Rachael heard that and her face twisted for a split second then went back to looking like a good girl. "I won't do anything. My life is in your hands. Why would I do anything?"Even though Hesper knew something must have happened to Rachael and that was why she looked so terrible, finding Stephen was important. Hesper didn't want to waste time and looked away from Rachel. She finally saw someone who looked a lot like Stephen in the corner. Her eyes shone and she immediately ran over, but she heard footsteps following her closely. Her heart skipped a beat and she moved away but that was when a blade stabbed into her rib. "Hesper!" Stephen stopped hiding and called out her name when he saw that. He rushed over while Hesper looked up and saw Rachael looking deranged. "...Rachael, have you lost your mind?"Did she think she could get away with stabbing someone in public?Luckily, Hesper moved out of the way in time, so the blade missed her heart. Rachael smirked with deranged

Hesper wasn't hurt in major areas, and she fainted because she lost too much blood. Furthermore, there were traces of a substance that could make people lethargic found in her blood. Stephen exposed his identity because of Hesper, so Cheney was keeping an eye on him. Rickard disappeared after dropping Hesper off at the hospital. Hesper didn't want his identity to be known because it wasn't time yet. Only Matthew stayed with her at the hospital throughout the night. She only woke up the next morning. "...Matt." Hearing Hesper's voice, Matthew, who didn't sleep a wink, hurried over to her bed and pressed the call button to get the doctor then looked at Hesper anxiously. "How do you feel? Are you hurting?"The pain wasn't too bad for Hesper, so she smiled when she saw how anxious he was. "I'm fine, I'm alright." Hesper even chuckled and said, "I didn't get shot the day before but today I got stabbed instead. It's ridiculous.""Don't say that."Matthew frowned. The doctor came

Matthew nodded and they didn't continue that topic. Hesper just woke up and was still tired, so she soon fell back asleep, leaving Matthew pondering. Who was the mole?***There were too many people at the hospital, so everyone came to a unanimous decision to let Hesper discharge from the hospital. The police came and began their investigation. Hesper and Rachael had a history and the two murder attempts didn't seem to be connected, but they were too close together. "You're quite unlucky."Hesper nodded. Matthew walked the police out and came back to see her deep in thought. Noticing his eyes on her, she looked up."Let Yves and Zaylour come to get me when I discharge."Matthew realized she was suspecting the brothers, but it made sense. They were the most suspicious. Lane Manor had a lot of personnel, but most of them had been there for years. Other than Rachael, the only people who had the chance to drug Hesper's food would be the two of them. "Alright."Hesper looked ou

Watching them, Hesper and Matthew exchanged looks and let Yves wheel her away. Matthew took out his car keys with a cold expression and quietly walked after them. "Mr. Lil' Six seem to be too quiet today," Hesper casually said. "I'm just hurt, not dead. Why do I feel like you're mourning me?"Zaylour frowned. "Why would you curse yourself like that?"However, he hadn't heard Lil' Six in a very long time. It was a nickname Hestia gave him. The brothers were both drugged and lost their energy while they were being auctioned off to people who had kinks. A pair of twins who looked good and weak would always sell well. Hestia showed up like a whirlwind and started trashing the auction site, freeing all the 'auction items'. That was how they ended up with Hestia. Zaylour fell into silence when he revisited the past and looked at Yves again. "Alright." Yves, who was some distance away, didn't notice his brother's expression. He helped Hesper into the car and looked up at Zaylour

The current situation gave Yves more confidence. He adjusted his collar and said, "Hestia did save us and I appreciate her for that, but Hesper is no longer Hestia. The person who saved us disappeared from this world. You don't know how tempting the reward is, brother."Zaylour clicked his tongue. "You're delusional, traitor."In contrast, Hesper was much calmer. She looked at the strangers outside and probably realized that they were just like Xander. They were there to kill her, and just to kill her. "Do you really think you've won, Yve?" Hesper calmly looked at the man, the familiar tone now sounding ironic. "You said it yourself, I had my suspicions for a while."Yves frowned and was suddenly afraid, but he quickly recovered. Hesper had always been proud and would always think that she could solve everything. She sent Matthew away before they were on their way. Now it was just them and there was no way Hesper had a backup plan! She was bluffing!However, Hesper wasn't.

Matthew paid for the herbs Stephen took, so Cheney and Vivienne let him go. Hesper finally saw Stephen as she had hoped for. It had just been a few days, but Stephen looked distraught. Hesper looked at the man before her and had a complicated look on her face. "Stepehe, or Skylar, it's been a while."Skylar wasn't surprised his identity was exposed, so he didn't give any reaction when Hesper called out his name but instead looked at her worried expression. "Have you fully recovered?""Yes, don't worry." Hesper walked over and untied him. "You probably know what I'm going to ask you, or you wouldn't have been avoiding me. Please be honest."Skylar had removed his disguise. Hesper never took a good look at his face before this, and now she realized he looked a lot like Silvan and Ehren. "You knew I was avoiding you." Skylar sighed. Other than worrying about Hesper's well-being, Matthew had arranged everything else well for him. Professor Miles would have guessed that something w

"You can stop looking around. Matthew handed you to him."Cheney shrugged. Hesper looked toward Rickard and thought it was funny.If Matthew found out this man was Rickard one day, he would die of anger. "We'll keep this person here for now. Please try to accommodate all his requests, except letting him go." Hesper looked toward Cheney. "Thanks, Ms. Moreau."Cheney squinted. "No need to thank me. I'm doing this because you're Matthew's sister, and I work for Vivienne. When you get a chance, ask Matthew to thank Vivienne for this."Without spending more time with Cheney, Hesper wasn't going to say yes to that on Matthew's behalf, so she turned to Rickard and cleared her throat. "Let's go." Rickard didn't say anything but just nodded and walked out with Hesper. It was pouring outside. Hesper looked up at the gloomy sky when an umbrella suddenly popped up. She didn't say no to the umbrella. Maybe because Rickard, who was wearing a mask, felt like a stranger to her, but Hesper

"We'll rise and fall together." Nathaniel looked toward the two people standing in the rain, his calm gaze turning colder. "I won't let him get away with his wedding."Julian raised his brows. Nathaniel pulled him back and they both disappeared from the couple's line of sight, then looked up. "The drug that causes memory loss comes from you, doesn't it?"Julian turned around, and the moment their eyes met, he smiled. "If Rickard wasn't to get married, we should turn the act into reality."***Rickard left in the afternoon. Even though Hesper was headed to the same destination, they couldn't go together, or Matthew would find out that something was going on between them. Hesper decided to take a different route from him to avoid getting her ears chewed out. "Be very careful when you're back in Genecity. Even though Lil' Six is with you, my gut tells me something is wrong." Matthew frowned. "I'll get there when I tie up the loose ends here."The 'loose ends' he meant were the S

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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
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
