Rickard's gaze changed and he lost the usual calmness. "You do remember me. Why are you so standoffish then? Do you remember the past?"Seeing how Rickard reacted to her words, Hesper's mouth curved into a smile. "It's evident that I don't remember. I don't want to remember you either… It looks like our past wasn't all sunshine and butterflies, so if I did you wrong, you could take the chance to forget about me."Hestia pointed at her heart, with her fair finger resting on her red dress, making it stand out. "However, my heart tells me it's the other way around."Rickard frowned as Hestia stood, looked down at him, and nodded courteously. "Even though I'm a tourist here, I'll pay extra attention to the partnership with Duval Group. That way we both can feel confident. I'm afraid I'll be bothering you."She then turned and left Rickard watching her as he balled up his fist. "How did it go, Mr. Duval?" Benji walked over when he saw Hestia walking away. "What did Ms. Lane say to you

Even though none of that affected Duval Group and Lane Holdings, Nathaniel's excessive money grabbing would eventually get to them…He was coming after the Lanes from the beginning. Even though Rickard didn't know if Nathaniel really loved Hesper, what he could foresee was how chaotic it would be when he met her again. Hestia met Rickard's eyes from afar, then politely raised her wine glass. Rickard suddenly realized that Hesper was drinking. ***When Matthew got there, he saw Hesper before he saw Rickard. Maybe the red was very eye-catching, but Matthew's eyes immediately went to her. He took two steps closer to her. "Hesper…"Hestia seemed to have heard. She turned around and looked over. Her eyes glanced over at Matthew but didn't stop there. Matthew's heart sank but still walked over and grabbed her wrist. "Hesper, don't you remember me?"Hestia looked at this unfamiliar man and whistled in her head. Her pre-memory loss self seemed to have a lot of luck with love.

Even though Hestia felt sorry, she couldn't remember anything related to Mr. Lane. Even though she was sure the man wasn't lying, she didn't feel anything. To her, anything before her memory loss felt so far away as though it was a different life. Hestia was happy with who she currently was, so if she didn't bump into these 'people from the past', she wouldn't want to know who she was before. Hestia suddenly regretted coming to Halwanest. She hid her trip from her parents. If they knew she caused trouble here, she was going to be locked up. She pouted then tapped her chin. Among all the people there, why did she only react to Rickard? Did she use to be in love with that man? "Hesper…" Saying the name out loud, Hestia felt that it sounded unfamiliar as if she was calling a stranger's name. "Now that I know the name, it should be easier for me to dig for more information."***When Sylvie got a call from Hestia, her heart almost burst out from her chest. "You're in trouble,

"Are you going to see Mr. Duval? He's currently in a meeting but you can wait for him upstairs." The receptionist gave her access to the elevator. She took a look and was surprised. This person seemed to know her relationship with Rickard, so they weren't secret lovers. "Can I ask you a question?" Hestia suddenly leaned closer. That was the first time the receptionist saw her face at such a close distance. It was also the first time she realized how beautiful she was. Hestia was in a bright red outfit that day. The color wouldn't look nice on most people, but it suited her perfectly. It was as though this bright red was the only color that could match her personality. She didn't have a lot of jewelry on and only wore simple makeup, yet she looked like a beautiful painting. The receptionist blushed. Hestia realized she was too close, so she backed away a little and the receptionist pressed her lips together. "You can call me Ginny. What was your question? I swear I'll tell you

Benji was observing Hesper. She seemed to realize that her face was the all-access pass around the Duval Group office building, so she managed to get to Rickard’s room. Rickard’s office had a digital lock. Benji saw her hit a few buttons and easily get in. Rickard looked in the direction Benji was pointing at and saw Hesper sitting on the couch in his office. He was surprised. She had a bone to pick every time she was there but silently sitting there was something only the Hesper who had lost her memory would do. Rickard walked over. Hestia heard him walking and looked up, then stood up and said, “I don’t know how I opened the door. I just randomly tapped on a few numbers… I guess it was a memory from my past.”The passcode for the office was Renfrew’s birthday. Rickard never changed it. Other than him and Benji, Hesper guessed it when she temporarily took over Duval Group. “How can I help you, Ms. Deschamps?”Hestia was a little surprised because she thought Rickard would ke

Matthew didn’t seem surprised. Hestia preferred getting straight to the point, so she immediately replied. “Are you in Genecity? I think we should meet and talk about this.”“You’re right.” From her calm tone, Matthew could tell that this sudden revelation was just another problem she had to solve and nothing important to her. After confirming the time and place, Matthew hung up and sighed. He didn’t expect the Hesper who grew up happy to be be so difficult. When Hestia arrived on time, she saw that Matthew was already there. “You’re very early.” Hestia raised her brows and sat down. She looked at her favorite coffee in front of her and could tell that they had a good relationship. However, ‘Hesper Rivera’ was too mysterious, so Hestia couldn’t figure everything out. “You might be curious about your past, but all I can tell you is about your family.” Matthew smiled sadly and continued. “Half a year ago, when the incident happened, I didn’t get to tell you about your real ide
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 638
That past didn’t sound too bad. After saying goodbye to Matthew, Hestia didn’t immediately go home. Instead, she walked around Genecity. It was a foreign place to her so it was hard to imagine that she had a lot of memories there. When she walked into a mall owned by Duval Group, she saw people crowding together but she couldn’t see what they were doing. Hestia walked over curiously and realized a girl was lying on the floor, grasping at her heart with pale skin and purple lips. She looked like she was in a lot of pain. “Give her some space.” Hesper pushed the crowd away and turned to ask, “Have you called for an ambulance?”“Yes.” A girl raised her phone. Hestia nodded. The girl looked like she was going through a heart attack, so she performed some basic first aid.Fortunately, when she tried to sift through the knowledge in her mind in the past half a year and realized that she didn’t know much about first aid, she decided to learn. She really was brilliant because she learn

She didn't have to wait very long before Myriade's brother showed up. Hestia looked at the handsome man in front of her and was amazed at her luck of seeing so many good-looking people recently. "Are you Myriade's brother? The doctor is waiting for you. She seems to be stable now, so you don't have to be too worried.""Ms. Deschamps?" Nathaniel looked at this woman who seemed to have no memories of him and went under a different name. He smiled and moved his glasses. "Thank you. Can I have your number, please? We can have dinner with Myriade when she's better.""There's no need. It was nothing." Hestia nodded at him. "I'll be on my way now.""Wait…" Nathaniel walked over and his eyes softened. "I don't like to owe anything to anyone. Could I please have your number? Myriade is my only sibling. If anything happened to her, I don't know what I'd do."Hestia finally nodded. "Alright then."They exchanged numbers. Nathaniel had more to say, but Hestia picked up Sylvie's call and nod

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
