking since Rickard looked so serious. "You caused the chaos there, didn't you?" Hesper would oftentimes bring a surprise—Laila, for example—and today too. Hesper soon realized he meant the two thieves, so she nodded. "What happened to them?""No, but the mastermind will have a hell of a night." Rickard sounded amused. "If this person was who you imagined her to be, Fenix being attacked and her formula stolen would be enough trouble for her."Hesper nodded and understood what he meant. "You want to take advantage of this chaos and ensure she exposes herself."The woman probably was

Although that was the case, she thought this was the best solution for now, or Hesper wouldn't have let her take it. She nodded. "Don't worry, I can handle this."This was a consequence of her own action, so she would have to deal with it.Hesper knew Sherese was feeling much better, and since she was feeling tired already, she switched off the lights for her and went back to her room to rest. ***Just like they predicted, there was chaos at the auction house. They immediately announced they would be ending the auction. It was something they both wanted to hear and since Sherese was feeling better, Hesper finally had a chance to breathe. Since White Coat and Fenix weren't around, no one used what was left in the office. Hesper wasn't worried about that because it was just left as a precaution. She hoped it would never be put to use. Renfrew soon found enough information about Chelsea and went to see Hesper with a frown on his face. "There's nothing special about her. She t

Having Frankie around was protection. Hesper knew Rickard was probably worried about her, so he asked Benji to come over and send Frankie to her. She pursed her lips. When they got to the venue of the fashion week show, Hesper didn't try to stand out. "This is my first time at a place like this," Frankie said, following her in his suit. He looked clean and harmless and didn't look like someone there to protect Hesper. He looked more like a friend who was there with her. That was the first time Hesper was there as a participant too, but she didn't look nervous at all and instead was exceptionally calm. That attracted the attention of many. River A was a known brand, but they didn't know what the designer looked like because this wasn't Halwanest. Hesper's identity wasn't enough to trigger a reaction, so many people were curious about who this lady was. Furthermore, Hesper wasn't from Montequinto. Some people looked at her and were mesmerized when they saw her face. They look

Sponsor?Hesper's eyes turned sharp. That was why Rickard was so chill. He had already used his 'money magic,' and that was why he was so brazenly there. They were not too far away, so Rickard could hear what they were saying and walked over. "What a coincidence, Mr. Chonos." Hesper gave a fake smile. A few other sponsors stood behind Rickard, but they were smaller sponsors, so they just carefully looked at Rickard, guessing who he was. Rickard felt a little helpless hearing the aggressive tone in her voice. "It's just a coincidence."Hesper raised her brows and nodded. "I believe that fully, but I'm sure you wouldn't let me realize it's you so easily, right? Coincidentally bumping into me while I walked around the venue with a handsome man."Rickard couldn't deny the second half was partially true. Bumping into her was a coincidence, but when he saw Hesper chatting with the man walking with her, he was a little unhappy, so he followed them. Hesper thought it was a littl

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
