But at the time, they only thought of it as casual talk. After all, Mr. Chronos had always appeared to be an embodiment of abstinence, so they could not imagine that he would develop feelings for anyone, let alone have a wife. Therefore, no one expected it to be true.Rickard raised his head, stared at the lady on the stage, and stretched out his arm. "Come.""Why are you here? This is so sudden." Hesper grabbed Rickard’s hand as she jumped off the edge of the stage and raised an eyebrow. "This is just a small matter. Don’t you believe I can resolve it by myself?"Upon hearing Hesper’s question, Rickard felt somewhat helpless. He supported her as she landed and explained, "I just so happened to be passing by this area and thought of your big show here today, so I came over to look."Hesper could feel that Rickard was advocating for her both openly and subtly. She pursed her lips together, and amusement flashed across her eyes.Seeing this, Yale instantly stood aside, afraid that M

It was a somewhat intimate title.Rickard pursed his lips and said nothing else while Hesper’s almond eyes glistened with affection, but the warm and beautiful scene was soon shattered because Renfrew had appeared.Looking curiously at his daddy and mommy, who were only inches away from each other, Renfrew asked, "Mommy, are you suffering from a sore throat? Why does Daddy have to be so close to you to listen to you talking?"Hesper cleared her throat, distanced herself from Rickard, and her ears blushed. "Ren, why did you come up all of a sudden?"Renfrew usually stayed downstairs and rarely came upstairs, so Hesper and Rickard did not close the door. At this moment, being seen by Renfrew, they still felt inexplicably embarrassed even though they were not doing anything.Having said this, Renfrew suddenly remembered something and then said seriously, "It’s Aunt Sherrie. She said she wants to see you."‘Sherese?’Ever since Sherese and Christopher met the other day, they had not

But this was where all the evidence pointed to so far. If Brigette was truly still alive, how could it be possible that there had been no contact at all over all these years? Rickard must have prepared many materials beforehand, but he was not as heartless and indifferent as he portrayed himself to be.He must have conducted a series of investigations before arriving at the conclusion, so Hesper trusted his judgment and could only watch as Sherese wept quietly."This dress does resemble something Mother would embroider, but I know it’s not." Hearing Sherese’s words, Hesper was momentarily astonished, and Sherese continued, "The things that Mother embroidered do look a lot like this, but never embroidered this particular flower before. Given her skills, even if she had studied embroidery for a few more years., she still wouldn’t have been able to create something like this.”After getting over her initial joy, Sherese quickly realized it was all a deception. That was why she had not

Hesper fully supported Yale on this front. After all, doing the right thing and persisting to the end had always been a commendable attitude to uphold. Moreover, with her influence, it was just a piece of cake for her.As for Yale, he did not disappoint Hesper either. Yale made good use of the window Hesper gave him, brought August and the others to court, and naturally got a substantial amount of compensation.This could be seen as a reckoning for the past few years.After solving the matter on that front, there had not been much progress in the investigation regarding Christopher. However, Liam came knocking on the door once again at this juncture.Hesper was a little surprised. After all, she had always felt that Christopher and Liam were inseparable, carrying both the honor and disgrace of the Turners. Apart from that, during this period of time, ever since Christopher had lost contact with Sherese, he had clearly become much more restrained.Perhaps he also realized he had ex

Hearing Liam’s words, Hesper raised her eyebrows, thinking that this seemed a little too coincidental. However, the fact that she had studied under Professor Miles was known to only a handful of people, who were all trusted individuals.Therefore, it was impossible for Liam to know that she was a student of Professor Miles. This was just a coincidence.Realizing this, Hesper’s expression relaxed a little, and she nodded. "I can help you take a look at Lily’s condition. However, as you mentioned, you’ve asked around numerous times before this, and you know that only one doctor can cure her. If so many doctors have said that it’s impossible, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to succeed either."Hesper’s response was impeccable.Seeing that she had agreed to it, Liam gave off a hint of excitement through his expression and nodded. "That’s okay. As long as you’re willing to help me take a look at her, everything else can be worked out.""Alright." Hesper agreed. After all, Christoph

‘What’s even more outrageous is that Matt actually agreed to do so? Hasn’t he always been at odds with Rickard? Since when did they start contacting each other behind my back? And it has reached a point where this fella would let Matt handle his work in Duval Group?'This is ridiculous!’Taking a deep breath, Hesper did not press further. Since they had already made their decision, there must have been prior communication between the two of them. If she were to say anything at this juncture, it might seem that she was questioning their choice.What was more, if they had resolved the previous conflicts between them, it would be good for her."Although your brother may not see eye to eye with me, he respects your choice." Rickard ruffled the top of Hesper’s head. "At the end of the day, he’s a good brother."Hesper was taken aback for a split second, but she seemed to understand why Matthew had forgiven Rickard in an instant—— In fact, the two of them had very little to no interacti

Hesper could sense the distinctly different treatment she received this time compared to her previous visit. However, this was within her expectations.As for Liam, he had set aside every task on hand and came to guide her personally."Lily’s room is right here."Hesper glanced at the most secluded room in the entire mansion and lifted her eyebrows. Liam noticed her reaction. Feeling embarrassed, he immediately explained, "This is because Elle’s health is very poor. She’s also my favorite child, so I’ve been a little overly cautious about her."Remembering what Lily had told herself before this, Hesper seemed to understand that it was probably Lily’s decision to move to this corner of the mansion. Given her frail health, Liam would not dare to go against her wishes, fearing that more problems might arise.That was the reason why Lily was staying here.The room faced away from the sun, and Hesper took a moment to observe it before saying, "Even if Lily likes this room, she shouldn

Lily nodded and took Hesper into the room.As Hesper expected, the room was dimly lit even though it was noon. Hesper frowned and sat down with Lily. "Although you have some issues with your father, you know your own body the best," Hesper said. There was a hint of worry in Lily's eyes as she typed, [I know my body isn't well, but can it really be cured?]"Give me your hand," Hesper said. She did not like the idea of white lies, even though it meant good most of the time. She had to examine her condition before knowing if she had a chance to cure her.Lily extended her hand to Hesper without any hesitation. Seeing how much Lily trusted her, Hesper felt like a heavy weight on her chest. As she earnestly examined her condition, she felt something unusual and furrowed her brows.When Lily saw her expression, understanding dawned upon her, and the light in her eyes dimmed completely.Many people had shown this kind of expression in front of her. She had long grown accustomed to it

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
