"We’ll stay in the hospital."Not surprisingly, Hesper emerged as the winner of the bet. Carter agreed as he imagined what 013 would do when he found out about this.‘He’ll come over and quarrel with Nathaniel again.’Carter could not help but feel a little stressed as soon as he thought of the scene when Nathaniel and 013 saw each other after this.But no matter what, Hesper’s goal had been achieved, and Carter’s admiration toward her just kept on growing.‘This woman is making a fool out of the whole organization. And that includes Nathaniel, who’s always been known for his relentlessness.’...On the other side of the city, Rickard and Matthew naturally failed to find Hesper at the manor, but because Nathaniel had no time to deal with the servants and Carter was in the hospital with him, Rickard easily apprehended one of the servants."Was a woman imprisoned here before?"Listening to the unfamiliar language, the servant waved her hand, trying to indicate that she did not u

Nathaniel’s words caused Rickard and Matthew to frown at the same time."Isn’t 013 one of your underlings? So why would he take Hesper away?" Rickard did not leave immediately but questioned him instead. "You can’t even manage your own men?"Knowing that Rickard would not trust him so easily, Nathaniel pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth. "You don’t have to believe me, but Hesper doesn’t have much time left… 013 is a personality that was born from a series of psychological suggestions, and you expect him to be loyal?""Let’s go and save Hesper first."Matthew grabbed Nathaniel from Rickard, and his expression became a little complicated, as this was his first time meeting him after knowing about Nathaniel’s true identity.In his impression, Nathaniel had always been like a younger brother who needed to be taken care of, an all-knowing and omnipotent friend, and a gentle and courteous man. Matthew had never suspected that such a person would lie in ambush by his side fo

Hesper's heart sank hearing what 013 said, but she still let out a chuckle. "I admire your confidence, but this isn't the first time you've tried to kill me."013 was not provoked by her. He offered Hesper a smile and said, "Don't worry, no one will save you this time. I've even arranged for someone else to witness your death. She probably wants you dead more than I do."'Someone else?'Hesper frowned and understanding soon dawned upon her."Juniper."Hesper's heart sank to the pit of her stomach as soon as the name spilled out of her lips. She did not have the confidence to escape from 013 alone, and now with Juniper in the mix, her escape was even less likely."When the time comes, all I need to do is kill you first, then I'll kill Juniper. After that, I'll make it look like she killed you before committing suicide. Then I can retire in peace," 013 said, his voice thick with delight. As he was humming, he muttered, "Seth cannot kill someone… He's in college and has a bright

"You big liar!" Juniper shouted hysterically and stepped forward to grab Hesper's neck. "You took everything from me! They were mine! You took away my happiness! It's all because of you!"Hesper was choked and struggling to breathe. However, she still enunciated her words slowly, "If you kill me, you won't be able to live either.""You dare to threaten me?" Juniper hissed, yet her grip loosened slightly.Hesper stifled a cough and continued, "Have you ever thought about why 013 wanted to kill me and you? I don't have any weapons. For him, killing me is as easy as killing a chicken."013 stood on the side, watching the confrontation between the two indifferently and silently."If you kill me, he'll kill you and make you his scapegoat."Juniper looked toward 013 after hearing what Hesper said, but 013 did not show any inclination of explaining to her. After all, if Juniper could not do it herself, he could always take care of it and kill both her and Hesper.As Hesper had said, ki

Tears were flowing from Juniper's eyes, but she did not loosen her grip on Hesper. She held her even tighter, forcing her to back away from the gate. "Hesper!" Rickard delivered a forceful blow to 013's chest, causing the latter to feel multiple rib fractures and rendering him unable to rise from the ground despite his efforts. The gate was closed. Rickard punched on the gate but to no avail. Juniper's voice quivered with sobs as she spoke, "Even if my mother didn't betray me, what difference does it make? I can't continue to live like this." The madness in her tone sent chills down Hesper's spine. "Just look at me. I'm a monster now. Nobody will ever accept me. Will you marry me, Rickard?" Rickard, unable to see the situation inside through the iron gate, could infer Hesper's situation. Juniper had completely lost her mind and reasoning with her was futile. He decided to calm her down first."I'll marry you if you come out."Juniper laughed at Rickard's words, but her laug

Despite it being broad daylight, Hesper felt as if she had seen a ghost."Hesper, I didn't know what love was in the past and I owe you a lot. So now it's time for me to love you." Rickard's voice slowly wafted into her ears across the gate. Rather than saying that he was confessing to her, it was more appropriate to say he was giving his last words."Ever since I was born, I've lived to become a qualified heir for the Duvals. I know you have many things you want to do and people you want to see. In my eyes, your life is more valuable to me than my own.""You don't know what love is?" Juniper interrupted, her voice was trembling. "Then what about me? What am I to you, Rickard?" Rickard paused briefly before replying in a detached tone, "Do you really not understand why we started dating? Who was it that sent flowers to my father's grave every month? And who was it that carried me out of the cemetery in the rain when I collapsed in front of my father's grave?"Hesper's eyes widene
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 625
After saying these words, Hesper tightly covered her mouth with both hands, trying to suppress the sobs that she did not want Rickard to hear.Rickard remained silent for a long time, his mind becoming dizzy as he lost blood."I won't believe what you say anymore." Upon hearing this, Hesper's tearful eyes finally curved up as she nodded in agreement in her heart. 'Leave quickly. Get out of here... Don't die for me.'However, in the next moment, Rickard sat down against the door. He was now only a door away from Hesper as he continued. "I've figured it out. You want to anger me and make me leave... Hesper, I think I finally understand what you mean. So, can I love you now?"Hesper could not hold back anymore and burst into tears, hugging her arms.Juniper let out a laugh, her voice drowning out all other sounds. She took a few steps back, and her eyes turned bloodshot. "I've become the final obstacle in breaking up two lovers? I feel so honored. Both of you are willing to sacri

Nathaniel walked a few steps forward, his face pale. He grabbed 013's collar and dragged him up from the ground."Where is Hesper? Where is she?!" he shouted."She's dead," 013 replied, grinning proudly like a kid. "It wasn't me who did it. It was Juniper."Nathaniel punched 013, sending him to the ground before turning around and looking at the raging fire in a daze. It was not hard to imagine what happened there, so had Hesper really died?Despite having experienced numerous deaths throughout his life and being well-acquainted with the pain of separation from loved ones since childhood, he had never felt as disoriented as he did at this moment. Additionally, he had been responsible for causing the deaths of many people, but it was only now that he felt truly adrift."Hesper is dead. It's useless for us to stay here."013's voice rang out beside Nathaniel's ear. "Now Matthew and his men are busy putting out the fire, so we still have a chance to run away. Think about your parent

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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
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
