"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

Hesper had been eager to recall her past recently, and in an environment like being on a ship, she felt it was very likely that she was getting closer to the conditions of that time. From this perspective, it seemed there was a possibility of recovering her memories.Hesper smiled. If she could remember some things from her past, it would have significant meaning for her. However, the key question was how she could recall those memories.Professor Miles: [I don't recommend actively recalling those memories.]Hesper was stunned for a moment, and then her phone rang. She had a hunch that Professor Miles was probably going to stop her. With some hesitation, she answered the call."I understand that you want to regain your memories, but my advice is not to try to recall your past memories actively," Professor Miles said.Hesper furrowed her brow, feeling puzzled. "Why not? It's just about recovering my own memories. It shouldn't be something extremely dangerous, right?"Professor Mil

"We're not talking about now. I mean, before you lost your memories."The voice of Professor Miles came from the other side, and Hesper understood what he meant. For people with hyperthymesia, regaining the ability to forget was the luckiest thing that could happen to them.If her memories recovered, it would mean her hyperthymesia would return. She would have to fight against that cursed ability constantly. Hesper never imagined her great memory would one day become a constraint or a weapon used against her. "My suspicion isn't baseless. I'm sure you know something." Professor Miles sighed. "If you insist on recovering, your memories will slowly recover even without external help. It's not a good thing."When Hesper woke up this morning, she thought it was advantageous that fate had given her a gift as a reward for her hard work, but… Noticing Hesper's despair, Professor Miles consoled her, although he knew what he said wouldn't make her feel that much better. Hesper needed t

Looking in the mirror, Hesper confirmed Rickard couldn't tell what happened to her and sighed in relief. Although that was resolved, she didn't believe Rickard was hiding anything for her, and her eyes flickered. She remembered Kenji. Kenji wasn't Rickard, and he always respected her. Sometimes, Rickard would tease her, but he wouldn't intentionally ask Kenji not to tell her.She wasn't that curious, but now that something happened, she didn't wish to find things out when it was too late. She didn't manage to find Kenji but bumped into Benji instead. Hesper hadn't seen him since she arrived at the black market and thought he wasn't there. Turns out she just didn't bump into him all these days. Although Benji looked dumber than Kenji, he was well-informed. Hesper didn't want to play tricks with him, so she went over and said, "Where's Kenji?""Kenji and the boss went out half an hour ago. I don't know where they're headed." Benji was a little confused. "They just told me to

'You knew you were putting me in a tough position!'Hesper said she wanted to go outside to look, but it wasn't just to find out what Rickard was hiding from her. She was curious about what was happening to the others. For example, Earl. Hesper was a little worried because she didn't use an 'appropriate' way to ask about his situation. He might have been tortured if he hadn't held it in and spilled the beans to her. If that were the situation, exposing her would be the better choice.However, people might not believe what he said. Even if they knew everything, what could they do about it?Hesper snickered when she thought of that and didn't want to bother speaking to Benji. Even if no one told her what happened, she had a clue. Something must have happened outside, so her identity might be less useful now, and Rickard was worried if she went out, some new chaos might erupt, so he didn't want her to leave her room. Benji wasn't a good liar, so he smiled sadly at Hesper. "Plea

When Hesper saw everyone's reaction, she knew something had happened, or they wouldn't look at her like that. She just didn't know what had happened yet. Briar's expression confirmed her speculation. "By the way you look at me, you must have heard something."It was an old trick; letting people think she knew what was happening to get more information. If Benji had no clue and other people couldn't tell her anything, she had to dig around herself. "Um… I guess you know, but I don't believe it one bit," Briar was still cordial. When he said that, he sounded biased.Hesper raised her brows. Briar was smarter and more cautious than she imagined. Though he looked like his guard was down, treating her so cordially, she knew he was alert, or he would have been straightforward, just like Earl. That made sense. He was the leader of the Anderson family for a reason. Hesper took her time because failing once didn't mean anything to her, so she said, "Everyone has been staring at me t

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
