"Wow, you're so kind, Ms. Rivera!" Jessie smiled, throwing in some flattery. Hesper smiled then remembered something. "One more thing.""What?""You mentioned there was something you wanted to tell me when we met.""Yes…" Jessie uncharacteristically became quiet. She pressed her fingers together and looked at Hesper with eager eyes. "Can I not tell you yet?"Hesper sighed. "Tell me if you want to, or don't. But if you come across any problem that you can't solve, come to me.""Alright!"Jessie smiled. However, when Hesper lowered her eyes, her smile faded and was replaced by worry. ***Renee soon got news about Jean Yates. They were completely off the mark. "He works with Carter Wilson?" Hesper frowned as she read what Renee sent over. The document had a clear timeline that showed that Jean used to work for Nathaniel, but then he raked up a huge debt and went to Genecity, where Carter cleared his debt for him and took him under his wing. Hesper sighed with relief when s

"Acquire Duval Group's loose shares."Renee paused out of shock. However, she did it anyway because it was Hesper's decision. Hesper thought about it then called Matthew. Matthew frowned on the other side of the call. "Why are we getting involved with Rickard again? From what I know, he still has 43% of the company's shares and is the biggest shareholder in the group.""Yes, but you said he only has 43%," Hesper casually said. "What if someone finds a way to acquire all the shares from the other shareholders? He wouldn't be the biggest shareholder anymore even if we just acquire 44%. ""...What are you trying to say?"Hesper replied, "Do you remember my promise to Mrs. Wight? She told me about Juniper's plan so that I would save Juniper."The message Ariana Wight sent to her was about that. In the past year, Carter and Juniper acquired Duval Group's shares through various channels. The biggest reason they both got married was that the Wights held 5% of it. The 5% was a t

Chapter 533

Benji shook his head. Since the incident, Daybreak moved out of their base overnight and no one could find their exact location. There was dead silence on their end, and it was obvious they were just delaying so Rickard would die of poisoning. "We have another problem…" Benji said awkwardly. "The young master insists on seeing Mr. Duval. He's a lot smarter than other children Ms. Rivera has been stirring up a storm recently, so now that she's back, he has probably guessed that Mr. Duval is back too."Professor Miles frowned. The offspring of these two brilliant minds could not be dumb. However, there was no way they could let Renfrew see his father in his current condition. There was an alert on his phone. Professor Miles looked down at the message from Hesper. Hesper hadn't been in contact with any of them since her return to Halwanest. The doctor thought that Hesper had given up on Rickard, but she was asking about his condition now.[Miles: How else could he be? He's dying.]

When Renfrew saw Hesper, he knew that something had happened to Rickard. He was glad to see his mom after so long, but he didn't know if he should be under these circumstances. "Daddy isn't in a good state, is he?"Renfrew held Hesper's hand. She was silent for a while then decided to be honest. "He's been poisoned, and it's hard to undo it. He sleeps most of the day, so he wouldn't be able to take care of you."Even though Renfrew was more mature than children his age, when he heard that, his eyes welled up. "Is he going to die?""...I don't think so." Hesper avoided his eyes. "Good people don't live for long, but the evil ones have a long life. Based on that, your dad is going to live for a few more decades."Renfrew had a feeling she was trying to sound positive, but since she said that Rickard would be alright, he chose to believe her. Jessie signed her employment contract with the new studio which was just starting out. Hesper insisted on paying her as soon as she signed

"I'm sorry but Mr. Weber was in a meeting. He's coming over now."Hesper nodded and didn't say more. Renee could tell that Tristan Weber wasn't delayed by anything. He just wasn't giving Hesper the courtesy because she was no longer Ms. Lane of Lane Holdings. "I wonder what big projects Mr. Weber is working on. Isn't the project with Lane Holdings the biggest one he's working on?"Renee smirked, and Hesper raised her hand. The secretary smiled awkwardly. "Ms. Lane, Mr. Weber really was busy, but he's on the way over now. Please be patient."Hesper raised her brow. When Renee got the order, she stood next to her and stopped speaking. After another half an hour of waiting, Hesper sat in the chair with her eyes closed. Before Renee could speak, Hesper opened her eyes and said, "If Mr. Weber won't extend his courtesy, I have no reason to pretend that we were friends."Hesper tilted her head and Renee walked to the doors and pushed them, exposing a linked room. "Mr. Weber, you'v

