On the way to the studio, Hesper texted Jessie, so when they met, Jessie was calm. Hesper only left temporarily to work and now she was back. Unlike the last time they parted, Jessie showed the accounts of the studio to Hesper. The newer designers hired by Hestia started to have their own ideas. Even without Hesper's leadership, the studio was working well. They would close a new deal on a daily basis, so compared to other studios, especially the quiet and dried-up studio of Rachael, this was a good result. Although Hesper heard that the studio was doing well, when she actually saw the results, she was gratified. She didn't know if Jessie noticed, but when she came back this time, they were doing so much better. Jessie managed to manage the studio very well even though she was on her own. "Rachael has run out of ideas now. They were using your designs before, but no matter how many of those they had, it had to run out one day." Jessie raised her chin and looked arrogant. "The

Maybe she could only let her guard down around Jessie and be a normal person and live a normal life. ***Rachael and Celine were the most anxious when they found out Hesper was coming back. Yet after pacing around for the entire afternoon, they didn't hear from her. Rachael thought after they beat Hesper and passed this problem to Zenovia, they would be able to be at peace, but they didn't expect that things would end with Zenovia's death. What were they going to say to her?"If she doesn't come to us, we shouldn't go to her."Rachael paced around while Celine was deep in thought. It was getting dark outside, so Hesper was probably not going to show up that day. However, Celine knew Hesper wasn't going to let them off the hook so easily, no matter if it was the rivalry they had before this or what they had a long time ago. They were not going to be able to pretend nothing happened between them. "Why don't we go back to Emperion now? Hesper wouldn't be able to do anything

Rachael was feeling down, so when she heard that, she bounced back. Celine could hear the taunting in Hesper's voice, so she patted Rachael's back and turned to get the door. "I thought I wouldn't be welcomed here."After taking a look at Celine, she walked in and stared at Rachael's pale face. She knew Rachael did some mental gymnastics before her arrival. How could she pretend to be someone from an affluent family with the guts she had?She couldn't tell if it was because Rachael was too dumb or the people behind her were too powerful. "I came here to ask you a few questions. There's no need to feel nervous." Hesper smiled, but to Rachael, she looked like a perverted killer who was teasing them, so she shook even more violently. Celine walked in front of Hesper and lowered her gaze. "Stop scaring her."Hearing that, Hesper glanced over and walked a few steps closer to her, then smiled a joyless smile. "Should I scare you instead then?"Celine was much calmer than Rachael,

Rachael agreed without any hesitation."Okay, we’re going back now." Hesper nodded in satisfaction, stopped pestering her, and said, "I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow. I know your address like the back of my hand, so don’t try to hinder us, Ms. Campbell. Otherwise, even if you flee to the ends of the Earth, I’ll find you."She blinked mischievously, but none of the people present would be fooled by Hesper’s play. However, Rachael only hoped that Hesper would leave immediately so that she could go back to breathing normally.Staring at the imminent storm outside, Hesper grabbed a spare umbrella from the umbrella basket beside her."It looks like it’s about to rain outside, so I'll borrow this umbrella for the night. I’ll see you tomorrow, Ms. Rachael Lane."...After taking a few steps out of the building, it started raining.Hesper did not expect it to rain so abruptly, and she only came here to find Rachael on a whim, so no one followed her there. Now that it started raining

"Why have you come to me?"Hesper got straight to the point, while Rickard did not beat about the bushes either and said, "Nathaniel is missing, and there’s no news of him in both Genecity and Emperion at the moment. Your men should’ve told you about this?"Hesper was at a loss for words for a split second, as she really had not known this. Nathaniel had indeed been extremely quiet recently, but Hesper had also been dealing with so many other things and had no time to pay more attention to him."Is there any secretive information from your side?"Rickard nodded, took out a few napkins, and handed them to Hesper. Only then did Hesper realize that the ends of her hair had gotten wet from the rain, so she took them from him."I heard that Julian Zink has returned to Genecity, and it’s said that he’s the last person that Nathaniel met back in Fredonia. Now that he’s returned to the country out of the blue, these two incidents might be somehow related."‘Nathaniel met Julian back in F

Hesper came back to her senses and nodded in a daze. "I’m going back to Emperion tomorrow, so do take good care of Renfrew in the meantime."Since Julian and Nathaniel are scheming something in the shadows, it should have something to do with Emperion and the hallucinogenic drug incident from back then." Hesper lowered her gaze, and the two of them remained silent for a while as the raindrops continued to hit the roof of the car, letting off a series of rhythmic patter."Hesper, I sometimes can’t get my head around you." Rickard took the initiative to resume the conversation. "You don’t want to be used by someone else, so I don’t use you, but you still seem unhappy."There was nothing much in life that could get Rickard confused. He glanced at Hesper with an expression that she had never seen before; his gaze looked dim, making it difficult for anyone to take their eyes off those melancholic eyes.Hesper turned her head and looked at the heavy rain outside the car window. "That's p

Needless to say, the answer was as clear as day to her.Celine clenched her fists and watched Rachael load her luggage into the car.After loading all her bags, Rachael walked up to Celine, raised her chin, and said, "You’re going to stay here to take care of our studio. Stop drawing that perfunctory rubbish for our clients."Celine was speechless and frowned as she stared back at her. Rachael looked away for a moment, probably knowing that her message was a little too harsh. She cleared her throat and said, "Anyway, I’m going back to the Lane manor for now, so take good care of our place."Hesper could not help but click her tongue twice, attracting the gazes of both sisters. She then turned around and got into the car without saying anything."Wait..." Seeing that Rachael was also getting into the car, Celine reminded her, "Don’t believe in everything Hesper tells you. Don’t forget that the two of you are on opposing sides. She couldn't be that kind to you. You know..."Racha

Hesper curled her lips.‘I came prepared today, plus there are so many men from the Lanes around me. I won’t lose you today.’Feeling that the speed of the car was getting faster and faster, Rachael felt a little uneasy. "Why are we going faster and faster?"Of course, Hesper would not answer her. Rachael would only cause more trouble if Hesper were to get her involved. Hence, Hesper raised the screen in the middle of the car, and Rachael instantly felt desperate. "Where are you taking me?! What are you doing? Talk to me!""...Shut up. I’m not going to kill you."Sounding a little impatient, Hesper took a glance at the car that was getting closer and closer to them and then exclaimed, "If you want to survive, shut your mouth. You already can’t stand it just as we arrive in Emperion? What makes you think that you’re coming back here to be the young lady of the Lanes?"Rachael was probably scared, so she kept her mouth shut. Hesper was finally able to keep an eye on the car behind

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
