Chapter 1051

"Hesper Rivera, watch that sarcastic and cynical tone of yours."Just by looking at Hesper’s smiling face, Delphine could not help but want to stride up to her and tear her face off her head, not to mention the impertinence that she was blatantly giving off.Delphine could never gain an upper hand over Hesper whenever it came to trash-talking, coupled with the fact that Hesper had managed to poke her where it hurt the most before. Now that they were standing next to each other, even though she was the one who was gracefully and gorgeously dressed, she still somehow felt that she had been overwhelmed.It only took Hesper one glance to see through what Delphine was thinking. She did not even bother wasting time on Delphine—— Among all the women who had fallen for Rickard up until today, Delphine was actually the one who was the least scheming. She had nothing on Hesper apart from her extremely esteemed family background."The Grand Interfamily Tournament is just around the corner, He

All Rickard did at this moment was stare at Hesper as she analyzed everything with a frown.Hesper went on for a while and realized that Rickard was not even paying attention to what she was saying but staring at her face instead. He probably wasn't listening to anything that she was saying at all, so she could not help but feel a little helpless. "Then do enlighten me. What should we do if the hidden foundation that you’ve spent a great effort building from the ground up were to be exposed?"Hearing Hesper’s words, Rickard came back to his senses. "There’s nothing else I can do. All I wanted was to come back as fast as I could so that I could see you soon."If it was someone else, Hesper would probably feel that this person was only being glib and flirtatious, but the person in front of her was Rickard, so whatever came out of his mouth was surely authentic.‘This fella didn’t even hesitate to risk exposure, just so that he could come back to see me two days earlier.’Realizing t

Hesper arrived a little late that day, but Quincey did not delve into the reason. And because of the trust that had been accumulating in the past few days, Quincey lowered his guard slightly, so he did not even notice the momentary absent-mindedness that flashed across Hesper’s eyes.It had always been clear to Hesper that A was a cheat whose sole objective was to take advantage of her—— But now she knew she could meet her father.Although she was a little absent-minded, Hesper had already gone through all the details of the treatment earlier that morning, so the state of her mind did not delay anything. The treatment went on until the evening when she left in a daze.On her way back, Hesper picked up her scattered emotions so that Rickard would not see anything unusual.‘Until I meet Father, I still can’t be sure that A hasn’t lied to me.’Hesper comforted herself inwardly.In the blink of an eye, the Grand Interfamily Tournament had finally arrived."You should be extremely ca

‘But this is about right... Rickard doesn’t seem to be the kind of man who’d be nervous during such critical times.’After punishing herself with a shot for worrying too much, Juliette could not help but take a deep breath to relieve the tension in her chest. Although she thought of comforting Rickard, she was the one who needed comforting.Although there was basically no hope for the Savatiers in winning that year’s Grand Interfamily Tournament, this was Juliette’s first time appearing in front of the other major clans as the backbone of the Savatiers, and she was in charge of leading the family at this competition. Seeing how Rickard behaved so calmly by her side, it made her feel a lot more steady deep down subconsciously."There’s no need for you to worry about Delphine. She won’t have the guts to act so presumptuously in another few days." Juliette sounded rather secretive. "Since the Mustafas are going to arrive here tomorrow."Rickard already knew a thing or two about Leafde

At this moment, Hesper suddenly felt a little ridiculous.As if he finally sensed Hesper’s emotions, Benjamin explained, "I wasn't always able to move as freely as I currently can. I was locked up by the Savetiers until two months ago, so I couldn’t send any news back to the Lanes before."Hearing this, Hesper lifted her gaze. "Are you saying… that the Savatiers are the ones who locked you up?"Benjamin nodded.Hesper frowned. "Are you sure? Did the Savatiers really lock you up? And if so, who did it?"Hearing Hesper’s words, Benjamin gave off a faint smile. "What’s the matter? Don’t you believe in what your father is telling you? You’ve only stayed with the Savatiers for a month, so can you be sure that you really know the Savatiers and Quincey Savatier as well as you think you do?”Hesper was silent for a moment, knowing that her understanding of the Savatiers was probably only superficial. However, during her time with the Savatiers, she indeed had gradually and subconsciously

