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

Julie and Sophia weren't at Genecity, but Hestia would eventually get to them… Now Rickard was there and seemed to feel guilty about Hesper, so Hestia wouldn't let the opportunity get away. Half an hour later, Benji got a call from Hestia asking to see her office by tomorrow morning. Benji knew she wasn't being friendly. He prepared an office right after she left the office, so he confidently said, "We have it ready, so you can come any time.""Oh, really?" Hestia ordered the furniture movers and raised her brows. "I want the office across from Mr. Duval's. I hope you've arranged for that one, or you'll have to make more arrangements."There were no single-room offices across from Rickard's rooms; they were all big rooms. Hestia had been there, so she had to know. Benji agreed while awkwardly chuckling. Hestia hung up happily and watched as her home was slowly decorated, then smiled. This was the bungalow next to Rickard's home that she bought at a high price. If Rickard love

Speaking of which, she was focusing on saving the young girl earlier, and she was then anxious about getting to know more about Hesper Rivera’s past. With all that on her mind, Hestia really forgot that she should be curious about the identity of the person on the other end of the call.‘It seems that this man is filthy rich, and he’s able to find out about me in such a short time, so he’s certainly not someone to be trifled with.’"My name is Nathaniel Tucker." Nathaniel paused and continued. "Ms. Deschamps, you might not have heard of me, but you should’ve heard of Daybreak, right?"Hestia liked communicating with smart people, so she raised her eyebrows when she heard Nathaniel’s introduction. "If the Daybreak that you’re referring to is the Daybreak that I know, I can only say that you, Mr. Tucker, are indeed a very remarkable man."Nathaniel chuckled. "It seems that I don’t have to waste more energy trying to introduce myself. You must have felt a lot of emotions ever since re

The next day, Hestia arrived at Duval Group on time and checked herself in.Benji was on the brink of weeping when he saw Hesper. He had been working overtime last night to get her office ready, so he would have cried out loud if Hesper didn't come in that day.Thinking of the "Ms. Lane" that he knew from before, Benji could not help but lament that Hesper was very kind back then, as the current version of her was the ultimate devilish side of her."Mr. Lynch, you don’t seem very happy to see me." Hestia smiled at Benji and curled the corners of her lips upward. "Is Mr. Duval here? I want to see the detailed proposal for the future plans... This wouldn’t be too hasty, would it?"As soon as Benji heard Hestia bring up the proposal, he began to admire Rickard’s ingenuity. As soon as Hestia left yesterday, Rickard immediately held an emergency meeting to finalize the details of the proposal in advance.Seeing Benji’s expression, Hestia instantly knew that she would not be able to fin

Benji was a little uneasy wondering what the woman would do, but until lunchtime at noon, the office was still as quiet as ever.Hearing this, Rickard stood up, went straight to Hestia’s office, and knocked on the door. After a long time without getting a response, Rickard opened the door with the company’s general password. This was Duval Group after all, and Rickard had the highest authority in the building.As a result, the door of the office was opened, but there was no one inside."How is this possible? I’ve been keeping an eye on this room!" Benji was stunned by the fact that a living person actually disappeared before him, and then turned back to look at Rickard. "Ms. Rivera didn't go out at all the whole morning."Rickard frowned, but before he could say anything, Hesper’s voice came from behind the two of them."What are you two doing in front of my office?" Hestia came over with two cups of coffee, looked at Rickard with a half-smile, then handed one of the cups to him.

Benji was already quite shocked by the fact that Hesper slipped out of her office under his nose, but he was even more surprised when Rickard suspected that Hesper might have slipped out more than once.Although he was also busy with the tasks at hand and was occasionally distracted, he still kept an eye on Hesper most of the time and never saw her going out.However, when the surveillance footage was downloaded onto a computer, Benji realized just how naïve he was.Hesper had gone out more than two or three times. As soon as his attention was shifted away from her, she would immediately seize the opportunity to get out of the office, and during this time, she had already visited the entire Duval Tower.Compared to the trip that Benji brought her along to take a rough look around the company before this, Hesper seemed to be looking into everything in Duval Group. She stopped by the reference room and archive room for quite a long time before heading back to her office.Benji was s

Myriade shook her head. "No, the Deschamps’s confidentiality mechanism is very strict, so such things will never be posted on the Internet.""When Hesper met Charles and Elise Deschamps, her appearance was completely different from how she looks now. So how could the Deschamps recognize who she is at a glance?" Nathaniel felt that there were still too many things that had not been clearly studied. However, when it came to the informant network, even if Daybreak had Myriade, they were still not as competent as the Deschamps’.After all, Myriade obtained all her information off the Internet, while the Deschamps had a network of live people doing it for them."Okay, you’re to continue to follow up on this matter, whereas I still need to work harder to persuade Hesper..." Nathaniel paused for a split second. "Although all Hesper feels for Rickard now is pure hatred, I still feel a hint of jealousy. Why does she remember only him out of everyone around her?"Myriade was silent, then fro

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
