Chapter 471

Mrs. Potter originally did not understand why Rickard would fall for Hesper. In fact, Hesper’s appearance was considered ordinary, so if she and Rickard were to stand next to each other, they probably would not make a perfect match.Needless to talk about her background, Hesper was only an ordinary designer.But Hesper had a unique quality that could not help but attract others’ attention. She was a solemn and sincere lady, so much so that even Mrs. Potter had taken a liking to her, let alone a man."You should grab some well-deserved rest for now, Ms. Rivera. I’ll take my leave first.""Okay."...On the other side of things, Rickard was standing in front of the gate of the grounds of Daybreak, and his hawk-like gaze was fixed on the slowly opening gate."Yo, what's brought you here, Mr. Duval?" Riley covered his face and chuckled. "It seems that we still haven’t figured out the extent of your ability, Mr. Duval. You actually managed to find it here."Myriade stayed behind Ril

Professor Miles took a few more steps forward, Rickard seemed to know that Julian was in a dilemma. He did not say anything and quietly watched as he walked over."How about it, Dr. Zink? Your love rival is standing over there showing off his might. Are you willing to turn all your hard work into a joke?" Riley chuckled twice. "You know, perhaps I do have my own ulterior motive, but after getting along for such a long time, I really care about our friendship. I really can’t watch this timid look of yours now.""Do you really think I won’t know that you only want to use me to deal with Rickard Duval?" Julian sneered. "I know best what I mean to you. That psycho can’t come back now, so you should be the person who wants to kill me the most in the world."Riley looked at Julian with a smile for a while. "However, Dr. Zink, your actions seem to tell me that a collaboration between us is about to be reached.""What are you two talking about?" Professor Miles saw that Julian had not caug

Professor Miles nodded. He knew about this and had reminded Julian before."Then how do we know that you’re only checking to see if there are surveillance devices in our phones and not stealing our personal information?" Julian sneered. "I’m afraid we might’ve gone from one kidnapper to another."The person in charge of welcoming them smiled when he heard the words, and then explained bluntly, "In a sense, we saved you only because you happened to have been captured along with your master, not because we needed you. If you don’t believe in us, you can get out of the car now. However, any electronic equipment that hasn’t been inspected won’t be allowed to come with us.""You—!""Please do understand the position that we’re in."Julian looked at Rickard.‘Such a blunt warning is obviously something that Rickard would say. He would only pretend to be calm and magnanimous in front of others, but in fact, he looks down on me deep down. This was already the case when I was living in th

Rickard nodded. "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get the patient to cooperate with you as much as possible... In fact, she really hopes that she can recover from the injuries too.""That’s good."Rickard turned his head and sighed indistinctly.‘I currently have no way to directly reveal my identity, and I can’t tie Hesper down and force her into receiving treatment. What’s more, if Hesper were to know my true identity, she might not want this treatment. Although I was a little impulsive and have brought them back, how should I bring this up to her?’...On the other hand, Hesper felt that her health seemed to be getting a lot better, so she asked Pennleigh to help bring her laptop to her home."Me... Me?" Pennleigh seemed a little flattered. "Okay, I’ll send it to you right now.""Mr. Pisano." Hesper frowned, feeling a little helpless. "Were you listening to me just now? I just told you that I have a check-up in the morning, and you can just send the things over in the afternoon.

Chapter 475

After going through what happened during this period of time, Julian’s brows became more and more tightly creased. "Is Hesper okay now? How could the Lanes do this to her? How is this different from kicking down the ladder? How can they just hand all the projects that Hesper created for them and that made profits to someone else?"Rickard had no answer to those questions, so he shook his head, did not say anything, turned to Professor Miles, and said, "She’s still in the hospital now. Someone is taking care of her and will supervise her during this time. It’ll take about a week before she’ll be back."Rickard was now the client and benefactor who controlled everything, so Professor Miles nodded. "Of course."They were standing in front of the door when a voice sounded from the side out of the blue."Rickard Duval?"Seeing Rickard turn his head back, Pennleigh strode up to him and stood still right in front of Rickard. "Perfect, I was still wondering why there would be such a kind-

