"I understand now. She's just a mad dog!"The parents grew even angrier. They moved past Kyla and stood in front of Hesper. Ron's mother attempted to slap Hesper, yet Hesper stopped her again.If Lily came here alone, she might have had to swallow the injustice. However, Hesper was not one to accept such unfair treatment, especially considering Kyla's malicious framing."Stop playing the victim. Aren't you the one who caused all this?" Hesper asked as she looked at Kyla."Ms. Rivera, placing autistic patients in your care was indeed an oversight on my part," Kyla said, sounding somewhat aggrieved. "But I never expected you would make Ron cry in such a short time.""Really? Just in this short period?" Hesper asked as she raised an eyebrow. A hint of panic flashed in Kyla's eyes. Hesper's words implied that she knew something. However, Kyla had timed everything well to avoid suspicion. How could Hesper possibly know what she did?"What do you mean?" Other parents were also perplexe

So the mom didn't yell at Hesper but just watched. "After we came in, someone outside locked us in. When we turned around again, the little patients at the back were staring at us."Hearing that, the other patients looked over, and everyone took a sharp breath; of course, that was why they sent their children there. Their children never reacted to anything else and would only sometimes respond to what they said. However, they would listen to Kyla's instructions ever since they came to the welfare home. Although their eyes looked empty and emotionless, the parents thought it would be great, even if there was a little reaction. Now, they were reacting to instructions. They might react to other things in the future!"Why would people with autism react like that? I thought something was wrong and noticed Ron's fear, so I walked over and checked his arm to see what was happening. I pressed on his wound, which caused him to cry in pain."Seeing the needle marks on the child's arm,

Kyla seemed to finally understand the gravity of the situation and looked angry. Hesper managed to open her eyes and became sure someone instructed Kyla."Who is it?" Kyla knew there was no way she could get out of this, but she didn't want to make it easy for everyone else, either! She looked toward Hesper and said, "It's Xyla. You know her, right? She asked me to target Lily, but you just happened to be here. I don't know you, but I still had to follow through with the original plan since you came together."Xyla Fogerty. It made sense for her to give instructions as dumb as that. Hesper smiled because when she first heard Kyla's name, she already had an idea, but why would Xyla instruct someone to frame Lily?She didn't understand it, but Hesper kept that in mind. All the parents started pressuring Kyla, so Hesper let her go and watched as people dragged her away. Even if they weren't trying to frame her, what Kyla did was for her own selfish gains and nothing else. S

Hesper walked over to him and thought the young man would stay unresponsive, but he looked up and into her eyes. Hesper felt a sense of familiarity because she had an encounter with an autistic person previously. Although that person didn't have a lot of emotions in his eyes, Hesper could tell he was looking at her, not zoning out. "Are you looking at me?"Slowly but surely, the young man nodded. Hesper was surprised. She pulled a chair and sat across from him. "Do you want to speak to me? Do you like me?""Yes," the young man said. Hesper was surprised, but she smiled. "Thank you. Your parents aren't here, but I'm sure you were hurt too. Do you want me to go to the hospital with you?"Lily nodded, and the man didn't reject her proposal, so Hesper led them both out. The welfare home was busy trying to settle Kyla's issue. They would be busy after such a huge negligence had been exposed. All the children's parents came to get them except the young man's. Hesper wasn't being

The young man's name showed he was a Halwanese, so when Hesper heard it, she was excited. Montequinto was full of Halwanese. However, Sullivan's identity wasn't very important. Hesper wasn't helping him because he was special, but that she connected with him. She had never heard the name Sullivan Simmon before, anyway. Hesper couldn't help but feel protective toward the young man with autism whose family abandoned him. Maybe because she was treated that way and understood how he felt. Benji thought the name rang a bell, but he couldn't say from where, so he just kept quiet for now. He would ask Rickard when he was back. Hesper waited until evening came, and no one showed up, just like he said. No one would come. Seeing how sure he was, he seemed to be used to living this way, so Hesper decided to bring him home and take care of him. Benji had a feeling something was off. Even though the young man wasn't an adult, he was still a man. However, Hesper seemed to treat him lik

Although Sullivan didn't look old, Hesper was probably less than ten years older than him, so she wasn't that much of a senior to him. After helping Sullivan settle in, Hesper left the room. Although Sullivan didn't speak and didn't cause any issues, Hesper still felt it wasn't easy to take care of patients. Some things were very easy, but she had to double-check if Sullivan understood what she said. Benji waited at the room door. Although this was the safest place in Montequinto, Sullivan was 'safe,' so there was no reason to be on high alert. However, Benji remembered his orders to protect Hesper. He would fall apart if something happened to her while Rickard wasn't around. Fortunately, Hesper knew if anything happened to her, Rickard would be frantic. Rickard promised to tell Hesper everything before doing something so she wouldn't worry. Since he managed to do it, Hesper should too. She considered the value of everything before taking action. The night passed. No on

Everyone knew how much Liam doted on Lily. The household often would respect the 'badge' more than who was holding it. With Lily's badge, Hesper could do a lot more than just going to meet Xyla. Hesper felt heaviness in her heart because she didn't expect Lily to trust her so much. "Aren't you worried that I might be one of those people who approached you to get your badge and do bad things in your name?"Lily shook her head and signed something Hesper didn't understand, so she typed instead.Lily: [If not for you, would I be here? I didn't choose to trust you. I can only trust you.]Lily: [I'm sure you're a good person, so even if I'm wrong about this, so be it.]Although Lily had a kind heart, she wasn't blind. She understood the responsibility she had to carry after witnessing evil and the schemes of others. However, she still chose to trust Hesper.Hesper knew how much she trusted her, so she nodded. "I won't let you down. I said I will see Xyla, so that's all I will do."

Xyla turned pale hearing what Hesper said. Everyone who left the black market ship had a common understanding. No one messes with Hesper Rivera. She was someone who managed to trick the Anderson brothers, not to mention her strong backing—Rickard. She wasn't someone anyone should mess with. Xyla didn't know that, but after discovering who she was, she knew she had been so stupid. "You said you did all that because you were blinded." Hesper's eyes were piercing. "You don't have a grudge against Lily, so logically, you wouldn't hurt Lily. Who was the person instructing you then?"Xyla looked pale as her eyes darted around. Hesper could see Xyla hesitating, so she pushed her more. "You're locked up here. Would that person be able to break you out? Why are you insisting on keeping their identity a secret?" Hesper clicked her tongue. "Xyla, I don't know if you're naive."Xyla knew she was right. She hoped the person would rescue her since she was locked up, but was that realis

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
