Hesper closed her eyes for a moment.‘How could I forget about this? Julian was obviously being manipulated before, but I completely overlooked that when he reappeared in front of me. Antellon is Daybreak’s territory, yet Rickard actually went to snatch them out of their headquarters. He probably took a great risk for that.’...Rickard sat on the bed and frowned.The documents in his hand fell to the ground. Rickard clenched his weak hand, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.When Matthew walked into the ward, he saw Rickard was about to bend down to pick up the papers on the floor and stepped forward to pick them up for him. "Why are you still try to put on a tough façade? Didn’t the doctor tell you not to move?"Rickard took the document from him."If it weren't for Hesper’s sake," Matthew said awkwardly, "I wouldn’t even care about your life. If you were to die here, Hesper would certainly feel guilty for it."Hearing this, Rickard paused. "Oh, would she?"Matthew clen

In the lengthy silence, neither of them took the initiative to speak first.Hesper looked at Rickard quietly, and as soon as they exchanged gazes, they realized that apart from indifference, there was no other trace of emotion in the other party’s eyes.She could not help but laugh at herself inwardly. Never had she been so clear that love was not an emotion that could be found in his eyes.‘Perhaps I have a filter on whenever I look at him. Just when will I accept the fact that Rickard doesn’t love me?’——"Excuse me, is this Ms. River A.?"Hearing the familiar voice, Hesper frowned and looked down at the caller ID. It was indeed Juniper, who had not contacted her in quite a long time.‘Her wedding gowns have been completed and are being temporarily stored in Eustoma. So, what’s with the sudden call?’Hesper cleared her throat and responded in her fake voice, "Yes, it’s me."Juniper sat in front of the mirror, holding her phone in one hand and applying ointment on her face wi

Matthew walked in and saw the two of them sitting in the same room without talking to each other. He did not know who was suffocating the other in this situation.In the end, Hesper was the first to raise her head and see Matthew. "Matt... What’s wrong?"Matthew straightened his face. "I might have to go back to Halwanest tomorrow... Grandpa has fallen sick. It’s quite a sudden illness, and his condition is more serious than before.""What?" Hesper frowned when she heard that. "Why would he suddenly fall sick? Grandpa has always been in good health."Arthur’s sudden illness had also interrupted Matthew’s original plan. He originally planned to wait for Hesper’s legs to fully recover before returning to Halwanest. Everything had been arranged too, but he did not expect Arthur to suddenly fall ill.The two walked out of the ward. Matthew took off his jacket and draped it over Hesper’s shoulders."Don’t worry too much. Grandpa’s health has always been rather good, so he’ll be fine."

"Matthew..." Helen held Matthew’s arm, feeling a little hurt deep down. "What are you talking about? Rachael is my biological niece, so how could I not protect her?""So is this her excuse for getting Grandpa so angry that he fell ill? That she's just young...?" Matthew shook his head in disappointment. "She and Hesper are both of the same age, yet while Hesper was perfectly capable of managing the company and making Grandpa happy, why is it that all she’s done so far is get Grandpa hospitalized?"Helen patted Matthew’s arm. "What are you talking about? Rachael is your sister."The living hall suddenly became silent.No one knew when Rachael had appeared behind the two of them. Simon and Theodore both heard the commotion and came down from upstairs too."I knew it... You do prefer Hesper over me. She’s the little sister that you want, while I’m nothing but dust in your eyes." Rachael’s trembling voice sounded as if she was on the brink of bursting into tears. "You’ve only ever lov

The person who confirmed Rachael’s identity the other day was Simon, but for some reason, she always felt as if he did not like her very much. Hence, every time she saw him, she would become very obsequious and dared not speak.Not wanting to say more, Matthew turned to look at Theodore. "How’s Grandpa doing? I’ll go up and change into something else before I go to the hospital.""He’s doing okay. His condition has stabilized a lot."The hall once again became silent.Theodore had always been a rather taciturn person and Matthew had long gotten used to his personality, so the two of them went upstairs in silence until the people downstairs could not hear them. That was when Theodore hesitated before speaking."Matthew, when you were abroad this time around... Did you find Hesper?"Matthew paused for a moment, and then told him the truth. "I did find her. She’s living a good life over there. Her leg injuries have also been cured, so she should be able to come back to Halwanest soo

Seeing the reluctance on Pennleigh’s face, Hesper understood everything deep down, but she still nodded lightly. "It isn't forever. I’m just going back to Halwanest to get some things sorted... I’ll be back in a month at most. I know I still have orders to complete in Eustoma; I won’t be that irresponsible."Pennleigh was visibly relieved when he heard her response, but Hesper hesitated for a moment before she continued to say, "I don’t plan to fall in love now or any time soon. There are more things going on in my life now than you can ever imagine."Looking into Hesper’s eyes, Pennleigh gave a wry smile. "You really aren't leaving me with a chance or space to work with, are you?"Hesper had always regarded Pennleigh as a younger brother, and she had not found out about his feelings for her until very recently. She felt a little guilty deep down, but for this reason, she couldn't give Pennleigh any hope.‘Cutting him off now would be better than dragging things out. There are many

Hesper cut him short. "After all, she's the real Rachael. No matter what happens, you can't speak of her like that," she said, her gaze calm.That being said, judging from how Rachael treated her when she asked her for a commission in Eustoma, Hesper could more or less guess what this new Ms. Lane had done in Lane Holdings. However, she was in no position to comment on her behavior now with her current identity. "Rachael secretly threw away everything related to you in the Lanes. Luckily, Mr. Lane and Master Lane were able to keep some of it," Renee said. Even though she tried her best to remain professional, she still frowned with displeasure as she spoke. Hesper had no particular reaction and simply nodded."I'll be back in a while. My situation in the Lanes is kind of awkward right now. After hearing what you've said, I don't think it's time for me to go back yet," Hesper said after a short while of contemplation. "Renee, I want you to help me look for a place to stay at Gen

Very soon, Hesper arrived at the accommodation that Renee had arranged for her. After she had organized all of the things she brought with her, she threw herself on the couch and took some rest. Renee was always capable of accomplishing the task she gave her splendidly. The apartment was located in a wonderful spot, and it was very near to the apartment she used to stay in before. Hesper was very familiar with the surroundings, so it was very easy for her to blend in.As soon as she got off the plane, Hesper found Juniper's wedding invitation in her mailbox.Juniper and Carter's wedding was going to be held that Saturday. Hesper had not had no time to investigate their situation carefully before. In any case, from Carter's profile, she found it difficult to believe he would be tied down by Juniper and marriage.With that thought in mind, Hesper logged on to her social account that she had not accessed since she took a glance at it last time.As expected, there were many messages;

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
