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

The way he said that sounded like an order, and it made people uncomfortable, but Liam didn't mind that. He sighed, as he cared about what Rickard thought. "Did Hesper do something?"Rickard sounded understanding, and Liam understood he wouldn't mind if their relationship were known, so he looked at Joffrey helplessly. "The doctor you're talking about is this man's wife. She's a good doctor and is confident she can cure Elle, so I can't get a new doctor."Joffrey turned his head in surprise and saw that Rickard wasn't just some random person. Someone whom Liam treated with caution could only mean…That was why that woman was fearless. Joffrey realized he had offended the wrong crowd and stuttered before saying, "I guess it's my fault. I didn't know the doctor was your wife. She didn't mention it."Liam understood what was going on. Joffrey never liked Lily, but since Hesper was obviously trying to protect her, if he mistreated Lily, Hesper wouldn't hesitate to take action aga

"It's not what you think. Your dad didn't have a relationship with Pierette, but there's evidence that she had a child with Raheem Mustafa when they were younger. Your dad said the child is probably alive."Hesper cleared her throat and said, "You should just go back to calling him Benjamin. I feel weird hearing you call him dad.""I can't," Rickard looked at her with a serious look. "I have to be respectful to the elders."Hesper was confused because he always addressed Quincey as 'Quincey'. It was just a name, so he should just address him however he wanted to. Hesper decided to let it go and continued listening to his update. Pierette had a child with Raheem Mustafa, which sounded ridiculous. Since Pierette was very young back then, their relationship would be pretty messy, so having a child together was the least shocking thing that could happen. "To Pierette, this child was a burden and a mistake, so she gave it away soon after giving birth."Hesper nodded, and Rickard con

He was the youngest Anderson, had some cognitive issues, and was born deaf. However, the other Anderson brothers cared dearly for this silly brother of theirs. Luna invited him because she thought Lily wouldn't trouble Liam because of this small inconvenience. Lily would have to suffer through this quietly. "Anderson?"Hesper hadn't been there for a long time, so she wasn't very familiar with the situation in Montequinto, but she understood what the look in Lily's eyes meant and why she didn't want to cause trouble. She turned around to look at Rickard. If they didn't get rid of this man, problems would stack up. It would be difficult to communicate with someone whose brain wasn't fully developed, but his brothers should understand. They obviously wanted Lily to marry into the family due to rumors so that the families could join and they could have a say in how to split profits. This wouldn't fully benefit them because Lily hadn't had time to consider the pros and cons.

[Master Anderson, who told you Lily is your wife?]Hesper asked the helper to type out the words, and since Norman didn't know how to lie, he just answered. 'It's a lady, a pretty lady. She said she'll bring me here and Lily will be my wife.'"Pretty lady?" Hesper was curious, so she got the helper to type again. [Do you know what her name is? Would you be able to recognize her if you see her again?]'Yes!' Norman nodded and looked proud of himself. 'I can definitely recognize the pretty lady!' He signed. Hesper praised him and cheekily typed: [The pretty lady is your wife. She was just joking with you.]Norman didn't understand how that came to be, but the pretty lady was very gentle and didn't look anything like Lily, who looked fierce. If he had a choice, he would choose the pretty lady to be his wife, so he nodded.Rickard watched as the conversation happened and was speechless, but that was Hesper. She would find ways to make things work in her favor whenever she encoun

Not many people there understood sign language, but there were a few. However, they could hear what Hesper said. They wanted to know the answer to Jofrrey's question too. What was happening, and why did they say pretty lady?"Luna said she was going to introduce Young Master Anderson to Lily so they could get married."Everyone was shocked to hear that. Everyone could see that Norman wasn't the smartest tool in the shed, and he was a deaf-mute. Anyone who married him would be in for a tough life.Luna was Lily's sister, so how could she be so cruel to her? She looked so gentle but turned out to be a horrible person. "There's more," Hesper spoke up. "Young Master Anderson grabbed Lily and kept calling her his wife. It scared her. He seemed to have the mental capacity of a child, so how could he know what he was doing?"Hesper's tone was suggestive. When Liam heard Lily was scared, his face dropped, and he glared at Norman like a hawk. "I went to speak to Young Master Anderson,

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
