Chapter 575Rachael’s timid voice came from the front. Hesper and Matthew raised their heads as if they had just
been dragged back into reality, only to realize that Rachael was standing in front of them. They had no
idea how long she had been standing there.
Hesper took a few steps backward, leaving space for the two of them to chat. From what she had
learned about Rachael these past two days, Rachael probably wouldn’t like her staying there. But just
novelbinas she was about to leave, she was stopped by Rachael.
“Hesper, I want to apologize to you in front of Matthew.”
Hesper froze in place and turned her head.
Rachael’s voice was not too soft, so the servants around them all looked over after hearing the
sentence.
Helen just so happened to come out of her room at this moment, just in time to see the three of them in
the corridor. She walked over.
“What are you three talking about in the corridor?”
When Helen walked over, Hesper knew that she could no longer play dumb and escape this
Ads by PubFuture conversation. She could only sigh inwardly, turn around and stand still, listening to what Rachael
wanted to say to her.
Before Hesper could say anything, Rachael’s eyes started to tear up instantly as Helen approached
them.
“I know that I’ve taken over your identity as Rachael Lane, but everyone around still likes you more
than me deep down.” Rachael lowered her head. “I’m jealous of the fact that you’re better than I am ateverything. I also envy you because you’re liked and recognized by everyone else, which is why I’ve
made a lot of mistakes along the way.”
Hesper straightened the baby hair on her forehead and frowned slightly. “I’ve never wanted you to…”
“I know that I’ve initiated some of your contracts, so you must be exasperated. That’s why I wish to
apologize to you!”
Seeing this, Helen immediately responded in order to smooth things over. “We’re all from the same
family, so why would you apologize to this extent? As for you, Hesper, Rachael just came back to the
Lanes not long ago and still doesn’t know much about the rules, so perhaps you can just let this go?”
After hearing Helen’s words, Hesper did not know how to react apart from scoffing inwardly.
Ads by PubFuture ‘I didn’t take the initiative to talk to Rachael about things that have been going on recently. I don’t even
have the time to discuss the contract with her either. However, I didn’t expect her to come up to me first
and apologize by saying loads of things that don’t sound anything near an apology.’
As soon as Matthew saw Hesper’s expression, he instantly knew that this matter would not end so
simply, so he rubbed his temples tiredly, looked at Rachael, sighed, and did not utter a single word.
“First of all, Aunt Helen, it’s been over a year since Rachael has come back to the Lanes, so what does
not knowing the rules of the Lanes even mean? All she has to do is to live her life as Rachael Lane. Is
that very difficult to do?”
Hesper’s almond eyes turned solemn, and they now looked as sharp as a pair of blades. “Secondly,
the biggest problem that the contract you initiated brings about isn’t that you touched it without
permission, but that you didn’t get approval from the legal department before initiating it without
authorization. That was a contract offered to us by Duval Group. You do know that Duval Group and
Lane Holdings are competitors in Genecity, don’t you? How can you use it carelessly?”Hearing this, Matthew turned to face Hesper. “Is there any problem with the contract?”
Having no intention of hiding anything, Hesper nodded and started explaining the situation directly,
“Rickard included a demand in one of the terms listed in the contract. As long as I initiate this project, I
must agree to three of his requests in the future. Otherwise, I’ll be accused of a breach of contract that
will cost the company $15 million.”
“15 million?” Matthew frowned.
