“The television station can’t and won’t tolerate such a mistake, whether it was committed by a host or an artist. Juniper has made such a joke out of herself and the station, so even if the director of the department wants to protect her, everything he does will be in vain. They won’t be able to keep her; that interview has marked the end of her career.”“That sounds reasonable too.”“Come on, let’s head home already.”Hesper gave off a faint smile, and the group of three disappeared from the entrance of the television station.And at the same time.Rickard just finished watching the entire interview too, but when he heard that Matthew Lane was Hesper’s elder brother, his pupils constricted instantly.“So, she’s been with him all this time?”‘I didn’t know him when I met him at the hospital back then and I only learned about him by accident later on. I never thought that Hesper would be by his side all this while.’“Mr. Duval, the young lady claimed that Matthew Lane is her bro

Things had not been going too well for Sophia recently too. Ever since the fact that she had hired someone to drug and harm Hesper back then was exposed, Rickard punished her to stay at home, and she was not allowed to go anywhere.Juniper deliberately defended Sophia when she saw her. “Isn’t Hesper too much? That incident was from so long ago, and she waited this long to come back to settle the old score with you? As for Rickard, how could he treat you like this?”Sophia held back her anger and gritted her teeth as she said, “That b*tch turns out to be a scheming one. She’s able to bewitch Dick into obsession with just a few words! He’s even ignored his biological sister for that whore!”She was never an obedient lady, so she immediately resisted when she heard that she was going to be grounded. She even dragged Madam Duval along to intercede for her.But Rickard only provided her with two options. “You either choose to be grounded or go abroad.”Of course, Sophia did not want to

Madam Duval followed everyone into the dining hall and motioned for Juniper to sit beside Rickard at the same time.“Juniper, don’t you like to eat fish? Eat some of this. It’s boneless, so it should be convenient for you to eat.”“Okay, thank you.” Juniper let off a bashful smile, took a glance at the man sitting beside her, and asked, “Rickard, would you like some soup? I’ll fetch you some.”“There’s no need for that.” Rickard interrupted her, and his stern expression gave off an intense sense of alienation.“Dick, how can you speak so rudely to Juniper?” Madam Duval frowned instantly. “Juniper came to our place because she cares about my health, not to mention that you two have known each other for so many years. No matter what, you should always treat her kindly.”“Mom.” Rickard looked at her.He could explain himself by saying that he did not understand what was going on before this, but he now had a general picture of what had happened back then.He then said calmly and sl

“If you don’t like it here, you can always avoid coming here. No one begged you to come, right?” Madam Duval snorted in dissatisfaction.‘After three whole years, this woman is still so presumptuous. Does she really think that I’m non-existent?’“Hesper Rivera, you took Renfrew away without any permission, and I haven’t even pressed the case yet. Know your place and stop swinging by, or I’ll make sure that you suffer!”“Heh, Madam Duval, you really haven’t changed at all.” Hesper scoffed. She did not want to argue with them when Renfrew was around, so she wished her good health with a rather sarcastic tone. “If this is the case, you should really take good care of your health so that both of us could have long lives ahead.”“Do you think that I wouldn’t understand what you’re trying to say?!”“Did you just manage to catch the point that I’m trying to make? Then it seems that you’re not as dumb as I think you are.” Hesper let off an enchanting smirk. “Alright, that’s all from me fo

“Mom, what makes you think you can talk to her like that just now? Has Hesper done something outrageous before this? Why do you all look like you were meeting your archenemy when she was here just now?”“Huh? Why are you blaming me for what happened?!” Madam Duval felt extremely wronged. She sat down on the couch and started complaining. “What have I done to deserve this? I got myself such a former daughter-in-law and you’re telling me that I can’t get physical with her, nor can I raise my voice against her? If you think she’d make a great wife, then go to her and ask for her hand again. While you’re at it, you can disown me as your mother!”Rickard was so exasperated that the veins on his forehead bulged one after another. He was not in the mood to argue, so he turned around and went upstairs without saying another word.Sophia and Juniper wanted to catch up to him, but he stopped them harshly, “Stop right there, you two. I don’t want to talk to anybody!”Sophia curled her lips, f

Juniper stopped running and froze in place.‘That’s right, Rickard might not believe in what I say, let alone stand up for me.’“What the hell do you mean?”“It’s nothing. I only want to return all the pain that you inflicted on me back then to you.” Hesper responded lightly, then continued. “Oh yeah, by the way, I might’ve forgotten to mention this to you. I made two copies of the recording from back then, one of which is already in Rickard’s possession, and I guess he’ll find out about it soon. So please enlighten me, will he still think that you’re his perfect damsel?”She gave off a smirk and then left.Juniper’s expression was on the verge of distorting. But after listening to all that explanation, she did not dare to go to Rickard to explain herself.‘If he hasn’t found out the truth behind the incident at all, wouldn’t I be calling myself out?’Back in the study.Rickard ordered everyone not to come in.‘Hesper claimed that she had left a recording device here three yea

For example, the first year that Hesper went to live with the Lanes, her identity was scrutinized. The cousin even swore by her life that she would one day kick her out of the family. The threat was averted only because Matthew handled it. Hesper was locked in the walk-in freezer for three hours and almost froze to death. When she was let out, she was freezing from head to toe and she had lost sensation in her extremities. She fell very sick and was admitted to the hospital for two months before she recovered. Arthur Lane flew into a furious rage and punished a lot of people, and that was how Hesper started having a place there. Everything that happened after that was all because of how hard she studied the information that was provided to her. “Mr. Duval… Mrs. Duval had it tough in the past few years.”Rickard curled his fingers hard around the documents. He could imagine what happened based on what was written. All of this happened because she was kicked out of the Duval

The answer was no longer important because he was not going to listen to their excuses. Rickard said with a stoic expression, “If you continue to bully her, I’m not going to let you off just because you’re my family.”“How could you say that to me? Have you forgotten that I’m your mother?” Julie was frustrated. Rickard had always been a good son to her, but after what he said, she was unhappy and afraid at the same time. Rickard looked at her, his calm eyes sending chills down their spines. “If you weren’t my mother, this would end very differently. Enough, Mom.”Julie wanted to say more, but Rickard gave his order. “As for Juniper, we’ll let bygones be bygones. She should visit us less often because I don’t want any more trouble. Do you hear me?”“Yes, sir.” He walked away in silence. His heart was in a knot and he had to do something to release the stress. In the presidential suite. Hesper was in a milk bath. She had had a good life in the past two years because Matthew

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
