"Benji," Rickard called out to Benji when he noticed he was anxious. Benji immediately walked over, his face showing a mix of guilt and unease. "Mrs. Duval has been gone for half an hour.""Explain in detail."Benji knew it was his fault. If something happened to Hesper, he would be unable to forgive himself. Without a foolproof plan, he had let Hesper go alone into danger.He told Rickard everything that had happened earlier. Rickard fell silent for a moment, then sent a message to his men, instructing them to search the entire black market for Hesper's whereabouts. They would find her at any cost, even if it meant exposing their identities."It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let Mrs. Duval go alone...""Regret won't help now. Let's go find her first." Rickard said, his voice remained as calm as ever. However, Benji could see the anxiety in his eyes.However, what Rickard said was not wrong. It would not be of any use if they stayed here panicking. It was better to search fo

"Yes," Rickard replied. He sent a message to Benji and told him he had found Hesper. Then, he reached out and ran his fingers over Hesper's hair. "Don't take risks alone."Hesper snorted and said seriously, "I thought you didn't know it's unsafe to take risks alone. I understand you're concerned about my safety, but I hope you'll think about me the next time you decide to do something. I've mentioned this to you many times, but you don't pay much attention. How about we make a promise?"Rickard lowered his head and asked, "What kind of promise?"Hesper looked into his eyes and said, "If something were to happen to you one day, if you leave this world, Rickard, I won't continue living alone."Rickard fell silent for a moment. "Don't say such foolish things.""I'm serious, Rickard, you should know that." During their time on Leafdelle Island, Hesper had made a resolute decision. If a day came when she had to, given all the challenges and trials they had encountered on their journe

"Yeah, I'm not sure what happened either," Briar replied composedly. However, it was evident he was also curious about the cause of the turbulence.Judging from his reaction, Hesper knew that the incident was likely unrelated to the Andersons. However, she still did not think it was a random occurrence. The black market had probably handled it and subdued the cause."Let's go inside," Hesper said, grabbing Rickard. Briar followed the two as they entered the hall. The temperature outside had dropped, and it was warmer inside.The stage was empty, but the people below had already formed small groups and engaged in conversations. Hesper noticed the microphone stand on the stage. It seemed like someone was going to give a speech later. However, she had not seen the microphone before, so it was likely placed there recently."What's wrong, Ms. Deschamps?" Briar asked as he noticed Hesper's gaze. She just smiled and shook her head. Then she asked, "Where's your brother? Has he gone back

Who was she to stand there so arrogantly?Dean's face contorted with rage, a grotesque sight no one had expected. It was an ugliness that Briar had never seen in Dean before. In Briar's impression, Dean had always been inscrutable and rarely displayed emotion.Throughout the years, Dean had been his formidable rival in the competition for the Andersons. Although Dean was of a different lineage, he had always been the most capable competitor. But right now, Dean had lost all semblance of self-control. Could it be that Dean genuinely liked Hestia, which was why he was so furious upon hearing this news?However, Briar's speculation did not mean anything. Moments later, Hesper and Rickard walked onto the stage hand in hand. Dean had never expected her to be so bold.Everyone knew that Mr. Chronos's wife was Hesper. Who was Hesper? Although she mostly stayed in Halwanest and seldom appeared in Montequinto, many in Montequinto had heard of her. She was known for her decisiveness. If

Seeing Hesper pour the makeup remover on her face, Briar seemed to have figured something out. While he had never witnessed the art of disguise, he knew it was not unheard of. It was a rare skill held by very few, and now it seemed to him that Hesper was one of those people.It turned out that Hestia was not who she appeared to be. Her real identity was Hesper, Rickard's wife. She had changed her identity long ago and had appeared before him in disguise.In other words, she probably already knew about the incident involving his younger brother. Hesper had likely guessed the truth back then and knew he was targeting her. For such a long time, she had managed to maintain an act, pretending to know nothing and acting alongside them in their little drama.What a terrifying woman. Briar's feelings for Hestia were gone, and now he was left with only caution and the excitement of encountering a formidable adversary.She truly deserved to be the woman Rickard adored. She was not just "Ri

However, Hesper knew they were just using each other for their gains. When she faced Briar, she smiled and pretended she did not care about what happened in the Turners' residence.In essence, they were both businesspeople. It was just that they had different sets of bargaining chips. Briar was a very strategic person, a quality that even Hesper had to acknowledge. However, he fell into her trap due to his lack of knowledge about disguise, and there was no easy way out. "Of course, I believe in you, Mr. Anderson," Hesper said with a smile, glancing at Rickard before continuing, "Rest assured, Mr. Anderson, my husband and I won't pursue the past issues."Hesper's words stunned Briar, and he nodded. "Thank you, Ms. Rivera." Although they had been two different faces just a few minutes ago, Dean found the current situation utterly absurd. He experienced a strong disconnection between Hestia and Hesper, as if they were completely different. Despite this feeling, the undeniable truth

Benji had told Rickard about this earlier, so he nodded. Hesper continued, "I can't say for sure who this person is, but he is indeed the one we've been looking for. I found many things in his possession.""For example?""Many formulae for drugs, although they are inaccurate hallucinogenic drug recipes. Nevertheless, this man understands pharmacology. If the Andersons get hold of Chelsea and this man, they'll undoubtedly be able to recreate hallucinogenic drugs."The Andersons' ambition was apparent, but hallucinogenic drugs were not trifling. A single mistake could lead to irreversible consequences. Moreover, it was not just a threat to the Andersons or Montequinto alone. If hallucinogenic drugs were to reappear, it would be a worldwide catastrophe.Hesper furrowed her brow, and Rickard also understood the potential magnitude of disaster if this were truly the Andersons' goal."That man knows I'm Hesper and also that we were the ones who dealt with the hallucinogenic drugs on Lea

Roy and the man were the most important targets for the black market this time, and they were considered lucky to have them in their hands. Roy had been transferred away, and regardless of whether the black market's people took action, they already had the upper hand.This trip to the black market had been disastrous for most of the others, but they had unknowingly accomplished what they wanted and did not want to do."Kenji is with Roy now, so he should be fine," Rickard reassured Hesper.Hesper nodded. They would be leaving the black market tomorrow, but they had not fulfilled their promise with Lucian. Hesper did not feel like fulfilling it. The owner of the black market was unlikely to be on their side, as he only watched from the sideline, and she did not want to work with someone like that.Just then, someone approached them. Hesper turned to look at Rickard with a hint of confusion, but he subtly shook his head to indicate that the person was not with them."If they're not

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
