A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 537

"...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 still there. I'll get in touch with the lawyers now. Are you… in Genecity?"

Hesper nodded and didn't say anything.

Rickard and Duval Group's current predicament didn't allow her to sleep.
