"What did you come over for?" Matthew led Hesper to the couch and sat down. Hesper said, "I went to see Silvan. He gave an elaborate answer, but I still have a feeling that something is off. I'm a little lost now."Matthew frowned, but Hesper continued. "I didn't come here so you can worry with me.""...Hmm?"Matthew looked confused, so Hesper replied. "Rickard's wedding is happening soon. If I attend it, wouldn't I need to wear something that would make everyone stop in their tracks?"Matthew looked even more confused, so Hesper shook her head and continued. "I mean you should take a break from work and go shopping with me. You need a change."They didn't have to talk about work that day. Hesper tugged at Matthew's hand. He was curious but still followed her. Even though the Lanes owned malls, Hesper thought that everyone there would be on edge if she showed up with him. They wouldn't be able to relax. Thinking about that, Hesper ended up going to a mall owned by the Sulzbach
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 895
She was safe. Realizing that, Hesper no longer turned around and continued shopping around the mall with Matthew. All the malls were about the same. Hesper went over that day just to see if Silvan was as normal as Ehren described. However, the truth was that Silvan managed the mall very well and it was easy to see that he wasn't just a normal manager. He was actually very clever. "This one then. It's not too attention-seeking." Matthew pointed at a few and Hesper tried them. They had forgotten a white gown that was put aside. Hesper looked over and suddenly realized that it looked a lot like the gown she wore all those years ago. Hesper paused, then shook her head. "White is bad. I won't wear white."After a lot of choosing, Hepser ended up going with a light green gown. It looked timid, very different from how she usually would dress, so it looked unusual but pretty. Hesper looked at herself in the mirror and was first surprised but then turned to smile at Matthew. "I loo

Vivienne had an arranged marriage with Matthew. It was love at first sight for her and she kept following him around. If Matthew wouldn't marry her, she would make everyone who had feelings for him be afraid to have feelings. That lasted for two years. Arthur finally saw they weren't a good match and Matthew was suffering, so he canceled the arrangement. Hesper heard about that before. She thought it was funny at first and understood why he never let anyone bring it up. Even though Matthew relented because Vivienne was a woman and they had a marriage arrangement, that was a dark period of his life.Seeing how happily Hesper was smiling, Matthew suddenly realized that it wasn't as difficult talking about it as he imagined. "I know about Megan now. I'll make sure this won't happen again." Matthew straightened his expression and said, "Hesper, I know you want to cheer me up. Even though we're in the middle of a lot of things now, and although I feel tired, I wouldn't be annoyed t

"The quieter it is, the more likely that something is wrong."Yves's smile faded while Zaylour sighed. His brother was indeed made for bigger things. That was why he accepted that he could do nothing for the Lane family.After ironing out the details about surveillance with Yves, Hesper felt more relaxed, but her guard was not fully down. Rachael had been at the Lanes all this while. The Lanes had been careful around her, whether it was intentional or otherwise. Where did she get information to change her mind if that was the case?***Meanwhile, Rickard watched as Camille tried on her wedding dresses and started zoning out. "Mr. Duval and Ms. Moreau are a match made in heaven. Ms. Moreau looked beautiful in all the dresses." The shopkeeper smiled. "Mr. Duval took time to come with Ms. Moreau even though you're so busy. You really love her a lot."Camille waved for her to leave them, so the shopkeeper left the room to them. "What's on your mind, Mr. Duval? Ms. Rivera?"Heari

Meanwhile, no one contacted Rachael after a few days. Hesper didn't think she was innocent. Even though Rachael just looked unusual for a moment, it was enough for Hesper to be alert. "I have to find a way to see Professor Miles."Hesper squinted, then turned to face Matthew and said, "If my instincts are right, Silvan isn't the humble man he portrays himself as. That means Professor Miles could have lied to me on the phone. He's in trouble and might have been captured."Matthew frowned and thought about it. Hesper made sense. No one knew anything about the Sulzbachs, so if it was as she said. The professor could be in danger. After a moment, Matthew spoke. "I remember Locke's birthday is in a few days. Silvan loves the child deeply and could hold a birthday party for him every year. We'll get a chance to take a look at their home then. However, Silvan would find a way to hide the professor, so it wouldn't be easy for us to find him."Hesper lowered her gaze and looked troubled.

At least she had a target to go after. ***When they got to the Sulzbachs' residence, Hesper and Zaylour got out of the car and saw Dianthe standing not too far away, seemingly waiting for them. She walked over when she saw them. "You're here too?" Divanthe pursed her lips. "What do you mean? You're coming, so I have to come along too."The situation wasn't great that day, so Dianthe shouldn't have come. However, Hesper knew Dianthe was worried she was walking into danger alone, and even though she didn't know why Hesper was suspecting SIlvan, she followed along. "Thank you, Dianthe."Dianthe rubbed her arm and said in an exaggerated way, "I'm getting goosebumps. Let's go inside. Locked was delighted when he heard you were coming. The child is young but he has a good memory."Hesper walked into the hall. It wasn't her first time at the residence but she wasn't expecting to see Ehren immediately after walking in. He was sitting gloomily in a corner with a cloud over his head.

Ehren relaxed his clenched fist when Hesper walked away. What did she find out? Why was she so sensitive? Did she guess what was going on? Ehren's eyes darted around then he shook his head and mumbled. "She couldn't have known."Hesper didn't turn around but instead casually looked over. Ehren was easier to read than the old fox Silvan. Someone must have been calling the shots for Ehren because he wouldn't be able to do that by himself. The only thing that made her curious was how he managed to trick Nathaniel. Nathaniel read people like books. If Ehren had always been lying to him, it was impossible that he didn't know. However, now that he was missing along with Julian, Hesper wouldn't be able to ask him about it. Hesper couldn't help but feel it was a bad time for Nathaniel to disappear. It was so difficult for her to get rid of him in the past, but now she couldn't even find him. "Ms. Rivera, you're here." Silvan's voice was heard. Hesper turned around and saw him walkin

Hesper did not expect that an incident would take place so abruptly, and Silvan was actually the first person to get wounded, so everyone present at the scene screamed as Hesper frowned, reached out to support Silvan who was injured, and took a closer look at his wound.Fortunately, the bullet missed all crucial organs, but the shot was enough to make him suffer.‘The bullet should’ve hit me, but Silvan took it for me.’"Mr. Sulzbach, I’ll call an ambulance, so stay with me." It was not Hesper’s first time seeing someone get shot, so she acted very calmly.After calling for an ambulance, she helped Silvan stop the bleeding. "Don’t worry, no organ was hit, so this is nothing serious."Seeing that the Sulzbachs residence fell into pure chaos, it was fortunate that a servant probably spread the news about the incident upstairs, so Locke did not come out and see the miserable state that Silvan was currently in, as well as the mess outside."Hesper, are you okay?!" Dianthe ran over an

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
