This was not beyond Hesper’s expectations. Zoya’s departure was certainly not a small matter for Daybreak, and the technical support that Zoya could provide them with was also temporarily irreplaceable for the organization.It seemed that Nathaniel did not have much time to create more trouble for the time being, and Hesper could finally breathe a sigh of relief."Stop!"Zoya broke in through the door, Hesper looked at her with a perplexed expression, while Renee stepped aside. "What’s wrong?"After handing the laptop in her hands over to Hesper, Zoya tapped twice on the mouse pad. News articles appeared all over the screen, saying that Hesper had falsified her academic qualifications and that someone discovered that Hesper was a Lane and she had an affair with someone else during the ceremony of her marriage to Nathaniel.If it were not for the fact that Hesper was now in Fredonia, all the scandals would have affected her life in all aspects."This has been appearing on all medi

Hesper could not explain everything clearly in just a few words, so she briefly explained the whole situation to Matthew starting from her bet with Rachael. When he heard that Hesper had already guessed that Rachael was her human shield in the Lanes now, Matthew remained silent for a moment."So you and Rickard have gone back to being together?"Hesper was at a loss for words for a while then denied it. "No, he made his own decisions without consulting me first then deliberately hid something from me. I won’t be with someone whom I can’t agree with. He just so happened to be the person who saved me."Matthew felt a little more at ease after hearing this.Matthew had no choice but to accept the entanglement that had to take place between Hesper and Rickard when all this chaos was going around.‘There are too many things that Hesper has to juggle at the moment, so it’s only natural for her to not waste time on such a pointless relationship.’"Do say hello to Grandpa for me."Speak

"The acquisition process should be relatively smooth."Renee would never doubt any of Hesper’s arrangements, so she nodded, took her leave, and started working on the acquisition. Meanwhile, Zoya was monitoring various online media; if any negative public opinion were to appear, she would suppress it immediately.The atmosphere became quiet in an instant. The wound on Hesper’s waist had healed immensely, and it would not hurt as long as Hesper did not carry out any strenuous exercise. However, its existence was also a reminder that Xander was still out there watching her from the shadows and could make a move at any time.‘Getting rid of Zenovia is just a matter of convenience. There are still a lot more questions that I need answered first.’"I need to meet with Rickard."Pennleigh had learned about Hesper’s injury and recovery. Because of his worries, he could not catch up to Hesper and let her get into the car alone, so he felt a little guilty deep down."It’s okay. Xander was

Hesper had always had a great sense of propriety, so although Roberto did not know why she wanted things to go that way, he would follow Hesper’s wishes and not disrupt her plan."Oh yeah."Hesper suddenly thought of Stephen. Linking her memories to that of Hestia, Hesper remembered that the person who was standing next to Azariah at that time was Skylar, and he was the "Stephen" who helped disguise her back then.‘Since Stephen is Skylar Sulzbach, and Azariah hid him in Fredonia all this time, Mr. Sanchez probably hasn’t seen his friend for quite a long time.'"I haven’t seen Stephen in so long. How is he doing now?" Hesper made it look as if she brought him up unintentionally.Roberto shook his head, then thought about it for a moment, and said, "Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen him in a long time either. But that’s how he is. He sometimes disappears for a few days or hides whenever he doesn’t feel like meeting others." Roberto waved his hand. "He probably heard about the

"Hessy!"The first person to see Hesper was Aelinor. After seeing Hesper, she quickly waved at her, and the others looked in the direction of her gaze and saw Hesper, and the scene turned a little awkward for quite a while.Aelinor did not know all the twists and turns. Ever since Pennleigh confessed to Isobella that Hesper was not his girlfriend, Aelinor liked Hesper even more. Whenever she thought of how rude she had been to Hesper before this, she would feel a little guilty.Rickard’s gaze landed on Hesper, and his eyes dimmed as soon as he saw her and Pennleigh walking in side by side. And while he was still sitting on the couch without moving, the woman next to him heard the voice and looked up at Hesper, and her amorous eyes glistened."Is this the situation that you were talking about?"Hesper turned his head to look at Pennleigh, who cleared his throat. "The person sitting next to Rickard is called Camille Moreau. You must have heard of the Moreaus, right? They monopolize

The current scene felt a little awkward, and everyone present knew it very well. Isobella, who was in charge of making dinner, wanted to lead Hesper out of the awkward situation, so Hesper followed her into the kitchen.Hesper did not know what Rickard was up to again, but Camille looked very smart, so there might be some sort of cooperative relationship between the two..."Hesper?"Hearing Isobella’s voice, Hesper instantly came back to her senses and met Isobella’s somewhat worrisome gaze. Hesper felt a little puzzled in that instant."I didn’t know that you’d come over all of a sudden... Camille has always been a very well-behaved and sensible kid. She’s able to shoulder half of the Moreaus at a very young age too. But this is also my first time hearing of her relationship with Mr. Duval."Hesper realized that Isobella must finally know about her true relationship with Rickard.‘This makes sense. A lot of public opinions have been floating around recently. Although Fredonia is

However, after meeting Hestia, who not only had a good personality but also came from a good family, nobody would believe that Rickard would go and fall for someone like Zenovia."Stop it. Remember, Hestia is a Lane. Although I don't know what caused her to change her name, the Lanes aren't a small and insignificant family," Willow said sternly, but Zenovia refused to listen. "Do you think I don't know that? You think Hestia is pretty, so you want her to become your new cash cow, don't you?" Zenovia sneered. "Do you really think Hestia is just the harmless and innocent person she appears to be?"Willow reached a point where she could no longer tolerate Zenovia, and similarly, Zenovia had no interest in listening to Willow's opinions. With their views at odds, Willow set aside the newly arrived project and left.Zenovia scoffed disdainfully as she watched Willow's departing figure. As long as Hestia was eliminated, all the problems would be easily solved. Her younger sister had bee

Hesper remained silent. Rickard had clearly avoided her question and was just trying to convince her with his own reasoning. At the end of the day, this man only cared about his own plans, and he considered himself doing her a big favor by excluding from them. "I think you should leave now, Mr. Duval. We wouldn't want your fiancée to misunderstand if she saw you coming out of my room," Hesper said, her voice cold. Without waiting for Rickard to say anything, she opened the door. Though Rickard appeared conflicted, he chose to remain silent and left Hesper's side.*It was only one night, but the news Zoya had suppressed resurfaced. The Lanes' inaction and Hesper's silence seemed to give the public more ammunition. Finally, even Charles called.Hesper was on her way to find Willow when she received Charles's call. She raised her eyebrows. "Dad?"The call was connected and Charles's voice came over from the other side of the line. "I've seen the recent news. It's about that w

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
