Rickard, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. Hearing the information from Rickard, Hesper turned around and responded.Rickard then continued, "We should’ve entered Sophia’s monitoring now. The camera at the corner looks like a very new model, so it can’t be the property of this building."Indeed, if one were to pay careful attention to the environment here, dilapidation and backwardness were the only two characteristics that would catch one’s eye. Even if there was a surveillance camera, it was mostly a useless piece of gadget that was set up just for show, let alone a brand new camera.Naturally, the building did not have an elevator either. However, fortunately, the old apartment was not high, and there were only six floors in total. The two reached the top floor very quickly, only to meet a wide-open door as if the owner of the property did not intend to take any precaution at all.Seeing that, Hesper became more vigilant and subconsciously took a glance at Ricka

"My mother and I saved your life more than twenty years ago, and Mr. Duval Sr. promised us that he’d give us a lifetime’s worth of status and wealth. However, you chose to give up on us just because of Hesper Rivera. What can I say about that?" Wiping away the tears that were rolling down her cheeks, Sophia’s gaze turned cold. "You’re going to give us a new identity, send us abroad, and give us a large sum of money. This is what you owe us as repayment."Hesper could not understand what Sophia was saying all of a sudden.‘Could it be that... both Julie and Sophia aren't related to Rickard by blood at all?’Feeling some disbelief, Hesper turned and stared at Rickard, who agreed to Sophia’s terms. "I came here personally today because I want to bring this absurdity that’s been going on for the past twenty years to an end."You did save my life back then, and I’m grateful for that. But you’ve affected my life in all ways possible, and you’ve brought a lot of harm to the people around
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 964
After getting to know some of Rickard’s secrets, Hesper was still a little confused. She had seen his father’s tomb, but after so many years, she had never heard rumors saying that Rickard was not Julie’s biological son.Now that she knew about it, looking at the two, the two of them indeed did not resemble each other.‘If this is the case, he tolerated Julie and Sophia’s misbehavior probably because of the reason that Sophia mentioned. Then what about Rickard’s biological mother? If she’s not dead, where is she now?’"Hesper?"Zaylour’s voice dragged Hesper out of the trance that she was in, and Hesper came back to her senses, only to find that Renfrew had woken up at some point earlier and was staring at her timidly in her arms."Renfrew Duval, I advise you to not put on an innocent look now." Zoya gritted her teeth and gave off a fake sneer across from him. "If it weren't for you sneaking out, why would we be here now?"Isaac has been protecting you 24/7. Who knew that you'd b

‘Money, the only thing that’s going to stay with me...’Thinking about this, Sophia’s footsteps became brisker and brisker, but the smile on her face stiffened and froze in the next second.Staring at the person in front of her, Sophia’s face instantly paled. She took two steps backward and stammered. "Why are you... I kidnapped Renfrew as you ordered. You’re the one who came late, causing him to have been taken away."The person laughed, and one could vaguely tell that the voice belonged to a young man, and he was also the one who left the key to help Sophia escape the basement.However, at this time, the voice sounded extremely indifferent to Sophia."I let you out in the first place only because you were still worth something."Before Sophia had time to explain herself, a bullet had already entered her forehead, pierced through her head, and burst out of the back of her skull in an instant. The flattering smile on her face froze. It would never change again."You useless piec

Hesper reckoned that Ernest must have been missing her a lot all this while, and what Wendy said was just to make her worry less. Even so, a trace of guilt could still be seen in her facial expression.All the tasks on hand had been overlapping with each other. Another would come up just as the previous one got resolved, and if it was not for the fact that she wanted to ask Ernest about what had happened back then, Hesper might still not have the time to come to see Ernest in person."Mr. Duval Sr. is always delighted whenever you youngsters have the time to come back to visit him." Wendy seemed to have seen through what Hesper was thinking and comforted her with a smile. "There’s no need to feel guilty. All elderly are the same; they only hope for what’s best for the kids."When the two entered the room, Wendy turned around and said, "Mr. Duval Sr. is in his room. I’ll go and pour you two some hot ginger tea. It’s very easy to catch a cold during this season, so you should wear thi

"I’ll go and fetch you a mug of ginger tea." Seeing Rickard’s rather ill-looking expression, Wendy felt a little puzzled. "You're usually in great condition. How did you catch a cold this year during this change of season? I'll pack some ingredients for you to bring home when you leave so you can get the kitchen crew to brew some for you.""Okay, thanks, Aunt Curie."Rickard frowned and coughed twice. He was not paying much attention to his health these few days, and he also thought that he would not fall sick so easily, so he did not care much, but he did not expect to feel a little under the weather and dizzy today either.Wendy waved her hands, thinking that now that Rickard was here, she would have no way to go back looking for Hesper and Ernest again, so she would have to wait until Hesper was about to leave to pass her two packs of the ingredients.Thinking of this, Wendy sighed.‘It’s obvious that these two kids are so close to each other, but why would they seem so far awa

"Thank you for everything today, Grandpa. The information that you’ve given me is very crucial, and I know that this is all you can tell me."After knowing that the hallucinogenic drug incident was linked to such a behemoth, Hesper more or less understood the reason why they had been at a loss all this while. The party that they were trying to investigate might be at a level that they had never dreamed of laying their hands on before.‘We must find a way to get in touch with the people from that social level in order for us to make new progress.’Ernest waved his hand, and Hesper pursed her lips, making up her mind to go back and immediately start investigating the matter more meticulously, as this was indeed a breakthrough point. However, before she could open her mouth, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside all of a sudden.Both Hesper and Ernest turned their heads and looked in the direction of the door at the same time, only to see Rickard standing at the door,

Hesper took a glance at Rickard, and she did not even try to conceal the coldness in her eyes. "I think I heard everything very clearly when I was in Emperion, and I should’ve made myself very clear back then that that was it for whatever was left between us."The expression on Rickard’s face completely disappeared. Although he usually had his signature cold expression on most of the time, this was his first time ever being expressionless."Hesper, you better know what you’re talking about."With a sneer, Hesper took half a step closer. "Of course, I’m always sure what I’m talking about. Oh yeah, I should wish you and Ms. Moreau a happy marriage. I hope you’ll stay happy for the years to come."After saying so, Hesper did not give Rickard any chance to speak anymore and walked past him and out of the room without looking back.At this moment, Wendy and Ernest were both standing outside the door, eavesdropping. When they saw Hesper striding out of the room, they immediately stood u

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
