A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 471
Mrs. Potter originally did not understand why Rickard would fall for Hesper. In fact, Hesper’s appearance was considered ordinary, so if she and Rickard were to stand next to each other, they probably would not make a perfect match.Needless to talk about her background, Hesper was only an ordinary designer.But Hesper had a unique quality that could not help but attract others’ attention. She was a solemn and sincere lady, so much so that even Mrs. Potter had taken a liking to her, let alone a man."You should grab some well-deserved rest for now, Ms. Rivera. I’ll take my leave first.""Okay."...On the other side of things, Rickard was standing in front of the gate of the grounds of Daybreak, and his hawk-like gaze was fixed on the slowly opening gate."Yo, what's brought you here, Mr. Duval?" Riley covered his face and chuckled. "It seems that we still haven’t figured out the extent of your ability, Mr. Duval. You actually managed to find it here."Myriade stayed behind Ril

Professor Miles took a few more steps forward, Rickard seemed to know that Julian was in a dilemma. He did not say anything and quietly watched as he walked over."How about it, Dr. Zink? Your love rival is standing over there showing off his might. Are you willing to turn all your hard work into a joke?" Riley chuckled twice. "You know, perhaps I do have my own ulterior motive, but after getting along for such a long time, I really care about our friendship. I really can’t watch this timid look of yours now.""Do you really think I won’t know that you only want to use me to deal with Rickard Duval?" Julian sneered. "I know best what I mean to you. That psycho can’t come back now, so you should be the person who wants to kill me the most in the world."Riley looked at Julian with a smile for a while. "However, Dr. Zink, your actions seem to tell me that a collaboration between us is about to be reached.""What are you two talking about?" Professor Miles saw that Julian had not caug

Professor Miles nodded. He knew about this and had reminded Julian before."Then how do we know that you’re only checking to see if there are surveillance devices in our phones and not stealing our personal information?" Julian sneered. "I’m afraid we might’ve gone from one kidnapper to another."The person in charge of welcoming them smiled when he heard the words, and then explained bluntly, "In a sense, we saved you only because you happened to have been captured along with your master, not because we needed you. If you don’t believe in us, you can get out of the car now. However, any electronic equipment that hasn’t been inspected won’t be allowed to come with us.""You—!""Please do understand the position that we’re in."Julian looked at Rickard.‘Such a blunt warning is obviously something that Rickard would say. He would only pretend to be calm and magnanimous in front of others, but in fact, he looks down on me deep down. This was already the case when I was living in th

Rickard nodded. "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get the patient to cooperate with you as much as possible... In fact, she really hopes that she can recover from the injuries too.""That’s good."Rickard turned his head and sighed indistinctly.‘I currently have no way to directly reveal my identity, and I can’t tie Hesper down and force her into receiving treatment. What’s more, if Hesper were to know my true identity, she might not want this treatment. Although I was a little impulsive and have brought them back, how should I bring this up to her?’...On the other hand, Hesper felt that her health seemed to be getting a lot better, so she asked Pennleigh to help bring her laptop to her home."Me... Me?" Pennleigh seemed a little flattered. "Okay, I’ll send it to you right now.""Mr. Pisano." Hesper frowned, feeling a little helpless. "Were you listening to me just now? I just told you that I have a check-up in the morning, and you can just send the things over in the afternoon.

After going through what happened during this period of time, Julian’s brows became more and more tightly creased. "Is Hesper okay now? How could the Lanes do this to her? How is this different from kicking down the ladder? How can they just hand all the projects that Hesper created for them and that made profits to someone else?"Rickard had no answer to those questions, so he shook his head, did not say anything, turned to Professor Miles, and said, "She’s still in the hospital now. Someone is taking care of her and will supervise her during this time. It’ll take about a week before she’ll be back."Rickard was now the client and benefactor who controlled everything, so Professor Miles nodded. "Of course."They were standing in front of the door when a voice sounded from the side out of the blue."Rickard Duval?"Seeing Rickard turn his head back, Pennleigh strode up to him and stood still right in front of Rickard. "Perfect, I was still wondering why there would be such a kind-

After hanging up the phone, Hesper could not help but feel that Pennleigh seemed to have something to say, but she could not figure out what he wanted to say.It had always been Hesper’s style to leave things that she did not understand aside first, so she turned on the phone and got on with life.Sometimes anonymity could really help someone avoid a lot of trouble. For example, the new client who contacted Hesper this time around turned out to be Rachael Lane.Yes, it was Rachael—the Twiggy that saved her back then. Hesper actually felt quite complicated deep down. During the three years when she took over Rachael’s identity and spot among the Lanes, Hesper often felt guilty whenever this name appeared, feeling that she had robbed her of too many things. However, she would at times think that all of it was God’s will too.‘Matthew must be very happy to have found his younger sister. On the other hand, his fake sister not only lied to him before leaving Emperion but also went compl

‘Isaac... He was originally an employee of the Lanes, so he’s probably following Rachael around just like how he did with me, protecting her by her side. But I was the one who hired Renee, so will Matthew let Renee stay and continue with her previous job after I left?’Just as she was thinking, there were two knocks on the door, Hesper lifted her head and saw Pennleigh’s assistant and Mrs. Potter walking in together."I saw him looking for you at your doorstep just now, so I brought him while I came in."Lionel gave Hesper everything she needed, took a closer look at her legs, and gave off a slightly worried expression. "I didn’t expect your injury to be this serious, Ms. Rivera. And you still planning to work at such times? You’re way too hardworking. Ms. Rivera, you might not know about this, but Mr. Pisano was so worried when he saw the situation in your office that morning that he almost called the police."Hesper indeed did not know that part of the story, and Pennleigh did no

Mrs. Potter truthfully reported everything she heard and saw to Rickard.Rickard was on the balcony, and he happened to be able to see the large open space that sat in between the gate of Hesper’s house and the courtyard. He also knew how long Pennleigh had been sitting there.‘I guess he didn’t expect that he would be sold out by his subordinate when he’s not around.’Rickard knew Hesper well enough to know that if she were to know about this, she might leave Eustoma after.‘Half of the things that I must accomplish in Fredonia have been done. I’ve found Professor Miles to heal Hesper’s leg injuries, so what’s left now is to find out the killer who’s been trying to harm Hesper.’Because Professor Miles had spent a significant amount of time in Daybreak, Rickard tried to extract some useful information from him."When I was at Daybreak?" Professor Miles had been imprisoned for a long time, so after getting out of Daybreak, all he wanted to do was to drink a little wine. Thus, wit

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
