"I told you before, didn't I? You dote on Myriade too much. Sooner or later, she'll become a sharp blade that hangs over your head," Riley said nonchalantly. "Myriade is getting smarter and smarter. Maybe she has already noticed what you did in the past."Nathaniel glanced at him and said, "If you don't know what to speak, then you probably should keep your mouth shut.""I think she knows part of the truth. Otherwise, there's no way she'd betray you, given her personality," Riley continued, raising his eyebrows. "If you don't want to listen, then I'll just keep my mouth shut. But if you don't do something about her, she'll soon become the biggest trouble in Daybreak.""The woman beside Hesper took a picture of us," 013 chimed in. 'Jessie?' Nathaniel fell silent, while Riley shrugged indifferently. "Hesper doesn't even remember us now. There's nothing she could do even if she has our photos." "Jessie has been constantly accompanying Hesper, which makes her a possible threat. As

"Hessy! You're awake!"Fortunately, Jessie soon noticed Hesper had woken up when she turned her head around. She hastily pressed the button nearby and examined Hesper intently. "Do you feel uncomfortable in any particular part of your body, or have you remembered anything from before?"Hestia did not feel like she had gained any memories after she passed out, and her headache was normal, so she just shook her head.Very soon, the doctor came over and gave Hestia a brief check-up. After ascertaining that there was nothing wrong with her, he signed her up for a series of tests. If all of the reports showed that she was fine, she could be discharged from the hospital at any time."Do you know how scared I was when you collapsed?" Jessie said, her eyes turning red around the rims. "If I didn't run into Rickard, I don't know how long it would take me to get you to the hospital."Hestia had been listening to Jessie expressionlessly, but when she heard Rickard's name, she froze."It was

Hestia had received and read the message from Charles. After confirming that the situation was not serious, she let out a sigh of relief. The reason Hestia panicked in the first place was that both Rickard and Nathaniel were no fools. If there was really a big problem, they would not have left it unresolved for a day and a night.The more speculation and attention they gained from the public, the more the value of this wedding would be fully exploited. With that thought in mind, Hestia lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. "Everyone says they will treat me well, but when there is a profit to be made, they won't think twice to take advantage of me." "I'm sorry. What are you saying?" Jessie did not hear what Hestia said. Her gaze was fixed on the chaos on Facebook, and she felt sorry for Hestia. Hestia fell silent for a moment and asked, "Why did you ask me if I remembered something earlier? Was it because of what the doctor said when I was unconscious, or was it something else that

Hestia furrowed her brows and lowered her head as she instructed Jessie to fast-forward the video. As Jessie did so, they heard a part where she mentioned her "elder brother." It confounded Jessie, as she did not know what Hestia was trying to say, so she looked at her quizzically.Hestia turned her head sideways and there was a stern expression on her face. "Do you know who Julian is?" she asked. "Julian?" Jessie had never heard of such a person before, so she shook her head blankly. "Do you still remember him? But you said you don't remember anything. I'm not familiar with him, so I suppose he wasn't a close acquaintance of yours."Upon hearing Jessie's words, Hestia shook her head hesitantly. "It's not that I still remember him. It's just that I do know someone named Julian.""What?" Hestia furrowed her eyebrows. Julian was a collaborator on her father's new project, specializing in medicine. Whenever he visited the house for business discussions, he always brought gifts for

When Rickard raised his head to look at Benji, he hastily composed himself and said, "There is a message from the people in the hospital. Ms. Deschamps has already woken up, and she's in a stable condition now. But… It seems like she still can't remember anything from the past.""I see," Rickard replied, nodding. After a while, he said, "It's a good thing that she can't remember anything now. She should probably stop trying to regain her memories if this was the case."Benji nodded. He had already given the note he picked up from the floor yesterday to Rickard. When Rickard saw the handwriting on the note, he frowned.He was pretty sure that the message on the note was written by Professor Miles. It appeared that Hestia had encountered Professor Miles, but he did not reveal his identity or offer any hints. Instead, he discreetly placed a note in Hestia's pocket, hoping that she would discover it on her own at some point.[The answer is in your memory.]The sentence seemed like i

Just when Hestia wondered who was inside the car, the window rolled down and a familiar face appeared before their eyes. Jessie held Hestia's hand and took a step back."Why are you hiding from me? I'm going to eat you." Zikmund's voice rang out from the car. Hestia and Jessie kept their distance from the car and looked at him expressionlessly. "Ms. Deschamps, your complexion looks quite pale. Are you feeling unwell? By the way, is there no one coming to pick you up?""It's none of your business," Jessie said, annoyance thick in her voice. She grabbed Hestia's hand and whispered, "Don't mind him. Let's go.""Wait! I heard you guys talking about Julian just now, right? If you guys want to know more about him, you don't have to go to Rickard. You can just ask me." Zikmund drove slowly and caught up with them.Hestia and Jessie looked at each other after they heard what Zikmund said."We grew up together. I'm sure you guys know Rickard's temper very well. He won't pay attention t

Zikmund finally succeeded in his endeavor to find Julian in a group photograph. He glanced up at Jessie and Hestia, both of whom had their arms crossed and were looking down at him, and let out a nervous laugh "Julian doesn't talk to us much. He's a medical equipment specialist and a bit of an oddball in his thinking. He's like a lone wolf, and he didn't like to talk to anyone except Hesper." Although the photo had been taken some years ago, Hestia could still vaguely make out Julian's facial features, and he looked the exact same as the person she remembered.Without needing to examine the picture too closely, Hestia was sure that this was the same Julian she knew."How is it?" Jessie could already tell the answer from Hestia's expression and immediately exclaimed. "So he's been following you all along. Maybe he got close to the Deschamps because of you!"Hestia did not say anything. Even though Zikmund did not understand what she was planning to do, he reminded her, "Julian is

The people around her might be the ones who had been lying to her the whole time. Just thinking about it gave Hestia a chill down her spine. However, her priority was to deal with Julian and see if she could get any useful information. With that in mind, Hestia took out her phone and sent a message.[Hestia: I angered my mother for some reason, and you know she has never been in good health. Can you please repeat the prescription you gave me before?][Hestia: I left the prescription you wrote for me in the password safe at home, and the servants can't get it. I'm in Halwanest now, so I can't go back to get it.]Hestie disclosed two pieces of information to Julian in two sentences. Firstly, she told him that she was presently in Genecity, the city where they had resided for a significant duration, rather than in Fredonia. Secondly, she wanted Julian to pay attention to the wedding between her and Nathaniel that took place two days ago. Just as she expected, Julian replied quickly.

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
