A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 550

Hesper’s words pierced through everyone’s heart. She did not even give them a chance to speak up.

"Perhaps because I haven’t been coming to the company, some people might have misunderstood my

intention. Who, may I ask, told you that I plan to return the shares to Rickard?"

Benji looked at Hesper. Her expression was unchanged despite having just dropped a bombshell.

Ignoring the discussion that exploded from within the crowd again, she continued speaking. "The steak

has already been served to me on a plate. What kind of relationship do you think I have with Rickard

Duval anyway? Did you really think I’d help him manage his company temporarily?"

What Hesper said seemed to be reasonable. If they were not mistaken, Hesper was the daughter-in-

law who the Duvals shunned in the past. And a year ago, she single-handedly started a business war

with Rickard. Everyone present remembered the crossfire.

"From tomorrow onwards, I’ll officially be taking office at Duval Group. If you have a problem with this,

you can come to me at any time. And if you don’t want your shares, don’t bother with Carter Wilson.

Just come to me, and I’ll purchase them from you. As for the executives who don’t want to work

anymore..." Hesper paused for a split second then smirked. "I’ll tackle all your resignations before I get

off work today."

As soon as Hesper finished speaking, everyone became silent.

"Questions?"

There was a moment of dead silence. Not say anything more, Hesper turned around and entered the

office.

Benji followed her into the office with a sense of relief then closed the door. "Ms. Rivera, I’ll never forget

your saving grace from just now!"

Renee stood on the other side of Hesper with slight distaste, while Hesper pressed her tongue against

her cheek in an irritated manner.

Originally, she did not want to get involved in this mess but let Rickard deal with it when he woke up.

However, now that she had placed herself in this position, she had no choice but to get involved in the

management of the company.

Benji could see that although Hesper had talked very righteously just now, deep down she actually did

not want to manage any of Duval Group’s affairs. Hence, he took the initiative to say, "Don’t you worry,

Ms. Rivera. You don’t have to manage anything. All you need to do is come into the office every day

and let those people see you here.”

Hesper stared at him as if she was looking at a retard.

‘I never intended to manage Duval Group. Not like Rickard is going to even pay me when I hand the

position back to him. I only said what I said in front of all those people to contain them.’

Benji somehow felt that he was being looked down upon, but he did not dare to say anything in front of

Hesper, so he decided to change the subject. "I haven't heard any news about Juniper and Carter

recently, but what happened the other day created such a huge ripple in the business circle, I don’t

think Carter will stop his scheme just like that.”

‘It’s no big deal if they just send a person to create a scene at the workplace. Carter failed to seize the

management rights of Duval Group, and time isn’t the only thing that he lost. The Wilsons wouldn't just

allow him to mess around like this.’

"For now, just keep an eye for him. We’re in the light while they’re in the shadows, so let’s not make

any rash moves." Hesper also did not believe that Carter and Juniper would stop there, but Rickard

was still unconscious and on the verge of death...

‘If we can avoid going against them head-on, it’d be best for us to stay put and dodge them for now.’ Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Benji nodded. "I’ll arrange for someone to deal with this matter. And thank you for everything today, Ms.

Rivera."

Hesper shook her head and looked around Rickard’s office. She had not taken such a close look at it

before, but it seemed that it had a very minimalist design. Everything was so simple that it could be

seen at a glance.

Although Hesper liked simpler designs too, Rickard’s office looked a little too cold and indifferent to her.

"This office..."

Seeing Hesper’s critical look, Benji instantly had a terrible hunch. And sure enough, Hesper

commented, "If this were my office, I wouldn't keep Rickard’s decoration."

"Understood. I’ll have a new office ready for you when you come over tomorrow."

Benji took a glance at the design of the office in distress.

‘Although it looks simple, it still cost a lot of money. I bet I’ll have to redo everything when Mr. Duval

returns. These two burn cash as if they have no basic understanding of macroeconomics!’

The devil living in Benji’s heart was biting his fingernails, but like the professional he was, he still gave

off a polite smile on the surface as if he had no objections. "In the meantime, please make do with what

we have. I guarantee that your new office tomorrow will satisfy all your preferences."
