But no matter what, it now seemed that the wedding was already on the verge of completion. When Rickard thought of this, even though he knew that it was just a role-playing facade, he still felt a little bitter about it.Apart from Rickard, the other person who could not accept the wedding the most was Renfrew."Young Master Renfrew’s condition has improved, but..." The doctor shook his head.Rickard had already guessed the result, so he calmly nodded and asked Benji to send the doctor off.After returning to the Duval residence, Benji’s expression looked slightly annoyed. His gaze swept across the room and landed on Renfrew, who had curled himself up in a corner and showed almost no inclination of communicating with others. Benji looked back at Rickard."I didn’t think Hestia couldn't even tolerate Young Master Renfrew. She clearly knows about the young master’s condition, yet she couldn’t be bothered to lie to him."Benji was so angry that he did not even address Hestia as Ms.

"Sorry, I need to take this call," Hestia said, grateful for the timely interruption. However, as she answered the phone, her smile quickly faded, and she furrowed her brows. "What? I'll head back now."Hestia hung up the call and turned around to Nathaniel. "Something happened to Jessie. I need to get back now, so I'm afraid I can't keep you company anymore.""Don't worry," Nathaniel replied with a sigh, watching Hestia's receding figure until she disappeared from sight. As petals slowly drifted down from the sky, he caught one in his hand and then fell silent.*Hestia had predicted that Zikmund would quickly discover that Jessie was with her, but she never imagined that he would brazenly bring people to surround Jessie. When she returned, Zikmund was already waiting for her."Ms. Rivera," Zikmund said, as though he had anticipated her arrival. "This is a private matter between Jess and me. I hope you won't interfere.""Jess?" Hestia sneered, scrutinizing Zikmund before her. "I

Hestia did not know what Jessie and Zikmund were talking about, but she still decided to text Rickard and ask him to take Zikmund away.After all, Zikmund was a burden to Jessie now. Besides, Hestia did not want to waste her time on Zikmund, so calling Rickard was the most efficient way to deal with the situation.She assumed that the contract that Zikmund talked about was the contract that he signed with Jessie when both of them decided to fake their marriage. Hestia did not really care about the contract. After all, any contract could be resolved with money, and the last thing Hestia lacked was money. Jessie did not know that Hestia had planned everything for her as she was still confronting Zikmund. Zikmund wanted to explain himself, but he struggled to find the right words"I don't trust you staying here with Hestia. Do you even know what kind of family the Deschamps are?" Zikmund asked as he glanced warily at Hestia. "Do you really think that the current Hestia is the same as

Zikmund fell silent as what Rickard said was too much for him to take in. Rickard did not make any comment anymore and just let him calm down on his own."Besides, our investigation of the Deschamps hasn't come up empty-handed. It's highly possible that during the time when Tina was in Fredonia, she had some contact with them. Be prepared for that," Rickard said, dropping another bombshell on Zikmund and causing him to look at Rickard directly.Rickard continued, "As Hestia and Nathaniel's wedding approaches this weekend, I have a feeling that there will be some significant events taking place. So, for now, let's set aside your matters with Jessie and focus on being prepared for what's to come."Zikmund fell silent. If Rickard had not mentioned the word "wedding" through gritted teeth, he would have believed in him. However, Rickard was right. It was clear that Nathaniel had a desire to align with the Deschamps. Previously, the Tuckers had been unable to cause any harm to the La

'Did she run away from the wedding?' That was the first thought that came into Jessie's head. She quickly turned around and closed the door. Even though she had not expected Hestia to do something like this, Jessie's first reaction was to cover for her.Jessie guessed that Hestia had not been gone for long. If she was caught now, it was highly likely that she would be brought back, and that was something she did not want to happen.Someone knocked on the door, and Jessie froze. She forced herself to calm down and asked, "Who is it?" She walked up to the door and the person said, "There are several new sets of jewelry that just arrived. They match well with today's wedding dress. Mr. Tucker wants to bring them for Ms. Deschamps to pick out if she likes any."Hearing this, Jessie breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over and opened the door slightly. "Just give them to me. Hessy said she was a bit tired and wanted to rest for a while."The attendant did not doubt her and hande

Hestia pondered about the identity of the person she would find here. Was it Skylar or Azariah? She also wondered how Myriade came across this information. Following the location, Hestia parked her car in front of a white bungalow. The bungalow looked dilapidated, and the walls seemed like they could collapse at any moment.Hestia got out of the car, frowned, and approached the door to knock."Who is it?"A somewhat haggard voice came from inside, but it had a familiar and firm feel to it. Following her intuition, Hestia directly said her name, "It's Hestia."The sound of dragging shoes could be heard from inside, and then the door opened. Professor Miles looked a little surprised to see Hesper suddenly appear in front of him. He glanced behind her, confirmed that no one had followed her, and then opened the door to let her in."How did you find this place?"Hestia felt that she knew the man in front of her, but she could not remember his name. She lowered her gaze. Although th

"Wait!" Jessie shouted out and rushed forward to close the door."What's the matter?" the person asked, his voice thick with confusion. Even though she had known they would be busted sooner or later, she was still fraught with anxiety and fear when it happened.She took a deep breath and opened the door. However, she only opened the door slightly so that people could not see what was inside.Meeting Nathaniel's puzzled gaze, Jessie cleared her throat and said, "Don't you know that the newlyweds can't see each other before the wedding?"Nathaniel indeed had heard about such a saying before, so he nodded hesitantly and said, "Thank you for reminding me."Jessie did not expect Nathaniel to believe in her so easily. She breathed a sigh of relief inwardly."But can I say a few words to Hessy?" Making sure that there was no one else outside, Nathaniel said, "I'll be standing here. Is Hessy resting inside?" Jesslie turned her head around. Fortunately, she had pulled the curtain earl

Hestia did not really want to satisfy Jessie's curiosity as she listened to her incessant chatter. She had learned a lot of things when she was staying with the Deschamps, but those were too far away from Jessie, so she just gave some vague answers. Jessie's brain spun rapidly and changed to another topic quickly. "Why did you suddenly leave? You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were going to run away from the wedding."A smile appeared on Hestia's lips as she said, "Of course, I have other more important stuff to handle."Twenty minutes ago, Hestia detected that the person in front of her had used some sort of drug on her. Luckily, she anticipated potential risks and had taken an antidote beforehand. Although the old man's words were vague and she knew that they would leave the area after that day, Hestia still gained a plethora of valuable information. For example, these two people were related to Hesper. Each piece of information seemed to hint that her journey to th

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
