"I knew it. You're a clever guy."She signaled to someone nearby to fetch a chair and promptly placed it across from Sonny, continuing the conversation, "You must be aware of Mr. Deschamps' intentions. With the failure of the hallucinogenic drugs, what other options does he have? Save a dead baby?"This was precisely what Hesper aimed to uncover. She understood that Charles would go to great lengths to grasp any glimmer of hope, as even her memory recovery had been orchestrated by him.Now that Charles had not cut ties with Sullivan, it indicated that Sullivan had provided him with newfound hope. However, Hesper was equally convinced that there would be no progress with hallucinogenic drugs.So what did Sullivan promise him?"Well..." Sonny hesitated briefly, which caught Hesper's attention. There was no way Sonny would have hesitated in a life-or-death situation unless he was under some form of threat."Did Charles threaten you?" Hesper asked with a sly grin. "There's a chance y

Hesper nodded. She was grateful that Charles had insisted on her playing the role of a "daughter" before. Otherwise, she would not have known Sonny's weakness. Even if he intended to tell the truth, she would not have believed him.She understood Charles's desire for cryopreservation technology. After all, it was much more reliable than hallucinogenic drugs and did not harm others. After contemplating, Hesper patted Camille's shoulder and said, "I'll discuss something with Rickard. Don't worry about Sonny. Just make sure he doesn't get rescued."Upon hearing Hesper's words, Camille nodded and watched her walk away.*Later, Hesper found Rickard to share the information she had just learned. If Charles sought an opportunity and Sullivan could provide it, they might not be incapable of offering the same. Even though they did not have the necessary technology and machinery, obtaining them would not be difficult. It was a feasible task with Professor Miles's help and Sundial's support.

"Camille, wait for us here. We'll be back shortly," Hesper said.Camille nodded, reassuring her that their team was ready to intervene if anything happened. "Let's go inside," Hesper said, turning back and entering the gate with Rickard. Camille and the Deschamps exchanged glances. They had fought countless times before, never expecting a time of peaceful coexistence.Charles had prepared a grand feast. Without hesitation, Hesper pulled Rickard to a seat, checked for poison, and merrily served him a piece of ribs."No poison, eat up," she said, grinning.Seeing Hesper, Charles inexplicably felt like he was witnessing his daughter and son-in-law visiting. Of course, he could not stand Rickard.With a poker face, he watched Hesper feed Rickard, who sighed in resignation. Although aware that Hesper was intentionally provoking Charles, Rickard could not help feeling helpless."Enough of the act," Charles said with a cold expression. "All the dishes are poisoned. Eat, and you'll die

Even Hesper had not anticipated things to go so smoothly. At that time, she thought the approval for this document would not come through, no matter what. However, to her surprise, Aiden reached out to the higher-ups overnight.Now that the document had been approved, it was a done deal once they returned. The whole affair was settled within the first few minutes of entering the Deschamp residence, making it a pleasant surprise for Hesper. Now, looking at Charles, she raised an eyebrow."Now, make your choice: Sullivan or us."Sullivan was known for his cunning strategies. Being privately funded, he might indeed possess such technology with ample resources at his disposal. However, technology was constantly advancing, and the chances of success increased with progress. Besides, the government would certainly be the first to get any update, and the world's most advanced technology wielders had already agreed to help Charles's child.Part of the reason was the uniqueness of Charles

The drama in Fredonia concluded more smoothly than expected. Hesper and Rickard chose not to stay, and Charles and Antoinette accompanied them on their return journey. Assuming all went as planned, Charles would be making a permanent home in Halwanest. Hesper regarded this as good news, as it meant she could still tap into his network occasionally. Nobody executed it better than he did. Despite having access to less information in Fredonia compared to Halwanest, Hesper had unwavering trust in his tactics.He would soon catch up.Upon arriving in Halwanest, Hesper's first order of business was to express her gratitude to Master Camden, for without his assistance, things might not have gone so smoothly. She had merely been testing the waters but hadn't expected him to be so helpful.Rickard chose not to enter the main courtyard, but Hesper was well-acquainted with the place, as it was challenging to forget the paths she had traversed before. Upon entering, they discovered the pres

"You're back," Elise greeted Hesper, attempting to win her favor. Hesper could sense the effort, but when she looked at her mother, she couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness.The difference was that with Benjamin, they had never spent much time together, so Hesper didn't experience as intense a feeling of abandonment. It was different with Elise because she had lived as her daughter and knew what it was like to be loved. Hesper found it difficult to accept the betrayal and abandonment, which made her question the validity of her feelings.Sensing Hesper's resistance, Elise understood that after everything that had transpired, their relationship would never be the same again. However, they were determined to repay her with love for the rest of their lives.Hesper glanced at Elise and nodded before saying, "I'm going to see Grandpa. It's been a while since I last saw him."Without waiting for Elise's response, Hesper walked around her and ascended the stairs. Although Elise ha

It was her responsibility, the mission to find her parents and reunite her fractured family. This had always been her deepest desire. Despite the unexpected twists and turns, she carried no regrets.Arthur grasped the depth of her sentiment and nodded, his eyes filled with affection, evoking a longing within Hesper that she suppressed. Now wasn't the time for tears. The path lay ahead, and she felt compelled to conclude everything swiftly, restoring a semblance of normalcy to her life once the lingering issues were resolved.She yearned to grant Renfrew the opportunity to bask in the sunlight again, sparing him the weight of her decisions."Recent events have brought about some chaos, so you must stay home to avoid any mishaps."Hesper regarded Arthur with solemnity, and he nodded in understanding. Despite his age, he was far from foolish and had kept abreast of the recent tumult in Halwanest. The weight of responsibility rested squarely on Hesper and Rickard's shoulders, and they

Hesper could discern the unspoken words Nathaniel wanted to convey the other day. It was all meant to culminate in regret, for she would never love him, nor would she forgive him for the pain he had inflicted on her and her family.Despite her understanding of this, she couldn't help but feel a tangle of emotions. Nevertheless, she knew her course of action. Nathaniel's feelings for her had vanished along with him. Her path was clear—she had to continue living her life well."I didn't want to tell you because I accepted Rickard. Without him, you wouldn't be where you are now," Matthew admitted with a hint of helplessness. "As long as you understand."Recognizing Matthew's concern that Rickard might take issue with this revelation, Hesper smiled reassuringly."Don't worry, he won't mind."While Rickard could be jealous at times, he would fret less when someone else was looking out for her. They had no secrets between them.Hesper turned around and noticed Rickard approaching. He f

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
