Chapter 544After dealing with the affairs that were going on outside the conference room, Benji and Renee
returned to the room, only to find Hesper still sitting on the chair, thinking about something.
“Thank God—thank you very much, Ms. Rivera. If it weren’t for you, Duval Group would’ve fallen into
someone else’s hands today.” Benji was a little incoherent for a while. He had followed Rickard around
for so many years; he never thought that there would be another person who could win him over
through her competence.
Hesper shook her head. Renee could see that something was bothering her, so she turned to Benji and
said, “Ms. Lane and I will take our leave. We’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Of course!”
Renee stepped forward and helped Hesper up. However, as soon as she saw her flushed hands, she
felt nervous for a split second, and her expression turned solemn. “Ms. Lane! What happened?! Be
honest with me. Did someone hit you?”
“…Huh?” Hesper was still deep in thought and had not realized the condition of her hand at the
moment. She then glanced in the direction of Renee’s gaze and discovered that she had gone all out
when she was slapping Juniper just now that her palms were now extremely flushed and slightly
inflamed. She immediately cleared her throat in embarrassment.
Benji seemed to be able to guess how things went from the side, so he could not help but snicker
twice.
Ads by PubFuture Renee looked at the two of them in a daze. Hesper tugged at the hem of her clothes and explained,
“Don’t worry, from now on, I only instill grievances in others, not the other way around. As for who
would dare to hit me, they haven’t been born yet.”Hearing this, Renee nodded, albeit a little confused. She had always taken whatever Hesper said as
the complete truth, so although she did not get it, she agreed with what Hesper said.
Benji, who was standing on the side, realized that he seemed to be a bit of an eyesore at that moment.
He was about to leave the room when he received a message from Professor Miles.
“Ms. Rivera! Ernest has woken up!”
Hesper was stunned when she heard the news. She licked her molars with slight annoyance.
‘Rickard Duval, you really don’t know when to wake up, do you? If we’d waited for you to wake up,
Duval Group would’ve already been wrapped up, garnished with a bowtie, and sent on its merry way
into Carter’s possession.
…
The news that Hesper had become the largest shareholder of Duval Group spread like wildfire. Ernest
was one of the last people to know about it, and it was only because Wendy accidentally clicked on the
article while reading the news.
“This… Hesper is more than just capable now.” Ernest put on his presbyopic glasses and read the tiny
words on Wendy’s phone.
Wendy felt a little helpless. “Mr. Duval Sr., you’re being too lenient to the youngsters. After all, you
spent half your life accumulating that wealth. Now that it’s in Hesper’s possession, she might not return
Ads by PubFuture it to the Duvals.”
“Sigh, Hesper wouldn’t do such a thing.” Ernest smiled and shook his head. “Rickard’s road growing up
was too smooth, so he never encountered any setbacks in his life. That’s why he acts just like a robot
that has been programmed with certain codes.”Wendy was a little surprised. “I thought this is what you wanted him to be like.”
Rickard had been an excellent individual since he was a kid. He was the obedient and overachieving
boy that everyone envied, and he had never caused Ernest to worry about him. He had also begun to
take over the reigns of a company as huge as Duval Group at a very young age. In this regard, Rickard
had done an impeccable job.
Ernest took off his glasses and shook his head.
“When I was younger, I really cared about these things. After all, I worked so hard to build the company
up to where it was back then, so how could I not care?” Having said this, Ernest sighed. “But deep
down, the company is nowhere near as important as having a harmonious household. Perhaps
everyone does think that I value Duval Group more. But in my opinion, Duval Group is also a burden to
Rickard too.”
…
Hesper did not want to see Rickard at first, but now Duval Group was in her possession. She did not
care about it, let alone want to take over, so it would be better for her to find a suitable time to hand it
back to Rickard.
However, if anyone were to find out that Hesper, who was now the biggest shareholder of Duval Group,
wanted to hand it over to someone else, they would all say that she was out of her mind.
Following the address Benji had given her, Hesper arrived at Rickard’s current residence. Professor
Miles was the one who opened the door.
