'Briar probably harbors intense enmity toward me now, doesn't he?'Hesper wasn't entirely sure, but she and Briar were always supposed to be enemies. Moreover, Briar had treated her as a pawn in his chess game without hesitation, so he must have been prepared for resistance.Hesper didn't care about what these people thought of her. After all, there were already plenty of people in the world who either hated her for personal reasons or because of their differing backgrounds, forcing them onto opposing sides of things.In short, love and hatred were meaningless to Hesper, unless they came from someone close to her. It was just a matter of finding herself another enemy or another potential partner.With these thoughts in mind, Hesper didn't show much of a reaction through her expression. After a moment, she said, "I'm leaving for now. If there are any updates, please let me know."Having said that, Hesper left her contact information with Earl, turned around, and left the undergroun

Frankie found himself somewhat astonished by Hesper's response. He hadn't anticipated her displaying such a cold-blooded side.'But Ma'am has always cared a lot about Ms. Duval, hasn't she? Is it because Ms. Duval has gone too far this time that Ma'am is exasperated?'As they made their way back to the car, Rickard couldn't help but notice the absence of any familiar faces nearby. Instantly, he began to suspect that something unexpected had occurred, and it seemed highly likely that Sherese had already departed."Has she gone?" Rickard inquired as Hesper got into the car.Hesper nodded solemnly. "She left a while ago, probably anticipating our arrival. Otherwise, she could've been more meticulous in removing any remaining evidence."Upon hearing Hesper's explanation, Rickard quickly connected the dots. The irregularities at the underground boxing arena were likely linked to Sherese, prompting her escape.Given their growing familiarity, the two of them didn't need many words to c

Hesper let out a sigh, understanding that Rickard's current emotions were undoubtedly complex. After all, Frankie, being the youngest, must have been by Rickard's side since childhood. The betrayal from someone close was a feeling Hesper knew all too well, but Rickard seemed even more silent and composed about it than she had been when she faced betrayal, making it difficult for Hesper to sense his inner turmoil.Nevertheless, Hesper reached out and embraced Rickard. She knew that Frankie's betrayal had shaken Rickard deeply. During this period, Rickard had discreetly excluded Frankie from involvement in important matters and kept him away from Hesper. It all made sense now.Hesper didn't say much and simply held Rickard for a while. Her expression gradually returned to its usual demeanor. After all, Frankie was just a mole, and now that he had been exposed, he was no longer a threat to them.Throughout this time, Rickard hadn't openly exposed Frankie, indicating that he likely inte

"The results are in already?" A hint of surprise and excitement shimmered in the depths of Hesper's eyes, although it was entirely reasonable given the time that had passed.Rickard's expression seemed to confirm that the results had indeed verified Luna's biological relationship with Pierette. Nevertheless, Hesper retrieved the report and examined it for herself.The document confirmed Luna and Pierette were indeed biological mother and daughter.While Hesper had suspected this connection before, actually seeing the results raised her eyebrows. Who would have imagined that Pierette had given birth to a child, and that child had been raised so well within the Turners, almost as if she were a precious family heirloom?In the end, even though Luna had known her true lineage, she still yearned for something that didn't rightfully belong to her. In a way, she was just like her mother.Reflecting on this, Hesper placed the results back into the brown paper bag without further comment.
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1626
Although it didn't seem like Pierette was emotionally inclined in that direction, the evidence they had gathered was still reasonably solid, considering Pierette had multiple choices available to her at the time. However, when it came to Luna, she had indeed made several decisions that were not particularly advantageous for herself."Regardless, let's give it a try," Hesper asserted with determination. "If it succeeds, we may also learn about Sherese's situation earlier. And even if it doesn't work out, we won't lose anything."Exposing Luna's identity would be nothing but a burden for Pierette, with no benefits whatsoever."Pausing for a moment, Hesper added with a hint of regret, "As a fellow mother, if it weren't for Pierette's many wrongdoings and her current secret, I wouldn't want to use her own daughter as leverage."But it appeared to be their sole option at this juncture.If she didn't take a firm stance with Pierette, Pierette would undoubtedly turn the threat towards Re

Hesper rubbed her nose and then spoke, "Master, don't blame him. You know how stubborn I can be. There's no way he could have stopped me. I took the pills to restore my memory on my own; he had no part in it."Professor Miles regarded the couple and eventually sighed.'Should I really disown this apprentice of mine over something so trivial?'"I don't have a perfect solution, but you can try distracting yourself. It might help improve your condition," Professor Miles suggested as he stood up. "I'll check to see if there's any relevant information on this matter. You truly are one of a kind, getting a disease that even I have no idea how to treat."After saying this, he hung up the phone. Hesper and Rickard exchanged glances, feeling like they were back in school and had been caught by the teacher doing something wrong.In her younger days, Hesper had always been cautious while living under someone else's roof. She had worked hard and been more obedient than the other kids, so she

Hesper's gaze sparkled in the dark night, carrying an indescribable sternness and coldness. "How can I not stop you? Do you even know what you're doing? It was the underground boxing ring first. What's next?"Sherese clenched her fists, her nervousness and tension palpable to Hesper, but her voice regained some composure, with a hint of reassurance."Sherese, it's not too late to turn back now."Sherese stood her ground without uttering a word, but there was a trace of determination shining in her eyes. "There's no turning back now, and I don't want to turn back either."Hesper took a few steps forward, causing Sherese to take half a step back. There was no room left to retreat, yet she still stared at Hesper with stubborn resolve. "I must go on this path. I only came back to see you guys I never thought I'd get caught by you."Hesper, sometimes I too wish to let go of my hatred, but each of us has our own path to follow. I also know that what I'm doing right now is extremely dang

Upon hearing Rickard's words, Hesper was momentarily surprised but soon sighed helplessly. "I thought I had missed some crucial information, but it's just this.""This is crucial," Rickard emphasized.Hesper nodded in response to Rickard's words, and a playful glint appeared in her eyes as she teased him. "I see now, Mr. Duval. How did I not notice that you could be so talkative?"While it was Hesper's own health they were discussing, she hadn't intentionally neglected the need for rest. Rickard didn't say much, knowing that he would be the first to take Hesper to Professor Miles as soon as the renowned doctor came up with a treatment plan. But until then, she needed to take better care of herself."I'm going to find Earl," Hesper declared as she stood up, determined to address her concerns immediately. "And I'm leaving right now."As Hesper left the villa and disappeared from Rickard's view, Frankie came down from upstairs, looking somewhat puzzled about her abrupt departure. "Wh

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
