"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

"So perhaps you’re needed at the hospital now."——When Hesper arrived at the hospital, Rickard was already there, talking to the doctor about something.As soon as Benji saw Hesper, he winked at her. Hesper frowned and walked over, hearing Rickard ask the doctor about Renfrew’s bone marrow transplantation procedure."About this... You and Renfrew were actually a perfect match, but your current physical condition won’t allow you to bear the intensity of this operation." The doctor naturally knew that the person standing in front of him was Rickard, so he adjusted his glasses a few times out of anxiety, thinking about how to explain the situation to him."The extraction of the bone marrow isn’t as simple as you think. It’ll cause a certain degree of harm to the wellbeing of the donor...""That’s enough." Hesper interrupted the doctor’s hesitant response. She looked at Rickard, who was standing on the side, and said calmly, "Even if you go hard on the doctor, he still won’t be able

It was as if she was the extra person present in the corridor, while Rickard and Hesper were the members of a family here...This realization caused Julie to be stunned, and she stared at the two suspiciously.She had not seen Rickard in a long time. Julie was not sure what Rickard’s feelings for Hesper were, but she had not forgotten how he was bewitched by Hesper before.‘Have they reconciled and gotten back together?’Hesper folded her arms. On the other side of the vexatious woman, as soon as she saw someone she knew, the nurse hurried over and reported anxiously beside Hesper, "Ms. Lane, this lady has been here many times, but Ms. Xanthos told me that you wouldn’t want her to come into the ward.""You’ve done well." The corners of Hesper’s lips twitched. "Irrelevant personnel shouldn’t be allowed to enter the ward.""What are you talking about? You shrew! The blood that’s flowing in Renfrew’s body belongs to the Duvals, so how am I an irrelevant individual?" Julie glared at

Hesper had undoubtedly been manipulating Rickard's feelings for her and using them to exact revenge. It was the most treacherous trap he had ever faced, and it proved to be a despicable yet effective form of retaliation.As he listened to the recordings, his heart raced. However, he managed to conceal his shaking hands, not wanting anyone to see his vulnerability. Seeing Hesper so vulnerable on the hospital bed reminded him of the desperate look on her face as she clung to a rag doll after falling from a building.Rickard had underestimated the depth of her hatred.Aware that he was likely the last person Hesper wanted to see, Rickard refrained from entering her room and instead shut the door."Mr. Duval?" Benji was somewhat puzzled, but Rickard did not explain and simply ordered, "Investigate what Sophia did tonight. I want all the details."Benji was taken aback and muttered something under his breath."Hmm?" Rickard frowned.Benji quickly explained, "Ms. Lane also instructe

Playing cards was just a matter of technique for Rickard, who was an expert in these things. He believed that it had nothing to do with luck, and everyone was just competing with their own skills and techniques. He even made a name for himself in one game.However, Sophia lost $45,000 in one night."Not only that, Sophia isn't the only one who has gone to this gambling den often. Even her mother, Julie, has frequented this gambling den many times," Renee said calmly. "They've probably contributed a lot of money to that gambling den."Hesper wondered how Renee managed to obtain so much information. She knew that gambling was illegal in Halwanest, so those in this business were bound to be very cautious.Renee looked awkward but cleared her throat and explained. "The owner of this gambling den had some dealings with the Lanes in the past. I just sent a message to Mr. Lane, and they quickly provided us with detailed information, which was even more detailed than surveillance footage."

Neither of them knew what it meant to spend wisely. Whenever they ran out of money, they would just withdraw from the family account. They did not know how to save money at all. In their minds, as long as Rickard and Ernest were still alive, the Duvals would always be an inexhaustible gold mine.They had spent nearly $45,000 a night, so one could imagine how much they had lost in the past month.*Sophia grumbled to herself about her bad luck and how she had lost too much money that day. She snuck into the house as usual but was taken aback to find the living room brightly lit."Welcome back." Rickard's voice echoed in her ears. He had not changed his clothes yet, and Julie was sitting on the couch with her head hung low. Sophia's heart skipped a beat, and she collapsed to the floor in fear at the sight.Julie surreptitiously watched for any signs of Rickard's emotions, but he was notoriously inscrutable. The only thing she sensed was the palpable tension that surrounded him, sugg

Julie attempted to defend herself by saying, "That's not what I meant…" But Sophia could tell from Rickard's expression that their actions had consequences. Knowing that Rickard would not let them off easily this time, Sophia felt defeated."Have you not committed enough wrongdoings in the past?" Rickard spoke in a calm tone, then turned to Benji. "Starting today, neither of them will have any authority to use the house's money. You will take care of their daily needs."Benji was taken aback and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you sure about this, Mr. Duval?" "Yes, just do as I have instructed." Sophia felt a sense of relief upon hearing the punishment. She had anticipated a harsher punishment, but they were only losing their access to the house's money. Being a Duval mistress was already enough to ensure a worry-free life, so losing a bit of money was insignificant. "I'll also arrange a marriage for Sophia soon. As for you, mother, after Sophia's wedding, you will r

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
