Sullivan immediately continued, "When I thought about this, I felt that asking them for an exchange was too crude. So, I came up with another method. I first informed the Lanes that you had gone missing."Hesper's face sank.Her grandfather's health had not been good, and there was nothing the Lanes could do but feel anxious. She was certain that Rickard had not told them about the problem she encountered here, yet Sullivan had told them directly."Ms. Rivera, don't you think you're a bit too selfless?" Sullivan said. "The Lanes don't care about you at all. Why do you still have to worry about them?""Have you never been loved by someone before?" Hesper asked.Seeing a fleeting emotion in Sullivan's eyes, Hesper sneered. "It seems like that's the case. Veronica isn't your mother. You just borrowed her from someone else so that you can feel loved. How pathetic."Sullivan looked at Hesper and said coldly, "Provoking me won't do you any good, Ms. Rivera. You should understand that I

Even if Elise and Benjamin were worried about her, they would consider the overall situation and not surrender it to him. Did this not make what Sullivan was doing in vain?Hesper frowned as she contemplated. When she began to feel a headache, she stopped thinking and closed her eyes. Since she could not figure anything out, she decided not to overly exert her brain. After all, she should conserve her energy and stay calm right now. *Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Lanes' residence was tense. They were unaware about Hesper's current situation, so they did not know what to do. They could not inform Rickard, so they had to handle the rest themselves.Benjamin said that the thing they needed was with Hesper. Apart from that, he refused to say anything."Are you still unwilling to say?" Matthew asked, disappointment evident on his face. However, this was not the first time he had questioned Benjamin in the past few days. Regardless, Benjamin remained firm in not revealing what he

Remembering a password was something most people found almost impossible, but Hesper was different. No matter how long or unrelated, she could accurately recall every password. With this thought in mind, both Matthew and Elise fell silent.Originally, Hesper did not know these things, let alone have her memories. In theory, if Hesper had not recovered her memories or experienced hyperthymesia, none of these events would be happening now.Now that they thought about it carefully, it seemed like everything had become clear. Since Hesper's desire to recover her memories, it was all part of a huge deception. They were all deceived from the beginning, including Hesper. She was dragged into Asher's affairs and had no other choice but to recover her memories, including the password. Elise's face sank. She and Hesper contacted each other occasionally, so she knew what had transpired before. She understood Hesper's struggles and the hardships of recovering memories. However, all of it now s

It was only now that Hesper knew Murray was telling the truth. They were genuinely putting a lot of effort into deceiving her. However, if it was only Charles, it should not have prompted Murray to say those words that day. In other words, someone closer to her had also betrayed her. But who could it be? Hesper did not know.Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Even though the soundproofing in her room was good, she still heard the noises from outside. It sounded like gunshots, and it seemed to her that someone was coming. Hesper stood up, and after a while, the entire door was opened. In the midst of the light, she saw the person in front of her."Ms. Rivera, are you okay?"Since she had spent a long time in darkness and could not go to sleep, Hesper's condition was quite bad. Hesper looked at Murray, and he pulled her up without saying anything."We haven't had the chance to get you out before, but now we finally can."There were a few more people around them other than Mu

Hesper did not know why he was laughing, but she had a gut feeling that it was not a good sign. However, she needed that car now. She did not know her exact location, but having a car was crucial for her escape, so she had to get her hands on that vehicle."Go ahead. Tell the person inside to come out and give the car to Ms. Rivera."Murray's man nodded and walked towards the car. When Hesper lifted her head, she was stunned.The person who stepped out of the car was dressed in a sharp black suit. Despite the distance, she noticed the cufflinks on the person's sleeves due to her good eyesight. It was something she had bought during a shopping spree."I'm sorry for the trouble, Mr. Duval," Murray said, bringing Hesper back to her senses. She withdrew her gaze, clenched her teeth, and said, "Don't move. I'll take Murray and leave." Murray was surprised that Hesper was able to keep her composure. As they passed by Rickard, Hesper turned her head to glance at him.Most of the stuf

Hesper felt relieved the moment she saw Renee. It felt like she had returned to reality, finally coming back to familiar surroundings and encountering someone she trusted. Suddenly, she froze. In the next second, she closed the car window and pressed the gas pedal. 'Could it be Renee who betrayed me?' As soon as the thought surfaced, she found it absurd. 'Why would I doubt Renee?'Renee had been by her side when she was at her lowest, and they had gone through so much together. There was no way Renee would betray her. However, in this moment of hesitation, Hesper withdrew her hand and left Renee behind.Perhaps that was Sullivan's purpose—to make her question anyone she encountered.Hesper furrowed her brows. As she passed by, she noticed the surprise in Renee's eyes. She seemed confused about why Hesper suddenly closed the car window and left, especially when they had finally found her.However, Hesper did not stop. Her only thought now was to go home and see Rickard. Afte

In the next moment, Hesper found herself in a reassuring embrace as if she had returned to her mother's arms. Throughout her life, Hesper had never felt her mother's embrace like this, nor had she experienced being decisively chosen during her childhood.It was only at this moment, when she was in Rickard's arms that she suddenly felt like she could truly become someone's entire world."I thought I might never see you again."Rickard did not ask anything. Everything seemed less important than having Hesper in his arms. Benji, who was nearby, went in to find Riley.Upon seeing the situation, Riley furrowed his brows and signaled for Rickard to take Hesper inside. Hesper's current condition was not right. In the eight days of her disappearance, no one knew what had happened.Hearing this, Hesper grabbed Rickard's hand. Rickard seemed to sense the momentary change in Hesper's emotions and furrowed his brows.Seeing this, Riley said sternly, "Bring her in."Everyone could see that s

Hesper nodded. She had faced the same situation before, and she understood that Sullivan intended to make her despair by making the fake Rickard betray her. Under those circumstances, it was expected that she would collapse.However, they did not anticipate that Hesper could still execute an escape plan so meticulously after enduring eight days in such conditions. On the other hand, no matter how furious Sullivan might be, Hesper was now in a secure place, and he would not have another chance to capture her.While Hesper understood this logic, she could not help but be wary of everyone except Rickard. Until she identified the "traitor," she would likely remain cautious of the people around her."Who was the one who took you away?" Riley asked.Hesper thought for a while and said, "It was Sullivan."She recounted the events leading up to her escape, but she avoided certain details, including the password from her memory."That's the whole story. While he appeared to be helping you

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
