Lucian did not find the answer surprising at all. After all, the person who initially instructed him to get closer to Hesper was none other than his elusive master."I understand. However, Hesper is quite cautious, and even though I've promised her many benefits, she still doesn't trust me," Lucian replied, "Have you placed your bet on her and Rickard? If that's the case, why did you allow the Andersons to board the ship?" The owner of the black master smirked and said, "You don't understand the psychology of gambling, my dear. It's about not knowing the outcome; winning the final round brings the greatest pleasure. Besides, I haven't placed all my bets on Hesper. If she wins, I'll firmly stand by her side. But if she loses, I'll just move on.""I see," Lucian replied obediently. Then, with a hint of nostalgia in his voice, he said, "You haven't come back for a long time. Do you really have to stay outside?"The owner of the black market fell silent for a moment, then gently strok

If the truth was as he suspected, it would be disastrous. Taking a deep breath and suppressing all these emotions within himself, Dean walked back to his room briskly without a glance at the discarded gift.Hesper was completely unaware that Dean had started to doubt her. She had already received reliable and effective information from Earl, and she believed that even if other ambitious members of the Andersons knew more, they would not tell her. From her prior experiences, she had learned that despite their internal conflicts, when it came to their affairs, these people could unite against outsiders.She had no intention of getting caught up in the power struggle between Dean and Briar. Furthermore, she knew that Rickard did not like it either. Although she knew Rickard would respect her decision, she had no intention of eroding his feelings.After all, mutual respect is key in a relationship.Kenji did not have to live with anxiety anymore. After learning of Hesper's thoughts,

She could not remember many details. Kenji also understood that Hesper probably had no recollection of it by now. Otherwise, she would not have described the information so vaguely. Initially, they had only needed to look for one person, but now, they had to look for two. Hesper found the situation somewhat absurd and did not hold much hope. Instead, she thought about having her elder brother call home and ask Theodore about what had happened back then. The present Hesper was no longer the sheltered young girl from those years. After experiencing so much, she was entitled to know everything that had transpired back then.It had been a long time since she last called home. Hesper first called Matthew to check on everyone's current situation. Since her mother had returned, Hesper had only occasionally inquired about her situation over the phone. She had initially thought that after her mother returned, they could reunite as a family, but she had not anticipated being held back by nume

"Alright." Shawn did not seem very surprised, and Hesper felt a bit embarrassed. However, now that she could contact him, she had only one thing on her mind."I want to know what happened to me before I was sent to the orphanage."Hesper already had some ideas when she came across Shawn's contact earlier. Theodore seemed very serious about it, and since the events from back then had been hidden from her, she was unsure if he would reveal anything if she asked. So, she decided to try with Shawn first.She was surprised by Shawn's willingness to help. It was as if he would answer anything she asked as long as he knew it. This feeling warmed her heart, and she remembered that some people had mentioned that she and Shawn had a good relationship when they were kids. Besides, he had taken care of her more than once in the past. "I was still a kid at that time, so I don't remember many details now," Shawn said, his voice carrying a hint of apology. "What I know may not be as detailed as

"A stranger's name?" Hesper furrowed her brow upon hearing this. "What name was it? Do you still remember?""Of course, I remember," Shawn replied calmly, "The person's name was Asher Scarlet. You kept mentioning it, and I was quite nervous then, so I asked who he was. You spelled the name for me, so I naturally remembered that name well.""Asher Scarlet…" Hesper fell silent before replying, "Thank you very much, Shawn. The information you've given me is crucial. Uncle Theodore refuses to tell me the truth to protect me. I was worried that even if I asked him now, he still wouldn't tell me.""Yeah, he might not tell you. After all, he never told me what happened back then either," Shawn said with some helplessness. "After that incident, we sent you to Genecity to find a suitable foster family. But when you woke up in the hospital due to a high fever, you had already lost your previous memories. You were very young then, and the doctors said it was fortunate that your brain hadn't be

"We don't seem to know much about Cheney's past, but Cheney is a bit older than Vivienne," Rickard explained."Indeed... the idea that Cheney owes a debt to Vivienne has always been a puzzle to everyone," Hesper pondered for a moment and said, "Are you suggesting that the person Cheney owes a debt to was Asher, not Vivienne?"As she considered it further, it did seem to better align with their situation. Hesper had previously contemplated this question, so she quickly accepted this hypothesis. However, she still struggled to see the direct connection to her."Cheney has guarded Vivienne for so many years. The favor from back then must have been significant," Rickard said calmly.Hesper's eyes lit up again, "Are you saying that Cheney may know a lot about Asher?"Earlier, Cheney had mentioned that she could contact her if there was anything she needed help with. This could be an opportunity."Yes," Rickard replied.Though they now had a new source of information, Hesper furrowed

Meanwhile, Dean had started to feel quite pleased with himself due to the evidence he had gathered. However, a wave of jealousy quickly crept into his heart.The investigation had revealed that "Mr. Chronos" frequently spent the night in Hestia's room and never left her side every night. Even if they were close siblings, it was impossible for them to spend every night together, right? Previously, all of Montequinto had praised Mr. Chronos and Hesper's unwavering love for each other, how he was by her side every day, protecting her safety. But in reality, he was cheating on her.This was simply a man's nature. What was laughable was that he himself had actually fallen for a woman like her and had nearly schemed to marry her.It was truly absurd.In reality, if Dean could calm down and think rationally, he would not entertain such ludicrous ideas. But at this point, he was completely blinded by jealousy and lacked the rationality to consider these matters."Keep an eye on Mr. Chro

With that thought in mind, Hesper slowly opened her eyes. What greeted her was Rickard's furrowed brow."Don't frown." Hesper reached out and smoothed the furrowed area of his brow with her fingertips, giving him a reassuring smile. "I'm fine, don't worry. I just took a brief nap."Although Rickard did not say anything, he could vaguely sense that it was not as simple as Hesper falling asleep briefly. She had some other reason for her actions.After all, when Hesper was anxious, she would stare straight into his eyes as if she were desperately trying to prove something.The more she did this, the more it appeared she was hiding something.Rickard felt somewhat helpless, but he knew she must have her reasons for not telling him. He chose not to press further.After sitting up, Hesper checked the time and realized she had slept for an extra hour compared to her usual routine. The dream—or rather, the nightmare—she had experienced could not be considered just a dream anymore. It fel

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
