Chapter 1731

Hesper was well aware of the live broadcast; otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted much attention. She also understood that people couldn't help but suspect her since everything was broadcast live. To divert suspicion, she deliberately presented herself as vulnerable, hoping everyone would believe Sullivan had escaped with the item. If anyone took a moment to reflect, they would surely notice something amiss. After so many days and so many people involved, the existence of this special task force would become futile if they couldn't discern the truth.Hesper cast a cautious glance at Archie but refrained from admitting that she possessed the drugs. Despite their reliability, the nature of the drug made Hesper uneasy, and she wouldn't feel at ease unless it was in her possession. She said, "You wouldn't believe me if I claimed not to have it. You came here because you're convinced I possess it."Archie felt a bit embarrassed but nodded in agreement. "That's true. We believe you have

"I should make it clear because it's in both our best interests," Hesper said, fixing her gaze on Archie. "I can't be certain that everyone in your task force won't be tempted by the advantages the drug offers. Given your expertise, you're aware that this hallucinogen has driven countless individuals to madness precisely because of the benefits it provides. Everyone desires a piece of it, despite its harmful nature."Archie nodded earnestly. "I'm aware."Although the special task force members were like brothers to him, having faced difficult situations together, Archie couldn't guarantee their honesty. He had witnessed individuals committing unforgivable crimes, people who were considered good neighbors, parents, and sons. However, when confronted with temptation, they transformed beyond recognition.The significance of this item couldn't be overstated. If it were to leak, it would plunge the entire world into chaos. Archie couldn't even fathom such a scenario, which made him under

If they rejected her proposal, they would be left without a plan."We should leave. I'll tell you about it later."***Hesper relayed her conversation with Archie to everyone after meeting with Professor Miles. Matthew silently listened, and with the outcome uncertain, it felt like a sword hanging over their heads. Hesper couldn't make a decision, so they were left to fate."This is the latest formula, Professor Miles," Hesper said as she handed over the carefully guarded drug to the professor, whose expression turned grave. Everyone's eyes followed the item in her hand because they understood its significance."Why can't we just destroy it?" Isaac sighed. "Wouldn't everything end once it's destroyed?"Hesper sighed and explained, "If there's no antidote for this, someone will make it their mission to recreate it for profit. They will invest considerable time and resources into replicating it. This vial of the drug serves as evidence. The owner of the chemical plant couldn't obta

Hesper was focused on protecting what she carried and had never been selfish. However, she couldn't ignore the fact that they had left her for dead, and that had been their choice. So, they shouldn't be annoyed at Hesper's choice to keep her distance from them.But as Hesper stood there, her expression softened, and she simply said, "I'm back, Mom and Dad."Elise and Benjamin's eyes welled up with tears; they had not expected her to address them that way. Hesper was tired and didn't know how to feel about them. Her life meant little compared to the thousands of others. Her parents had given her life, so in a way, they had the right to control her life and death, but she couldn't easily come to terms with it.After countless decisions, she kept moving further away from them. Matthew understood what Hesper might be thinking, so he stood before her and said sternly, "Leave Hesper alone. She's not in her best shape and was on a long flight. We should let her rest."Upon hearing this,

They had received approval for Hesper's proposal."Did they agree to my idea?" Hesper asked.Archie didn't beat around the bush and immediately replied, "Yes, but there's a small request. Our partnership will commence this afternoon if you agree.""Tell me," Hesper said, understanding that they wouldn't agree to her terms easily, considering the importance of the item she held. Trust would not come readily."It's nothing major. They want to send an expert to collaborate with you and your professor," Archie explained.Archie made it sound straightforward, but Hesper realized the significance of this request. They hadn't reached an agreement initially due to mutual distrust. Sending someone to work alongside them would mean sharing progress and knowledge about the drug while closely monitoring Professor Miles to ensure he didn't tamper with it. It was a form of control over their freedom.Hesper pressed her tongue behind her teeth and accepted the request. "I don't have any other c

