"Rickard, slow down!" Hesper complained in a low voice, and hearing this, Rickard finally realized that Hesper was gasping for breath.The height difference between the two was already significant enough for Hesper to lose the race, and her heels were certainly not helping.Rickard sighed in resignation and slowed his pace."What's the rush? Are there ferocious beasts chasing us?" Hesper punched Rickard lightly with a hint of irritation. "Is this because Dean seems to have a crush on me? Look at you! You left in such a hurry that I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye properly."Hesper scoffed. Despite having expressed her love for Rickard countless times, he still seemed concerned about losing her. She could not tell if it was just Rickard's nature or if she had not made him feel her certainty and loyalty.Thinking of this, Hesper felt a little frustrated."I believe you, but I don't trust him," Rickard said as if he knew what Hesper was thinking and continued with a slight f

"You imbeciles! Why didn't anyone notice Liam coming to the black market?"The man was astounded momentarily, seemingly not having considered this outcome. Their men had been spread all over the black market, but none spotted Liam.He knew deep down that Liam was like a cornerstone that could keep Christopher in check. All the precautions he had taken in the past few days had been to prevent any information from reaching Liam's ears. Therefore, they had not expected the two brothers to bump into each other today.Their spies were everywhere in this black market, so even if Christopher did not leave this room, he could still accomplish a lot.This had been the man's usual practice to prevent anyone who might know Christopher from recognizing him, as he knew when the news reached Liam, it would be extremely difficult for Christopher to explain his whereabouts to Liam.Unexpectedly, not only did Liam know about Christopher's whereabouts, but he had also met him. If Christopher were n

After opening the door, she realized that the person outside had changed from just Earl to Earl and Xyla. Xyla's eyes were teary as if she had been let down for quite some time, and when the door of the room next to her opened, her eyes were still slightly bloodshot.Earl did not expect Hesper to come out at this time. A hint of impatience flashed across his eyes, but he said in a kind tone, "Xyla, let's discuss our matters after I get back, okay?"Xyla took a deep breath, knowing that Earl was only doing so because he wanted her to leave immediately. However, the person standing next to her was Hestia, and the incident from yesterday had made her realize that Hestia was certainly not someone to be trifled with.'If she were to catch on to any of my weaknesses, the cynical comments that I'll...'"In that case… I’ll leave——"Before Xyla could finish her sentence, Hesper had blocked her path and said, "Don't leave in such a hurry. Weren't you two having a great time chatting in fron

While Xyla might not have been a member of the Forgertys before, she had been pampered by her mother to no end since she was a kid, which made her accustomed to getting her way all the time. In the past, a hint of coyness and a few tears would usually get her out of all sorts of situations. However, things had been proving much more challenging regarding Hesper.Thinking of that, Xyla could not help but feel a little overwhelmed."Do you want to know how you can make amends with me?" Hesper pondered for a moment and then seemed to have come up with a great idea. "Why don't you two go and get all the elders in your families to come? You can then apologize to me in front of them and promise that you'll never do it again.""Hestia Deschamps, don't push your luck!" Xyla could not help but speak up. "Both of us acknowledge our mistake, so what else do you want from us? I can try to satisfy your demands if you want money or something extortionate. Why must you get others involved in this

It was a pity that time could not be rewound.Looking at the fact that Hesper was standing right in front of him at this moment, Earl took a deep breath to muster the courage to face Hesper, then spoke in a flattering manner, "Ms. Deschamps, even though you just caught the both of us red-handed, I didn't say anything that disrespects you just now, did I? Xyla was the one who badmouthed you just now."As for me, I came here today only because I want to apologize to you. I didn't know who you were yesterday, so I was a little impolite while speaking to you. There's a saying in the Halwanese language that goes like this..."Earl paused for a moment before finally remembering. "I'm here to extend an olive branch, that's it. I'm here to extend an olive branch."His mind seemed to work quickly, and Hesper smiled and said, "Well, I'm not such an unforgiving person. It was a minor misunderstanding, and the person you should apologize to isn't me but Joanna."After going back and conductin

'If this is just a casual inquiry, why is there such a strong directionality?'Earl may have lost himself to lust, but he had not lost his rationality or intelligence. However, Hesper's gaze carried an intense sense of oppression, making it impossible for him to evade.'It's either I get captured by the Fogertys and find myself in Briar's mercy because of the previous incident, or I reveal what we're doing here at the black market, and fingers crossed that Hestia won't betray me, so I can stay safe here, at least temporarily.'In any case, Hestia already knows about the medicine we want to buy. It's only a matter of time before she finds out about the rest of the plan. She'll still get her head around it, even if I don't say anything here. But if I were to tell her about it now, I'd temporarily save my own *ss.'Earl did not care much about the family's honor, so after a moment of thought, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll tell you what I know. We came here looking for two people:

Even when it came to Rickard, he had only gotten two tickets for himself. And although invitations that had been issued in the past could be reused in the future, accumulating twenty of them would still take a long time. Moreover, it was very unlikely for the Andersons to have never been to the black market before, right?But that turned into Hesper’s third question. "Where did you get the invitations to the black market?"The answer to this question was very important. The only person Hesper could think of who would have such privileges was the owner of the black market, and if that were indeed the case, then everything that Lucian had said before this was a lie, and Hesper would certainly not work with him any further."Well, about that..."‘The previous questions have been rather straightforward, and this one seems the simplest, but why is it leaving Earl in a predicament?‘Could it be the owner of the black market?’Hesper was anticipating the answer, but Earl remained silent
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1481
Hesper was taken aback. "Of course. What else could I be doing?" Hesper sighed helplessly and quickly steered the conversation back, "We've already guessed the first two before the Andersons, but that man is someone we've never heard of before, so he must be an important lead. We need to find a way to locate him.""But we still lack a lot of key information," Kenji frowned, "There are plenty of older men on this ship. Besides, how old is 'older' exactly?"Kenji was right. They still lacked key information."You're right," Hesper said. She knew that finding this man would be an arduous task, but it was crucial.Rickard, however, was more focused on another point. "Where did Christopher get twenty entrance tickets?"In fact, Hesper was also curious about this. However, Earl had mentioned that this information was not originally disclosed to them. He only learned about the source of this ticket when he stumbled upon the process when Christopher gave the entrance tickets to them. Th

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
