"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

"Ahem!" Isaac nudged at Rachael when his attempt to notify her failed. Rachael was in a bad mood right now. When Isaac nudged at her, she raised her head and glared at him. It was only then that she realized Isaac's expression was ugly. Even though Rachael was the true heir of the Lanes, she did not dare to say anything when Isaac's expression turned dark. Suddenly, she realized that her surroundings were a bit too quiet. She looked around and remembered that she was here to attend the shareholder meeting."It seems like you're really busy, Ms. Lane. These messages keep coming in one after another. I'm sure they're even more important than managing Lane Holdings, right?" A certain shareholder chuckled mockingly. In fact, who was in charge of Lane Holdings was the least of these shareholders' concern. As long as they could earn enough money, they did not care who owned the company.However, the company's profits had obviously declined ever since Hesper left, and Rachael did not se

Ignoring her, Matthew turned around and glanced at the group of shareholders impassively with a frown on his face.Matthew's authority in Lane Holdings was second only to Arthur. However, Arthur had not been to the company in a long time due to his old age, so Matthew basically had absolute authority in the company.Upon seeing Matthew's face, the board members knew that this matter was unlikely to succeed.Everyone knew that Matthew adored Hesper a lot. If anyone wanted to touch her belongings while she was away, they had to get Matthew's permission first. "Matt…"Rachael did not expect Matthew to suddenly come back to the company. After all, he had been busy searching for Hesper lately. Otherwise, Rachael wouldn't have dared to propose touching Hesper's project right then.Seeing that things were going nowhere, Rachael decided to shatter the silence. "Why can't we touch her projects, Matt? You're the most important person for Lane Holdings, yet you're away from the company all

Julian walked over with a complicated expression donning his face."Do you sit here every day to monitor Hesper?"Rickard turned around. The emotions that were at the depth of his gaze were unreadable. "That's none of your business. Has Hesper come back? She should be off work by now."Julian was silent for a moment before saying, "She just called and said she needed to call off the treatment tonight because something came up.""Okay," Rickard replied flatly. Julian did not move either and continued to stand behind Rickard, staring at him."What kind of deal do you have with Daybreak, or should I say Riley?" Rickard asked.Julian clenched the knife in his hand, and his whole body trembled when he heard the question. Although Rickard was facing away from him, Julian felt as if he was being watched, as if all Rickard could see through all of his moves."I don't know what you're talking about," he replied.Rickard sneered and did not say anything anymore. Mrs. Potter came in wit

Hesper had some knowledge about gemstones, so she could tell that the price of this bracelet must be very high."This is too valuable; I can't take it." Hesper closed the case and pushed it back to Elise. "I haven't completed the design for you yet, so please forgive me for not being able to accept it."As if she had known that Hesper would not accept the bracelet, Elise smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry, Hesper. It's true that this bracelet is expensive, but price is just a number to me. I think you look good wearing it, so I'm giving it to you. You should take it."Even though it sounded a bit aggressive, Hesper knew that Elise was right."Then, thank you so much, Aunt Elise."Hesper took out the bracelet from the box and quickly put it on. Elise was right. The sapphire was clear and beautiful, and it matched Hesper's fair skin very well."See? I know you'd look good wearing it."Smiling, Elise took Hesper's hand and admired the bracelet carefully for a while. After that

Hesper had a great time at Elise's place. Charles finished his meal quickly, but he did not leave the table. Instead, he stayed and started to do his work. On the contrary, Elise ate slowly while chewing the fat with Hesper.There were times where Charles raised his head and looked at Elise. Hesper felt that he wanted to remind Elise not to talk while eating, but every time he saw the smile on her face, he kept silent. "Oh dear, I forgot the time." Elise looked at Charles. "Why didn't you tell me?""You were having such a great time, I didn't want to interrupt you." Charles rose to his feet and told the butler to bring Elise's medicine over. After that, he looked at Hesper and asked, "Do you want to stay the night?"Hesper waved her hand. She did not have the intention of becoming their third wheel. Besides, it was getting late, and she still had to go to Eustoma tomorrow. Therefore, she stood up and said, "Thank you for the meal, Aunt Elise and Mr. Deschamps." "Aunt Elise?" Cha

Although Hesper's tone was a bit off, Julian did not think too much about it. It was understandable to feel tired after working until so late.Looking at the lights that had been turned off, Julian placed his phone on his chest and whispered, "Good night, Hesper."After that, he turned off the lights as well and started to think about what he should wear to see her the next day.'Hesper, do you know how much I love you and miss you when we're apart?'*After smoothly returning home, Hesper prepared dinner early and waited for the arrival of Julian and the mysterious doctor. Soon, someone knocked on the door."Wow, it smells like heaven."The mysterious doctor and Julian went into the dining room behind Hesper. She gestured for the two to sit down and said, "I made some random dishes for you guys. Ian should be able to eat them. Doctor, as for your name…"The mysterious doctor waved his hand. "You can call me whatever you want. I haven't used any names for years, so I can't even

"She's started to receive the treatment, and the doctor promised that she'll be healed within six months," Rickard said plainly. "It's your birthday next week. If you want anything, I'll let Benji buy it for you."Renfrew looked at Rickard with some disdain. "I don't need anything. If you're going to give someone a birthday gift, you need to be sincere. If I need something, I can ask Uncle Benji anytime.""If you don't want it, then that's fine with me. I don't have time to go back," Rickard replied, his face expressionless."Daddy, it seems to me that you don't love me as much as you used to," Renfrew said."I'm busy taking care of your mother," Rickard replied.Clicking his tongue twice, Renfrew said, "Alright, I'll forgive you. As your superior, I hope you can complete the task quickly and bring my mommy back safely and soundly.""Alright." Rickard chuckled. "I won't let you down, Sir."*The next day, when Hesper went to Eustoma in a wheelchair, it attracted a lot of attenti

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