After getting the 4% from Tristan, Hesper could finally relax. The 4% could be a turning point. Matthew managed to get 1% from elsewhere, and when that was added to what Rickard had, they should have no problem. Hesper got into the car and said to herself, "This is for helping to heal my legs."Meanwhile, Rachael looked at Tristan, who was sitting in a chair looking miserable. "Mr. Weber, can I ask what shares Hessy got from you?"Even though Rachael sold him out, when he thought about the partnership with Lane Holdings, Tristan still controlled his temper. "Shares of Duval Group. Didn't your siblings tell you? They've been acquiring the loose shares of Duval Group. My cut of the share was booked by Carter Wilson; we'd agreed on that. However, Ms. Lane made an offer I couldn't refuse.""Carter Wilson?" Rachael thought about it. "Isn't Duval Group the biggest company in Genecity? Why are they buying their shares? Do they have something planned?""Who knows…"Rachael gave Junipe

"...I have an idea," Benji said hesitantly. "The truth is… you could take the 43% held by Mr. Duval.""What?"***On the overnight flight back to Emperion, Hesper was sleepy yet she just couldn't fall asleep. "The agreement you signed with Mr. Duval included various 'personal gifts'. Only the first few didn't contain weird clauses to lower your suspicions. One of them included gifting the shares to you."Hesper couldn't understand what was on Rickard's mind, but his random decision managed to save his own life. "I'm glad I didn't touch those agreements."Matthew was anxious because he would never expect Rickard to put such a huge amount of shares for the huge Duval Group into a tiny clause in the contract. What if Hesper had used them back then…?Hesper was silent throughout the journey home. When she found the agreement Benji told her about, she was relieved. "Yes, that one." Benji looked at the agreement through their video call and seemed more relaxed. "I'm glad it's st

Benji had arrived there earlier and stood in the main seat with an icy expression. Carter and Juniper sashayed over. "This is my seat now, Benji," Carter said. "You don't seem to be very bright.""Really? Tha isn't confirmed yet." Benji glared at him coldly but he was very nervous. Hesper had been on the way there when she suddenly got a message saying one of the loose shareholders wanted to sell it to her, so she went over instead. However, the person reneged when she arrived. They had known that Hesper didn't have time to bargain with them. Realizing that it was just a decoy, Hesper didn't waste any time and immediately got back into the car. Even though she was on her way again, Benji was still worried. They didn't have more than half the shares, and when he saw how smug Carter and Juniper looked, he wasn't sure if they already hold the rest of the shares. The couple exchanged looks, but Benji continued. "No matter the outcome, the board meeting hasn't begun, so Mr. Duval

"There's half a minute to go," Benji said stubbornly. "You'll honor what you said, won't you?"Carter chuckled. "What difference will half a minute make?""A lot." The doors to the conference room opened and everyone looked over. Hesper and Renee walked in with subtle smiles under everyone's gazes. "Hello everyone, nice to meet you."Everyone started chattering when they saw Hesper. Although this was the first time Hesper was meeting them, she had been under their radar for some time. She was the woman who managed to take Rickard down all by herself.There was also the love-hate relationship between her and Rickard too. Dressed in a white suit with her hair tied up, Hesper looked powerful. Renee stood behind her, holding a folder with mysterious content. Benji sighed with relief the second he saw her. He was glad he hadn't given up. "Isn't Mr. Wilson anxious to start the meeting? Now that everyone is here, let's begin." Hesper walked to the end of the table and took the mai

Hesper's presence managed to compel everyone there. Furthermore, she held at least 43% of the shares, so any smart person would know that she was there to challenge Carter for the company. Carter leaned forward to get closer to Hesper. "Ms. Lane, I'm sure you hate Mr. Duval. Why don't we work together and turn the Duval Group into the Rivera Group? Tsk tsk, that sounds like a good name."Renee put out her hand to block Carter with an icy expression. "Control yourself, Mr. Wilson.""...Fine, self-control." Carter sat up straight but still tried to convince Hesper. "Think about it, Ms. Lane. We can manage the company together. What's it called? Co-managing? We could make Rickard fall to his knees begging us, hmm?""Carter!" Juniper observed the expression of all the shareholders and felt embarrassed. She tugged at his arm and whispered, "Enough. Don't forget why we're here."Carter pulled his arm around while still keeping his eyes on Hesper. He smiled. "How about it?""It's a swe
