"I'm Hestia Deschamps now, not Hesper Rivera. You can't threaten me."Rickard didn't say more. Hestia turned to leave, but at the door, she couldn't help but turn around, walk to Rickard, and punch him in the ribs. "Ms. Deschamps!" Kenji stepped forward to stop her, but Hestia's movements were unexpectedly quick, so all he could do was watch as Rickard was punched. Kenji knew she used a lot of force and it wasn't the amount of force a normal woman would have. Rickard bent over and sucked in a deep breath. "I've wanted to do that for a while now. You always have that cold expression as if you're confident you'll win, but in reality, you have nothing. When focusing on profit, you didn't get it, and when you wanted Hesper, you didn't keep her either."She looked down at him. "I can back down this time, but it's not because I'm afraid of you. I as Hestia can't let go of what Hesper wants to protect. I'm threatened by my own principles, not your words.""Ms. Deschamps, please cal

Rickard looked more serious. "I mean I'll talk to you before making any decisions and not do something just because I think it's good for you.""...Really?" Hestia questioned but immediately realized she had no reason to apologize to him. She pulled her arm back again with all her might and managed to get free. "I don't care what you plan to do in the future." Hestia looked at Benji and Kenji, who were standing in the corner, cleared her throat, and sat down. "Tell me why you had to do so much and even brought out the agreement Hesper signed."Rickard called Benji's name and Benji composed himself, then walked to Hestia and handed a note to her. Hestia looked down, read the words, and looked up confused. "What's this?… 'In your memory,' meaning I'll get answers when my memory recovers? Who did you get this from?"Benji looked at Rickard, who gave no reaction, then replied honestly, "I saw it drop to the ground when you were passed out during your wedding. Did you meet Professor

Hestia was confused. What happened to trust?"I've agreed to your request," Hestia squinted her eyes, showed her palms, and wrinkled her nose as if she was threatening him. "You should stop playing around and give me the agreement."Rickard shook his head and put the agreement in his bag then handed that to Benji. He then turned to Hestia, who was fuming, and said, "It says three conditions. Even though this is more like a negotiation, I'll consider it as one of them."Negotiation… Consider… "Rickard Duval!"Rickard nodded then continued. "I don't have any more questions. If you do, you can ask Kenji or Benji. There's a lot to be done for the company, so I'm going to go upstairs now.""You little…"Hestia took a step forward but Kenji blocked her. Hestia glared at him with no expression and said, "Do you think you can block me? I know you've had training, but you might not win if we fought.""I'm here to protect you, so I won't fight you."Kenji's expressionless face made Hes

The most suspicious thing was the note. Even though the meaning was ambiguous, if anyone saw it, it might bring a lot of danger. Since Professor Miles chose this way. Why would he leave anything that could bring danger?If Benji hadn't found the note, or if he had chosen not to tell her… Hestia wouldn't even know it existed. Hestia thought things were off when she thought it through, so she put the paper under a light but didn't spot anything odd. However, she was suspicious, so she thought about it and got a candle from a cabinet. Even though this was an old way of bringing forward hidden writings, she didn't want to dismiss the possibility. To her disappointed, it didn't do anything either. Looking at the slightly burnt paper, Hestia frowned and sighed. She couldn't find the hidden meaning of the note, but she was sure about her theories. Professor Miles probably had a message he wanted her or someone else to have. ***The next time she saw Nathaniel, it was five days

Hestia stared at Nathaniel for a while then shook her head. "That's just what you think. I never said I'll help you take the Duvals and Lanes down. With our marriage, the benefits the Deschamps could bring you should be enough. Do whatever you want, but don't involve me."Nathaniel smiled and shook his head. "You're not even trying to be nice.""If Hesper were here, I'm sure she would be worse." Hesita stood up and looked at him. "The online discord has calmed down a lot now. I support your decision to visit me and create an illusion of a good relationship between us. However, don't expect me to do business that doesn't match. I'm not stupid."Hestia opened the office door and walked out. Nathaniel watched her walk away and squinted. Hestia didn't seem to want her memories to recover at that moment. She seemed to lean toward Rickard and Matthew… Had part of her memories come back? It wasn't possible that she would fall for Rickard again in such a short period of time. Thinking o

Hestia couldn't figure out what Nathaniel would fear about her or Hesper, but it was good news. Working with someone who could read your mind, even if Hestia wasn't a hundred percent sure, she knew she had more chances of winning. However, Nathaniel had lost his touch and avoided her instead. It was the best thing for her. "So when are you getting divorced from Nathaniel?" Jessie asked worriedly. "Nathaniel wants to take down the Lanes and the Duvals, but I'm sure you wouldn't agree."Hestia didn't know what she really wanted. The suggestion Rickard gave her was to not look for the Sulzbach person and not to try to recover her memories.Other than working at the studio, Hestia didn't know what else she could do. "I feel sorry for you." "Me, sorry?" Hestia pointed at herself and was going to say something but Jessie nodded sincerely. "Even though Hesper didn't come from a good family like you did and had to go through a failed marriage, she had someone she loved, a family sh

Hestia shook her head. "Hesper." Jessie suddenly opened the door to the balcony and Hestia looked at her. She pointed outside and said, "Someone is here for you… I don't think it's someone Hesper knows."Hestria frowned hearing what she said. If it wasn't someone Hesper knew, it meant the person was there for 'Hestia'? But in the past half a year, Hestia never met anyone new. Most of the people she met were business-related, but friends… She had none. "Go inside." Even though she was suspicious, Hestia nodded and walked over to pat Jessie's shoulder: Whatever it was or whoever it was, Hestia had to see the person who managed to locate her. Jessie leaned closer to Hestia and whispered. "I think that person is here for trouble. He even has a woman in his arms… Looks like some influencer. They didn't seem to want to see you but were more interested in making a scene."Hearing the description, Hestia was even more troubled. That was until Jessie led her to the people. "It's b

After Crosleigh said that, Jessie and Hestia both looked at him with confusion. "...What? You're bullshitting but never thought I would call you out for it?" Crosleigh stood up straight and the woman next to him laughed and looked at Hestia from head to toe. That wasn't important because she hadn't had a good look at Hestia, but she heard of Crosleigh's complaints. Hestia wasn't a reasonable person and was so violent she broke his leg in front of others. In the woman's imagination, Hestia had a common but arrogant face. She didn't expect her to be so… beautiful. Beautiful women all have nice features, but Hestia's eyes were mesmerising. They were soft but stern because of Hestia's personality. It didn't feel annoying but it did look arrogant. "New boo?"Hestia didn't want to talk to anyone about Rickard. Even though she was technically married to Nathaniel, it wasn't great when her past with Rickard was brought up. Crosleigh heard Hestia's voice, tugged at the woman next t

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
