Renee grasped Hesper's arm tightly, but Hesper remained remarkably composed.If Renfrew had come out on his own, he would have certainly gone to the company to search for her or Rickard. However, since he was not found in either location, there was only one possibility.Someone took him away. But who would target Renfrew in Genecity?Hesper attempted to sift through her memories, but a multitude of people flashed through her mind. Over the years, both she and Rickard had not exercised much restraint in their actions, making it possible for numerous individuals to target Renfrew, especially during such a tumultuous period.These thoughts led Hesper to blame herself. Why hadn't she detected Renfrew's abnormal behavior earlier? Why hadn't she recognized the danger that surrounded her in Genecity? How could she have allowed Renfrew to stay home alone?"Don't worry, Ma'am. I'll go call Benji now." Renee comforted her and then went to contact Benji, asking him to dispatch his men to loo

"Have you been sleeping well during my absence? I mean, will you be able to sleep well tonight?""Give Renfrew back to me," Hesper said, her voice icy. "Don't force me to do something irrational to you."Upon hearing Hesper's words, 013 let out a soft chuckle, his voice sounding flirtatious. "What irrational thing do you want to do to me, Ms. Rivera?"He deliberately emphasized the three words "irrational thing." There was a playful tone to the edge of his voice that would make others think of something else. However, Hesper was not in the mood to joke around with him. She asked him about Renfrew's whereabouts, her voice thick with impatience. "Don't force me."013's voice was tinged with pleasure. He knew Hesper must be very anxious right now and deliberately teased her with a playful laugh."Is Renfrew with you?" Hesper clenched her fists at 013's voice. "If you have a problem, just come to me. Don't touch my Renfrew. I'm telling you, if you dare to lay your hands on Renfrew,

"If I were you, I'd stop wasting my energy." The dashboard lowered, and Juniper looked at Carter in surprise.Carter typically wore suits that made him look charming, which was one of the reasons why Juniper was initially attracted to him. However, he was now dressed entirely in black, causing him to almost disappear into the darkness. Juniper couldn't help but feel that this change in appearance had somehow altered Carter's personality, making him seem like a completely different person despite having the same appearance."Carter?" Juniper could not remember what she was doing before she passed out. It took her a while before she came to her senses. "Where is Renfrew? I just caught him before I passed out. Where did you take him?"A smile appeared on the corner of Carter's lips. "I thought I had no more use for you, but unexpectedly, you got Renfrew in your hands before your time to die. You really helped us a lot.""Before my time to die?" Juniper's heart trembled. Only now did s

Juniper had exhausted all her strength after she had finished everything. She sat on the leather seat and gasped for air.At the moment, Renfrew was their only chance if they both wanted to survive. When the realization hit Juniper, she could not help but laugh at herself. If Renfrew did not wake up when they arrived at their destination, Carter would discover the phone and they'd be done for.Juniper laughed silently with tears streaming down her face.It was quite ironic that despite her cunning and belief that she could outmaneuver anyone, her survival now hinged on a young child who had not even fully developed his teeth yet. The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous she found it to be.*Amidst everyone's watchful eyes, Hesper abruptly ended her phone call and sped off towards the apartment where Rickard resided."Hesper, please tell us what's going on. We can only help you if we know," Nathaniel implored from the passenger seat, observing Hesper's abnormal behavior

While Hesper appreciated Nathaniel's compliment about her son, her main concern was still to safely rescue Renfrew. Turning to him, she expressed her gratitude, saying, "We should head back now... I'm grateful for your intervention, Nate. If you hadn't stopped me earlier, things might have taken a turn for the worse."Nathaniel appeared to pause briefly before flashing Hesper a gentle smile. "Don't mention it. This is what I should do."After returning, Hesper followed the location and found an abandoned factory near the target point that looked the most suspicious. It was situated by a river in Genecity.The place used to be an industrial zone, but due to urban redevelopment, most factories had been relocated to farther areas from the city, resulting in low human traffic in the vicinity."This should be the place," Hesper said as she pointed at the factory. After that, she turned to Nathaniel and Renee. "To avoid them realizing that their location has been exposed, let's leave ear

Juniper and Renfrew were tied up back to back, so Juniper could not see Renfrew's expression. His eyes were a little droopy, and he looked as if he had no idea why he was there.Juniper was filled with despair when she heard what 013 said. Once Carter found her phone in Renfrew's possession, they would know that she had betrayed them and it would be over for her.The conversation between 013 and Carter earlier made it abundantly clear that she was nothing but a burden to them, and in the event that they found her phone in Renfrew's hands, they would kill her without any hesitation.Juniper closed her eyes as though she had accepted her imminent demise. At that moment, she felt like she was already dead. "I've already searched through them," Carter grumbled from behind. "Unlike Riley, I'm reliable. The Wilsons' acquisition failure was unexpected. You have to acknowledge that Hesper was a wild card in this game, don't you think?"At this moment, Juniper felt like a beached fish tha

Even though they covered Renfrew's head, he could still hear their conversation. Not only that, but he also had a good sense of direction, so he knew that they were going downstream.As he followed after them, he hoped that he could find the phone that he had thrown away.With that thought in mind, Renfrew did not struggle and allowed Carter to carry him. Although Carter sensed that Renfrew was exceptionally quiet and well-behaved, he felt something was off. However, he soon shrugged off the feelings since Renfrew did not have anything on him at the moment.*After arriving at the factory according to the GPS, Hesper and Renee rushed in but found it in disarray. Apparently, the kidnapper had just left with Renfrew. "How did they know we were coming? We were so close!" Hesper exclaimed. However, they were racing against time. "This area is sparsely populated, so they can't have gone far. You go upstream to search while I'll go downstream to meet with Nathaniel. Let's message eac

Carter and 013 simultaneously directed their gazes towards the man, displaying a hint of surprise. Yet, the man's countenance remained devoid of any emotion as he advanced a step, with the turbulent river right beneath Renfrew's feet. Renfrew was completely unconscious; even if he was aware, he wouldn't have a chance of survival in the swift water. "Perhaps this isn't a wise idea," Carter said, hesitation laced thick in his voice. "Renfrew is the child of Rickard and Hesper. If he dies, it would be challenging to justify to both the Duvals and the Lanes." "What have I got to do with it?" the man responded casually, lifting his head. "Explaining is your responsibility…" His voice trailed off. "Big T?" 013 and Carter looked towards the man, who had suddenly stopped moving. They both had a premonition of impending doom. As they turned around, they saw Hesper standing nearby, observing them intently from across the riverbank. Both sides were carrying lights, and the distance betw

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
