"If I were you, I wouldn't have just come over unprepared." Nathaniel's voice was no longer warm. The cold tone sounded cynical. "Julian really does have a thing for you, but he won't help you now. He's on my side."Hesper never thought of relying on anyone's love for her to get out of situations, and Nathaniel missed a lot of things because of his ego. For example, that wasn't Hesper's style, and also, she had a tracker on her. If there was no progress until the next day, Zoya would receive a message and bring men over. Her coordinate tracker would be working then; even if it was discarded, they would be able to prove that her disappearance was linked to the Sulzbachs. "I can't trade Ren's life for mine. Do whatever you want." Hesper looked at Nathaniel with determined eyes. "You're looking very pathetic. The people who you're helping could be the culprits behind the hallucinogen incident. You're helping the criminals."If your parents saw what you were doing, they'd probably cl

Or maybe because Hesper had been more anxious lately, that made him forget how careful she usually was. "Alright, I'll speak to Zoya now."Zaylour thought it was funny that Rickard was the one who ended up knowing Hepser best. If Zaylour had to ask Zoya, it meant he wouldn't be able to hide it from her. Zoya was jumping on the other side of the phone when she heard. Zaylour got his ears chewed out before getting the answer. "There's actually a small tracking device and it matches your description. It takes two days before sending out the signal." Zoya pondered about it. "I'm going to check it. I made it so I can find a way to get its coordinates."Even though Zaylour didn't believe that it was that easy, Rickard seemed to be pretty reliable. While waiting for Zoya to check, Zaylour said, "There must be something you couldn't talk about before. Sylvie didn't believe you but when I asked her again, she didn't want to talk about it anymore, so I had a feeling that something was

Rickard kept his frown while Zaylour awkwardly chuckled. "Yes, I forgot to tell you about that. Hesper brought this on us. It's a surprise they didn't attack us during the day.""Ignore him. We need to save Hesper."Rickard couldn't stay too long at Lane Manor because he wasn't a favorite there, and since Hesper took his disguise, he had to stay outside but made sure he could be reached. Watching the moon through the car window, Rickard's eyes were filled with worry. Hesper probably wasn't having a good night. ***Meanwhile, Hesper wasn't having a good night, but Julian finally showed up in the afternoon. Nathaniel toned things down because of Julian's presence, and from the two men's conversation, Hesper found out they were working for the same person, and that person was definitely not Charles Deschamps. "You have Professor Miles too?" Hesper casually said. Julian turned around and looked surprised. "Did he take you under his wing? When I saw him, he looked very excited,

There was no point in bringing any of that up now. What was important was he had no way to communicate with the outside world, and even Hesper was caught. What should they do next?"I want to speak to him alone." Hesper turned to look at Julian. "You've given me medication and I'm too weak to fight back. I just want to speak to him.""Alright." Julian patted her head just like he would in the past, as if nothing was different. "I'll be waiting outside. You haven't seen Professor Miles in a long time, so you should catch up."Julian walked out of the room and closed the door.The soundproofing was great there, but to be on the safe side, Hesper asked in a hushed tone, "The person controlling them is the same person you've been avoiding?"Professor Miles sighed and nodded. "If I knew they were targeting you, I would have told you.""They're involved in the hallucinogen case?"Even though Hesper sounded like she was asking a question, she was already sure. From what she already kne

Zaylour thought that wasn't going to stop an argument. If Renee wasn't angry after that, it was because she had a mild temper. However, Renee had always prioritized Hesper, so even though she wouldn't like the threat Sylvie made, it was effective. She hesitated for a moment then moved away while still looking unhappy. "If you don't bring her back, I won't let you off." Renee scoffed. The two exchanged looks. One of them went to see Rickard while the other went to make a police report. It had been over 24 hours, so things should go smoothly. Zaylour found Rickard and realized he had a lot of men with him. It was evident he came prepared, but it didn't seem to be Rickard's style to just barge into the Sulzbach residence.In his mind, the CEO was calm and collected except when he was faced with Hesper. "Things might get complicated at the residence. You work for Hesper, so you probably could handle a fight. Look for Hesper with me." Rickard handed a gun to Zaylour. "Do you know
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 987
Hesper was curious. "No guns?" How was that possible?"Rickard thought you might want to use the proof to make a police report and say they illegally detained you. On top of the previous cases you were involved in, I'm guessing they'll be locked up for a while." Zaylour's voice wasn't very clear on the other side of the door, but Hesper understood. "Go upstairs and untie them!" Hesper frowned. "They might realize that and give up defending themselves so that it won't look as bad."If that was the case, when the police got there and saw how much of a mess the house was, they would think things weren't as bad as they thought, and since Hesper was saved, it wasn't serious. "Alright." Zaylour didn't ask questions. He knew how smart Hesper and Rickard were, so he was just going to do whatever she said. Hesper stood up and sat on the chair, then sighed. Soon after Zaylour left, Rickard came back with the keys to unlock the doors. "Let's go, Hesper."The light from outside flooded

Ricakrd brought Hepser out of the Sulzbach residence compound. Professor Miles was saved too, but because he was locked up for too long, and he was 'lucid', he was asked to stay for a statement. He relaxed when he saw what went down. When Hesper told him the plan the night before, he wondered how Hesper would make it work, but they actually turned the house upside down. Not only that, even Nathaniel and Julien were dragged in. As Julian was brought out, he caught Professor Mile's eyes. The professor was no longer hateful or disappointed. Julian chose his own path and all Professor Miles could do was watch as he walked into a dead end. ***Even though she wasn't unconscious, Rickard still brought Hesper to the hospital for a check-up to make sure she was fine. "Nathaniel didn't search me." Hesper sounded proud. "Nathaniel is really good at reading people, but I always have a plan."Watching how proud she was, Rickard lowered his head and held her tightly in his arms. Since he

After Camille heard what happened, she quickly got there. She had never had so much time on her hands since she arrived at Halwanest. She was the happiest person to find out the misunderstanding between Hesper and Rickard was resolved.She was playing the bad person here. Hesper saw Camille and knew she had wrongly accused her. The first thing Camille did was to explain that she never sent Renfrew away and it was a relative who didn't know better. Then she continued. "Do you know why Rickard wanted to marry me?"Rickard had the final say in his marriage, so Hesper didn't know why he did that, so she shook her head. Camille looked sombre. "Do you know his mother? Birth mother."Not expecting Camille to know this, she nodded. "He wants to go see his mother… He heard his mother wasn't just any person, so he had to borrow some of the Moreaus' influence."Arms dealing wasn't like other businesses. To outsiders, the Moreaus and Duvals looked like equals, but the Moreaus were holdin

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
