"Someone bought off the factory, so there are some problems with the machines, and the ones with the biggest problem were the batch that we gave you… It's fortunate that nothing happened during this period of time."As Hesper listened to Rickard's explanation, she couldn't shake the feeling that he was alluding to something deeper. What did he mean by the batch they gave her having the biggest problem? Was someone trying to target the Duval Group and accidentally ensnared them in the process, or was Lane Holdings being attacked through their affiliation with the Duvals?Before she could voice her thoughts, Rickard interrupted, "I'm tied up at the moment. I'll contact you when I have a moment. Please investigate the Halwart Factory if you can. I suspect something is amiss with their person-in-charge."After saying this, Rickard hung up the phone. Hesper was left holding her phone, lost in thought. 'Halwart Factory? Wasn't that the same factory that fell for my bait in the business co

Sophia's cry of alarm brought Rickard out of his reverie. He let out a sigh and said, "The company is not very stable now. I'll have the driver take you home in a moment. Don't come out these days. Come back when the company's situation is resolved."However, Sophia was trembling as she scrolled down to the bottom of the news and saw the machine's serial number."What's wrong?" Rickard sensed that Sophia's emotions were off and grabbed her wrist. "Why are you making that face? Do you know about this batch of machinery?""I don't!" Sophia denied loudly. Rickard glanced at her suspiciously, but before he could question her, the phone rang.It was Julie.He furrowed his brows and answered the call. Without giving him a chance to speak, his mother's surprised and agitated voice came from the other end. "Dick, what's going on with the company all of a sudden? How could the machines cause people to die? Are people outside spreading rumors again? What's happening?"She bombarded him wit

The manager of Halwart Factory greeted them in a fawning tone over the phone, and the guard opened the door astutely. Hesper and Renee exchanged a glance before entering."Why did you call me all of a sudden, Ms. Lane? Let me guess. Is it because of the Duval Group?" The director manager of Halwart Factory, George Halwart, was a cunning man. Hesper knew it very well when she interacted with him last time. Hesper casually confirmed his guess with a relaxed tone, then continued, "I didn't expect that you would resume your cooperation with the Duvals after I left Genecity."George knew what Hesper was talking about and chuckled apologetically, "Well, I still have to pay my employees." "Hm, you're right. I'm in your factory now. Are you sure you don't want to come down and meet me?" Hesper said. "I've already seen the news about the Duvals today. It's a happy moment when a competitor of mine falls, so of course, I need to be the first one to arrive to watch the show."Hearing Hesper

Upon entering the office, Hesper immediately noticed Nathaniel seated behind the desk. Realizing that there was no way for her and Renee to escape, she calmly shut the door."It's been a while," he said. Hesper looked at Nathaniel. They were friends in the past, but she could barely recognize him now. She eyed the trembling George and smirked. "It seems like you set a trap and have been waiting for me to show up." Seeing that they were already busted, George said with a quivering voice, "Ms. Lane, it wasn't me! I didn't want to say those things either, but he has a gun!" Ignoring his excuse, Hesper sneered and said, "Really, Mr. Halwart? If you didn't give the order, would your staff produce those problematic machines? All of you are the same, so stop pretending to be innocent."After that, Hesper turned around to look at Nathaniel. "It really has been a long time since we've seen each other, but if possible, I hope we won't meet again in the future."Nathaniel couldn't help b

Nathaniel figured that he should not waste anymore time and picked George up from the floor, surprising Hesper. She never expected him to be so powerful despite having a frail appearance. "See you next time, Hesper," he said as he walked out the door. Renee quickly walked in and checked if Hesper was injured. Seeing that she seemed to be fine, she breathed a sigh of relief."Where's George?" Renee asked.Hesper shook her head and said thoughtfully, "There's no need to chase after them. We won't be able to catch up."Although she was disappointed that the evidence she had obtained was taken away, Hesper did not give up. "Let's search here first. Judging from how cunning George is, I don't think he'd leave himself without a way out.""Okay." Hesper and Renee split up to look for more evidence. However, there were no documents in the office, so Hesper turned her attention toward the laptop on the table.Renee also looked over and frowned. "I heard that Daybreak has someone who's an

When Nathaniel pushed George to the floor, Hesper noticed that something had fallen to the corner. So before she left, she went to search for it at the corner and found this USB drive.Due to its small size, Nathaniel didn't notice it and Hesper ended up with it in her hands.Excitedly, Hesper handed the USB drive to Renfrew and exclaimed, "Quick! Let's see if the files are in it.""Don't use this laptop." Renfrew closed George's laptop and said in a serious manner, "There's a chance that Myriade is still monitoring it. If the contents of the USB drive are deleted, there will be no way for you to get what you want, Mommy."Hesper quickly withdrew her hand, feeling a bit scared. She was indeed too impatient. If Renfrew had not reminded her, she might have lost the evidence in the USB drive. Hesper would not be so careless in normal times. Renee lowered her head. Although Hesper kept on insisting that she had already moved on from Rickard, her actions belied her feelings.Renee si

Rickard acted rapidly after he received the recordings from Hesper, and a statement was released by the Duval Group within half an hour. The statement claimed that the incident was a malicious act of commercial competition and that they had handed over the key evidence to the police. Additionally, they offered a remarkably high compensation to the victim's family.*As the situation began to calm down, the stock prices stabilized, and Benji finally breathed a sigh of relief. "We really owe it to Ms. Lane this time."If it weren't for Hesper's quick response and confrontation at Halwart Factory, it would have been difficult for the Duval Group to resolve the crisis so efficiently. The company's market value had already dropped significantly in just one morning, and the consequences could have been unimaginable if the situation continued.The group of reporters refused to leave, but it was no longer a problem to chase them out of the building. Benji went downstairs to get rid of the

When Rickard and Benji entered the mansion, they found Hesper and Ernest chatting happily on the couch. Meanwhile, Julie and Sophia were kneeling in front of the wall. As soon as they heard someone come in, they turned their heads towards Rickard."You're back." Ernest waved his hand at Rickard. "Come here and have a seat."Hesper ignored Rickard. Benji felt a suffocating atmosphere even from several steps away and was reluctant to approach this apparent battlefield."What are you doing here?" Rickard asked Hesper. Hesper offered him a smile and leaned against Ernest, saying, "I missed Grandpa and came home to take a look. Is there a problem?"Rickard fell silent, knowing well that Hesper was here to create trouble. However, with Ernest's fondness for her, there was little he could do. Rickard knew that one of the reasons Ernest ordered Julie and Sophia to kneel on the side was to teach them a lesson, while the other was to help Hesper get her revenge. When the realization hit

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