Chapter 476

After hanging up the phone, Hesper could not help but feel that Pennleigh seemed to have something to say, but she could not figure out what he wanted to say.It had always been Hesper’s style to leave things that she did not understand aside first, so she turned on the phone and got on with life.Sometimes anonymity could really help someone avoid a lot of trouble. For example, the new client who contacted Hesper this time around turned out to be Rachael Lane.Yes, it was Rachael—the Twiggy that saved her back then. Hesper actually felt quite complicated deep down. During the three years when she took over Rachael’s identity and spot among the Lanes, Hesper often felt guilty whenever this name appeared, feeling that she had robbed her of too many things. However, she would at times think that all of it was God’s will too.‘Matthew must be very happy to have found his younger sister. On the other hand, his fake sister not only lied to him before leaving Emperion but also went compl

Chapter 477

‘Isaac... He was originally an employee of the Lanes, so he’s probably following Rachael around just like how he did with me, protecting her by her side. But I was the one who hired Renee, so will Matthew let Renee stay and continue with her previous job after I left?’Just as she was thinking, there were two knocks on the door, Hesper lifted her head and saw Pennleigh’s assistant and Mrs. Potter walking in together."I saw him looking for you at your doorstep just now, so I brought him while I came in."Lionel gave Hesper everything she needed, took a closer look at her legs, and gave off a slightly worried expression. "I didn’t expect your injury to be this serious, Ms. Rivera. And you still planning to work at such times? You’re way too hardworking. Ms. Rivera, you might not know about this, but Mr. Pisano was so worried when he saw the situation in your office that morning that he almost called the police."Hesper indeed did not know that part of the story, and Pennleigh did no

Chapter 478

Mrs. Potter truthfully reported everything she heard and saw to Rickard.Rickard was on the balcony, and he happened to be able to see the large open space that sat in between the gate of Hesper’s house and the courtyard. He also knew how long Pennleigh had been sitting there.‘I guess he didn’t expect that he would be sold out by his subordinate when he’s not around.’Rickard knew Hesper well enough to know that if she were to know about this, she might leave Eustoma after.‘Half of the things that I must accomplish in Fredonia have been done. I’ve found Professor Miles to heal Hesper’s leg injuries, so what’s left now is to find out the killer who’s been trying to harm Hesper.’Because Professor Miles had spent a significant amount of time in Daybreak, Rickard tried to extract some useful information from him."When I was at Daybreak?" Professor Miles had been imprisoned for a long time, so after getting out of Daybreak, all he wanted to do was to drink a little wine. Thus, wit

Chapter 479

"We’re going to be married soon. At such a sensitive time, it’s better not to go out and offend the Lanes," Carter said. "Matthew isn’t someone that we should trifle with. If he finds out that you badmouthed his sister and looks into the both of us, that’s it. We're doomed."There was not even a slight hint of hilarity in Carter’s voice, so Juniper restrained herself, then refuted angrily after a short while, "Why are you so fierce? Of course, I have a sense of proportion, so why are you so worried?""You aren’t even afraid of Rickard, so why would you be afraid of Matthew Lane?"Juniper turned her head around and realized that Carter’s expression had not softened at all. Instead, he lowered his gaze, and there seemed to be a trace of threat in his tone. "Listen to me. Don’t act rashly and do something out of our plan."Juniper was speechless. She then withdrew her gaze and nodded obediently. "I know, don’t worry."Only then did Carter give a faint smile. He rubbed Juniper’s head.

Chapter 480

Mrs. Potter was a little flattered. She had been a housekeeper for many years, and it was very common for others to look down on her because of her profession. Someone who could communicate with their help as they would with an ordinary person could be considered a very well-mannered employer. As for someone like Hesper… She had never met one yet."It’s just my responsibility. If you want to thank me, then you can thank my employer." Mrs. Potter smiled and handed over the completed forms to Hesper. "Congratulations on your discharge."...After lying in the hospital for a week, it felt like her bones were about to crumble.Fortunately, she did not completely delay her work. She had finished designing Juniper’s wedding dress, and all she needed to do now was to wait for the proofs to be produced and then hang them onto the mannequin. With that, her project with Juniper would come to an end.Hesper walked into the yard and saw the roses that had been placed by her in the yard before
