Hesper went to the Turners' mansion to visit the brothers.Lily had been learning to speak. Although it was a bit challenging, it wasn't too difficult. Lily had grown up hearing various languages, so she was able to learn quickly.Lily was delighted to see Hesper and looked up at her. "You... are here!"Despite her struggles, Hesper could understand what Lily was saying, so she gently patted her head. "Very good!"Lily felt proud hearing the praise but then gazed at Hesper with curiosity. "Why... are you here?"So much had occurred recently, but no one had informed Lily about it. After a moment of hesitation, Hesper shook her head, choosing not to share the details. "Just something related to work. No need to worry."Lily understood, realizing that Liam was likely keeping her in the dark about certain matters to protect her. Nevertheless, she would assume responsibility for the family once she fully recovered and could function normally.Hesper looked at her, aware that she had

She was going to wait till she had more information. "Another question. Do you know where Pierette's child is?"Christopher didn't react this time except to say, "I know. Not only do I know, I personally arranged for a good place for her. I promised Pierette that, if I worked with her, I wouldn't tell anyone where the child is.""She's here then."Christopher looked at Hesper, not knowing how she came to this conclusion, but she was right. "I couldn't be sure at first, but there was a rumor that her child is with your family." Joy flashed across Hesper's eyes. Christopher ran his tongue across his teeth as Hesper smiled. "You were never afraid of playing dirty."Liam, who was right next to them, heard her and frowned. "Who are you talking about?"How could he not know if this person was in his household?Hesper looked over to him and said, "We need to ask Mr. Turner here. Pierette had a child with someone all those years ago, but she handed the child over to him right after

Hesper snapped out of her thoughts and realized that she had been too focused on 'underground fighting,' causing her to worry."So... Sherese wasn't involved in underground fighting?" she asked.Benji nodded and elaborated on what Rickard had tried to convey. "Ms. Duval was just a medic. She said that when the boss's mom was young, she worked as a medic, and Ms. Duval wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps from her youth."Sherese had been under the impression that Brigette was still alive. However, Hesper felt a twinge of guilt upon seeing Sherese's reaction. She knew that Sherese might need time to accept the truth.Even though Hesper hadn't spent much time with her own mother, she knew that if something happened to her, it would be devastating. Sherese, having spent many years with her mother, was undoubtedly feeling the loss more profoundly.Sherese had clung to the hope that Brigette was still alive, but now that hope had vanished. As a result, she broke down."I've sent

Rickard's unusual humility struck Hesper as out of character.Hesper struggled to keep her mind from dwelling on the past, but Christopher's detailed description made it difficult to avoid.She had hyperthymesia, so she wasn't as anxious about her memories as Rickard and Professor Miles. Her memories resurfaced naturally, even when she tried not to recall them. Her memories wouldn't overpower her, and she wasn't afraid of them."Rickard, I remembered something from the past," Hesper said suddenly, the bright sun overhead. Rickard paused and asked, "What are you trying to say?"She was hinting at the potential risks. With hyperthymesia, not only would good memories stay in her mind, but also the bad ones, including the details of Asher's murder. Christopher only thought about it occasionally, and it had already taken a toll on his mental health. So, what would happen if those memories kept replaying in her mind?"I know, but I don't want to get in anyone's way." Hesper had never

"What's wrong with Charles?"Charles and Rickard worked together against the Leafdelle people, so she thought he was reliable. Rickard was silent for some time, which confused Hesper more. She started speculating. "Did Charles ask for something in exchange for working with you?... Did he threaten you?"Rickard paused and said, "His late lover looked a lot like you. He agreed to cooperate because of you."Hesper knew that was why he let her mother go. She wanted to thank him for giving her the chance to reunite her family and unravel some of her mysteries. However, she didn't understand why she shouldn't meet the man. She thought about it and suddenly had a moment of clarity; she looked at Rickard. "He used to be my dad, and he still is." Hesper sighed and grabbed Rickard's hand. "Mr. Duval, you're being childish."When Rickard didn't say anthing, Hesper smiled. "I'll take your silence as agreement. I'm sure Charles will have the answers I'm looking for."Rickard was overthin

Hesper did not know whether Lily had always been this way and hid her true nature due to her illness, or whether she had truly matured overnight.All in all, this was a good thing."Hesper!" Lily's eyes lit up when she saw Hesper.Seeing this, Lily's language teacher stood aside and marveled at the change in her student upon seeing Hesper.She could not help but feel a strange tension every time she faced Lily. Although the young girl appeared extremely harmless, every time their eyes met, Lily would not fail to remind her with her gaze that the young girl standing before her was no ordinary teenager but the future matriarch of the Turners.However, when facing Hesper, she truly turned into a delicate girl of her age."We're done with today's lessons, so I'll take my leave," the teacher said, nodding toward Lily and Hesper.Hesper stepped aside and let the teacher out of the room. She stared at the smile on Lily's face and rejoiced. "Why are you suddenly so free today?"Hesper

With this in mind, Hesper did not feel too anxious. After all, she would surely be at the banquet tomorrow, and another incident couldn't happen to Lily like last time.'I will protect Lily. Now that she's recovered, this is the best opportunity for those people to carry out their scheme, eliminating her as soon as possible. Otherwise, they won't a place within the Turners anymore. So we have to be extremely cautious.'Hence, Rickard received a message from Hesper in the evening, saying that she would not be coming home for the next two days, so he would have to sleep alone.Seeing the message, Rickard was puzzled for a moment.The night passed smoothly without any incidents, and Liam felt relieved knowing that Hesper was protecting Lily. Not only was Hesper capable of handling herself in a fight, but she was also highly proficient in medicine, making her a formidable all-rounder when protecting someone.With her by Lily's side, nothing untoward would happen to Lily.Hesper had n

Lily was already aware of the Andersons' schemes, as Hesper was outspoken about it. Hesper was the most familiar with the thoughts of those who had plotted against Lily.Originally, Liam had already had some disagreements with the Andersons, and with their arrival today, another conflict was highly likely.Hesper and Lily exchanged glances. Just then, Briar walked toward them from a short distance away. Hesper raised an eyebrow, not expecting Briar to approach them voluntarily."Ms. Rivera, it's been a while."They had just seen each other not long ago when Hesper had visited the Andersons' residence to demand Chelsea's release. Hesper gave a wry smile as her eyes sparkled. "Mr. Anderson, if you claim it's been a while, I'll go along with it. But could it be that you've missed me so much that weeks feel like years to you?"Hesper had always been known for her unyielding attitude, and her response left Briar momentarily speechless. He smiled and turned his attention to Lily, who st

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
