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

Hesper was extremely impatient. The feeling of passing death by less than an inch was not a very pleasant experience.Hesper slowed down and stopped at an urban junction, and as soon as the men from the Lanes caught up to her, they stopped and came down to check on her."I’m fine."Hesper shook her head when she met the gazes of the crowd and then continued. "The car from just now shouldn’t be able to catch up to us now, so there’s no need to go after it... What's most important is getting home. We’re in Emperion now, so the people of the opposing party won’t dare to make any move here.""Everything is up to you as long as you’re safe. We'd been watching that car the whole time, but somehow, he managed to lose us in the blink of an eye."Hesper shook her head, took a glimpse at her car, then said, "This car has suffered quite some damages. If I were to drive it back and run into another incident on my way home, it might not be able to survive the drive.""You can come with us. Th

Hearing this, Hesper pursed her lips and nodded, and the two then walked into Arthur’s room at the same time...."You’ve come back?" Arthur turned his head, saw Hesper who came in side by side with Matthew, and his eyes turned bloodshot in an instant.Hesper was not doing much better either. Looking at her grandfather who had gotten a lot older after only one year, she could not help but feel downcast deep down."Yeah, I’ve come home."Hesper walked up to Arthur’s side. Arthur then reached out, stroked her hair, and beckoned them to sit down."Grandpa, I’ve come back in order to have some things clarified." Although her emotions were on the verge of completely flooding her chest cavity, the most important agenda that she had to attend to right now was to understand why she could not return to the Lanes.Hesper spoke with a determined gaze. "I want to know the things that you’ve been hiding from me. I’m no longer a child."Seeing the resolution that Hesper emitted, Arthur sighe

Walking out of the room, Matthew asked after a while, "Did Mother lose her memory?""Yes." Hesper nodded, turned her head, and stared at Matthew solemnly. "When I went back to the Deschamps residence, Mother regained her memory briefly, and she actually came into my room, sat at the end of my bed in the middle of the night, and watched over me. I could feel that she loves me very much, and she must love you very much too."Matthew was at a loss for words as he froze for a split second. He had forced himself to grow up prematurely and to take care of everything. So no one in the Lanes except Hesper actually regarded him as an ordinary person.But in the end, Matthew only nodded, and his omnipotent appearance re-emerged. "We’ll bring Mother back safely."Hesper also nodded, and her eyes looked as black as obsidians. They were so dark that they were shining."Yes, we will!"...On the other side, Rachael was anxiously waiting for some sort of update in her room, as she had already

"Oh, is that so?"Simon looked back at Theodore with a slight hint of reluctance. "Theo, what do you think?"Theodore looked helplessly at his elder brother, who had always been facetious, then looked at Hesper, and said, "I’m very sorry for keeping the truth from you before this, but we only did so to protect you."The culprits behind the hallucinogenic drug incident were still at large, so the best way to protect Hesper was to make outsiders think that she was not "Rachael Lane".Later on, Arthur removed Hesper from her position only to deliver this point even better.Helen had already exposed her two-faced way of doing things before this, but Hesper did not expose her because they were related by blood. She addressed her politely, but Helen no longer dared to pretend to be as loving as she was before and only nodded awkwardly."...Where’s Uncle Will?" Hesper looked around but did not see Wilfred, so she could not help but feel a little puzzled.Matthew explained, "It’s said t

Hesper became quiet after hearing the noise as if she could already imagine what had happened over there. Jessie took a few deep breaths and then said, "Get Renee to come and bring these two away tomorrow."Hesper never expected that Zaylour and Yves would get on Jessie’s nerves to this extent. In a sense, it meant that Jessie had encountered someone who could subdue her.Hesper said after a sigh, "You can contact Renee. I’ll find out what happened tomorrow. I’m rather unsafe here too, so you should look out for yourself back in Genecity. I’m worried that the party will shift their attention toward those around me because they couldn’t get their hands on me.""Did something happen?" After hearing what Hesper had to say, Jessie’s tone became a little more nervous. "You’re in Emperion, the city that basically belongs to the Lanes, and those people still have the balls to make a move on you...? Did you get hurt?"Hearing Jessie’s nervous tone, Hesper quickly replied to her, "No, so do

‘Now that he mentions it, everyone always thought that Mother died all those years ago, but she’s actually still alive, so why couldn’t Father be alive too?’Thinking of this possibility, Hesper’s eyes lit up, but Edward did not tell her anything more."I only hope that you can locate Master Benjamin in order to actualize Master Lane and everyone else’s wish." Edward could not help but shake his head. "This is a lifelong preoccupation that’s been haunting Master Lane for many years. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the liberty to ask you to help."Hesper nodded when she heard the words, and her gaze then turned even more determined. "If I have a chance to find my father, and he’s still alive, I’ll bring him back to see Grandpa.""Okay, then I’ll take my leave. Thank you, Ms. Lane."After returning to her room, Hesper repeatedly thought about the possibility that her father was still alive, but no matter what, she had no way of knowing if he was.Speaking of who in this world woul

The more she thought about it, the more cracked up she became. Rachael went back to her room, thinking about how she could escape the desperate situation, but she suddenly heard something knocking on her window.A strange feeling arose in Rachael’s heart. She walked over and found a piece of paper outside the window, pressed under a stone. It seemed to be a mysterious letter.‘This is...’Rachael’s heart pounded against her chest.‘Isn’t this how the person who told me that I could use Hesper’s hair to pretend to be the young lady of the Lanes sent me messages?!’Rachael looked out the window, but she did not see a single person. She opened the window and took the letter in immediately then closed the curtains carefully, blocking all gazes that might see this scene.In fact, Rachael still had not told anyone the truth. She actually knew how to contact the person who gave her the idea back then, but she did not believe Hesper nor Celine.‘Celine has only ever wanted me to stay by

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
