Besides, Benji was with Rickard, so it was unlikely that anything could happen. Taking a deep breath, Hesper turned and called Benji.Benji answered the call quickly, and as if he knew what Hesper wanted to ask, he said, "There's been a minor incident here, but Mr. Duval is fine."Hearing Benji's words, Hesper nodded. However, she still felt a lingering sense of unease for some reason. She asked, "Why isn't Rickard answering his phone? Is he beside you?""About that…" Benji hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Duval isn't in a convenient situation now. Due to the unexpected situation here, he has to go somewhere for a while, and it might be difficult for him to contact you.""Where is he going that he can't be reached?" Hesper furrowed her brows. "Let Rickard tell me himself. Otherwise, I won't believe you.""Mrs. Duval," Benji sighed, "Please don't make it difficult for me. You should know that unless it's Mr. Duval's instruction, I wouldn't tell you like this, right?"Understanding

It happened several hours ago. Although Rickard said he would not help Sherese, he asked Benji to investigate news about Brigette. Unexpectedly, instead of finding Brigette, they found Pierette.As Rickard's confidant, it went without saying that Benji knew the situation with Pierette. He reported to Rickard immediately, and Rickard sent people to get her. During this time, Pierette seemed to have been cooperating with a mysterious person who needed her pharmaceutical skills. However, she did not have much freedom and was being kept captive.Pierette was planning to escape when she encountered Rickard's group. Surprisingly, upon seeing Rickard, she ran even faster and swiftly got into a car. They followed closely behind. Soon, they noticed that besides them, there were others following Pierette.It was the mysterious person, and he was going to end Pierette's life. Their pursuit continued until they reached the entrance of Windsift City. Initially, the people behind them were ca

On the way to the hospital, Hesper had thought of numerous possibilities. Upon arriving at the hospital, she saw Benji waiting for her downstairs. Seeing Benji, Hesper let out a sigh of relief. The fact that Benji came down to meet her indicated that there should not be any major issues on Rickard's side. This was the best outcome she could hope for."Where is Rickard?" Hesper asked coldly. Benji could sense that she was furious. It had been a long time since he had seen Hesper this angry. However, he heard they had a heated argument back when they were on Leafdelle Island, so he assumed the current situation seemed quite similar."Mr. Duval's condition has stabilized, and he has been transferred from the ICU to a regular ward," Benji said as he took a deep breath. "Yesterday's incident happened too suddenly. Please don't blame Mr. Duval too much for it."Hesper remained silent as she followed Benji upstairs. Upon entering the ward, she remained calm, but her silence made Benji even

Hearing the familiar voice, Pierette realized she had been overly cautious. She took a deep breath and regained her usual composure. "Thank you for today's help. Sherese knows me too well. She might have located me quite quickly if it weren't for someone's assistance.""Don't mention it. I think you should know why I helped you," the man said plainly. Pierette nodded. "Understood. However, Hesper is cautious by nature. Things might go awry if we're not careful enough, so we should keep a low profile for now. Besides, we shouldn't underestimate Rickard either.""Okay," the man replied and hung up the call. On the other side, Hesper gazed at Rickard lying on the hospital bed, lost in thought. She again extended her hand to check his pulse and found that his condition seemed less severe than indicated in the medical records. While he had lost consciousness due to excessive bleeding, a concussion might be unlikely.Pondering momentarily and considering Rickard's previous unusual dec

"I see." Hesper was taken aback. Since Rickard explained everything to her, she figured she should forgive him now. However, she realized something and asked, "You can't wake up now, right?"He forged the fake medical report with the doctor to create the impression that he was severely injured. It would have jeopardized the plan if Rickard had shown up while appearing unharmed. After all, it was better for his subordinates to act while he was absent."Right," Rickard confirmed.With that, Hesper reached out and held Rickard's arm in her hand. She used her other hand to check his pulse, ensuring he was stable, and nodded. "Alright, there's no problem. You can stay unconscious for now."Rickard found it somewhat amusing, but Hesper had covered for him when Benji and Frankie brought Rickard meals. They did not know what had transpired and gave the food to Rickard."I'll find something to eat when I return," Hesper said. She could feel Rickard's gaze fixed on her, and she froze. "Wh

When she connected all the dots, she found it rather unsettling. The effects of that drug also happen to induce dependency. It might be a bit far-fetched to say that it was a coincidence. Hesper would not easily attribute it to mere chance without a reasonable explanation."You should go home," Rickard said, bringing Hesper back from her thoughts. "Judging by your complexion, you probably didn't rest well last night."The truth was that she did not rest at all.Taking a deep breath, Hesper touched the corners of her eyes and felt slightly sore. "Alright, you should also get some rest. I checked your pulse, and while it's not as serious as indicated in the report, your condition isn't that great either.""Okay."Hesper did not say anything further after hearing Rickard's response. After all, Rickard should have a sense of his own limits. She only wondered when the mole would be exposed and the truth revealed.*After Settling down in Windsift, Hesper could not help but think tha

After rechecking Rickard’s vitals, Hesper realized he was recovering well. He had always been healthy, so now he wasn’t doing too bad either, so she was relieved.“It’s best not to tell Sherese about Pierette and Juliette.” Hesper understood his intention, so she nodded in agreement. If Sherese’s hopes were shattered, she might lose all her motivation in Montequinto. It wasn’t the time to break the news to her, so it was best to keep it this way so she could get better when she awoke.Living in a dream might not be all that bad.After news about Rickard being in a coma, it sent shockwaves throughout Halwanest. They didn't have much information the previous time something happened to him. Although he was on the brink of death, with Hesper and Benji there, they managed to keep things under control.However, this was different. The rumors spread, and people kept adding weird information about his condition. Some even said he was dead.A lot of people were anxious.Hesper watched a

If Benji found out about this, he wouldn't be as nice as Frankie, as they had very different personalities. Hesper knew that, so it would be convenient for her with Frankie's protection. The rest of the people had started panicking about the announcement that Duval Group was going bust. [Honestly, something really happened to Rickard Duval, right? They didn't even try to make this sound serious.][Is this the end of the handsome director? That's so sad…][Hey you, you need to shut it. Didn't they say he's alright? You pretend to mourn when he's rumored to be sick, but you don't believe it when they say he's okay.]Seeing the chaos online, Benji felt his hair thinning, but since Rickard wasn't there and Hesper insisted on handling things, he had to follow through. The commenters weren't wrong. This was the most nonchalant announcement Duval Group had ever made through the years. Benji found it ridiculous after reading it, but Hesper always had her reasons, so he chose to believ

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
