Seeing that it was almost time for the wedding ceremony to begin but nothing was happening backstage, some guests had already realized that something had gone wrong and initiated soft discussions around the hall, while Hesper sat in the corner with a stern expression."It seems that Rickard hasn’t come back yet, so something must have happened?" Zoya whispered in Hesper’s ear.Hesper lowered her gaze and then shook it. "I don’t know what’s going on now and I don’t have Camille’s number... But it does seem that he hasn’t returned yet."‘If Rickard had returned, Camille would surely find a way to inform me about it, but it seems that the wedding is about to be postponed...’"That’s Hesper Rivera, right? Isn’t she Rickard Duval’s ex-wife?" The sound of a discussion came from nearby all of a sudden.Hesper and Sylvie glanced in that direction, and the person who was gossiping went silent instantly.Hesper did not want to get involved in this kind of matter, so she immediately retract

Hesper did not dodge the scene, strode into the room, glared straight into Camille’s surprised gaze, walked past her directly, and slapped Rickard so harshly that the crisp sound resounded clearly throughout the whole dressing room."Rickard, is it fun for you to lie to me?"Unable to tell how it felt exactly deep down, Hesper only felt as if she had been teleported back to the night from many years ago when she passed by the baby who was holding the quilt in despair.Times might have changed, but what she got at the end of the day was still utter disappointment.Rickard’s head turned to the side from the slap, and he did not explain himself but only stared at Hesper with an aloof gaze, and this emotion turned into an icicle, which pierced through Hesper’s heart.‘The compromise, the companionship, and the liking and love that came out of his mouth, they’re all fake. And once again, I’m the only one who took everything seriously and actually started considering forgiving him.’Al

On the other side of the city, Hesper went all the way back to her apartment, and the moment she walked through the entrance, she suddenly remembered that she had left Sylvie and Zoya back at the hotel.After sending a text to the two of them, asking them to come back, Hesper felt a little tired, so she sat on the couch and fell asleep in a daze until Sylvie and Zoya came back.Looking at Hesper, who was slumping on the couch and whose cheeks looked extremely flushed, they woke Hesper up in shock."Ms. Lane!"Hesper opened her eyes in a daze, and Sylvie handed her a thermometer. "It seems that you’re having a fever. Take your temperature first."Zoya was even more sensitive and asked directly, "Could it be that Rickard lied to you again? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have forgotten the two of us at the hotel. Now tell me, what happened between you and Rickard?"Hesper could not bother to repeat everything that had happened earlier today. Anyway, Zoya was so smart. She must be able to f

Pulling Renfrew to her side, Hesper’s expression remained cold. "You got kicked out of the house by someone from the Moreaus? If you were to see that person again, would you be able to tell who it is?""Yes," Renfrew responded obediently. Even though he was in a stupor before, he still subconsciously remembered everyone who treated him rudely.Hearing that, Hesper rubbed his head, and her almond eyes were filled with a thick hint of gloom as if they were two bottomless abysses."Those bastards are in no position to bully my son."Hesper gave Jessie a wink, and Jessie immediately understood what she meant and walked to Renfrew’s side. "Ren, let’s go home. Your mommy isn’t feeling too well right now, so let’s wait for her at home while she waits to receive her injection here, okay?"Renfrew nodded and then stared at Hesper with some concern. "Mommy, doesn’t Daddy want me anymore?"Hesper remained silent for a moment, knowing that her response would sound rather cruel to him, and fi

As soon as Camille heard this excuse, she realized that something had gone very wrong. She frowned and withdrew her arm."You better come clean and give me the truth. Did Renfrew really leave by himself, or did you people chase him out?"Having lived with Renfrew during this period of time, Camille had taken a liking to Renfrew. After all, he was a clever boy, a lot smarter than any other children. Not to mention that he was Hesper and Rickard’s son.‘Has she lost her freaking mind?’Thinking of this, Camille took a peek at Rickard and realized that his expression had dimmed.Ermione acted like she could not read the room as she murmured inwardly for a while and then snorted. "We were just worried about your life in the Duvals. If Rickard were to be biased toward that little bastard in the future, what would happen to your future children?""Ermione Moreau, since when did I give you the green light to have a say in my personal business?" Hearing that it was indeed the outcome tha

"Alright, there’s no need for you to explain it to me in detail, I understand, at the end of the day, this is between you two."After going through this incident, Camille already knew that Rickard’s thoughts could not be changed by others. It was not that he did not have any feelings for Hesper, nor was it because his love for her was not enough, but that his personality determined the way he dealt with these matters since the day he was born."If you want to come clean with her someday, you could always drag me along to be your witness and guarantor."Letting off a sigh, Camille stared at Rickard’s silhouette, thought for a moment, and could not help but feel that no matter what Rickard had decided to do, the fact that the Moreaus had driven Renfrew out of the house was still her fault.‘Relying on my status, Ermione’s family has been up to a lot of no good in the past few years. I’ve been turning a blind eye to all their deeds, but they actually had the guts to put their hands in

There were still lists and lists of matters that were waiting for Hesper’s attention back in Emperion. She still had to find a way to deal with Charles, save her mother, and then look for clues from the past in order to find out whether her father was still alive in this world.It was too exorbitant and extravagant for Hesper to spend so much time on her plan to overpower Rickard’s company. All she could think of at the moment was to restrain Rickard’s momentum so that he would not dare to lay his hands on the Lanes and Lane Holdings.‘And our biggest opportunity now lies in the owner of this company, Freddy Stiles.’"Renee, you’re to stay in Genecity during this time to deal with Rickard and let him know that Lane Holdings wants to cooperate with Duval Group again on the Paradise Project." Hesper’s gaze looked sharp. "With Rickard’s vigilance, he might not believe in what you say, but it’s a must for you to hold him back.""But I can’t be at ease if I can’t go to Salt City with yo

"As for me, I’ve always been very easy to get along with and work with, so forming this cooperative relationship as soon as possible will surely be extremely beneficial for both our parties.""Yes, of course, it’s impossible for those in the commercial field to not have heard of your name, Ms. Rivera!"When Freddy’s men saw the cash in the envelopes, all of them had ear-to-ear grins on their faces. "Mr. Stiles will think about your proposal as soon as possible, Ms. Rivera. As for tonight, please get some rest in Salt City for the night first. Mr. Stiles will come back tomorrow to talk about the details of the collaboration with you!"Hesper smiled and did not utter another word, and as soon as those men left, Sylvie closed the door before complaining."It seems that Freddy doesn’t really want to facilitate the formation of this partnership."‘He makes everything look very lively on the surface, showing Ms. Lane his utmost sincerity and respect through the meticulous welcome and as

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
