Right or wrong did not matter."Thanks," Vivienne said. Hesper shook her head and replied, "I should be the one thanking you. Asher gave me a second chance in life, and you're his daughter. If you need help in the future, you can come to me."After that, Hesper exited the ward. Vivienne looked outside through the window and whispered, "What nice weather."It was perfect for starting new stories.*The answers soon came from the authorities, but Hesper did not understand the meaning."Mr. Chronos will cooperate with the authorities in some way? Since when did Rickard discuss this with the higher-ups? I had no idea about this matter at all," she said.When Rickard returned home, he saw Hesper looking at him suspiciously. He could not help but glance at her somewhat helplessly."Why are you looking at me like that?"Hesper remained silent and looked at Rickard grumpily. Though she did not say it out loud, Rickard quickly thought of the reason."Is it because the decision from

However, whether intentional or unintentional, it made no difference to Hesper. After all, a year later was just the right timing, and she left the arrangements to them.Although life at the moment was relatively peaceful, Hesper understood deep down that matters with the people from Montequinto had not been resolved. The news about the antidote had spread, and their years-long calculations and schemes had finally failed.Hesper was undoubtedly becoming a thorn in the eyes of those people. Meanwhile, she was also uncertain about Charles's attitude. After all, he had betrayed them again.Thinking about this, Hesper could not truly enjoy the current peace. She always felt it was calm before the storm. However, the officials in Halwanest were protecting Hesper and Rickard now. Even if these people harbored malicious intentions, they could not openly act against them in Halwanest.However, constantly having these people lurking in the shadows, watching them closely, made it impossibl

"I have to admit, you're smart, Ms. Rivera, but moving forward, I wonder if you'll still have such good luck," Enzo said as he focused his gaze on Hesper like a venomous snake eyeing a rabbit.Unfortunately, this rabbit, despite appearing soft and docile on the surface, could also bite."No need for your reminder." Hesper looked down at Enzo condescendingly. "There seems to be no one else currently in my hands. Now, you should worry about yourself before making threats."First, they were humiliated, then they lost the drug. Now, even he had fallen into Hesper's hands. It was impossible not to feel frustrated. However, after planning for so many years, Sullivan knew Hesper better than Hesper knew herself. They could not afford to lose like this."You're pregnant now, right?" Enzo asked as his malicious gaze fell on Hesper's abdomen. Hesper's gaze chilled at the mention of her unborn child, but then she suddenly smiled."If you touch my child, I will make you pay," Hesper said. She

Elise was the one among them who truly knew what kind of person Charles was and how ruthless he could be. If he could erase her memories and keep her by his side for so many years, he could do the same to Hesper. Furthermore, it appeared that Charles had some kind of collaboration with Sullivan. What if he decided to share the information with him?Elise sighed and expressed her concerns, saying, "Charles is incredibly dangerous. You gained no advantage when you confronted him, and now, I believe it's not wise to go to Fredonia."Elise's dissenting opinion stemmed from her unique perspective, as she was the one among them who understood Charles the best. In a certain sense, Charles and Elise could be considered a couple, having spent so many years together. Although Elise lacked the memories of their time together, she still remembered their shared history.Hesper lowered her head and replied, "I understand, but we're running out of options. Hiding within the country won't be a viab

Therefore, it seemed unlikely that Charles had gone mad to the extent of conspiring with Sullivan. However, there were still many unknowns in Fredonia. Fortunately, they were not entirely devoid of sources of information in the country.After Hesper and Rickard saved Crosleigh, the Pisanos expressed immense gratitude to them. Crosleigh's admiration for Hesper had reached new heights, and he had come to accept the fact that Hesper was married to Rickard, believing that no one else was worthy of her.Hesper felt a bit embarrassed by Crosleigh's attitude, but ultimately, they were all in the same situation. Crosleigh understood Hesper and Rickard's relationship and chose not to get involved further. For Hesper, that was sufficient.With these thoughts in mind, Hesper sighed and gently touched her abdomen. For the sake of her unborn child and herself, she needed to navigate the challenges ahead, just as they had overcome numerous difficulties before. She couldn't let go of the beautiful

Even though Pennleigh understood this very well, he couldn't help but feel guilty for not being able to help more.Hesper recognized the limitations of investigating these matters, given the vast difference in power between their families. She decided to shift her focus to someone more suitable for the task and thought of Camille. Although it had been a while since they last contacted each other, Hesper trusted Camille because they had faced life-and-death situations together.Considering the sensitivity of the situation with Charles, Hesper first consulted Rickard. They had almost forgotten about Camille due to the extended period without contact and their desire not to disturb her life.Reflecting on the past, they acknowledged that Camille had been with them on Leafdelle Island, not out of her own desires but out of a sense of obligation and gratitude. Despite this, Camille had played her part exceptionally well."Now, if we can't resolve the issue with Charles, things might not

Seemingly aware of what Hesper was thinking, Camille sighed and said, "The situation here is complicated and simple at the same time. Simply put, when you least expected it, Charles had already made a move against me."In other words, Ermione had gotten help from Charles. Hesper's face darkened. It became apparent that Charles did not need someone capable of managing the Moreaus effectively. Instead, he just needed a puppet that he could control at will. Since Camille clearly did not fit this requirement and was aligned with them, Charles had replaced her with Ermione.Sighing, Hesper said, "You should have informed us in advance. We could have brainstormed solutions together."Camille chuckled softly before responding, "At that time, your situation in Montequinto probably wasn't any better. Besides, Charles wouldn't have succeeded if my family didn't betray me."Camille had always understood that despite her efforts to lead the Moreaus to higher grounds, they remained ungrateful.
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1788
Talking about this, Camille looked somewhat helpless and appeared lost in thought for a moment before speaking. "Even without Charles's involvement, they would eventually find a way to replace me."Sensing Camille's discomfort, Hesper and Rickard exchanged glances, skillfully avoiding delving into that matter. Remembering the earlier mention by Camille about something she could not discuss over the phone, Hesper said, "Let's go inside first. There's something we need to talk about, right?"Camille nodded and said seriously, "Come in with me."The apartment was simple but not shabby, and it seemed cozy. Though Camille was no longer part of the Moreaus, there were still loyal subordinates who had arranged everything in advance, such as her butler. Without Charles's influence, it would not be difficult for her to overthrow Ermione and return to the Moreaus.Entering the room, Hesper observed the apartment. Despite its simplicity, it was warm and decorated with various daily items, res

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
