Chapter 829

Author: Oopsie Daisy
Sylvie had completely acquired the company that day. As long as Zenovia made her move again, they could retaliate. However, there was no need to rush things.

Zoya thought about it but still felt a little unhappy. She climbed out of bed and grabbed something before leaving. If nothing unexpected happened, Zenovia would take action that night.

*

On the other side, as soon as Zenovia walked through the door, she saw that the lights were on. Her expression turned cold.

"Willow, this is my room. If you're coming over, don't you need to ask for my permission?" Taking off her high heels and walking in, she saw Willow sitting on the sofa, looking like she was ready to accuse her of something.

Zenovia knew that Willow had already found out about what she had done, but so what?

It was Willow who had given up on her first. Even though Willow knew that she could not stand Hestia, she still went ahead and signed her anyway. Wasn't that considered a betrayal?

Although Zenovia had long pla

    The hatred in Zenovia's eyes burned like flames in the darkness. She pulled out her phone and transferred $45,000 to the person at the top of her list. "When I wake up tomorrow morning, I want to see Hestia ruined!" *Hesper had a good night's sleep. When she opened her eyes, something happened on the internet again. The previously suppressed negative news had resurfaced and the backlash was even more intense than before."Finally, you're awake." Zoya walked in with a cold expression on her face and placed a laptop in front of Hesper. "If you didn't wake up soon, I was going to shake you awake. Everyone has gone crazy on the internet. The news of Zenovia changing her agency has also been released.""How did they end up involving the Pisanos and Rickard?" Hesper frowned as she looked at the trending topics. Previously, the focus had mainly been on her fake education background, but now it had dragged in Pennleigh, Crosleigh, and Rickard. "What about Nathaniel? I didn't see his na

    "...What's wrong?" Hearing the loud angry growl from her manager, Zenovia started feeling anxious. A video was sent over soon after the call ended. [Manager: Look at this. Your agreement with our company is officially canceled. This is so terrible.]Ignoring the tone, Zenovia tapped on the video with a shaky finger. It was the video of her arguing with Willow Harris at the cafe. It was a clear video, so there was no way she could wiggle her way out of this. [Zenovia: Where did you get this?][Manage: Where did I get this? Everyone probably has a copy by now. Just search online. Come over to cancel your contract this afternoon, or we'll sue you for breach of contract.]Zenovia opened Twitter with a throwaway account and watched as the trending topic went from Hesper to herself. She tapped in with numbness in her heart and it was filled with the videos from that day. Willow called over too but Zenovia didn't answer because she was losing her mind seeing what was trending. How

    Seeing more and more comments siding with Hesper, Zenovia's eyes burnt. Her hard work in the entertainment industry was destroyed in a day, all because of Hestia Deschamps. Zenovia finally felt regret at that moment, not because she targeted Hestia but because she hadn't chosen a better way to deal with her. She laid on the carpet, hair strewn, oblivious of the person getting closer to her. "Hestia… I won't let you get away with this even after I die." Zenovia's tears rolled down her face, but what she didn't expect was a sharp knife to glide across her neck a second later. Her eyes were wide open from disbelief but the killer chuckled. "I guess you'll have to haunt her then."***After calming the storm online, Hesper finally removed Willow from her blocked list, but within the next five minutes, Willow called. Hesper put her on speaker and placed her phone on the desk. Surprisingly, Willow didn't say anything but Hesper could hear that her breathing was shaky even throug

    Hesper didn't have a reason to worry since she wasn't involved in this, but 'Hestia' didn't have a clean record in Fredonia. Hestia managed a lot of the Deschamps family business in the past six months. Although the police didn't have conclusive information on whether the two things were linked…Hestia used to use a butterfly knife. The killer planned this to create problems for her. "What do we do now?" Renee stood up. Hesper shook her head. "Don't worry, if I'm dragged into this, Charles Deschamps won't be able to protect his family, so he would find a way to remove me from the list of suspects. I'm just thinking…" Hesper rubbed her knuckles. "I'm just thinking, what's the killer's motive? To make me stay in Fredonia?"Even though they never came up with a reason, the police got to Hesper. "Ms. Rivera, we need you to come with us."The police were investigating her. Renee worriedly looked at her, but Hesper shook her head and walked out with the officers. That night, the

    "You're no longer a suspect, Ms. Rivera."Hesper expected that, so she nodded and looked toward Gerard. "You seem to have more questions for me. I can tell you confidently that Zenovia's death is unrelated to me."There was no evidence to prove otherwise, and even though Hesper didn't sound very convincing, Gerard was confident Hesper was innocent. That was the truth. She didn't have a motive. Still, Gerard had his suspicions.Hesper looked at him with her clear eyes. Gerard cleared his throat and said, "You can leave now."Hesper walked out of the room with Gerard without saying anything more. Renee waited in the waiting room and immediately walked over while looking worried when she saw Hesper walking out. Hesper was bothered. She was there for less than an hour and they weren't going to beat a confession out of her, so there was no need for Renee to be so worried. "I'm fine." Hesper smiled as she turned to face Gerard. "I'm sorry that this is happening, but I have some ideas

    "Oh." Renee was relieved. "But why do you think Xander murdered Zenovia? They don't seem to know each other.""I don't think it's him." That surprised Renee. Hesper calmly said, "I don't know a lot about Zenovia's death, but it was true that Xander tried to kill me, so there's nothing wrong if Gerard investigates him."Renee's lips twitched. Hesper continued, "An outlaw like Xander wouldn't have a clean record. If he had a record, Gerard would have more information than we do."Renee understood, so she nodded and changed the subject. "Willow called me a few times after you left. They know you've acquired the company and the agreement has been canceled. I guess… this has come to an end."Hesper was silent for a few seconds, then nodded. "Thanks for the hard work."Hesper just wanted to send the things Zenovia got from her back, but never would she imagine this to end in Zenovia's death. Even though Hesper didn't do it, the butterfly knife would still be linked to her. They were t

    That was why even though she knew that going back to the Deschamps would be highly risky, and she had enough reasons to not return, Hesper had to risk it one last time. "Don't worry, I'm confident."Hesper frowned slightly. The first thing she would do after going back would be to win Charles's trust. She didn't know the actual situation and what was going on in Charles's mind, so she was actually not confident at all. However, if she didn't say that, Renee and Zoya wouldn't have let her go. Renee sighed. Hesper already made up her mind and she could tell from the look in her eyes. "Call me if you need anything." When she looked up again, Renee's eyes were red. "You're my most important mistress, friend, and family."Hesper sighed, then patted her hand. "Don't worry, I'll come back in one piece."Zoya watched as Hesper consoled Renee. Then she lowered herself to face Zoya. "I'll bring you to visit Ren at Genecity when I'm back. I'm sure he wants to see you.""Alright, I k

    "You left for so long. I missed you a lot."Her thin eyelids weren't able to hold back her tears, so they escaped and dropped onto Hesper's hand. Hesper felt guilty but she couldn't tell her the real reason for her absence. All she could do was reach out to hug Elise. "I'm back now." Hesper disregarded the strangeness that she felt when she saw her mother. Elise led her to the couch and sat down. "I know you've been busy working and I heard your dad say you've found your biological family. I'm really glad."Hesper shook her head and looked at Elise longingly, then said, "You'll always be like my biological mother in my heart. Even after I've found my family, I still respect and love you."Elise's eyes turned red again and they looked sad. Hesper knew Elise wouldn't be able to handle the emotional strain, so she changed the topic. "I'll be staying here for a while. Even though there's a lot to be done in my country, I want to spend some time with you.""You don't have to." Elise

    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
