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

It looked just like an ordinary script, but after being an actress for so many years, Zenovia might not have picked up on anything, but she had developed the ability to pursue profit and avoid harm over the years. She just took a glance at the guest list and knew that her manager was telling the truth."Okay. I'll go," Zenovia said as she played with her hair. After that, she asked, "What is the name of the new designer? Is it Celine?""No," her manager paused for a moment before replying, "It's Hesper."Zenovia froze.Meanwhile, Jessie was furious when she heard that Rachael wanted Hesper to work for her and to serve Zenovia. "How can she be so shameless? She clearly knows the feuds between you and Zenovia, yet she still wants you to serve her?" "Well, I wouldn't put it that way. I'm just going to become her designer. I'm not going to serve her," Hesper said as she pulled Jessie down from the couch. "Zenovia has become the spokesperson for the Tuckers and Duvals. I'm sure she

Contrary to what one might expect, Hesper was not fuming with anger. On the contrary, she was surprisingly calm, perhaps more so than ever before. Compared to her previous reactions of resentment or misunderstanding towards Rickard's actions, she had now come to detest betrayal in any form.Once a person betrayed her trust, she would not hesitate to cut them off completely, for there would always be a next time."When I talked to Mr. Duval, he too had his doubts. However, the situation was urgent at the time, and if you had won the competition, Charles would have surely sensed something was wrong," Sylvie explained.Hearing Sylvie refer to Charlie, whom she had always addressed with great respect, by his name, Hesper could not help but feel a bit strange."You don't need to put in good words for him. I have my own considerations," she replied, lowering her gaze. "Since you've made your choice, I'll choose to believe in you. But I won't tolerate a second occurrence of an incident li

Rickard did not make any comment about his statement, but Benji felt that Rickard had somehow taken his words to heart. That being said, he still felt somewhat surprised. Rickard had changed because of Hesper. As for Zenovia, he could see that she was a cunning woman in a single glance. It was evident that she not only harbored a desire to marry Rickard but had also attempted to cause harm to Hesper. He was convinced that her intentions of asking Hesper to go with her to Fredonia were anything but honorable.Benji had become a strong advocate for Hesper and believed that she was the only suitable woman to be Rickard's wife. He was so focused on his mission to protect Hesper that he did not even consider the possibility that no one could harm her now and began investigating Zenovia with unwavering determination.Rickard was still standing in front of the door and Kenji walked over. Looking at Benji's back, he let out a sigh."Benji really likes Ms. Rivera," he said.Rickard nodded

This was what Zenovia told her manager too. As the manager observed Hesper's delicate and lovely face, she realized that Hesper's beauty was just as stunning as Zenovia's, who was already considered a natural beauty in the entertainment industry. However, upon further examination, the manager couldn't help but notice that Hesper's beauty surpassed even Zenovia's.It went without saying that Hesper knew the manager was observing her. It appeared to her that she could use Zenovia's manager as well, but now, since this was the first time they saw each other, she had to help with the luggages. When Zenovia came over and saw Hesper carrying her luggage, she felt somewhat pleased. She lifted her skirt and walked over, saying, "Isn't this Ms. Deschamps? It's been such a long time."Hesper raised her head when she heard her voice and smiled at her. "It's not been that long. It's just that you're so busy with your work that you've forgotten about me."Zenovia knew that she could not win

As he looked at Hesper's beautiful in front of him, the coordinator suddenly realized that agreeing to her participation in the show was a great idea. Just having such a face in the show would attract a lot of attention. "I thought Zenovia was your relative or friend," the coordinator said, impressed by Hesper's potential. "I've worked with her before, and every time, she brought a bunch of assistants. How come it's your turn to carry her luggages this time?" Hesper just smiled and shook her head without saying anything.There was not much time for them to talk. Willow went to look for Hesper when she realized that she had been taking a lot more time than she should. When she saw Hesper talking to the coordinator, she approached them."Ms. Harris?" Hesper called out to her loudly. Willow did not know what was going on, but she tried to calm herself down and looked over at the coordinator."It's been a while since we last worked together. It's about half a year ago, right?""Yea

As Zenovia went to mingle with the other celebrities, Willow patted Hesper's shoulder and whispered, "Can I call you Hessy from now on?"Hesper nodded and smiled at her. "Of course, feel free to call me whatever you like."The more Willow looked at Hesper, the more she liked her. Although Zenovia seemed to be thriving on the surface, Willow could not help but feel that her sudden rise to fame was unsteady. Zenovia was like a building on the verge of collapse, so she needed to find a new place to settle down."Do you think these stars are just like us?" Zenovia asked, gesturing towards the other celebrities.Hesper glanced over and smiled. "Of course, they all shine brightly on stage. Designers like us never have a chance to stand in the same world as theirs." The smile on Willow's face deepened when she heard what Hesper said. The two of them did not chat for long as the other non-celebrity guests had arrived. As one of the guests, Hesper could not stay off camera for too long.

Although she did not return to Eustoma as agreed because she had lost her memories, and she did not have to be responsible for Elise's order, it was a fact that Hesper left her work without permission. "Do you two know each other?" Scratching the back of his head, Max turned to Hesper. "I'm really sorry about it. I mistook you for a respected senior of mine because of your striking resemblance."'Senior…'Hesper did not know why but she was suddenly assaulted by a pang of guilt when she heard the word "senior." However, she could not reveal her identity now, so she nodded and said, "It's okay. You can call me Hestia from now on."There was a mixed expression on Pennleigh's face, but he also knew that now was not the right time for them to catch up. After all, there were so many cameras around them. Even if other people could not hear what they were talking, those cameras would capture all of their actions without fail. Even though Pennleigh did not know what Hesper's plan was 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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
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
