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

Hesper's question initially stunned Roshan, but her additional detail, "It probably happened more than a decade ago," seemed to jog his memory."Hmm..." Roshan began. "I wasn't old enough to know much about this place back then, but if you're referring to traveling medics who abruptly left many years ago, there is one I remember quite well."Hesper's eyes lit up upon hearing this revelation. If someone like Brigette had worked in the arena, she would have undoubtedly left a lasting impression. After all, she came from a noble family and held a significant position within it. Thus, if Roshan recalled a traveling medic who had worked there, it was likely Brigette.Roshan continued with his recollection, "I had only joined this arena during those years. I started here as a kid, mostly because my family faced financial difficulties and couldn't support everyone."His expression became complex as he recalled the past, but he didn't dwell on it for long. "The traveling medic was memorabl

"It's important for me."Earl nodded."Alright, I'll go find the information now and make a copy for you later." Earl knew that Hesper must have wanted him to investigate something significant. Otherwise, she would not have specifically asked him to come over. He did not delegate the task to his subordinates but took it himself.Initially, Hesper only wanted to threaten Earl, turning him into an intelligence-providing machine, as Earl had suggested initially. However, she realized Earl was not a fool after a few confrontations. Playing dumb was not something she had done much before, but it seemed that Earl was pretty good at it. With that thought in mind, Hesper found that this partner was not bad. Therefore, she nodded in satisfaction. "If the Andersons fall, have you considered where you'd like to go?"Earl did not expect Hesper to suddenly ask him this question but answered in a serious tone, "Maybe I'll find a wealthy widow and become her husband."Hesper was stunned mome

With these thoughts in mind, Hesper sighed. She hoped that Professor Miles could find a way to cure her illness soon so she could return to normal. Then, Rickard would not always have to worry about her health.Another sleepless night passed, and Hesper realized that her hyperthymesia had its advantages. For instance, her memory had reached a terrifying level when processing information. She just needed a glance, and she could remember all the details. Even when new related information appeared, she could recall it without flipping through the pages. Hesper could not help rubbing her somewhat sore eyes in the early morning hours. Her remarkable processing speed allowed her to review everything much faster than an ordinary person, despite the abundance and complexity of the information.After about four hours, she had gone through all the documents. Based on the information, Hesper could confirm that the traveling physician mentioned by Roshan was indeed Brigette. Considering the ti

"I was worried you'd be upset," Hesper said as she looked at Rickard. "I've discovered that Brigette might have come to Montequinto to seek revenge. Considering the timing, it should be connected to your father's death ten years ago."Initially, she left Rickard because of what happened on Leafdelle Island. It was just that she also did not expect Rickard to lose his father during that time. Ten years ago, the incident at Leafdelle Island had somewhat settled due to Benjamin's involvement, allowing Brigette to return for revenge.Everything matched up.After voicing her thoughts, Hesper thought Rickard would need time to process. Still, he quickly responded, "What happened with the Summers back then was that they offended the original powers in this area and messed with someone else's territory. My father came over just to fulfill my grandfather's wish. Originally, he was ready to leave upon learning about their involvement in these gambling activities."Rickard remembered the me

Chelsea was in a better situation than Sophia. Karen had liked her since the beginning, and now that everyone in the Summers knew about her ability, they liked her even more. After all, the casino had been exposed, and they could only rely on Chelsea now.Originally, Jade favored sons over daughters, but his attitude toward Chelsea had changed completely. He followed Chelsea every day as if he had always adored her.However, Chelsea was no fool. If she had a naive personality, she might not have survived until today. She could not leave the Summers, so even if she was annoyed, she would stay here for a long time.Sophia was different. Although the Summers were treating her well now, she never considered staying. She knew that Fenix would despise her one day, and the outcome would not change even if Chelsea continued to help her.Therefore, she had to leave as soon as possible.There had been a lack of a suitable opportunity during this time, and Hesper had not actively reached out

Hesper looked at her and asked, "How did you know I wanted to ask you for information?""Well..." Chelsea sighed helplessly. She knew that Hesper would be particularly sensitive to such matters, so she laid out all her speculations. "Your recent movements aren't secret. After all, every move you make is being observed. But everyone is also speculating on what you're up to. You coming to me now is related to this. I've thought it over, and there's probably nothing you would want from the Summers except for the information in my hands."Chelsea's guess was close to the truth. Hesper paused momentarily, discerning the truth in Chelsea's words before proceeding. "Yes, I have some questions for you, but they're not questions to trouble you. Considering the time, you should be at the age where you understand things, so you should remember what happened back then."Although somewhat puzzled, Chelsea quickly nodded. "As long as I know it, I'll speak the truth. However, in return, you should

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
