A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 317
Rickard locked the door from the inside and checked the room for hidden cameras and recording equipment. He also examined places where memory and storage devices could be stashed away, scrutinizing every corner of the room carefully, and found quite a few pieces of equipment.It was rather inconvenient for him to bring detection tools along, so Rickard could only make sure that there was no camera in the room. As for other monitoring devices, he could not be sure, so the room had been very quiet throughout the whole afternoon as Rickard barely made a sound. He spent the whole time communicating with Benji through typing on his phone.“He’s so sharp.”At the same time, Myriade was sitting in front of her computer monitor with the lollipop that Riley promised to buy for her the other day in her mouth. The screen in front of her had been completely blacked out, and the data showed that there were only three recording devices left undiscovered in the entire room.Rickard was able to ge

But things were different now, he had to take the risk for Hesper.…Meanwhile, during the fifth round of the competition, the originally boisterous hotel had become much quieter.Most of the competitors had been eliminated, and almost all the remaining participants were staying in single rooms now. Room 345 was the only room that was still housing two people, which were Hesper and Celine.As usual, Hesper arrived earlier than anyone else.The temperature in Genecity was very low that day, and perhaps because of this year’s weather, Hesper only got to know that it might snow again that day after reading the weather forecast.Genecity had not had snow in several years.After staying alone in room 345 for a while, someone knocked on the door abruptly.Hesper got up to open the door and raised her eyebrows when she saw Michelle standing in front of the room, looking a little hesitant.Hesper wore a coat that day, and underneath the coat was a very ordinary-looking knitted sweater

But nobody knew if he was speaking the truth or not...Hesper was still thinking that she was not able to track down the person who provided the blogger with the photos, but Michelle was so terrified that she actually blew her own cover."What about the information that you disclosed to the media? You told them about my marriage and divorce from years ago." Hesper looked expressionless, which made it difficult for Michelle to figure out her emotion. However, Michelle was astonished after hearing her question, and her expression changed slightly."It’s Juniper Wight! Juniper is the person who told me that!"Michelle had been busy worrying about so many things and had forgotten about the person who told her the half-truth.‘It was Juniper! She’s the one who told me about Hesper’s past, where she dropped out of school to get married and got divorced later on in life. If it weren’t for this, I’d never have been able to get to know these secrets of hers.‘Juniper must know Hesper’s tr

Celine wanted to say that one’s love for her mother was a given and that no one in the world would not love her mother, but she remembered that Hesper was an orphan, so she remained silent.The recording and video cameras in the room had been turned off, so Celine had no worries, and continued, "When I was very young, my father died in a work-related accident, and my mother had to take over our household to raise us. I used to have a younger sister too, but she went missing later on in life."Speaking of the past, Celine became a little taciturn. "Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if I should hate the world for what happened. Our family has encountered so many misfortunes throughout life, and even though my father passed away very early on, we still worked extremely hard and tried to live life to the fullest, but my family received another huge blow when my sister went missing years later."Since then, my mother’s mental state has been rather under the weather. She might sometimes r

"Get me another copy of the info on that quack doctor's apprentice."Rickard was looking down, trying to compile the documents. After a long pause without hearing a response from Benji, he furrowed his brows."Benji?"Benji stayed silent for a while before finally answering, "Mr. Duval, it seems we have a more pressing matter at hand… We just received news that Ms. Lane is missing."***By the break of dawn, Matthew's plane had arrived in Genecity.The person who realized Hesper had gone missing was Renfrew—Hesper had promised to buy him chicken noodles from the shop down the street that evening, but it was past dinner time and Hesper was still nowhere to be seen.He had thought that maybe his mommy got held back at work again and forgot to inform him, so Renfrew decided to send her a text message instead. When she did not reply, he realized that something was wrong.Ms. Myriade had taught him to use the location tracker in the past. Hesper's phone had been secretly tagged by Ms

Hesper opened her eyes in the darkness.Time passed in a blur in the dimness. Laying on the ground, Hesper forced her eyes to open, but she could barely see a thing. All she could remember was showing up in front of Seth Tucker's restaurant.The snowflakes were still falling calmly in the night, melting into tiny water droplets as they landed on Hesper's eyelashes, further blurring her already hazy vision and turning the pitch black into a thick layer of fuzz."Ough…"Hesper softly coughed twice. A rustling sound came from beside her, and a beam of light shone on Hesper's face. A moment later, the light moved closer. Hesper turned her head and saw a pair of white sneakers."Ms. Lane, it’s been a while."All the strength in her body seemed to have escaped her. Hesper struggled with all her might to lift her head just to catch a glimpse of the person in front of her. Having always been sensitive to harsh lights, she could barely keep her eyes open. The figure leaned over, with a vo

The girl thanked him politely, and Rickard sat back down without giving her a second thought.Myriade’s fingers touched a lollipop in her pocket as she looked out the window of the plane. Although Riley was no one exceptional or remarkable, at the very least, he was not stingy when it came to gifts. She still had a bag full of candy from him. If she ate one a day, it could probably last her till the day she returned to the organization."You seem nervous."Rickard turned around and realized the girl was staring straight at him. There was no emotion in those deadpan eyes, unlike the eyes of a typical child.The plane had already taken off. Myriade took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Rickard. "We'll be arriving in Genecity soon. Worrying ain’t gonna make the journey any shorter, you know."Rickard took the lollipop from the girl's hand—the kind of cheap fruit-flavored lollipop that cost but a dime. It might have been enough to coax a child, but the girl was staring

Although the accuracy of the intel was unconfirmed, since Renfrew said he trusted this "friend", Matthew did not want to risk giving up on the new lead they had."Thank you, Uncle Matt."Renfrew was starting to like this uncle whom he had never met before that day. Anyhow, his top priority now was to find Mommy.Why did Ms. Myriade send him this location with an encrypted password, and how did Ms. Myriade even have this information? Renfrew looked back down at his phone. He sent a bunch of messages to Ms. Myriade, but none of them went through.Renfrew sighed deeply and got into another car with Matthew. Clutching his phone with a heavy heart, hoping that Ms. Myriade—the friend who had been by his side since he could remember—would not lie to him.***The moment Hesper saw the mole, she knew.She had no enemies, nor was she worth any real value to be kidnapped. Thus, this person who targeted her out of nowhere could only be none other than the assassin hired by Juniper.The man

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
