The moment Vivienne showed up, the previous chaos vanished completely, and the crowd parted to make way for her as Hestia and Cheney walked on either side of her. Some of the onlookers secretly assessed Hestia since she was a new face to them.When they walked into the crowd, they discovered that no one had actually started fighting. Instead, a woman stood in the center of the crowd, holding a sharp piece of glass to her own neck."Stay away from me," the woman snarled, her gaze even sharper than the glass. The surrounding muscular men were cautious and did not dare to approach her. However, Vivienne remained unfazed and strode towards the woman."What's happening? Instead of resorting to suicide, you should use your bravery for something else," Vivienne said as she took the glass from the woman's hand. After that, she reached into her pocket, took out a dagger, and handed it to the woman."If someone tried to bully me, I'd use this dagger to defend myself and make it clear that no

Hestia had heard of the name before. As far as she could recall, Zikmund was a friend of Rickard's. However, she had not yet had the chance to meet him since returning to Genecity, so she did not know him well. When Vivienne heard the name, she scoffed. "I see. So you're going to marry Zikmund. It's hard to believe that he still has the nerve to go through with a marriage, considering what a terrible person he is. He's even worse than Carter. All of the ladies and socialites in Genecity steer clear of him as if he's a disease.""I was in contact with Zikmund way before you left, Hessy. He's a student of my mother's, and I told you about our first blind date. I don't think you remember it now, but it was definitely not a pleasant experience," Jessie sighed and continued. "At that time, I wanted to marry someone who didn't love me just to deal with my family's problems, while Zikmund needed a tool to deal with his grandfather. Therefore, we collaborated on this matter."Although Hest

Just as she expected, Cheney smiled and continued in the next second, "But I'll keep an eye on you so that you won't harm Ms. Scarlett.""Oh, please. I'm not interested in that. I just want to get the information I want," Hestia said, refusing to back down from Cheney's intimidation. Even though both of them were smiling at each other, one could sense the tense atmosphere between them."I can tell you straightforwardly that I don't have any feelings for Matthew, nor do I have any special feelings for Vivienne. As I said, this is business. You can also negotiate with me, and as long as you can name your price, I'll take it."Cheney shook her head and her hostility toward Hestia disappeared. She exuded a warm and gentle aura as she continued, "You indeed aren't Ms. Rivera from the past, Ms. Deschamps. If it were her here today, I wouldn't be so wary of you."With a sigh, she finished her sentence. Although Hestia knew she meant nothing, she could not help but dislike it. "I've lear

It was a complete family tree of the Sulzbachs, along with some miscellaneous information and rumors. It was actually more comprehensive than Hestia had imagined.While Rickard was driving, Hestia read through the information with rapt attention. In the previous generation of the Sulzbach family, there were numerous members, but only Silvan and Ehren remained in their own generation. This was due to the fact that, apart from their father who lived long enough to marry and have children, the other members of their generation either disappeared without explanation or died from various causes.Ignoring those who were clearly marked as dead, Hestia roughly examined the missing persons, and surprisingly, there were four people. Frowning and comparing their ages and times of disappearance, two of them matched the person Hestia's father had mentioned. Hestia circled two names—Azariah and Skylar, respectively. Although she had identified her targets, both of them had disappeared more t

Zoya left after she had gotten what she wanted. Looking at her back, Hestia felt that the girl's skirt looked very familiar. It was as if she had seen it somewhere before.Hestia felt a bit disoriented after the collision, and Rickard picked up on her discomfort. He stepped forward to assist her, and this time Hestia was too weak to resist, so she allowed Rickard to help her into the car."Are you feeling a headache?" Rickard asked.Hestia nodded, but she remained silent. Rickard did not ask further and simply said, "Can you still go pick up the person?"Leaving Jessie at Vivienne's place was not an option, and Jessie was quite shaken up from what happened just now. If Hestia did not go, Jessie's situation might get worse.With that thought in mind, Hestia gritted her teeth and nodded without hesitation. "Yes, we're going.""You should get a doctor to take a look at you later," Rickard responded. After he placed Hestia on the back seat, he went to the front and started the engine

"Forget it." Hestia closed the file. Resting for the night wouldn't delay her work too much. So much happened that day, even machines would be tired. Hestia gave herself a break. The nightmare that night was a huge fire. She struggled to get free but was still swallowed by the flames. ***Since she didn't sleep well the night before, she woke up groggy. Jessie woke up early, so when Hestia walked out of her room, she was already busy in the kitchen. Hestia rubbed her eyes. "Since when did you learn to cook?"They both froze after she said that. "Hesper, you remember?"Hestia shook her head. Jessie felt disappointed when she saw how lost she looked. Hestia wanted to say more to defuse the situation but saw Jessie's head hanging low. "I know, you didn't remember. You don't have to explain."Despite that, it showed that there was a chance Hesper's memory would recover. Jessie took the sunny-side-up out from the pan skillfully. She placed the plate on the table and looked at

Hestia raised her brows. Even though she didn't work on anything related to design in the past half a year, she did come across a lot of designers. Designing wasn't a simple task, so Hestia believed that Hesper was someone who would put all her effort into everything she did. However, Hestia believed in her instinct for people. Since that person was her friend, she wouldn't be someone distrustful. She might have been forced. However, no matter the reason, a betrayal is a betrayal, and it was unacceptable. She would take back all the trust and time that she put into it. Seeing how calm Hestia was, Jessie felt anxious. However, she could tell that she was taking care of herself, so she didn't say more. After watching Hestia finish the egg, she smiled. "I make more, do you want another one?"***When she walked out her door, Kenji was waiting for her with the car. "That's so cool. You have your own driver." Jessie turned around and looked at Hestia. "Isaac and Renee aren't w

[Sylvie: The person who bought the studio was Rachael Lane. From the documents I gathered, she seems to be from the Lane family. She took the place of Hesper.]Hestia raised her brows. Sylvie sent the information about Rachael Lane along with everything else too. After opening the file with Rachael's information, Hestia skimmed through it and seemed to understand when people say money brings out the worst in people. However, Rachael didn't seem to be remotely clever. Hestia didn't understand how she managed to take Hesper's place. [Hestia: Find out if Rachael Lane was in contact with anyone before returning to the Lane family.][Sylvie: Alright.]Even though she still had questions, the motive behind Rachael buying Hesper's studio was obvious. She just wanted to annoy Hesper. Rachael didn't know how to manage a company and the people under her were all useless. The studio only looked good from the outside but was in shambles internally. If it wasn't because there was a huge fi

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