It was probably time for Benjamin to leave, so he did not say anything more and left the courtyard in a hurry.Seeing Benjamin’s figure disappear from her line of sight and into the darkness, Hesper finally dropped her disguise and sat down on the couch without moving a muscle for a while, feeling a little bewildered.Benjamin’s words had started to affect her thoughts. She subconsciously felt that he was hiding something from her. But he was her father by blood after all, and according to everyone’s previous descriptions about him, Benjamin had always loved his wife and child very much, so he would not have lied to her.‘So, the hallucinogenic drug incident from back then... Do the Savatiers really have something to do with it?’...The next day, it was almost time for the Grand Interfamily Tournament to begin.The legendary Mustafas arrived at the venue late, arriving only minutes before the start of the straws drawing ceremony. And when they arrived, Rickard and Juliette were

"I see." Ranfik nodded, and the corners of his lips curled upward slightly. "Then we shall look forward to the Savatiers’ performance in this tournament. Mr. Duval is certainly a very interesting person. If there’s a chance, perhaps we can become friends."Rickard was sure that he had never met Ranfik; he had never appeared in person to deal with his businesses on Leafdelle Island. Most people who had seen him only saw the mask that he had been wearing.So why would Ranfik regard him with special attention?After saying so, Ranfik led his men and passed by Rickard. The gazes of everyone present naturally shifted away.Juliette asked doubtfully, "Have you met Ranfik Mustafa before? He never addressed me as Aunt Juliette before, let alone stopped to chat with someone."Rickard frowned without turning his head to take another glance at Ranfik like everyone else. "No, I've never seen him before.""...Okay, that’s rather weird."Hearing this, Rickard turned his head and glanced at Ra

Hesper had never thought about it. At first, she only wanted to help Rickard get further and higher in the Savatier family. Then, she just wanted to keep her promise to him. Hence, she was at a loss when facing the question."If possible, all I want is to live my life in peace." Hesper thought of Renfrew, Matthew, and her mother, and sighed after a short while. "Forget it. I haven’t thought about this just yet. We’ll talk about it when you make a full recovery.”...When the time came, Hesper met Benjamin again.This time around, Benjamin seemed to be in a hurry as if he had just rushed over here from somewhere else, and he gave off a smile as soon as he saw Hesper. "Thank God I didn’t arrive late, and it seems that my little girl is very punctual."His tone sounded overly intimate, so Hesper responded sternly, "Punctuality is the most basic quality one should have, isn’t it? There’s no need for you to make a big deal out of it.""You’re right." Benjamin took two steps forward an

"This is only our second meeting, so I still don’t fully trust you, but I do believe in the authenticity of this document." Hesper put the documents down and said frankly, "I’ll tamper with Quincey’s treatment on the last day. I... I won’t cure him."Hearing Hesper’s response, Benjamin nodded in satisfaction. "This is great. I’m glad that you were able to figure this out."I also know that I, as a father, haven’t been competent enough when it comes to upholding my role, so it’s understandable that you still don’t trust me. But as soon as we put the Savatiers’ undying wish to develop the hallucinogenic drug out, we’ll have plenty of time to get along." While saying so, Benjamin stared at Hesper sincerely. "I had imagined what you'd look like before I met you the other day, but when the moment came and I got to finally see you, that was when I truly felt the guilt that’s been buried at the bottom of my heart."Hesper, I’ll definitely be a great father after all this."...At the ven

When it came time to draw lots, Ranfik appeared in front of the public once again. In order to establish a better image for Rickard, Juliette asked him to go out there to draw lots. That was how the two met each other again.Ranfik still had his polite look, and the corners of his lips curled upward when he met Rickard’s gaze. "We meet again, Mr. Duval.""We’re all here to take part in the Grand Interfamily Tournament, so don’t you think it’s rather difficult for you two to not meet each other while we’re here?" Sharmila passed by, looking a little dissatisfied. "Cut all this crap and come to me after the ceremony is over."At Sharmila’s rude choice of words, there was not even the slightest hint of anger on Ranfik’s face. It looked as if he was very lenient and doting to his sister as he nodded helplessly.As soon as Sharmila left him be, Ranfik turned his head around helplessly. "That was very rude of my sister. I hope you won’t mind her, Mr. Duval."Rickard looked at Ranfik and
