A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 488

Ignoring her, Matthew turned around and glanced at the group of shareholders impassively with a frown on his face.

Matthew's authority in Lane Holdings was second only to Arthur. However, Arthur had not been to the company in a long time due to his old age, so Matthew basically had absolute authority in the company.

Upon seeing Matthew's face, the board members knew that this matter was unlikely to succeed.

Everyone knew that Matthew adored Hesper a lot. If anyone wanted to touch her belongings while she was away, they had to get Matthew's permission first.

"Matt…"

Rachael did not expect Matthew to suddenly come back to the company. After all, he had been busy searching for Hesper lately. Otherwise, Rachael wouldn't have dared to propose touching Hesper's project right then.

Seeing that things were going nowhere, Rachael decided to shatter the silence. "Why can't we touch her projects, Matt? You're the most important person for Lane Holdings, yet you're away from the company all day looking for her. Yes, I admit that I'm incompetent and can't bring any profit to the company. But can you say to everyone here that you haven't done anything wrong?"

Matthew was silent for a moment. Seeing the situation, Isaac asked the board members to leave.

Since it was the Lane family's matters, the board members left one after another, as they did not want to enrage Matthew. Very soon, only Rachael and Matthew were left in the spacious meeting hall.

At first, Rachael had blurted out those words out of a whim, but now, seeing the expression on Matthew's face, she was starting to feel uneasy.

"Are you mad, Matt?" Rachael asked.

Matthew looked at Rachael for a while and shook his head. "Do you hate Hesper?"

"What are you talking about, Matt? I was doing it for the sake of our company. How could I hate Hesper?" There was a clear hint of panic in Rachael's gaze for a moment. She reached out to grab Matthew's sleeve. "I really don't."
