The sunlight was shining on the curtains while Hesper stared closely out the window, and suddenly, a red dot streaked across the edge of the window, but it was only for a split second. One would not have noticed it if they were not looking very closely."Calling the police will only scare them away. What we must do today is to capture those snipers."Hesper calculated the angle of the potential shot, walked from her original seat into the shadow, then took out two small bottles from her backpack. She handed one of them to Zaylour and said, "Take this with you. One tiny inhale would knock a full-grown cow out instantly.""...Do you plan to knock the snipers out and bring them back here directly?" Zaylour took the small bottle from Hesper and took a closer look at it cautiously. "Then what if I accidentally inhale some?"Of course, Hesper would not let such a stupid outcome happen, so she took out another bottle from an interlayer of the backpack. "This is the antidote. Take it now a

Something flickered across Hesper's eyes as she pushed open the door to the stairwell."Ms. Rivera," a voice came from close behind her. Almost instantly, her back tensed as she heard the sound of a gun being cocked, followed by its chilling presence pressed against her lower back."Do you feel a sense of familiarity in this scene?" Xander chuckled. "You've once held a gun against me in a similar manner before, remember? You even fired a shot at me. Ah, the memory of that pain has stayed with me for a long time."Hesper lightly tapped her upper teeth with her tongue and responded with a faint laugh. "Mr. Blackwood, has anyone ever mentioned to you that you have a peculiar way of expressing things? It almost gives the impression that you have a crush on me.""The feeling is somewhat similar," he replied.Suddenly, Hesper turned her head around, catching Xander off guard. If he had not reacted quickly, he might have pulled the trigger."Mr. Blackwood, do you know there's a saying t

"I've been targeted by some people recently who want to kill me. I don't know who these people are, but they are armed," Hesper said. A silent understanding passed between the police officers as they exchanged glances. Even minor offenses were considered serious in a small city like Salt City, so they knew that the magnitude of this case required assistance from Emperion."Alright, Ms. Rivera, we have noted down your situation," one of the officers assured her. Hesper nodded and had Sylvie see off the police. Turning to Zaylour, she said, "Xander and the others will probably take some time to regain consciousness. Now that we've captured them, we cannot let them escape again.""I didn't expect your medicine to work so well," Zaylour remarked, taking a gulp of water. "Who would have thought that this trip to Salt City would yield such rewards? If Xander wakes up, he'll probably be furious."Hesper pondered silently without responding. She was certain that Xander knew more than the

"Probably," said Zaylour as he grew impatient. "I detest those who deliberately stand others up. If we were in Fredonia, I'd send them straight to hell with a bullet, and they would be right on time."Speechlessly, Hesper rubbed her temples.Fortunately, Freddy did not make them wait for too long. If he did, not only would it ruin their business dealings, but his company would suffer as well. Freddy entered and promptly offered a polite apology. Unaware that in Fredonia, his fate would be sealed along with his business, Freddy took a seat with a smile, showing no signs of remorse. "I had some matters to attend to before coming here. I've heard rumors of Ms. Rivera's extraordinary beauty, but I didn't expect it to be so breathtaking."Hesper did not expect him to comment on her appearance right off the bat. She paused for a moment, then curved her eyes into a smile and commented, "I've heard of Mr. Stiles's charm and that you're particularly popular among women. Now I see that most

'That's not the power of the Lanes. That's the power of money,' Zaylour thought. However, regardless of the reason, Hesper instantly made him understand why Freddy was so afraid of her. "So, we'll keep waiting until Freddy has no choice but to compromise?""Of course not," Hesper replied. She paused for a moment, feeling the chill in Salt City as autumn approached. "A few days ago, when I was going through the files, I discovered that although Freddy appears to be the representative of the company, the person who truly holds the key to the company's core technology is his wife.""No wonder he hasn't divorced her yet. Turns out he wants to continue living off her," Zaylour sneered, feeling somewhat disdainful. After a moment, he remembered something. "Xander and the other person have regained consciousness. I just received a message from Sylvie, and I forgot to tell you."Hesper sighed helplessly and shook her head. "Let's go."Little did Hesper know that after she and Zaylour l

Freddy was stunned.*Meanwhile, Hesper and Zaylour arrived at a small villa on the outskirts of the city. It was practically impossible to hide two individuals in a hotel, so Hesper had Sylvie move them here this morning."Xander has been silent all along, while the other one did speak but didn't say anything useful."Hesper nodded. "You don't need to come in, Sylvie. Lil' Six, come with me," she instructed."Alright."Inside the room, Xander was tightly bound with his hands and feet securely tied. The knots had been skillfully tied by Hesper, so even someone like Xander could not free himself. Additionally, Hesper had taken precautions by administering a drug to weaken his physical strength."So, you prefer to meet in this manner, Ms. Rivera. It seems my previous methods were too gentle," Xander remarked.With a smile on her face, Hesper sat in front of Xander and said, "At this point, there's no need for formalities. Regarding the person behind you, it would be best if you

Putting Xander aside, Hesper turned around and said, "Freddy's weakness still lies with that woman. Sylvie, have you found out who accompanied Freddy to the hotel that day?""Yes, I did," Sylvie replied as she nodded. "Freddy's situation is quite predictable because the woman in question is Xenia, the younger sister of Zenovia. She was the one who initially clashed with you over Mr. Pisano, remember?"'Xenia?'Truth be told, Hesper had almost forgotten about her. She furrowed her brows slightly. "So, it was Xenia who persuaded Freddy not to cooperate with the Lanes? He's willing to jeopardize the benefit of his entire company for the sake of a woman?""Based on the current information, that seems to be the case," Sylvie replied sternly. "After breaking up with Mr. Pisano, Xenia became Freddy's lover. Freddy has showered her with affection all along, so if she truly wanted to obstruct the cooperation, it's highly likely that Freddy would comply."Hesper was surprised that Freddy wo

"Anyway, just do as I say. Stop asking so many questions." Xenia glared at Freddy but then realized that she should treat him a bit better as well. She cleared her throat and said, "I haven't checked out of the hotel from yesterday yet."Upon hearing about the hotel from yesterday, Freddy's heart grew uneasy. Hesper and her companions were staying there. Although the hotel was quite large and the chances of running into them were slim, the thought of engaging in such illicit behavior made him nervous."Forget it, let's go somewhere else."As Freddy's face showed signs of anxiety, Xenia rolled her eyes inwardly but maintained a calm demeanor on the surface."Fine, fine, let's do as you say."*Sylvie acted swiftly and obtained the transaction records of the money transferred from Freddy to Xenia on the same day. In just two months, the amount of money given away was enough to buy a luxury house in the best district of Salt City. Although they did not know how much profit Freddy'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

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
