"But haven’t you thought about it? What if Rickard disagrees with the plan?"Hesper looked at Camille with her bold gaze. Although she dared not say that she knew Rickard the best, Rickard did not think to bring her in the first place under such circumstances probably because he did not want her to go.Camille also understood this, but she could only apologize as she envied that Hesper was always considered by others. "I’ll persuade Rickard, as long as you agree to the plan.""Yes, I agree."Camille nodded and continued softly. "Thank you, Hesper. If you need help in the future, no matter what, the Moreaus will surely be the first in line to lend you a helping hand. As long as I’m still in office, the Moreaus will never do anything to harm you.""Okay, this is the price that you put forward voluntarily."Although achieving her personal goal was what she wanted all this while, getting such an offer in return was a future guarantee for Hesper.‘Whether I’m doing it willingly or no

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Rickard standing at the door openly."Rickard?"Hesper was a little surprised and could not bother to ask him why he was here. She only wanted to know how Rickard entered the residence.‘Wouldn’t Matthew let the dogs out and ask them to destroy Rickard as soon as he saw him three miles away from the Lanes’ ancestral residence?’Rickard seemed to know what Hesper was thinking and was a little speechless, but he still lifted the mask in his hand and showed it to her.It turned out that he was under disguise and had trespassed the mansion at night.Hesper could not help but find it a little funny. She nodded, then instantly came back to her senses, straightened her expression, and asked, "You came here to talk about the plan to visit your mother’s family together, right?""Yes."Rickard’s expression looked indifferent, but Hesper could still see a faint trace of rejection.‘Camille must’ve talked to him about this, but

Although the main reason why Hesper wanted to go with him was to find her father, she genuinely wanted to go through and overcome those challenges with him when she said so, and she was truly not afraid.Looking at Hesper’s sincere gaze, Rickard took her into his arms."Okay, we’ll go together."Feeling the difference between Rickard and his past self, Hesper felt a little guilty. She knew that her words had caused Rickard to feel that he had been firmly chosen but she had her own agenda in mind too.‘I’m sorry...’Hesper sighed inwardly, then closed her eyes....When the next day came, Hesper said goodbye to Matthew in a hurry. Although Matthew was a little annoyed that he was the last to know about this trip, he would support Hesper no matter what she wanted to do. In addition to that, it was better than being cautious and on guard at the Lanes manor all day every day, looking out for those bastards who wanted to kill her."Will you be back home to celebrate your birthday?"

Hesper had never thought that she had been treated with such affection, partiality, and caution all this while, but now that she knew she had been showered with all of this, she could not help but feel guilty."The days to come might be extremely difficult." After getting on the plane, Rickard reminded Hesper, "This family is very mysterious. Even though my mother is from the family, I actually don’t know much about them."With so many strange treaties, Hesper had known that the family would not be a family to be trifled with, so she nodded.The two of them sat on the plane peacefully, and Hesper thought about a lot of things at first, but her eyelids started to get heavier and heavier and she fell asleep directly, and the same was also true for Rickard who was sitting beside her.While being trapped in a trance, Hesper felt that something had gone wrong, so she turned her head and looked in Rickard’s direction, and after realizing that he had also lost consciousness, she was sure

Hesper had been observing this person all this while, so she naturally met his gaze through the rearview mirror. This person’s eyes did not give off any hint of malicious intent, and it only took a split second for the other party to withdraw his gaze."Do you people welcome happily-married couples home with open hands?" Hesper seemed to be asking the men in front unintentionally, but neither the driver who seemed very friendly nor the man in black who had been silent all this time said anything in response, as if they were subconsciously ignoring Hesper's question.Seeing this, Hesper turned her head, and Rickard nodded slightly.Although she did not get an answer, their attitudes showed her that what she said was not wrong.‘Why would this strange family have such a rule? Is it just to let their flesh and blood who are wandering in the outside world bring their lover back? But what benefits can good relationships bring them?’Hesper could not understand, but there was not much t

"Savatier."The two followed the young man all the way to the main building. In fact, the scenery on the side of the corridors was nothing to look at. It might be a little surprising to any ordinary people, but to Hesper and Rickard, it was nothing more than a behavior that filthy rich people had in order to burn some cash."The two of you can go in now, but I can’t go in with you." The boy bowed slightly. "If you manage to stay in the Savatiers, I’ll be your future attendant. My name is A. You can summon me at any time in the future."Hesper nodded when she heard his explanation. He could be said to be very frank and straightforward. Although they had traveled all the way here, it did not mean that they could really stay at the end of the day.‘We can only guarantee ourselves a spot in the family after passing the unknown challenges waiting for us on the other side of the door.’Although Hesper did not know what kind of test they would have to go through, she knew they had to tak

"It seems that you’re very interested in the newbie, so I’m betting all my money on the fact that interesting things are bound to take place here in the near future."The old man turned his head and looked at her helplessly. "You also know that they are all your juniors, so stop being so playful and try to get along with them... Perhaps they’re the people that I’m looking for.""Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."Quincey Savatier recalled the glance of that woman on the other end of the screen. He obviously had not seen her before, and she looked very unfamiliar too, but she somehow managed to give him a very familiar feeling.‘Maybe it’s because it’s been a long time since the last time I met such an alert lady.’...Hesper and Rickard were still thinking about how long they would have to stay there, but they suddenly heard a faint noise coming from above. Both of them raised their heads sharply at the same time and saw a woman slowly sashaying out from the end of the corridor

It was only after Hesper left that she realized something. "Could the so-called test be those luxury items in the room just now?" she asked.Rickard looked at Hesper, his face clouded with confusion. After excluding all other possibilities, Hesper arrived at the most probable conclusion. "There were cameras in the room. It's highly possible that they were observing our every move from the rooms on the second floor."Many of the people coming in from outside are probably here for the prosperity and wealth of the Savatiers." On second thought, it seemed rather pitiful for such a grand family to start off by inspecting their own descendants for potential thievery."Although the Savatiers don't seem dangerous at the moment, I'm pretty sure they're hiding something from us," Rickard said, his brows furrowing slightly as he lowered his gaze. "We need to be prepared at all times."Hesper nodded. Looking at Rickard's concerned eyes, she wanted to say something to comfort him, but A

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
