Chapter 777

Author: Oopsie Daisy
‘If Hesper fails to get her hands on the evidence in time, will we be able to defeat Rachael and Celine?’

Jessie clenched her fists, and when she turned her head, she suddenly saw someone who she did not expect to see here, so she quickly turned around and pulled Sylvie, signaling her to take a glance at the entrance of the venue.

"Why is Rickard here?"

Sylvie had known since very early on that Rickard would be here, but she shook her head in front of Jessie, telling her that she did not know what was going on either. Her gaze actually met Rickard's at that moment.

"I have something to do. I need to leave for a bit."

Hearing Sylvie’s words, Jessie quickly grabbed her by her arm. "No!"

Sylvie was caught off guard.

Jessie only knew that her job was to watch over Sylvie and not let her leave her sight, so she bit the bullet and proceeded to prevent Sylvie from leaving by insisting with a straight face, "You can do whatever you want here!"

Sylvie felt a little helpless, but she als

    "The person who’s waiting for you here is me instead of someone else. This should be more than enough for you to get a hold of Big T’s attitude."The corners of Hesper’s lips twitched and then curled upward into a smirk when she heard the words, and there was not even a trace of warmth in her eyes. "I’m no longer the Hesper Rivera who you think you can handle easily. Frankly speaking, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time too."Riley and Carter stood by the side quietly and watched the two fight. Carter was a little surprised. "Hesper was only an ordinary woman who had no power to even put up a struggle half a year ago. How did she improve so quickly in only half a year?""Do you really think the Deschamps are pushovers?" The Deschamps and Daybreak had been involved in plenty of disputes over the years. Riley was always in charge of managing Daybreak’s affairs in Fredonia, so he naturally knew the Deschamps a lot better than Carter did.As an organization, the Deschamps we

    …Seeing that the big show was about to start, Jessie was pacing up and down the door a little anxiously, but Hesper’s figure was still nowhere to be seen."Geez, it’s about to start..."Sylvie seemed to look relieved, but she had always looked rather indifferent, so even if there were any changes in her emotions, they would be so insignificant that they could hardly be discovered, so it was only natural that Jessie did not notice any changes."Jess!" Just when Jessie thought that Hesper might not make it in time, Hesper’s voice sounded all of a sudden.The two of them lifted their heads at the same time and saw Hesper under the chandelier as she slowly walked towards them. The dress that she had on looked so glamorous that even the glimmering lights seemed to pay special attention to her. Every single ray that landed on or reflected off her body, making the dress look even more jaw-dropping and unmatched.Sylvie pursed her lips.‘She’s finally arrived in time.’"Did you get th

    "I haven’t even got even with you for locking Myriade up and arranging for 013 to stop me from getting what I want, so stop blabbering so much now, and play along." After saying so, she turned around and glanced at Zenovia. She let off a generous and elegant smile and then said, "I heard that you just became the spokesperson of Tuckers Entreprise. Congratulations."Zenovia was originally on cloud nine. She had managed to provoke Rickard before this, causing her to lose everything that she had earned through all her hard work, but she did not expect that she could make such a comeback through Nathaniel’s help.But now that Hesper was standing right next to Nathaniel, it was like she was reminding Zenovia with her identity as Nathaniel’s wife that she, Zenovia Lanik, had not only not made a full comeback but would also continue to live under her shadows...Just thinking about it made everything feel even worse.Seeing that Zenovia had been completely defeated, Rachael’s expression lo

    Rachael was stunned as well, as she did not expect the sudden turn of events. Turning her head around, she saw the dark expression on Jessie's face and burst out laughing. "See? I told you that you shouldn't count your eggs before they hatch."They should go look for Hesper right now. Jessie ignored Rachael's provocation, grabbed Sylvie, and went after Hesper.Seeing this, Nathaniel smiled at the others and said, "Sorry, I have to go out for a bit. Everyone, please carry on."*Hesper caught up to Rickard and grabbed his arm, her gaze cold and intense. "You replaced the VCR, didn't you? You knew about the bet between me and Rachael, yet you wanted me to lose?"Rickard did not try to defend himself. "Yes, I knew about it. But you mustn't win today, so I came to interfere—""Slap!"Hesper's hand flew up and landed a loud slap on Rickard's cheek, shocking everyone who had just arrived on the scene. Even if Rickard knew that she was going to slap him, he would not have dodged it. H

    Hesper remained silent along the way and Jessie knew that today's events had a great impact on her. It was not just the fact that she had lost to Rachael, but more importantly, Rickard's unexpected betrayal had undone all of Hesper's hard work up until that point."Could it be that we've misunderstood him?"Jessie had thought that Rickard was a good match for Hesper, but she never expected such an unexpected incident at this time. Besides, looking at Rickard's attitude just now, it did not seem like he deliberately wanted to hurt Hesper. Sylvie did not make any comment, while Hesper chuckled. "I'm sure he must have his own reasons. But it doesn't change the fact that he has hurted me again and crushed all my hard work. He always has his own reasons." Jessie knew Hesper had lost all her trust in Rickard again. Just when she was about to say something, she felt that someone was tugging at her. It was Sylvie. She nodded at her, and both of them walked out of the room before clos

    Rachael had sent her many messages, saying that she regretted it. She did not want Hesper to leave Genecity, and that she wanted something else from her."It seems to me that she's up to good." Jessie shook her head after reading Rachael's message. "She had a smug look on her face the other day. If you go over there today, who knows how they'll treat you."Hesper could not help but smile. "What can they do to me?"At the end of the day, Rachael still felt guilty. She was not at ease with her status as a member of the Lanes. The Lanes knew that Hesper was the real Racheal, so even if Hesper left, it would not make a difference.What was false could never become true. If Rachael wanted to stay in the Lanes to enjoy wealth and luxury, it would not be an easy task."Regardless of the outcome, I still have her wrapped around my little fingers," Hesper said. "I guess she wants me to stay by her side. Only if I'm here can she continue to be Rachael."Jessie was confused. She never quite

    After tidying herself up, Hesper drove to Rachael's studio by herself.Rachael had been waiting for Hesper in her studio. She looked at Celine begrudgingly and asked, "Why must we let her stay? Is what Nathaniel said always correct? I think you're just worrying too much. We should just let her get out of here as soon as possible…""Hmm?"The first thing that Hesper heard when she entered was Rachael's complaints, so it went without saying that she heard them mentioning "Nathaniel." She raised her brows and asked, "Do you really want me to leave that badly, Ms. Lane?"Celine did not know how much she had heard. She held Rachael back and walked toward Hesper. "Please don't take it seriously. Rach… I mean, Rachael was just joking around. She didn't mean it."Celine was timid, but she was smarter than Rachael. It was not surprising that Nathaniel would approach her, so Hesper pretended that she did not hear anything."You won the match, so you can ask me to do anything you want."Al

    Zenovia and Hesper did not seem like they would get along well with each other. Now that Zenovia had the support of both the Tuckers and Duvals, they were confident that she would be able to give Hesper a hard time.'This is what they came up with after so long?' Hesper could not help but find it a bit funny, but she could fully imagine how Zenovia would treat her.It was just that it was still unknown who would end up getting bullied. Both Celine and Rachael heaved out a sigh of relief when Hesper agreed to their condition. No matter what, if they could twist her around their little finger, it would be their victory. Meanwhile, Zenovia went from being a blacklisted actress to becoming a spokesperson for the Tuckers and Duvals in a short period of time. Countless resources and contracts came to her, and her manager could not stop smiling."When you said you were going to seek Rickard's support, I was certain you would fail. I was completely taken aback when you actually succeede

    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.
