Hesper felt a bit sympathetic towards the young girl before her. Seeing her current expression, she felt a twinge of compassion. However, this was a matter within the Turners and she could not interfere."It's almost time," a voice came from outside the room. Hesper turned her head to see helpers at the door, casting a probing glance inside. Lily waved them in, and they entered the room.It turned out that Lily's grandfather was about to arrive, so they were here to help Luly with her dressing and makeup for the birthday celebration that she was destined to be unwelcome at.Hesper felt a bit sorry for her and said, "I'll go with you later. Besides, I need to talk to Mr. Turner about your recent condition."Following the previous treatment plan, Lily's health had indeed improved significantly. Although she had a long way to full recovery, she was much better compared to her previous frail state. However, Hesper had not seen Liam for quite a few days either. If not for knowing ho

Hesper was good at hiding, and these two people clearly lacked any expertise in this regard. As she got closer, their voices became clearer."It's true that our father dislikes that little bastard, but Liam is different. If Liam finds out that we harmed his daughter, he'd be furious.""But it's only after she dies that we can inherit our father's property. You're well aware of that." The man snorted coldly. "Even if he doesn't like Lily, she's his granddaughter. She'll still receive a share from his inheritance.""You know about Liam's capabilities. How much do you think we'll get when that time comes?"Hesper frowned. Liam probably did not care about those properties at all. What these two were worried about might be something he did not value. Yet, they were trying to harm Lily. They had not noticed Hesper's presence. She managed to record the entire conversation. While the men were cautious and had not explicitly stated their plan to harm Lily, Hesper would not allow them the

For some reason, Hesper's thoughts were not about who this person was, but rather that she seemed familiar from somewhere when she saw the girl. However, with a second look, that feeling vanished. Thus, Hesper temporarily put aside the strange feeling and looked at Lily. Combining Lily's disappointment with the scene before them, she instantly knew who they were.That old man must be Lily's grandfather, while the other young girl must be Liam's eldest daughter from the rumors. However, this eldest daughter did not bear any resemblance to Lily or Liam. Coupled with the family's mixed reactions to her presence, an uncertain idea popped up in Hesper's head.While Lily was not warmly received, her appearance did attract attention. Someone leaned over to whisper something into her grandfather's ear, and his gaze swiftly turned toward her, growing colder. Even though Hesper could not understand his attitude, she knew that not everyone cherished their children. This was especially tru

However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Hesper was far from a simple character. Unfortunately, the woman before her habitually misjudged people and enjoyed provoking conflicts. No one was inclined to remind her of Hesper's identity. They all stood by indifferently and watched the commotion unfold. However, the helper by Lily's side immediately spoke up in defense of Hesper."Madam Oberden, she's Mr. Turner's guest. It would be wise for you to choose your words carefully and avoid causing any unnecessary trouble."Hearing the helper's words, Vivian Oberden hesitated and examined Hesper more closely. While her initial assessment had been dismissive due to Hesper's simple attire, upon closer inspection, Hesper's demeanor did not quite match that of an ordinary helper.It was just that she did not expect Hesper to be Liam's guest. She regretted her earlier remarks. She immediately put on a conciliatory smile and said, "I'm sorry, Miss. I tend to be straightforward and oc

With her puppy-eyes look, Luna resembled a fragile flower swaying in the wind. She tentatively extended her hand, seemingly wanting to grasp Lily's hand. However, Lily remained seated, her gaze fixed on Luna. It was as if she could see through everything. Luna flinched and eventually withdrew her hand, her eyes turning red at the corners. "Lily…"She made her look like Lily had bullied her. However, Lily just sat there, not doing or saying anything. Luna's eyes reddened as if Lily had done something to her.People always said that the crying child got the candy, but this situation seemed to be taken to an extreme.It went without saying that Luna's seemingly pitiable act would not easily deceive Hesper. Lily continued to observe Luna calmly, turning the encounter into a one-sided performance. Seeing that nobody was paying attention to her, Luna stopped acting. She turned her head to look at Hesper, her eyes showing a hint of confusion."May I ask who you are? I don't recall seein
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1401
But she was still greedy and wanted more from the Turners. Hesper didn't want to judge, but she thought although there were all kinds of people on earth, Liam wasn't stupid. Even if he lost Lily, he wouldn't hand the family over to Luna. Hesper was very sure of that. It didn't matter how well Luna planned everything; since she was there, she saved Lily's life. There was no way Luna would succeed. "By the way, I think I heard Madam Oberden mention Elle's wedding," Luna said as her eyes widened. "Does she have someone she admires?"She knew Lily's condition and personality. Lily wasn't selfish, so with her condition, how could she want to be with someone?However, Luna tried to look innocent and sighed, "I know a good man, but he's hard of hearing. In my mind, I thought he would be a good match for Elle.""Ms. Turner," Hesper cut her off. "You should think before you speak."Luna seemed to want to retort and looked like she was going to cry, but Hesper quickly continued, "You

"I thought she was some big shot. Turns out she's just a family doctor who's audacious enough to push people around?" Joffrey was annoyed. "You should know who's the boss here. Why are the people around Lily always so rude?'It wasn't related to Lily, yet he pinned this on her. Hesper scoffed, thinking how ridiculous it was. Lily tugged at her hand and looked really apologetic, but Hesper shook her head. No one alive was able to shame her. Lily didn't try to stop Hesper anymore; she knew Hesper wouldn't be in this situation if she wasn't helping her. It was her fault Hesper was now the target of people she never met before. "You're saying I don't have the right to know more about Lily, but I'd like to know how much you know about her." Hesper took two steps forward. The old man stuttered, then said, "I'm her grandpa, so she should be the one trying to get to know me.""You really think so?" Hesper scoffed. "You're not a good role model."Most people there had no idea who Hes

Hesper patted Lily's hand, who nodded while looking resolute with her clear doe eyes. Luna, who was standing at the side, started feeling awkward. She thought someone would support her, but her expression said otherwise now. Everyone stood back, making her look even more out of place. However, Hesper and Lily ignored her, so she quietly left. "Luna is problematic. Why is she so ambitious?" Hesper paused. "It's possible that someone is supporting her in the dark, so be careful."Lily nodded. This was the calmest party she had been to after so many years. No one else wanted to get involved after what happened to Madam Oberden, Luna, and even Joffrey. Before the birthday party started, Liam managed to get back in time with someone unexpected. Hesper looked at Rickard, who was next to Liam. He didn't look surprised to see Hesper there; he nodded at her. Although she couldn't understand what he was doing there, she didn't ask him. Lily turned to look at Hesper, who nodded at

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
