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

"Since Winona is capable of managing a company well, she must be an intelligent woman. By gradually revealing the information to her, she won't remain oblivious," Hesper remarked.Sylvie's efficiency was always commendable, and she quickly found a suitable candidate. However, plans could not keep up with the changes. The next morning, Freddy called Hesper, expressing his agreement to collaborate and mentioning that the person they talked about had also returned.As Hesper listened to the slightly fawning tone in Freddy's voice on the phone, she furrowed her brows. Freddy sensed something amiss and cautiously asked, "Is there anything else, Ms. Lane?"Even though Hesper hoped for a swift conclusion to the collaboration, Freddy's urgency over the phone, insisting on signing the contract that evening, seemed unusual to her. She did not think Xenia's influence over Freddy could dissipate in just a day.Could something have transpired during this brief period to prompt Freddy to change

Freddy's anger abated a little. Xenia was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. In his opinion, she was even multiple times better than the dominating woman back in his house. With that thought in mind, he realized that indulging her a bit more would not hurt. Although he had a vague sense that it was wrong for him to think this way, Freddy became considerably milder in his demeanor and his voice grew softer."It's all because of Rickard and Hesper. I can't fathom what goes on in their minds. Why are they both so obsessed with Salt City?" Freddy sighed. "I think I can't keep my earlier promise to you anymore."Upon hearing this, Xenia immediately sat up straight. "Rickard is also in Salt City?"If it were not for Rickard and Hesper, her sister would not have met such a tragic end. If it were not for them, how could all the riches, prestige, and splendor she once enjoyed in the Duvals have vanished into nothingness? They were solely to blame for everything!"Speaking of which

On the third morning, Hesper decided not to reach out to Freddy but instead went straight to his company. The company was called Stiles & Rismount Tech, a name that once symbolized their union and marriage. However, their relationship was now hanging by a thread."Hello, do you have an appointment?"Hesper took out her business card from her jacket pocket and handed it to the receptionist. After the receptionist glanced at it, her expression changed and she cautiously asked, "Are you here to look for Mr. Stiles, Ms. Lane?" "Nope. I'm here for Mrs. Rismount.""Mrs. Rismount?" The receptionist had not expected that Hesper actually knew who the real person in charge of their company was. Other people always thought it was Freddy, but in reality, it was Winona who took care of their company."Alright, let me call Mrs. Rismount for you." The receptionist nodded and quickly made the call.Hesper nodded, and soon, the receptionist came over and led her upstairs."When Mrs. Rismount h

"Alright, alright," Winona accepted. Even though she didn't know what Freddy meant, from the company's perspective, she wouldn't let go of such a great opportunity, so she brought Hesper to the office. They had a simple discussion which led to Hesper realizing that Winona was a capable person. Letting her run a small company was a waste of her talent. Winona was like two different people when she was working and when she was talking about Freddy. "Other than Duval Group, we're the only ones who could master this skill, but projects that require this skill are scarce." Winona felt as though she had the most precious stone in the world, but no one knew the value of it. "Don't worry, you won't regret working with me." Hesper looked up and the confidence she exuded made Winona pause. After a moment, Winona smiled and praised her. "I heard that you're very good at what you do, and I can see that they're right.""I can say the same about you," Hesper casually replied, but it made

Turning around, Winona looked at Hesper. Hesper's eyes were filled with confidence. "If you believe me, then accept my offer. I'll show you all the proof you need tonight.""Alright." Winona nodded, but she didn't hesitate this time. "I accept. If Freddy really lied to me, I have no reason to restrict my future for him."Hesper smiled widened when she saw how quickly Winona got it. If someone like her could work for her, it would greatly help her. When she left Stiles & Rismount Tech, Sylvie had the car waiting for her. She knew their plan worked when she saw Hesper's expression as she got into the car, so she said, "I've arranged for the plan tonight. Freddy will show up.""Good." Hesper nodded but paused, then said, "Why would he suddenly change his mind? Have you found anything from your investigation?""Not yet." Sylvie shook her head and started the car, but quickly continued. "Even though there's not much progress, we have a lead. After we left the other day, someone went t
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 953
Freddy had been frustrated recently because of Hesper. Even though he still thought Xenia was very pretty when he looked at her, he was much more level-minded when she wasn't around. Xenia was only interested in his money and not him. He never thought he would bump into someone who looked so much like Xenia but with no temper when he went to a bar one day. There were a few thugs standing around her, but when Freddy walked closer to her, they walked away and left her alone. She looked at him and thought he saved her. He loved how she needed him because that was a feeling both Winona and Xenovia didn't give. The woman looking so much like Xenia made things even better. When Freddy found out she was a poor orphan and could only work at the bar, he felt bad for her and went to the bar more. After Hesper found out the whole story from Sylvie, she nodded. She had to admit that Sylvie was better than her when it came to this because she wouldn't have done things so well. They

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
