'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

There was no point spreading the rumor. Since Briar was testing her, that meant he wasn't behind this. The most likely suspect was Dean, who she hadn't seen in a while. Did love turn into hate? Hesper raised her brow with a tiny bit of contempt. Whether or not it was Dean, the person's plans were foiled. She could change her identity with a snap of her fingers. Seeing her deep in thought, Briar didn't know what he managed to hint to Hesper, but he knew he achieved his goal, so he said, "Let's go to the restaurant. If you need any help, I can help you.""No, that's okay." Hesper was different from her usual weak and naive self as she turned and said, "I have something I need to attend to. Thanks for your reminder.""Reminder?" Briar had no idea what happened as he watched Hesper walk away with a confused look. He thought Hestia was different from how she usually was. ***"Oh, I see why the boss didn't rush to tell you." Benji thought it was something crazy, but they were j

Hesper frowned and didn't let the man go. Instead, she followed him and asked, "If I'm not the first one, who else called you Asher Scarlett before? Who are you, and why are you here?"The man frowned at all the questions, impatient. That expression was enough to detach her impression of Asher from this man. They may look similar, but this man was not Asher. She only had an impression of Asher from her dream, but she could easily distinguish these two people. "Why should I answer you? Ma'am, don't you think your behavior is a little rude?"Hesper knew that, and she rarely acted this way, but this man looked too much like Asher, who was an important clue. The man's presence was coincidental, so this must be linked to Asher. "I'll give you anything you want as long as you answer my questions truthfully." Hesper's eyes looked determined. "You can ask for anything in the world."Obviously, the man was shocked by what she said; he took half a step back and looked defensive. "You

Hesper nodded. "Let's talk in my room.""Ro… Room?" Benji suddenly whispered, "If the boss finds out you brought another man back to the room, he might feel jealous.""He'll have to deal with it." Hesper didn't hesitate and walked away with the man. The man was shocked at how brazen she was but followed along while Benji stood there, unsure what to do. Kenji needed to stay next time so he could leave with Rickard instead. The lady wasn't someone who could be controlled!Hesper and the man walked to her room. She closed the door and then directed the man to a seat. All the rooms were decorated the same way, so the man didn't feel too anxious. He let out a sigh after taking a seat. "What do you want to know?""Can you tell me who else before me called you Asher? Why are you here, anyway? And who are you?"Hesper repeated her questions, and after thinking about it, the man said, "The first person who called me by that name was the person who brought me to the ship. I don't know his

So, she had no idea who Roy was talking about. A woman who cried when she saw Asher Scarlett. Was it an old flame? But Hesper heard that even though Asher and his wife had a marriage of convenience, they had a loving relationship. Asher didn't seem to be the type who would flirt around after getting married, especially if that woman was around her age. He would be old enough to be her father. Did Asher have a relative she didn't know of?"What happened after that? Did the woman say or do anything?"Roy shook his head. "The woman quickly seemed to come to a realization. The man you call Asher… died a long time ago?""You're right." Hesper was suspicious, but she was still honest. "You look a lot like him, even on a closer look.""I see." Roy felt complicated; if he'd known that, he wouldn't have been so harsh toward the woman when she spoke to him. He had been alone on the ship and realized it was dangerous, so when a random woman came out and called him by a different name, h

When she did, Roy would be safe. "Do you mean it?"Hesper nodded and raised her brows a little. "It's only a matter of protecting someone. You might not know who I am, but not many people on this ship would dare cross me."Roy was amazed when he heard that. He had lived a very everyday life and put much effort into staying in Montequinto. He struggled and worked hard for a measly pay, barely surviving. He never imagined he would one day be dragged into such a foreign and scary world because of his face. Benji was apprehensive when Hesper decided to bring Roy back to the room, and now she wanted to keep him around. He walked between them to block them off. "If you're going to protect Mr. Chance, it's now our boss's problem. Don't worry, Mr. Chance, we'll protect you!"Hearing that, Hesper smiled while Roy looked at him a little confused, then he looked back at Hesper. "You're married?He didn't expect a woman like her to have a lover, but then, after thinking about it, why w

"I've spoken to Mr. Chance. He's in grave danger walking among these people, and we don't know why Christopher brought him onboard. We also have no idea who the woman he mentioned was."Hesper didn't hold back from saying all that just because Roy was there. Trust was a basic necessity for people to work together. Hesper wouldn't keep him in the dark, or others would have the chance to get between them. "Hmm." Rickard suddenly took out his phone, which puzzled Hesper. Rickard showed his phone to Roy."Was this the woman you were talking about?"It was Vivienne's photo. Hesper hesitated and thought it was unlikely, but Roy shook his head. "Nope." Hesper wasn't surprised. Vivienne was a little obnoxious; other than living with Matthew for some time, she had never experienced hardship. It wasn't possible that she managed to do very well in the black market. However, Rickard remained expressionless, as if he had only randomly found a photo to show Roy. He then swiped to the next

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
