A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199 

Hesper was doing well. 

“Don’t push too hard. I’m worried that you’ll be too tired, and you don’t know what people will do when they’re forced into a corner. Besides, Rickard is a wolf.” 

Matthew couldn’t make out Hesper’s emotions through the phone, but he knew that Hesper’s change. wasn’t out of nowhere. 

Anything related to Rickard would affect her emotions tremendously. 

“I’m fine, don’t worry. I’m just more aware than I used to be.” 

Hesper removed her glasses. Between the company and school, she was busy and life was never more fulfilling. Matthew hadn’t been in contact with her in a while, so it was understandable that he was worried. 

“The next time you come over, I might already have tamed the wolf. All the things that I’ve learned were to prepare me for this.” 

Rickard was really quick in handling the attacks she launched. There was a back and forth, but Hesper would always end up with the upper ground. All the Duval Group could do was protect their own profits to ensure that they wouldn’t suffer too big of a loss. 

Matthew knew he wouldn’t be able to change Hesper’s mind, so all he could do was remind her to rest and not overwork herself. 

Her company was doing well, but something happened with Professor Jenkins. 

When Jessie heard that her father was going to lecture Hesper, she put everything that she was doing aside and went over. When she got to the office, she saw Hesper standing next to Xavier with her head hanging low. 

“Don’t you know how important this Duval Group competition is?” 

Hesper kept her head low. “I know.” 

“You don’t know anything!” Seeing that her father was going to start cursing soon, Jessie rushed in to 

diffuse the situation. 

“What this is?” Jessie rubbed her father’s shoulders and looked at Hesper, who was silent, then signaled at her. “Why can’t you just talk things through calmly?” 

Hesper frowned but didn’t say anything. When Xavier saw that, he became even angrier. 

“This genius isn’t taking the Duval Group competition seriously. I had to shamelessly ask for a spot, yet she doesn’t even want it.” 

Jessie continued rubbing her dad’s shoulders but still didn’t understand what was going on, so she looked toward Hesper. 

Even she, someone who didn’t care about competitions, knew how important it was. Many had tried but failed to even get a spot.
