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

Rachael wouldn't be managing the company's affairs at this hour. The receptionist just wanted to hide, but hearing the busy tone on the phone, all she could do was smile awkwardly at Hestia. "I'm sorry, she's not picking up."Hestia didn't say anything but someone walked out from inside the office."Maisie, what's going on?"Celine heard people talking outside and walked out to check, but when she looked up, she saw two pairs of familiar eyes and wanted to immediately turn and run. "Celine Campbell!"Jessie called out to her when she saw she was trying to run. "Why are you running? Didn't you happily take Hesper's things from her? Now you see that she's back, and you're running away scared?"Celine stood on the spot and didn't dare look at Jessie. She turned to Hesper but realized there was no disappointment or sadness in her eyes. She looked like a stranger to her. Hestia noticed Celine and nodded. "I'm sorry, I've lost part of my memory half a year ago, so I don't remember
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 665
The relationships were complicated. Hestia gave up on sounding nice and just stood there while Jessie spoke. Finally, Jessie was tired. Kenji opened a bottle of water and handed it to her. Jessie took two gulps and watched while Celine's head hung lower. "I'm so sorry, I've wronged you.""There's no point saying that now."Hestia held Jessie by her shoulder which made her take a step back, giving Hestia more space to perform. "I know you've been sending money to someone every month. Do you think I don't know who the money was going to?" Hestia sat down on the couch and calmly said, "I just don't understand how you met her and why you would give her money."Celine was sure Hesper knew who she was wiring the money to, so she immediately felt guiltier. "If memory serves me right, you have a missing sister."Hestia wasn't very sure when she said that, but it was too much of a coincidence and the few sentences in the report covering this part didn't prove anything. However, Ce

Rachael walked into her office and carefully closed her door. Celine was balled up in the corner and didn't dare look at her, so Rachael knew her identity was exposed. "There's no need to look at her, I guessed it." Hesper calmly sat on the chair. "Do you think it's hard to guess? You can fake a DNA test, but you can't be the real deal."Rachael guiltily took a step back after hearing that but was still stubborn. "...what proof do you have? I'm part of the Lane family now and you're just a child born out of wedlock. How dare you question me."Hestia had the DNA test results between her and Matthew, but Matthew never exposed Rachael's identity, so he must have had his reasons. Nonetheless, Hestia believed that Matthew wouldn't lie to her because, in the files, Matthew protected her even though he just picked her up from a random place, but he was never close to Rachael. Hestia didn't immediately speak and that made Rachael's heart drop. At first, she thought her identity was u

Kenji paused. This was part of why he was there. Rickard getting involved in Lane family matters wasn't a good idea, but Kenji agreed. Even if they became enemies with Rachael Lane, if he didn't agree, he would have angered Hestia and the Deschamps.Kenji couldn't care less about Rachael Lane, but he still felt annoyed that his hand was forced. "What's wrong? You don't have enough authority to decide this?"Hestia crossed her legs and looked at Kenji with a smile. He cleared his throat and looked at Rachael. "Please hand the agreement to me, Ms. Lane. I'll return it to you if nothing goes wrong." Kenji looked at Rachael without expression. He was half a foot taller than Rachael and it felt intimidating. He had been around a lot, so he wouldn't be someone who was easily dealt with. Rachael shook but didn't hand out the agreement. The agreement wasn't legal, she knew that better than anyone else, so she wouldn't let others just take what belonged to Hesper. "Ms. Lane, give

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
