"Okay, go then."This was not Hesper’s first visit to Arthur’s room. Hesper thought of the moments she shared with Arthur back then and felt that fate really had its own way of playing with people.After all, familial affection was something she thought she didn't deserve, and she had always reminded herself that, sooner or later, she would have to return everything that she owed to someone else.Thinking of this, Hesper suddenly hesitated to open the door, but she still made up her mind and knocked on the door."Is that Hesper? Come in."Hesper was a little surprised. Hearing Arthur’s voice, it seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time. Without much hesitation, Hesper quietly opened the door and walked in after obtaining Arthur’s permission."You’ve lost a lot of weight." Arthur was laying on his bed. He took a closer look at Hesper and then sighed. "Life must be very difficult out there. You look much thinner than you did a year ago. You’re now almost as thin as y

Seeing Hesper’s expression, Howard knew that Hesper was still a little angry. He looked around again to make sure there was no one else then said in a low voice, "In fact, everyone received some form of favors from you back then, Ms. Lane. That’s why all of us treated you like we would our own juniors... However, Ms. Rachael told us not to be too hospitable to you whenever we see you."Yesterday, I was getting ready to drive to the airport to pick you up, but Ms. Rachael suddenly called me and asked me to come to the downtown shopping mall to help her buy something. This kind of errand has always been done by other servants, not me."Howard did not elaborate more; he had already told Hesper all she needed to know. She naturally connected all the dots.Hesper already knew that Rachael did not like her, but she did not expect her to be such a two-faced and cunning person.‘If I hadn't run into Mr. Lindberg today, I don’t know how much longer this misunderstanding would last.’Howard

It was expected that Rachael would make Hesper the target of her frustrations. After all, even before Hesper came back, Rachael had shown her resistance to Hesper on many occasions. Fortunately, Hesper probably would not meet Rachael too often."I’ll never let her affect you again," Matthew promised. "...You should also understand that she just came back not long ago, and she’s not as competent as you in all aspects of life, so it’s rather natural for her to be a little more sensitive when you’re mentioned."Hesper did not say much about that.‘The relationship between me and Rachael is indeed sensitive. Although I don’t usually go around offending others, she always makes the first move and comes at me first. I’ve been showing her a lot of patience out of guilt, but from now on, I’ll show her no mercy.’The two finished their breakfast in silence and then went to Arthur’s study one after the other."You’re here." Arthur was already fully dressed. He turned his head when he heard

If it weren't for Rachael, Benjamin would never have left, let alone chosen to become a deserter."By the time Benjamin came back alone with Rachael, Simon had already left home, and Idris Tucker and Lucille Chevalier had already been buried, leaving behind their only child, Nathaniel."Compared to Matthew, who was suffering from an emotional breakdown at the moment, Hesper was much calmer, so she quickly caught the keyword that came out of Arthur’s mouth. "Alone?"Arthur nodded and sighed. "No one knows where Matthew’s mother is now, but Benjamin had been looking rather depressed since he came back with Rachael. He later died in a shipwreck abroad. Everyone went on to claim that he died for love."This was completely different from the version that Matthew had been hearing since he was a child. In his heart, his father died on a mission and was named a hero. But now he was being told by Arthur that his father was not only a deserter but also a murderer who had caused many deaths.

Rachael’s timid voice came from the front. Hesper and Matthew raised their heads as if they had just been dragged back into reality, only to realize that Rachael was standing in front of them. They had no idea how long she had been standing there.Hesper took a few steps backward, leaving space for the two of them to chat. From what she had learned about Rachael these past two days, Rachael probably wouldn't like her staying there. But just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Rachael."Hesper, I want to apologize to you in front of Matthew."Hesper froze in place and turned her head.Rachael’s voice was not too soft, so the servants around them all looked over after hearing the sentence.Helen just so happened to come out of her room at this moment, just in time to see the three of them in the corridor. She walked over."What are you three talking about in the corridor?"When Helen walked over, Hesper knew that she could no longer play dumb and escape this conversation

$15 million was not a very huge number to Lane Holdings as a company, but Hesper would lose a project that had been initiated out of thin air, and that would be coupled with a loss that cost $15 million.Just thinking about it, Hesper felt that she had been played by Rickard and Rachael."It’s just $15 million, isn’t it? Just pay him the money and shut him up." Matthew’s creased brows were still tightly furrowed, and his tone sounded particularly decisive. "I don’t want you to stay connected to him in any form. You should know best that you’ve lost your judgment and rationale more than once in the past because of him. All the ongoing entanglements, debts, and repayments—as long as you two are still involved in any of the above, problems will surely emerge sooner or later."Hesper definitely knew this. The more time passed, the more new memories she and Rickard created, lowering her hatred for him. What hurt her the most now was that she could neither hate Rickard nor fall in love wi

"There are so many employees at Lane Holdings who are still waiting for me to save their jobs. I can’t selfishly leave them alone in Genecity only for my own safety’s sake." Hesper refused to admit her cowardice and failure. The chaos in Genecity was only momentary and would eventually pass, so she would not lose to it.It could be seen that Hesper’s mind had been made up. Matthew also knew that Hesper had always been strong and emotional, so he could only nod and agree with her."Okay, you do you."...After returning to Genecity again, Hesper’s emotions eased a lot. In fact, she had always been thinking about what Arthur thought of her after the revelation of her real identity, as Arthur felt like a real relative to her.However, Arthur’s attitude towards her was still the same as before, so besides rejoicing, Hesper still could not help but feel even more guilty.‘Everything is still the same as before. I’m still borrowing the identity of Grandpa’s granddaughter; that’s the on

Hearing this, Tristan panicked for a moment and quickly said, "Ms. Lane, what you just said is not necessarily true. You see, we’ve worked together for so long, and we know each other’s companies quite well. This isn’t something other companies can offer.""Oh?" Hesper leaned back into her chair nonchalantly. "In the past, I really thought I knew you very well, Mr. Weber, but I didn’t expect you to love bullying the weak and fearing the strong."What Hesper hated the most in her life were deception and betrayal. What Tristan did to her last time in order to curry favor with Rachael had already crossed the line.It was true that what Tristan said was not wrong. Among all the other manufacturers, the quality and price that others could offer might indeed be better than Tristan’s, but the time needed for another company to break in with Lane Holdings was also something that the company needed to take into consideration.Now that Lane Holdings was still treading on thin ice, it would i

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