Given the risky move made by the higher-ups, Hesper took a deep breath and decided to take a chance. They were backed into a corner. Professor Miles noticed that some people didn't know what to do with the drug upon seeing it because they lacked knowledge about its structure. In the past, they had Vitalis as a key component, but the hallucinogen in its current form posed a significant challenge on its own. Breaking free from their reliance on Vitalis, the previous version seemed like child's play compared to this upgraded iteration.Delaying their efforts could lead to more significant problems down the line."Alright, I agree," Hesper stated firmly, ending her hesitation. "You're the leader of the special task force?""Yes," the person on the other end replied quickly, relieved that Hesper had promptly agreed. "You can call me Hayden, Hayden Sandberg.""Alright, I'll send you my location after this call. I hope things go as smoothly as you say, and I trust you can keep a close w

Sighing, Hesper decided to stop talking and switched off the monitors, seeking peace of mind now that Victor was out of sight and out of mind. She knew that allowing this situation to affect her would hinder her productivity.But she hadn't forgotten the reason for her return – Dianthe and Matthew's marriage agreement. From a certain perspective, it didn't only concern Dianthe and Matthew but also Cheney and their partnership with Hesper. Once this marriage was settled, Vivienne could find her stability, and that, in turn, would bring Cheney peace. That's why this marriage was of utmost urgency.Dianthe's family had been pressuring them because finding a good match for her wasn't easy. It wouldn't be so challenging if it were just a matter of money. Hesper prepared some gifts, made an appointment with Dianthe, and headed to the Bayless mansion.A lot of news was circulating about Hesper, so when she arrived at their home, the Bayless family was understandably concerned. They knew He

Dianthe knew she had to remain calm and avoid escalating the situation beyond Hesper's control. The Bayless family seemed convinced that Dianthe couldn't control her temper due to the constant pressure they had been applying, which had even caused delays in her work.The Bayless family didn't want things to turn out this way, but they were in a difficult position, and Dianthe should step up. This was her destiny; she had enjoyed a carefree life for over two decades, so it was time for her to face some hardships.Bacchus sighed and attempted to reason with Hesper. "Ms. Rivera, we know you're friends with Dianthe, but wouldn't a new relationship benefit you both? Dianthe would become your sister-in-law, and since you have a good relationship, it would be great for Matthew as well, wouldn't it?"Hesper smiled composedly and responded, "These are all just your assumptions. Have you asked Dianthe if she is willing to enter such a relationship? Should people get married solely because the

"How could you talk to your father like that?" Diante's mother shouted at Dianthe before looking at Hesper apologetically. "Ms. Rivera, we intend to repay the borrowed money once our project is completed. We are eager for Dianthe and Matthew to get married, and we never had any intention of not paying it back."Their words didn't convince Hesper. She scoffed and retorted, "Really? I find that hard to believe."Bacchus and his wife both wore awkward expressions, and it was evident to everyone in the room that their intentions weren't as clear-cut as they claimed.Dianthe, her anger flaring, spoke up vehemently. "Are you trying to sell me off? Did you give birth to me just so you could sell me when you're low on cash?""Dianthe Bayless!" Bacchus shouted, growing increasingly frustrated with her verbal attacks. "Enough nonsense! I've told you I'll repay the money."However, it was clear to those present that the Baylesses did not intend to repay the money. Once Dianthe was married an

Leaving the mansion with Hesper, Dianthe looked sad. Hesper patted her shoulder, but her eyes were already red. When her Grandpa was around, she had never felt so much betrayal. Now that he was gone, Dianthe had been controlled by her parents. Fortunately, when she filled out her ambition form, her Grandpa helped and gave her some resources. If that didn't happen, she might not have survived through the years. Now, they were trying to lie and say they were the ones who gave her a chance to be a director and wanted her to sacrifice it for her marriage. They treated her like a marionette they could just control. "There's no way they could come up with $30 million." Dianthe knew her parents well. "The first thing they did after they got the money was to spend it. Now, the Bayless family is sitting on an empty gold mine."Hesper knew that, so she casually said, "It's fine. I wasn't expecting them to be able to pay back."$30 million was a hefty sum to the Baylesses. They were once
