[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,

"It's my birthday party, so even if there's some misunderstanding between us, you shouldn't attack us like this."Hesper didn't expect Norman to change his mind suddenly. He probably felt bad because everyone was looking at Luna, and she looked nervous and helpless, like a child. Hesper frowned. Before he saw her in that situation, he was sure it was her. Either Norman was pretending to be stupid, or Luna came prepared. Lily walked forward at that moment and waved her hand. When Liam saw her, he was no longer interested in pursuing the matter. He knew Hesper wouldn't just target Luna immediately, which meant something was up with Luna. Aside from carrying her in his arms as a child, he never paid much attention to Luna before this. After his wife left, he only cared for and protected her because she was his responsibility. He was angry when something happened to Luna previously, but now, he could see that Lily and Luna had a falling out because of his attitude toward them.

However, it was not a big deal because she would teach this kid a lesson about the consequences of his actions. Rickard didn't see Hesper and Norman's exchange, but he could tell that something was going on from her reaction. The party's focus was still Joffrey and Luna, whom he protected at all costs. Luna smiled proudly among the crowd. So what if someone was backing Lily? She wasn't clever enough for her own good, so even if more people could help her, she might not be able to take advantage of her situation. She was just a worthless mute; she should accept that. Hesper didn't miss the change in emotion even though she was focused on Norman, but it didn't matter. Luna was just someone with a low IQ compared to Norman, so Hesper couldn't care less about Luna. Luna would only have her way briefly because what happened between the two sisters caught Liam's attention. Even if Lily weren't his favorite and he treated them equally, he was still the head of the family. He wouldn'

Seeing the sudden 180-degree change in everyone’s attitude, Hesper shook her head and could not help but sigh. The identity was the mask one wore when they were out and about.‘Without an untouchable identity, how much wrong and injustice does one have to endure out here?’Hearing Hesper’s soft sigh, Rickard turned around and introduced her. "This is my wife, Hesper. You haven’t met her before.""I’ve heard quite a lot about her recently." Eldest Young Master Anderson’s gaze shifted onto Hesper, and as soon as he saw her calm expression, a trace of indifference flashed across his eyes.‘As Mr. Chronos’s wife, she mustn’t be ordinary. I’d be surprised if she turns out to be a simple-minded and spoiled woman.’The eldest young master of the Anderson was born with a rather enchanting appearance and looked somewhat similar to his youngest brother but with a touch more femininity. He looked like a viper, with a deep and inscrutable gaze that revealed nothing.‘He’s clearly not just an

Hespers had not forgotten. Back then, when she was all alone and had nothing, it was Pennleigh and Eustoma who had helped her through all those hardships. Without them, there would be no River A and none of her subsequent achievements. Not to mention, Pennleigh was also her friend."I wasn't able to see you before because the Montequintan design industry has undergone an enormous change, and I’ve been busy dealing with some things as well," Hesper explained.A hint of longing gleamed in Pennleigh’s eyes as he stared at Hesper. He hesitated briefly before saying, "I heard you're married to Mr. Chronos, but you didn't mention it before. I thought you’d reconcile with Rickard."Hesper had indeed reconciled with Rickard, and Pennleigh’s guess was correct. But Rickard’s identity was still a mystery, so Hesper could not reveal much.Looking at Pennleigh’s expression, she realized that he probably had already accepted that she would never choose to be with him over anyone else long ago, b

"Hesper Rivera, I wish you happiness."After saying this, Pennleigh took a deep breath as if he had truly let go of all his past feelings, and a hint of tranquility appeared from the bottom of his eyes.Hesper gave off a gentle smile. "Thank you for your kind words. I wish the same for you as well."...The banquet lasted until very late in the evening. Hesper wanted to have a chat with Liam about Lily’s condition. In addition to that, some new doubts had come to her mind. Hence, she waited until the end of the banquet.Liam was a little surprised, considering that Hesper had not had much direct interaction with him before. Any matters regarding Lily’s treatment had been relayed to him through others. Therefore, the sudden desire to talk to him caught him off guard.Hesper folded her arms and looked at Liam as she said, "You must’ve figured it out, right? What happened today should serve as a wake-up call."Liam frowned. "Are you referring to Luna?”Hesper nodded. "I don’t know

Hesper wanted to trust Rickard, but his track record raised concerns in her book. If Rickard was only getting himself involved in some ordinary matters, or it was only because of Benjamin’s involvement, he might hesitate for a short while before coming clean, but he would not choose to hide it from her.Hesper’s brows furrowed. "I don’t know if you have something to do with Pierette Savatier. However, after spending some time around you recently, and based on Rickard’s judgment, I’m willing to trust you, but I don’t trust Christopher.”"About this..." Liam sighed and continued, "Chris is my younger brother, so of course, I don’t want to believe he’s involved in this matter. However, I can assure you that I’m not helping Pierette, and even if Chris were to be behind it, I really had no part in this."As for whether it’s dangerous, I can’t say for sure since it’s closely related to your family.""If that’s the case, Lily’s treatment will have to..." Hesper deliberately stopped in the

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
