Semua Bab A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Bab 1711 - Bab 1720

It was true that the assistance they had received earlier had likely been arranged by Cheney, probably at Vivienne's request. Otherwise, Hesper might not have received any help during Cheney's "test." A hint of helplessness appeared in Cheney's eyes as she began, "It's about your brother's engagement to Dianthe Bayless. If it's not resolved soon, I fear Vivienne will be the first to lose her composure."There was no need to elaborate on how much Vivienne cared for Matthew. Hesper shared some concerns, but since Matthew was staying with her in Montequinto, he certainly wouldn't marry Dianthe anytime soon."While I will indeed take action to terminate the engagement between Dianthe and Matthew, I can't force him into a relationship with Vivienne if he doesn't care for her, can I?" Hesper sighed and rubbed her forehead. "I can handle everything else but can't manipulate matters concerning his feelings."There wasn't much to add to this matter, and Cheney clearly understood. However, sh

And it was his to keep.Rickard nodded. "I'll be waiting for you."Though they both understood the risks involved, neither would blame the other. Sometimes, happiness comes at a price. They could only hope for a smooth and safe outcome in this precarious situation.Without further hesitation, Hesper returned to her room.For over 20 years of living without her parents, for the life Asher had sacrificed, and for all the others affected, especially those who had lost their lives and happiness due to the hallucinogenic drugs.Hesper had never imagined she would become such a selfless person, but despite the countless challenges and dangers ahead, she pressed forward.Early the next morning, Benji opened the door to Hesper's room, and as expected, she was gone.Rickard had specifically asked him to come, and Benji complied with determination. When Cheney had revealed the mole's identity, Benji had been the first to disbelieve. After all, she was someone he loved and had once held cl

Hesper's hope rested on the absence of unforeseen circumstances. As she sensed the car's speed gradually slowing down, she couldn't help but sigh. Her heightened perceptual abilities resulted from her previous stay in the small dark room."We're almost there." Sullivan's voice came beside Hesper, confirming her thoughts. Despite this, she remained silent until the car finally came to a slow stop, and Sullivan pulled back the curtains on the car window.Indeed, the sun was almost setting on the horizon, signifying the passage of a whole day. Hesper couldn't help but feel concerned about the long distance they had covered, worrying that those following them might struggle to catch up or that unforeseen events could occur.However, her concerns were alleviated as she turned her head and saw a tiny firework explode in the distance, not far away. It was a signal they had agreed upon—if everything was going as planned, they would set off a small firework.While not the most secure method

Taking the elevator to the basement, Hesper's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster. Despite knowing countless people were watching them from outside, the current situation was still relatively optimistic. However, probably because this matter had involved a lot of things over a long time, she still felt a little uneasy deep down when standing in front of the door."Where is the password device?" Caesar asked somewhat anxiously.Sullivan shook his head, glanced at Hesper standing beside him, and smirked. "We don’t have a password device, but we do have someone who’s memorized every single digit of the password."It seemed quite absurd. The password was known to contain hundreds of digits, which was why they had not been able to crack it over the years. So how could someone possibly memorize it digit by digit from start to finish?A hint of skepticism flashed across Caesar’s eyes. Seeing this put Sullivan in a good mood, so he explained, "She has hyperthymesia. Forget about t

Sherese was completely unable to speak; her eyes filled with tears, and seeing this tugged at Hesper's heart.It appeared that Sherese's situation during this period wasn't as they had imagined. Sullivan must have tied her up and restrained her because she hadn't been cooperative."Why not let Sherese and Ms. Rivera have a few words?" Sullivan said with an emotionless expression.The people beside Sherese understood the message and removed the cloth from her mouth. Sherese then shouted, "Don't worry about me. Stick to your plan! Leave me be!"Hesper frowned, and Sullivan turned his hawk-like eyes toward her."This is quite the sisterly bond, isn't it?" Sullivan slightly lowered his voice. "Unlock the vault now, Hesper Rivera, or I'll end Sherese right here. I don't mind going down with you."I will get this vault unlocked, and I will get my hands on what's inside."...The situation outside was even more tumultuous and explosive than what was happening inside.Rickard blended
