Dianthe looked at Hesper worriedly, and Hesper patted her on the back of her hand. "Don’t worry, I’m strong, not to mention that Silvan and Ehren have already left the building now, so worse comes to worst, Xander would be the only person waiting for me here."Dianthe knew that she would not be able to persuade Hesper otherwise, so she could only nod, stop at the stairwell, and watch as Hesper entered the study.…Although Silvan had just taken a bullet for her moments ago, Hesper still could not fully trust him. Thus, in order to eliminate the doubts that she had for him, she had to make sure that Silvan had no other secret plans going on.Walking into the study, Hesper subconsciously checked to see if anyone else was hiding in the room, and after making sure that she was the only person in the study, she inserted a USB flash drive into Silvan’s computer.This was given to her by Zoya before. It could go through a lot of folders on a computer and copy all information extremely ra

‘Ms. Rivera, I’ll come for you again.’Hesper finally got rid of Xander, and although there was the not completely verbal warning that he gave off at the end through the shapes of his mouth, she had gotten into an area that would keep her safe, so Hesper could not help but relax a little as she entered the crowd, slowly searching for Dianthe’s whereabouts."Hesper!"Dianthe’s voice sounded from the side, and Hesper breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her."Thank God that you’re fine."The two of them opened their mouths and uttered the same thing at the same time. Hesper could not help but let off a chuckle. She then turned her head, saw the police coming down from their cars to seal the whole mansion up, rubbed the flash drive in her pocket with her fingers, and took a deep breath."Are we leaving now?" Dianthe tugged Hesper’s sleeve worriedly.Hesper nodded and said, "I’ve got my hands on what I want, so yeah, we’re leaving now, but we should go to the precinct soon."Anyo

It was not Hesper’s first time stepping into an interrogation room, but this was different from the last time when she went into one with Officer Gerald Dubois. She put on an extremely calm expression last time only because she wanted to pique Gerald’s curiosity so that she could get more opportunities for future dialogues with him.But she could not act the same this time around."Ms. Rivera, we’re only going to ask you a few simple questions." Seeing Hesper’s worried appearance, the officer knew that it was normal for an ordinary person to feel very panicky when encountering such an event, so he comforted her, "You don’t have to be afraid."Hesper nodded then responded, "I don’t know what happened. I was invited to attend a friend’s son’s birthday party. I didn’t expect things to end this way..."The officer nodded, and Hesper added, "This person wanted to kill me sometime before, but the last time he attempted to do so was when we were back in Fredonia. I never thought that he’d

"Okay, I understand everything now." Dianthe sighed. "I’m afraid that I won’t be able to face the Sulzbachs anymore in the future. By the way, Hesper, have you found anything valuable back at the mansion?""Yes, I copied all the contents of Silvan’s computer, so whether I can find any useful clues depends on this tiny little flash drive now."The four of them remained silent until they arrived at the Lanes manor. Dianthe felt that she needed some time to digest everything that had just happened earlier today, so she did not ask to go to the hospital with Hesper."You don’t have to accompany me this time around. The nature of my visit would change if you were to appear at the hospital with me." Hesper came down after changing into her more casual clothes and saw that Matthew had already gotten ready too, so she could not help but burst into a chuckle. "Don’t worry, everything is under control.”Zaylour, who was standing next to her, asserted, "I’ll make sure that Hesper comes back u

‘The trajectory of a bullet isn’t something that one can guess so easily, even if they're extremely close to the place where the shooting takes place, not to mention that the distance between Silvan and Xander wasn’t very near at all at that time.‘Even I couldn’t calculate the trajectory of the bullet in the first place. How can he be so sure?’"Don’t make fun of me, Ms. Rivera. I know that only because of what the officers told me after I woke up."Hesper did not dwell on the matter anymore and said bluntly, "I didn’t say that the person who carried out the assault today did so under Ehren’s instruction when I was giving my statement to the police. No matter what, thank you for saving my life today."It was better for Hesper to bring this matter up than for Silvan to take the initiative to do so.Silvan seemed to have guessed it very early on and responded softly, "Thank you, Ms. Rivera. Ehren was indeed very outrageous this time. I’ll teach him a lesson after this.""I hope th

Hesper lifted her head, revealing half of her face and a clear jawline, letting off a subtle fragility through her expression, which would make anyone feel like protecting her. However, what she said right after that might say otherwise."No."‘Why should I ask you for help? Who am I to do so?’After saying so, Hesper turned around and left, while Rickard stared at her from behind, but his gaze was only fixed on the tips of her wet hair. It was because of Camille’s words that he had decided to come over firmly and get a hold of her thoughts, but Hesper had once again proved with her actions that she did not need him.Even if it meant that she would get wet, she still did not want to share an umbrella with him.Hesper took a few steps away and breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she felt that Rickard should not be catching up to her, but that was when she felt a tap on the shoulder.Zaylour just so happened to run into her and could not help but tease her. "What happened? You loo

There was a long silence on the other side, and Camille realized that this was not the time for her to complain about the rubbish plots of this real-life soap opera, so she cleared her throat and suggested, "Is it possible that Hesper actually hopes that you can soften your tone and attitude and coax her? Don’t you know how you treated and wronged her in the past?"Rickard could not help but remain silent for a while more and then said, "I told her that I can help her. Isn’t that me softening my attitude?"Camille did not expect that Rickard could still refute her after she put such a statement forward, so she could not help but nod and sat up from the couch. "Mr. Duval, although we’re in a collaborative relationship, I’m only responsible for being your shield and adviser. You didn’t tell me that I would also have to be your love guru when we signed the contract."Camille only wanted to tease Rickard for a little. After all, she had already looked into how Rickard had treated Hesper
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 909
Matthew fell into deep thought, and while Hesper knew that there was still not much evidence to support this statement of hers, this was the best explanation that she could come up with based on the information that she currently possessed."Silvan and Ehren are surely in this together, and they actually plan to trick you into owing them a favor through this incident?"Zaylour could not help but smack his thigh. "These capitalists are really heartless!"The two capitalists brother and sister gazed at Zaylour, while Yves cleared his throat from the sideline, and that was when Zaylour withdrew his hand awkwardly and then looked at Hesper. "You should go on."Hesper let off a faint sigh, and her gaze landed on the window lattice."We can’t do anything now. Too many people have witnessed Silvan saving me from the bullet, so as long as there’s no conclusive evidence that he’s in it with Ehren and Xander, he’ll always be my savior."Hesper emphasized the phrase "savior", giving off a h

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
