"D*mn it! I must've owed them a lot in my previous life!" Hestia's brows were tightly knitted on top of her forehead by the time she walked out of the yard with a lunch box.Although Hestia had a lot of knowledge about food, she never had the chance to cook in the Deschamps' place. Even the fact that she knew how to cook was told to her by Jessie.After realizing that Renfrew might be hungry and had not eaten, Hestia walked into the kitchen and found a package of noodles and some vegetables to cook a simple meal.Before she knew it, she was already standing at the door."I'm doing this because I want his help to regain my memories."With that thought in mind, Hestia lifted her hand and pressed the doorbell. She climbed over the wall when she came last time. After all, Rickard was the last person she wanted knowing that she was trying to get her memories back. However, since she was bringing food for Renfrew, she did not want to go over the wall again. When the maid saw Hestia,

"What are you talking about, Mr. Duval? I don't understand at all," Nathaniel said, raising his eyebrow. "I can only say it's a coincidence. My goal is definitely not to win this bid only. Do I look like someone who only cares about this bid, Mr. Duval?" Rickard suddenly realized something when he heard what Nathaniel said. He turned to look at Benji and asked, "Was it a call from Hestia? Where is she now? Tell her to stay at home and wait for me." Benji blinked awkwardly a few times. "Ms. Deschamps broke into the house just now and beat up a few maids. She found out that the young master is missing and has probably taken people to look for him."Rickard frowned and looked at Nathaniel before turning around and saying, "We're going back now. We need to look for Hestia.""But…" Benji clenched his fists. "If Nathaniel gets this project, not only would all our efforts be in vain, but the Tuckers would also have the power to confront the Duvals." "There are no buts." Rickard left w

Ever since she received the message from Myriade during her wedding, Myriade had disappeared again. Since a lot of things happened afterward, Hestia had forgotten about Myriade, and it was only now that she remembered her. After a short bout of contemplation, Hestia decided to send a message to Myriade and asked if she was the one who hacked the surveillance cameras. If it wasn't her, at least Hestia could ask her for help in recovering the footage, which would be a good deal no matter what. With that in mind, Hestia picked up her phone and messaged Myriade.[Hestia: Was it you who hacked into the cameras?]Before she received a reply from Myriade, her phone rang again. She saw the name "Rickard" on the screen and felt even more annoyed. The Duvals' residence had so many people, yet they could not take care of a child. Their servants were useless, and she wondered how Rickard managed his people."Hello?" Hestia answered the phone, her tone impatient. "Don't go." Rickard's voic

"Yes, sir."*The one who sent her the message was Myriade. [Myriade: Yes, it was me, and it was Julie who took Renfrew away. This is a part of Nathaniel's plan. He wants you to regain your memories, so he'll be waiting for you at the place where everything began.]'At the place where everything began?' Hestia had no idea what Myriade was talking about, but she understood the gist of it. Nathaniel had kidnapped Renfrew before, and if she could remember anything about it, she would know where Renfrew was now. The problem was that she could not remember a single thing from the past. No matter how much she wanted to, she could not recall even a single image of "that place."[Hestia: How is Renfrew now? I can't remember anything… What will Nathaniel do to him if I can't remember?]It took a while for Myriade to reply.[Myriade: Nathaniel found out about my message to you last time, so I can't reveal too much. He doesn't trust me completely now. Follow the river, and you'll find

Meanwhile, Hestia and her companions had discovered a water source and were tracing the river downstream. Upon receiving the message, Renee and Isaac arrived with their team. When Hestia mentioned the location, Renee recollected that it was the exact spot where Nathaniel had abducted Renfrew earlier."It looks like my guess was correct," Hestia said.Hestia was panicked just now and had forgotten that Renee and Isaac had gone through so much with Hesper, including the kidnapping."Are you really not going to wait for Mr. Duval?" Isaac asked worriedly. "Nathaniel is dangerous, and we've experienced that before. You told us before that Young Master Renfrew was once held by him over the turbulent river. If you hadn't arrived in time, he would've thrown him into the river."Hestia was stunned.'A turbulent river?'The upper stream of the river was relatively calm, and if there was an area with a bit of turbulence, it would probably be in the forest below. If Nathaniel wanted her to r

"Give him back to me!" As soon as Hestia's voice sprang into the air, Nathaniel had already let go of Renfrew. In an instant, something exploded in Hestia's heart and she jumped into the river before Nathaniel could do anything."Hesper!" The river in late autumn was murky and icy. Hestia struggled to grab Renfrew's clothes and pulled him towards her, but the fast current was too strong. Even though Hestia could swim and had good stamina, she still could not struggle out of it and could only let the river carry them away.Renee wanted to jump into the river after Hestia, but Isaac held her back and said, "Don't do anything stupid! You'll get yourself killed!" Nathaniel knelt by the riverbank, but nobody had the energy to pay attention to him at this point. Isaac quickly turned around and said, "Let's go downstream to look for them. Ma'am and Young Master Renfrew must have been carried downstream.""Yes, sir!"Renee could not accept the fact that Hestia had jumped into the r

Hestia's face became tense after what Professor Miles said."Don't worry. I'm not interested in the Deschamps' affairs," Professor Miles comforted, holding Hestie's gaze. "That guy has made a lot of enemies in Fredonia over the years. I'm used to having people hunt him down for his life, but not you. You're the last person who should harm him." Suddenly, the note that Professor Miles gave Hestie came into her mind and she asked, "You told me on the note that the answer is in my memory. Does it mean that I knew the man before I lost my memories?" Looking at the curiosity in Hestia's eyes, Professor Miles shook his head."It's not the time for me to tell you yet," the doctor replied, trying to reassure Hestia. "Once you're feeling better, you should leave this place. It's not safe for you and your child to stay here with all the troubles around me."Hestia had only taken about ten minutes to recover from her initial daze. She needed to regain her memories, and Professor Miles wa

Before anyone spoke, the woman introduced herself. "Sylvie. I'm Hestia Deschamps' secretary, which means I work for the useless Deschamps you were talking about."Jessie heard Hestia mention Sylvie before and knew that she was someone Hestia trusted, so she said, "I know you. You're here to help look for Hesper, right? Can you get help from the Deschamps?"Sylvie nodded. "They've been searching for her too. You just didn't know it."Hearing what Sylvie said, Matthew stood up as if he was confronting her. "I don't know what the Deschamps are planning, but Hesper is my sister, so I will not let you hurt her.""Hestia is part of the Deschamps family, who supports her, so we won't hurt her," Sylvie calmly said. "Instead of pointing your fingers at me, why don't you think of why she would go missing again?"Everyone fell silent. They thought about that and Sylvie was right. Hestia jumped into the river, so logically, they would be able to find her if they followed the flow of the riv

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
