A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 578

Hearing this, Tristan panicked for a moment and quickly said, "Ms. Lane, what you just said is not necessarily true. You see, we’ve worked together for so long, and we know each other’s companies quite well. This isn’t something other companies can offer."

"Oh?" Hesper leaned back into her chair nonchalantly. "In the past, I really thought I knew you very well, Mr. Weber, but I didn’t expect you to love bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

What Hesper hated the most in her life were deception and betrayal. What Tristan did to her last time in order to curry favor with Rachael had already crossed the line.

It was true that what Tristan said was not wrong. Among all the other manufacturers, the quality and price that others could offer might indeed be better than Tristan’s, but the time needed for another company to break in with Lane Holdings was also something that the company needed to take into consideration.

Now that Lane Holdings was still treading on thin ice, it would indeed be more comfortable to work with a company that they had cooperated with before.

But if Tristan could not resolve her trust issue that day, the concept of working together would be a hurdle for Hesper. Even if Tristan’s company was the most suitable candidate, Hesper would not hand the contract to Tristan so easily.

"This..." Tristan wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and gave an apologetic smile. "You should know that the Webers only got to where we are today because of the sudden acquisition of a wealth, and we only thrived throughout all these years because of our cooperation with Lane Holdings. Otherwise, we would’ve gone through all our fortune by now. After you left, Rachael lowered the price for the contract. For us, two zeroes down means that many people who work for me won’t get paid. Thus, I could only do everything in my power to please her."

Tristan was a clever and tactful man. He had always known how to be as slippery as an eel when it came to negotiating deals, and that was why Hesper chose to work with him in the first place. After all, not everyone in the business circle could impress her at first glance.

Hesper lowered her gaze, while Tristan continued to explain, "I know that I went too far the other day, but it was a last resort from my side. Everyone in the business community knows that Rachael doesn’t like you. That’s why I came up with such a terrible idea."

Hearing this, Hesper raised her eyebrows. "Rachael Lane doesn’t like me?"
