Although she did not know what Rickard meant exactly, she believed that he would not deliberately mislead her in such matters. So she hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Alright, I'll trust you this time. But if I see you covered in injuries again next time, I'll hate you."For Hesper, telling Rickard she hated him was the most extreme comment she could express. She only hoped that Rickard would think about her when making decisions.Rickard nodded solemnly and said, "I won't get hurt."Hesper nodded in return.The opening of the black market was just two days away. Lily's condition had stabilized considerably; Hesper figured that she could leave for a while as long as people could ensure that Lily took her medicine on time every day.When Liam learned that Hesper was going to the black market, he was somewhat surprised. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you going to the black market? But... I heard that the Andersons are going there. Are they the reason?"Hesper did not de

Sherese nodded. After a while, she spoke in a seemingly lighthearted tone, "Then I wish you success. You must leave with gains this time."Hesper did not say much. She had a lot to prepare for her trip to the black market. She had heard that there were many rules in the black market. Moreover, she did not plan to draw attention to herself as soon as she arrived. Norman would surely be watching her every move. Therefore, when she went to the black market, she would assume a different identity.While Kenji usually remained low-key when accompanying Rickard, a change of identity would not hurt. She did not want to arouse suspicion as soon as she appeared."Mr. Duval has given me a few instructions," Kenji said stiffly as he allowed Hesper to fiddle with his appearance, "He has explicitly ordered that I must not let you go to dangerous places.""Alright," Hesper replied flatly, but she had her own thoughts. This time, there were many things she wanted to do in the black market. She

Frankie did not know what to do with her. Although Hesper probably would not care about what the neighbors would talk about her since they were only here temporarily, he could not just allow Sophia to kneel in front of their house."What about this, Ms. Sophia. I'll go inside and ask Madam. You stay here for now, and I'll bring you her response. Is that okay?" Frankie asked. Sophia knew that Frankie was soft-hearted, and she smiled with satisfaction."Sure, go ahead and ask."She was confident that Hesper would come out to see her.When Frankie entered the house, Hesper contemplated what else she needed to bring to the black market. Upon seeing Frankie's somewhat uneasy expression, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's happened?""Sophia is kneeling outside," Frankie replied.Hesper furrowed her brow slightly, and Frankie conveyed Sophia's words. Hesper was unfazed and replied, "If she wants to kneel, let her kneel for a while. I have other matters to attend to right now. I'll

After Frankie had brought Sophia in, he stood behind Hesper with Kenji. Hesper was dressed in a red dress. She sat languidly on the white sofa, appearing alluring and beautiful."Alright, you can speak now," Hesper said indifferently. Sophia felt somewhat humiliated as she clenched her fists.However, their situations now were completely different from several years ago. Even if Hesper now made her kneel to talk, Kenji and Frankie would likely make her kneel for real.In just a few seconds, Sophia began to speak. "I know where the person you're looking for might be going recently."'The person we're looking for?' Hesper raised an eyebrow. In fact, she and Rickard had been searching for Pierette only. At most, they might include Brigette, who should have long left this world. They could track Pierette's anytime, so finding her was not a problem."It's not the people you imagine. I'm talking about Chelsea. I know where she is," Sophia said. Hesper raised her eyebrows as she was
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1429
"Ma'am, do you think she's telling the truth?"Hesper raised her eyebrow and said, "At least she has provided me with some information. If Chelsea is going to the black market, my speculations are correct. Besides, I just gave her a verbal agreement. Now that she can't go anywhere, she can't do anything to me even if I go back on my words."Seeing the cunning expression on Hesper's face, both Frankie and Kenji felt uneasy. Whenever she made such a face, it seemed like something bad was about to happen. Although it might not affect them directly, it was still unsettling. They both took a deep breath and nodded."We're almost done with the preparation for the black market. Frankie, although you're staying at home during this time, many things need your attention," Hesper said with clarity. "I don't know why, but it seems that Christopher has some interest in Sherese."Otherwise, he would not have targeted her in the first place. Now that she and Rickard were not there, it would be

This way, no one should be able to guess that it was her. As expected, despite their conspicuous appearance, they did not attract much attention. After all, in the black market, countless people were of high status. If they went through everyone one by one, there would be no time for anything else."Miss, are you okay?" Hesper's seasickness was a well-known fact, and Kenji looked at her with some concern as they boarded the ferry. Hesper shook her head. As she took a deep breath, the salty sea breeze instantly filled her throat, triggering her discomfort. However, she had to overcome it."This ferry should be very stable. In theory, you shouldn't feel the ship's movements at all when you're inside," Kenji said with a frown. "Maybe your seasickness is a psychological issue?"Hesper paused. In fact, she had already vaguely realized that she might not actually seasick when she was kidnapped by Nathaniel. It might be more of a fear of the sea that prevented her from breathing normal

"I'm the second Young Master Anderson. You can call me Dean." He introduced himself.Hesper used an alias. "Hestia Deschamps.""That's a beautiful name." Dean's blue eyes looked flirty. "It's very windy out here. Are you sure you don't want to go inside?"Hesper shook her head, and Dean didn't insist. They could hear Briar's voice coming from afar, who seemed to call Dean to head to his room. "You should go, Mr. Anderson."The man nodded and turned to leave. Hesper watched him walk away while pondering. She had just infiltrated the black market and was already in contact with the Andersons. Dean would reach out to her again after this, so she would have the chance to meet the other two brothers. ***Hesper stood at the deck for some time, but some things were not mind over matter. The discomfort that came from her bones made her face turn pale. When Kenji saw that, he worriedly approached her. "Ma'am, should we stop trying? If the effects are subpar, it'll just burden you

The inside of the ship was what Hesper imagined. It was absolutely luxurious. No one could tell it was a ship by looking at the interior; it looked more like a hotel. Hesper never properly explored a ship like this, so it was new to her. Upon boarding, Hesper felt much better, but it was evident that standing on deck wasn't a waste of time. If she had come in straight away, she would probably have been like a dead fish, like when Nathaniel kidnapped her, but now she had the energy to walk around. Like her, other people were looking around. Not many came from money, so this was the first time they boarded a ship like this. The people in the black market were from all walks of life. Someone watching Hesper scoffed, as she acted like she came from the countryside. Hesper and Kenji turned around and saw a girl dressed from head to toe in luxury brands standing behind them. "Country folk are such a joke, looking as if they're seeing for the first time."Hesper didn't know why tro

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
