As long as Sherese was not there, Hesper would have no other vulnerabilities. How she entered the password would then be unrelated to Sullivan. In any case, Hesper would not let him have the thing he wanted. They all knew that Rickard would make his move when he heard the alarm. Sullivan and Caesar exchanged a glance. Sullivan's face was dark. Hesper looked confidently at the two, knowing they had to leave empty-handed. After all, there was no way they could handle those people outside."The people outside will surely come quickly after hearing the alarm. We can't delay any longer," Caesar said as he grabbed Sullivan's hand. "We need to leave now."Although Sullivan felt reluctant, he knew Caesar was right. If something happened to them, their effort would be in vain. Since they could not obtain the drug anymore, leaving now was the best choice. "Let's go."Hesper watched calmly as Sullivan and Caesar left through the underground passage without hesitation. She smirked, turn

With her around, Hesper could not do anything. However, now that Sullivan had released her, Hesper could finally retaliate."You should go in immediately," Sherese said worriedly, fearing that Sullivan might act out of anger and harm Hesper.Rickard nodded, and everyone rushed inside. Very soon, they arrived in the final room, but the scene in front of them differed from what they expected.Hesper was lying on the ground, and surprisingly, the door behind her was wide open.The vault had been opened."The vault has been opened? Isn't the password wrong? Why is this happening?" Someone rushed forward, but there was nothing, just a small empty box left inside the vault.It was evident that it had once contained the coveted item.Rickard furrowed his brow, and people in the live chat found the reactions of these individuals absurd. They could not understand how people could become passionate about a single item.Hesper was still lying on the ground, and Rickard picked her up."He

After leaving, due to the situation in the live broadcast, both Montequinto and Halwanest were in turmoil. Originally, Montequinto thought everything had been solved since the crowd had scattered. It was just that they never expected that someone who had entered the facility was livestreaming in Halwanest. It was essentially airing the country's dirty laundry.To make matters worse, Montequinto could not blame anyone, as the events were undeniably real. Nonetheless, it tarnished their reputation. Therefore, they pressured Halwanest to reveal the broadcaster's identity, accusing them of subversive tendencies.However, people in Halwanest were not buying it. This was not just an internal matter for Montequinto anymore. It appeared that someone in Montequinto had kidnapped Hesper. After all, Hesper was unconscious in the video.Many people were demanding that Montequinto disclose Hesper's current situation. However, they had no idea where she was now. After the events there concluded

Nobody believed Sullivan. Those who might believe him were clueless about Hesper and Rickard's location. Besides, it was already a difficult time for most of the people. After Riley took Sherese away, Hesper and Rickard returned to the room. They had purchased a house by the seaside the last time they came. Nobody knew about it, so it was a good place for them to hide."Now that the item is in our hands, there shouldn't be any major issues." Hesper breathed a sigh of relief.She could have avoided this risky situation, but as long as this thing existed, more people would come after it. Even if Hesper was innocent on the surface and the vault was not opened, if not for Sullivan, other people would come after her and force her to open the vault. Therefore, an idea that would put Sullivan in a tight spot took shape in Hesper's mind as soon as Sullivan left. With that thought in mind, she decisively re-entered the password. Since she had just entered it once before, she was quicker t

Now, it seemed to him that Sullivan failed to get what he wanted and landed himself in a pile of lawsuits. Professor Miles was certain that he was furious, especially with Hesper mysteriously gone."We don't know the composition of the drug. The person who manufactured it is also in our hands, but the situation is complicated." Hesper sighed. "He is currently mentally incapacitated.""I'll come over and take a closer look. I'm pretty curious about it," Professor Miles said."Are you coming over now?" Hesper asked."Yeah, now," Professor Miles replied, and Hesper heaved a sigh of relief. After all, holding onto this thing for too long was troublesome. If Professor Miles could discover its composition and a solution quickly, they would be able to get rid of it. Unexpectedly, after a brief moment since the call ended, Professor Miles called again."I may not be able to come over," he said. Hesper was puzzled, and he explained, "Right now, my place is swarmed with people."Professo

Although he knew Hesper was capable, as her older brother, he could not let her face all the dangers alone. Therefore, Matthew had no interest in caring about others at the moment, let alone getting married.However, the Baylesses were not going to back down this time. They insisted Matthew marry Dianthe within the next half month, as Dianthe could not keep waiting for him endlessly. They even had everything prepared, and Matthew and Dianthe had to proceed with the ceremony.Just when Matthew was in a tight spot, Hesper told them she was returning to Halwanest. Everyone was stunned by the news. After all, Hesper was now under the spotlight of both countries, and her safety was a concern. Even though Rickard always allowed Hesper to make decisions within his acceptable range, he knew that she needed protection despite her brave facade, and he would not let her face difficulties alone. Therefore, they were surprised he would agree to let Hesper return to Halwanest. However, they di

This was the first time they had been in different countries since reconciling, but Hesper knew that this was a necessary step. Besides, she knew that they would be seeing each other very soon. Avoiding crowds, Hesper left Montequinto early the next morning on a private jet. Even if Montequinto discovered her whereabouts later, she would already be out of the country, and any attempt to reach her would only lead them to Rickard.When Hesper arrived in Halwanest, she was not picked up by the Lanes but by someone else. She frowned as the person in front showed their credentials. A fair number of people were around, and Hesper knew these individuals held special status. Most likely, they were similar to the team led by Benjamin. However, their current location was not a suitable place for conversation."Let's find a more private place to talk," Hesper suggested.Considering the significant events she stirred up in Montequinto, she was certain that the officials in Halwanest were awar

Hesper was well aware of the live broadcast; otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted much attention. She also understood that people couldn't help but suspect her since everything was broadcast live. To divert suspicion, she deliberately presented herself as vulnerable, hoping everyone would believe Sullivan had escaped with the item. If anyone took a moment to reflect, they would surely notice something amiss. After so many days and so many people involved, the existence of this special task force would become futile if they couldn't discern the truth.Hesper cast a cautious glance at Archie but refrained from admitting that she possessed the drugs. Despite their reliability, the nature of the drug made Hesper uneasy, and she wouldn't feel at ease unless it was in her possession. She said, "You wouldn't believe me if I claimed not to have it. You came here because you're convinced I possess it."Archie felt a bit embarrassed but nodded in agreement. "That's true. We believe you have

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
