Hesper sat next to the window and called Sylvie after locking up her room door. She went silent after finding out the answer, then said, "If… there are any movements there, tell me immediately."Sylvie was surprised but still said, "Aren't you worried that I might be a double agent? I've always worked with Mr. Deschamps before."Hesper doubted her at first, but since she chose to trust Sylvie, she was going to stick to that decision, so she didn't say a lot more. "Call me anytime. I'm hanging up."After hanging up, Hesper stood up and walked to her bed. She took the small surveillance camera out of the corner of her nightstand.The camera's model didn't have a voice-recording function to ensure accuracy. Even though Hesper was very careful and didn't say Charles' name or talk about any information, she was relieved. She was in Fredonia, Charles' home territory, so if she made a mistake, she would fall into Charles' hands. She would not take that step. Someone suddenly knocked

After repeated betrayals and manipulations, the trust they had for each other was broken. It was impossible for Hesper to trust him again, even if they had the same target. She wouldn't give a traitor another chance. "Rickard came here because of the hallucinogen case. I don't think you know about this."Hesper frowned. Rickard kept finding excuses about the case. She felt that something was off, but now that she thought about it, why would he reject helping her with the investigation?He used to do anything that she asked. Hesper suddenly realized that she had started trusting Rickard again, as she felt that he wouldn't lie to her. He had a reason for everything he did. Seeing her frown, Nathaniel continued. "That's why I looked into him and found out that he was one of the victims of the case.""What?" "It was when your dad escaped. There were over a hundred victims, and Rickard was the only one who survived among all of the people and soldiers who were sent over."Hesper

He had to find a way to make Hesper lose all trust in Rickard Duval. Nathaniel squinted, and when he turned around, he saw Zenovia standing behind him. Who knew how long she had been there. "...Mr… Mr. Tucker."Zenovia looked into his eyes and pressed her lips together, her pretty face looking afraid. "I was just taking a walk. I didn't hear anything."That was obviously a lie. Nathaniel scanned Zenovia's face then smiled warmly. "Don't worry. It's alright even if you heard… But I don't think we met today, Ms. Lanik.""Yes, we didn't meet. I didn't even leave my room."Zenovia took two steps back as her face turned pale, then quickly ran into her room. Nathaniel's smile dropped once she was out of sight. Zenovia wasn't someone who could hide anything. She was impulsive and didn't have a mind of her own. He just hadn't been paying attention before he picked up the phone. He needed to get rid of Zenovia soon. She had angered Hesper so many times and now she even walked in o

Rickard told her an unknown person was getting information about Renfrew through Julie and Sophia. That person wasn't Nathaniel and might not even be someone they knew well. Hesper couldn't figure out why someone would be interested in Renfrew instead of her or Rickard. However, they knew there were eyes on Renfrew, so she had to be careful. "Alright, Mr. Lennon is already in Genecity. He'll keep an eye open for information regarding the young master," Sylvie said. "Also, Benji didn't leave for Fredonia. Even though he doesn't look unconventional, he's reliable most of the time."Benji wasn't there?Hesper was surprised about that because Benji and Rickard were like conjoined twins. Now that Duval Group was functioning normally, there was no need for Rickard to leave Benji in the office to take control of it. She couldn't figure out a logical reason, so she gave up on trying to. Questions surrounding Rickard kept piling up. Hesper knew Nathaniel was behind some of it, but Ric

"No way," Zenovia subconsciously replied. Everyone looked toward her, but she didn't notice and scoffed. "Do you think getting into Fredonia U is so easy that even she could get in?"Hesper thought Zenovia was only arrogant because she was doing well in the entertainment world, but she was actually stupid. "Hesper was a student at Fredonia U. She was close to graduating when she was an intern in Eustoma." Pennleigh frowned. Even though he didn't understand why Zenovia kept trying to get under Hesper's skin, he couldn't just watch as someone mocked Hesper. Zenovia's smile froze. Why was Hesper so lucky? She got into Fredonia U, worked in Eustoma as an intern, married Nathaniel Tucker, and even managed to capture Rickard Duval's heart. What did she have that drew all the good things in the world to her?Zenovia didn't know that the last person who thought that way had burnt to a crisp. She turned around and looked at Nathaniel. How could someone with that face be so evil?'Hespe

Pennleigh wasn't sure what was wrong with Nathaniel being seen with Roberto, but seeing Hesper's expression, he could guess that it was something important, so he said, "Should we go after them?""They're gone." Hesper shook her head to calm herself down. "This is Fredonia. Even though the Deschamps family has some influence here, due to certain reasons, we can't touch them…""Do you need my help?" Pennleigh immediately asked. Hesper didn't beat around the bush and nodded. "When this all ends, I'll thank you properly...""There's no need for—" Before Pennleigh could finish, Hesper left with her phone sandwiched between her cheek and shoulder, leaving him standing alone in the night wind, mumbling, "There's no need to thank me. I just need you to have feelings for me."***Hesper contacted Renee first. Sylvie had too much to investigate, and since the Deschamps had a lot of informants, they couldn't use any of them because that would tell Charles that she had gotten her memories b

"Xander."Xander rarely showed up near Hesper, even during the filming, as if he was transparent. However, Hesper kept her eyes on him because of his greedy gaze. Hearing Hesper call his name, Xander removed his mask. "If you're that clever, why don't you guess where we're going and what I'll do to you?"Hesper would never have imagined him making a move then, but he had to have been planning this for a while now. He monitored everything about her, including her phone. When did it happen…? Hesper didn't notice any of it. Hesper scoffed. "The person behind you knows me very well. Do you think you can win in a fight against me?"Before Xander could reply, he felt something hard, like a piece of metal, pressing against his back for a split second. "Sorry. Even though I don't know when you started spying on me, I've always been a careful person." After leaving Nathaniel the previous night, she knew something was about to happen, so she went to her place in Fredonia alone befor

Hesper's anxiety was temporarily lifted, but of course, she wouldn't be naive enough to think that everything would be fine. On the contrary, when she would arrive at Nathaniel's place later, there might be a battle. Having driven a long way in the wrong direction, it would take at least half an hour to get to the location Myriade sent to her. Hesper frowned and texted her to ask what the situation was there, but Myriade didn't reply. No news could be good news. Hesper knew there was no point in her worrying, so she could only pray that Myriade wouldn't take action until she got there. Xander knew what she was worried about and changed the topic with a grin. "Don't you want to know who I am?"Of course she did. The person who was behind Xander was beyond her imagination and managed to go under the radar and get Xander to take her away. It meant the person had all the information about them.Everyone was included in the person's plan. However, Hesper didn't believe that Xand

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
