A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 479
"We’re going to be married soon. At such a sensitive time, it’s better not to go out and offend the Lanes," Carter said. "Matthew isn’t someone that we should trifle with. If he finds out that you badmouthed his sister and looks into the both of us, that’s it. We're doomed."There was not even a slight hint of hilarity in Carter’s voice, so Juniper restrained herself, then refuted angrily after a short while, "Why are you so fierce? Of course, I have a sense of proportion, so why are you so worried?""You aren’t even afraid of Rickard, so why would you be afraid of Matthew Lane?"Juniper turned her head around and realized that Carter’s expression had not softened at all. Instead, he lowered his gaze, and there seemed to be a trace of threat in his tone. "Listen to me. Don’t act rashly and do something out of our plan."Juniper was speechless. She then withdrew her gaze and nodded obediently. "I know, don’t worry."Only then did Carter give a faint smile. He rubbed Juniper’s head.

Mrs. Potter was a little flattered. She had been a housekeeper for many years, and it was very common for others to look down on her because of her profession. Someone who could communicate with their help as they would with an ordinary person could be considered a very well-mannered employer. As for someone like Hesper… She had never met one yet."It’s just my responsibility. If you want to thank me, then you can thank my employer." Mrs. Potter smiled and handed over the completed forms to Hesper. "Congratulations on your discharge."...After lying in the hospital for a week, it felt like her bones were about to crumble.Fortunately, she did not completely delay her work. She had finished designing Juniper’s wedding dress, and all she needed to do now was to wait for the proofs to be produced and then hang them onto the mannequin. With that, her project with Juniper would come to an end.Hesper walked into the yard and saw the roses that had been placed by her in the yard before

Hesper opened the door with one hand, and she was petrified when she saw the man in front of her. It had been a long time since Julian saw Hesper. His gaze turned gentle, and he stepped forward to give her a hug. "It has been a long time, Hesper. It's me."Hesper blinked her eyes several times, as she did not expect a hug from Julian. When she finally came around to her senses, she pushed him away and observed him from head to toe. "You've been released at last. Are you okay?""I'm fine." Julian's heart sank when Hesper pushed him away. However, when he saw her expression, he knew that she must've deciphered his previous message.This was something nobody would be able to understand aside from the two of them.Hesper frowned and looked outside for a moment, then closed the door and led Julian into the room."You don't have any monitoring device on you, right?"Julian shook his head. "Don't worry. I've completely cut ties with them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you.""Tha

Hesper shrugged her shoulders at Julian's somewhat surprised expression."Am I that kind of person who'll just give up because I'm afraid of a few setbacks?" Hesper said as she patted her leg. "I'll only fail once. I know how hard it's for you to get this opportunity for me, so I won't give it up."Julian felt somewhat guilty facing Hesper's burning gaze.To be precise, it was Rickard who got this opportunity for her, but he had Julian come forward to tell her about it so that she would accept it.Even until now, Julian still could not figure out why Rickard would let him come and take all the credit despite knowing that he liked Hesper. Not only that, but Rickard bore a deep animosity towards him as well. Did Rickard not want Hesper to know that he had done a lot for her as well?"Ian?" Hesper stretched her hand forward and waved it in front of Julian's eyes. "Where are you staying now? Do you need me to send you back? Daybreak is pretty influential in Antellon. Although you've e

Pennleigh nodded and patted Hesper's shoulder. "I'll discuss this matter with Ms. Rivera. We won't wrongly accuse any innocent people, and we'll definitely bring the culprit to justice. It truly astounds me that there is such a vicious person in Eustoma. This is something unacceptable. After confirming his identity, I'll hand over the relevant evidence to the police."Hesper felt somewhat complicated looking at Pennleigh now, but it was not the time to talk about this.The crowd started to disperse, and Hesper followed Pennleigh into her office. The office had been renovated and looked no different from before she left. Pennleigh turned around and closed the door."Do you have any ideas on how to deal with Evon?"Hesper raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you think I've been at home all this time thinking about how to deal with Evon? Dealing with him is too easy. He couldn't even sit still just now, right?"Pennleigh did not notice Evon just now, but he nodded at her words. "Okay, I b
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 484
It went without saying that Hesper understood everything that Pennleigh said. Before she received any recognition from her clients, the very reason she could get any designing jobs in the beginning was mainly due to Eustoma's reputation. Pennleigh and Eustoma had provided a lot of opportunities for her, but she was not going to stay in Antellon forever. When the semester ended, she would graduate, which also meant she would have to go back to her home country.If she continued to stay in the comfortable environment provided by Eustoma, she would not be able to advance further."Alright, let's stop worrying about something that hasn't happened yet. At the very least, I still have to finish the project I have in Eustoma first. Otherwise, I may not be able to explain myself to Elise," Hesper said as she patted Pennleigh's shoulder. "People come and go all the time, Mr. Pisano. As a boss of a company, you should be very familiar with it, so you don't have to feel too disappointed." P

Before Andris could say anything, Hesper and Pennleigh walked in."Seriously, Mr. Etienne? Do you really think I don't have any evidence?" Hearing what Hesper said, Andris pulled his arm out of Evon's clutches and looked at him with disgust. He had almost been convinced by Evon just now. How could he believe in a bad person like Evon who would stop at nothing to achieve his goal?Hesper walked inside and looked at the panicked Evon sternly. "It seems to me that you still think you can get away from this, Mr. Etienne. But if I didn't get my hands on the surveillance footage from that time, how would I make such a statement in front of everyone?"Looking at the defeated expression on Evon's face, Pennleigh could not help but sigh inwardly. If he had not known in advance that Hesper actually did not have any evidence, he would have thought that she really had gotten the surveillance footage. "If you really have the evidence, then show it to us," Evon said.Chuckling, Hesper nodded

"Do you guys know how awesome Rivera was just now?" Andris shared with everyone about what happened in Evon's office just now. Evon was taken away by the police several minutes ago, so everyone now knew who was the one that locked Hesper up in the office. It was just that none of them expected that Evon would do something like that just out of jealousy. "Alright. This matter is resolved now. All of you can return to your work." If it were not because she had been pushed to the corner, Hesper really did not want to have a fall out with her colleague, especially since she was leaving Eustoma soon. Now that Evon had to leave Eustoma because of this incident, Hesper felt somewhat guilty for Pennleigh.Pennleigh could see through her worries, but at this point, it was completely meaningless to say anything."There's a new project available. Do you want to work on it?" Pennleigh said as he sent the client's information to Hesper. Hesper lowered her head and was a bit puzzled. "Rach

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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
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
