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

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

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

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

"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
