A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 585

"Okay, then let's contact the Duval Group," Hesper said. She had worked with them before, so she had nothing to fear. After all, as long as Rickard was a smart businessman, he would never refuse the benefits that came to him.

Renee nodded and turned to leave. Hesper fell into silence for a moment before continuing with her work. Previously, Benji had warned her that many of the contracts given to her by Rickard contained hidden clauses. Those contracts had been sorted and taken back to the Lanes by Matthew. Now, it seemed like she needed to retrieve them and carefully examine them to avoid any more accidents in the future.

Hesper sent a message to Matthew, asking him to mail her the previous contracts. With that settled, she began to prepare for negotiations with the Duval Group.

The Lane Holdings needed to recuperate at the moment, so Hesper was willing to make some concessions during the negotiations. If one deal fell apart, she might not have the ability to consider the next one.

However, Rickard was different. When he handed over those contracts to her, he must have already guessed that she would be working with the Duval Group.

Hesper felt that she should feel very sorry for not extorting Rickard for a good sum of money. After contact was made, news from the Duval Group came quickly. They were both in Genecity and had time to meet, so they arranged to meet the next day at noon.

Hesper was familiar with the Duval Group and had been going there every day for a while. When she arrived at the front desk, the staff greeted her warmly. After a while, they realized something was off.

"Didn't Ms. Rivera return the shares to Mr. Duval? Why has she come again today?"
