A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 389
In an instant, Helen got pushed into the eye of the storm, but she was still very bewildered.‘I never told anyone about the result since I got it back. I should be the only person who’s being haunted by it day and night, considering it and weighing the pros and cons repeatedly. So how did Simon come to know about it?’“Helen, what exactly do you have in your possession?”When Arthur opened his mouth, Helen knew that even if she did not want to show the result at this moment, she had to do so, as it was better to just bring the result up openly. That was the only way to help Hesper maintain the image that she had been keeping all this while.“It’s a paternity test.” Helen took out a paternity test result that had been folded multiple times from her coat pocket. It looked as if she had been keeping it for quite some time. “I must admit that I once doubted Hesper’s identity, so I secretly collected some of her hair when I went to her room not long ago.”Hesper had not known about th

Matthew had walked up to Hesper’s side at some point and held her hand tightly.Hesper looked back at him. She was hesitant to speak, but her voice sounded extremely hoarse, and she was unable to utter a single word.“I was shocked too when Hesper was brought back to the Lanes by Matthew, but when I saw that everyone, especially Father, liked her so much, I couldn’t bear to clear things up with Father,” Theodore continued to explain calmly. “Hesper is also Father’s granddaughter, so if we still couldn’t find Rachael, why not let Hesper stay with Father?”At first, Arthur thought that Hesper approached him only to lie to him, and he only wanted to hear her explanation. He did not expect that he would find both his granddaughters in just one day.Even Arthur, the man who had experienced countless life and deaths, had teary eyes at this moment.“What about you, Simon? Since you already knew everything back then, why would you tell Matthew that Hesper was his sister?”Simon looked at

The reason Arthur believed in them was due to some preconceived notions, but everything that happened that night was absurd in Hesper's point of view. She did not believe a single word of what Simon and Theodore said. "But the paternity test result can't be fake, and Aunt Helen wouldn't stand on your side for no reason. Obviously, the things that happened tonight took her by surprise as well," Matthew said, "She must have done the paternity test a long time ago. It's only after the truth was revealed tonight that she hesitated about whether it was more beneficial for her to disclose the result or not."Hesper was stunned for a moment before saying, "So… I'm really one of the Lanes? I'm really Grandpa Arthur's granddaughter and your biological cousin sister?"Matthew nodded, his eyes finally showing a hint of warmth. "Hesper, we hit the jackpot in this gamble tonight."The tears that Hesper had been holding back the whole night finally rolled down her cheeks. She threw himself into

Hesper knew what he was trying to say. He wanted her to stay at home and stop thinking about going back to the company. As long as Hesper did according to his wishes, Wilfred was willing to keep an amicable relationship with her. Hesper gave a cold smirk. Even though she no longer had the power to manage the company, it did not mean that she had to yield to Wilfred. On the contrary, she did not have to care about Wilfred's thoughts anymore. In the past, the reason she did not have a fall out with Wilfred was that she did not want to put Arthur in a difficult position. Besides, taking care of a company was more difficult than she imagined, so she had to maintain a good relationship with everyone.However, things were different now."Everyone here in this room knows what you're thinking, so you can drop the act now, Uncle Will," Hesper said, offering Wilfred a smile. She pushed the things on the table back to Wilfred and continued. "You can take these back. I don't think I can acce

Hesper could not return to the company, so this meant that her previous plan to compete for custody of Renfrew by making the Duval Group bankrupt was completely impossible to achieve.Hesper had been thinking about this issue for days. In fact, she had already considered it in the past. After all, Rachael would return sooner or later, and Hesper had long anticipated that day."I should probably finish my studies first. The Lanes are in chaos right now, and I don't want to cause trouble for everyone.""I'll talk to Grandpa and try to get you back to the company," Matthew said while shaking his head. "You're very capable. Even if you're not one of the legitimate born Lanes, you're a valuable asset to the Lane Holdings, not to mention that you have the family's blood flowing in you…"Hesper knew that these were completely different concepts, but she understood that Matthew wanted to give her a chance. If he really cared about bloodlines, he would not have brought her back to the Lane

At first, Roberto thought Hesper would turn him down. After all, Hesper had rejected him firmly once. However, this was indeed a wonderful opportunity. That was why he still sent the application form to Hesper, despite knowing that the chances were slim. To his surprise, Hesper said she would consider it.[Hesper: Something came up, and going abroad is a big deal. So, I need some time to consider. Please give me one more day.][Roberto: Sure. Take your time. I'll reserve the slot for you.]After she had finished talking to Roberto, Hesper started to go through the things she needed to prepare for studying abroad. With the recommendation from Roberto and her result from the Lane Group's competition, she believed that applying for the university should not be a problem.Regarding the necessary documents for going abroad, Hesper had been traveling between different countries for work, and her visa for Fredonia was still valid, so she could go there anytime.As for Renfrew and Matth

Hesper was stunned.Jessie fell silent for a moment before turning to face Hesper and said in a serious voice, "Well, that's possible."It was only then Mrs. Jenkins knew Hesper had something important to tell them today. She grabbed Xavier with one hand and Hesper with the other while leading them into the living hall. "Sit down and tell me everything. There is no need to rush things. It's New Year, after all.""Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins," Hesper said with a nod."You don't have to thank me. Xavier is your professor, and people always say that once a professor, always a father, so I can also be considered as half of your mother," Mrs. Jenkins said, patting Hesper's hand."I made a lot of your favorite food tonight. You know what? Something weird happened today. Xavier and Jess don't like fish, but when I was at the market today, I saw a fish that was very fresh, so I bought it. You like to eat fish, don't you?"Looking at Mrs. Jenkins's smiling eyes, a surge of bitterness flooded

"Jeez, when can you stop being such an unreliable girl?" Mdm, Jenkins placed the dish on the table and smacked Jessie's arm. "Whoever marries you in the future must be the most unlucky man in the world.""Why do you always say that I can't get married? Do you know how hurtful it is…"They chatted happily throughout the meal, and Hesper finally made up her mind. Xavier was right. An opportunity like this was not something that one would come by every day, and she might not be so lucky the next time.Since she had decided to become a designer, she should respect the path. "You don't have to worry about the procedures. I'll contact them and make sure you can go to Fredonia without any issue," Xavier said. He had a few cups of wine, so his face was red. "Thank you so much, Professor Jenkins." Hesper nodded.After they had finished their meal, Jessie pulled Hesper into her room. Hesper had not told Matthew that she had come back that day, and she had not talked to him about going ab

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
