"You're back," Elise greeted Hesper, attempting to win her favor. Hesper could sense the effort, but when she looked at her mother, she couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness.The difference was that with Benjamin, they had never spent much time together, so Hesper didn't experience as intense a feeling of abandonment. It was different with Elise because she had lived as her daughter and knew what it was like to be loved. Hesper found it difficult to accept the betrayal and abandonment, which made her question the validity of her feelings.Sensing Hesper's resistance, Elise understood that after everything that had transpired, their relationship would never be the same again. However, they were determined to repay her with love for the rest of their lives.Hesper glanced at Elise and nodded before saying, "I'm going to see Grandpa. It's been a while since I last saw him."Without waiting for Elise's response, Hesper walked around her and ascended the stairs. Although Elise ha

Hesper could discern the unspoken words Nathaniel wanted to convey the other day. It was all meant to culminate in regret, for she would never love him, nor would she forgive him for the pain he had inflicted on her and her family.Despite her understanding of this, she couldn't help but feel a tangle of emotions. Nevertheless, she knew her course of action. Nathaniel's feelings for her had vanished along with him. Her path was clear—she had to continue living her life well."I didn't want to tell you because I accepted Rickard. Without him, you wouldn't be where you are now," Matthew admitted with a hint of helplessness.

"Stop pretending. You were one of the people who deceived Hesper, so don't assume you can wash your hands of it," Sullivan retorted.Veronica responded with a smile, saying, "I never harbored illusions of absolving myself, but I also never imagined you'd lose your sanity."She had no intentions of aiding Sullivan. Her son seldom treated anyone with such significance. Despite his altered behavior, each time he encountered Hesper, it was evident he treated her differently.Veronica had concurred with him because she held hope that someday her son would change due to Hesper, so she hadn't exactly lied to Hesper. However, ultimately, Hesper believed him due to her vulnerability. Veronica understood this.Her son had inherited the worst traits from his father. He didn't comprehend love, trust, or affection; all he saw were opportunities for personal gain. That was why she had lost alongside Hesper.Veronica closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she observed a hint of moistur

She had been preparing for a long time, and if she wasn't ready to face Sullivan by now, it would be her own fault.Elise's eyes remained red as they returned to Lane Manor.

Liam sighed once more when he realized Hesper had caught on.Seeing his expression, Hesper became a little perplexed. "Has something happened to your family recently?"Liam had maintained a good relationship with them in the past, but it seemed that something had transpired, and he had been left to handle the situation.The Turners faced scrutiny from the people of Montequinto due to their association with Hesper and Rickard.

They could start speculating and creating their own scenarios about what had occurred.Hesper began sending out invitations, including all the families that were originally on Cheney's list.

If the regular invites were taken, and they had distinguishing markers on them, those individuals would not be allowed to board the ship.Hesper had conducted extensive research on this plan and had discussed it thoroughly with Rickard. The likelihood of people being caught in this trap was relativ

To exercise caution, the Simmons weren't included in the list of recipients for invitations to the black market, as this was a strategic move to gauge Sullivan's response.Each invitation was assigned a unique serial number, a practice the black market had employed for years to manage the number of attendees. Initially, it seemed that Sullivan was maintaining his composure, but after a few days, the Simmons began actively seeking an invitation.Hesper found this perplexing, as she had expected Sullivan to see through their ruse.
