Sullivan had never reacted much to anyone approaching him, so it was unsurprising that Frankie was completely ignored when he got closer to Sullivan.After observing for a while and asking Sullivan a few more questions, Frankie did not see any form of response at all. After pondering for a moment, he returned to Hesper's side, nodded, and reported, "It seems true. He does have autism, and he hasn't been lying."It was indeed surprising that the current head of the Simmons, the patriarch, was autistic, and it was even more shocking that he had allowed himself to be mistreated by the staff at the welfare home.Upon closer reflection, it did seem that way.'When we were assaulted by the Simmons a few days ago, the other party's attitude was very vague. It was unclear what they planned to do to Roy, and I didn't hear any specific instructions. Perhaps it was because their patriarch hadn't issued any orders, and it did look like there might have been internal strife.'When Frankie thou

"Actually, he hasn't done anything bad," Frankie murmured.Hesper had been treating Sullivan as if he were a child, so her mood was a little downcast—— If the situation was similar to her speculation, then when Sullivan got back to the Simmons, he would undoubtedly have to face a power struggle within the family.However, this was a family matter of the Simmons, and the reason why Hesper had come to Montequinto was not about getting involved with such power struggles. She only wanted to keep the people around her safe, and Sullivan was just a passerby.'I only hope that we won't cross paths again in the future.'...Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Lily's health had finally recovered completely. When Hesper was examining her pulse, Lily and Liam were staring at Hesper's face nervously, fearing that the results would not be what they had hoped for.Hesper sensed the tension, but she smiled, raised her head, and glanced at the father and daughter before her. "Don't w

Liam never suspected Jen of any wrongdoings, but he still had his men investigate Jen a long time ago. After digging, they found out she had a clean background, with only a sick mother at home.But now that Hesper had voiced out, it was clear that something was wrong with this person."When Lily and I were at the welfare home and plotted against, I starting to sense that something was wrong." Hesper explained, "According to Lily, their encounter with the welfare home was purely coincidental, but it has been proven otherwise."That person was waiting for her window to approach Lily. So, that was not an accidental outcome."Liam frowned. At that time, the only person who had been following Lily around was Jen, and she was indeed the person who directed the two of them to travel to wherever they had gone during that period. Things would click in place if Jen had intentionally brought Lily to the welfare home.Thinking of this, Liam's expression turned a little grim."I had been thin

No matter how capable Rickard and Hesper were, they could not protect everyone else on that list, and since Cheney had not taken action against those people for some reason, it was clear that there were still concerns on her side. This also meant that at least many of them were currently safe.Hesper was not a philanthropist, no matter how overboard and crazy Cheney became to get back at those people. All of them should have had some sort of connection to Asher back then. And while Cheney's revenge might be a bit excessive and harsh, they deserved it.This was also why Hesper had not alerted those people despite having gotten her hands on the list.From a certain point of view, even though Hesper did not remember it now, Asher had indeed died trying to save her, and she had never doubted this.Therefore, to claim that she did not hold any grudge or resentment toward those people was impossible."Tomorrow… Will you come?" Duncan asked, gazing at Hesper.Hesper hesitated for a mome

Upon hearing that it was related to a serious business, Hesper finally understood Pennleigh's reason to be here.'But Yale...? What happened to him?'During this time, Hesper had no time to manage any affairs concerning the fashion industry, so she had not been in contact with Yale. She only vaguely knew that he had been handling things well. With the support of Mr. Chronos and Hesper's names, he had been making smooth progress."Yale's situation is rather complicated, and I'm afraid you're the only one who can persuade him now."Hesper's frown intensified when she heard this.'Did Yale misuse the authority we gave him to do something bad? But it has only been a few days since we last met.'Hesper could not help but question her judgment in people. However, she soon saw Pennleigh's somewhat helpless expression."I think you're being a little paranoid. Because of what happened with Celine, you can no longer trust the people around you."Hearing this from Pennleigh, Hesper knew t

When she walked into the room, Hesper realized that Rickard was standing by the window as if he knew that she would follow him up to the room. She could not help but feel slightly helpless and walked up to Rickard's side, and that was when he grabbed her, taking her into his arms.Hesper was astonished for a split second, and Rickard's breathing was extremely close to her.Hesper sighed. "Why are you upset?"Rickard did not speak for a moment but then explained after a very short pause, "He once pretended to be your boyfriend. The time when you were away from me, you spent most of it with him."Most of those people from Hesper's past were just passing acquaintances she had met by chance; they never left a lasting impression on her life. But Pennleigh would always be different in some ways.Hesper was a little helpless and responded, "I only did so to avoid Matthew then, didn't I? Besides, you just said it yourself. It was all fake."In fact, after going through multiple occasions

They still had to tell Lily the truth—that everything Jen had said to her was a lie and Jen was a time bomb—but all this would be incredibly cruel to Lily.It might be better to wait until Jen had been dealt with before coming up with something to explain the situation to Lily, such as Jen was leaving the Turners for personal reasons.Hesper and Liam were in complete sync with this decision and chose not to immediately inform Lily about this turn of events.Jen and Xyla were held in the same facility, albeit in separate rooms. There was no way for them to sense each other's presence.When Hesper walked into the facility, she instantly thought back to her last visit here, which was done privately.But Liam had known about this long ago."There's no need for you to explain yourself. Lily's willingness to entrust you with her badge shows how much she trusts you. That's why I haven't asked you any further questions. It's because I trust you, too." Liam continued. "If you turn out to

Upon hearing Jen's words, Hesper's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Jen's calm expression and suspected she was telling the truth. They, indeed, had not been very cautious back then..."Don't worry, I haven't told anyone," Jen reassured her.Liam was also taken aback, not expecting Jen to hold such a crucial secret. Mr. Chronos' identity was indeed an enigma known to extremely few, and if it were to be made public, it would significantly impact the person behind the mask.In a way, Jen's knowledge of this secret proved that she had been acting under duress."Master Turner, can you step outside for a moment? I wish to verify whether what Jen just said is true." Hesper turned to look at Liam.Liam nodded, knowing that this matter was important for both Hesper and Mr. Chronos, and now that they were partners, he would surely provide them with the space and opportunity they needed.Once Liam had left, Jen wasted no time. She approached Hesper, grabbed her hand, and wrote Rickard's

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
