A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 150

“President Lane, don’t you think so too?”

Wilfred’s tone sounded somewhat aggressive, but Hesper’s expression remained calm, and she

politely responded, “Uncle Wilfred, there’s no need for you to address me with honorifics. At the end of

the day, you’re still my uncle.”

Seeing that Hesper did not fall into the trap, Wilfred frowned, and then continued, “I think this

contribution is very necessary, Hesper…”

“I know.” Hesper had already guessed what Wilfred was going to say and preemptively said, “You want

me to personally bring supplies to the city in order to set an example, correct?”

Standing behind Hesper, Isaac glanced at Wilfred who was on the video call after hearing his

suggestion, and his expression looked extremely hostile.

‘This city just experienced an earthquake yesterday Going there now to boost the company’s CSR

number is undoubtedly a huge risk. Ms. Lane is the young lady of the Lanes, so her presence at the

scene can naturally earn the company a lot of favorability, but such benefits are simply too insignificant

compared to the risks.

Everyone below looked at Hesper, thinking that it was impossible for Hesper to agree to this proposal.

…After all, she was just a delicate and noble young lady.

“Alright, I’ll go there myself.” Hesper did not leave too much time for people to react and started giving

the order immediately. “Get the list of supplies and means of transportation ready. I want to arrive in

Salt City with the supplies by tomorrow noon at the latest.”

When Rickard received the news, Hesper was already in the car.

“Is she crazy? Does she know just how dangerous Salt City is now? And does she know how many

people would kill just to get out of that place now, yet she’s going to travel there?”

Rickard called Hesper over and over again, but no one answered.

Looking at Rickard’s anxious look on the side, Benji knew that his boss had already fallen for Hesper

without knowing it. “The telecommunicating signal in Salt City might not be very good now, Mr. Duval,

so Ms. Lane might not be able to receive your calls.”

Hearing this, Rickard hung up the phone irritably, and then called Duval Group’s headquarters.

“Prepare medical equipment and first aid supplies, and send all of them to Salt City.”

“If you were to run into Lane Holdings’ convoy, look after each other.”

Seeing that Rickard had made all the arrangements, Benji said again, “Mr. Duval, you asked me to

keep an eye on Ms. Wight earlier on, and I found out that Ms. Wight has been very quiet recently. She

hasn’t gone anywhere special and has only invited Ms. Duval out to go shopping occasionally. Our men

have been monitoring her throughout the whole process and haven’t heard her making

any remarks against Ms. Lane.”

This really surprised Rickard, but it would be best if Juniper could really learn to behave.

‘If she and Sophia were to dare to lay a finger on Hesper again, I might not be able to protect her

anymore!’

On the way to Salt City, Hesper had received all the calls that came from Rickard, but she did not pick

up any of them and muted her phone instead.

“There’s debris blocking the road ahead, and our men have already gone down to clean it up,” Isaac

said while getting into the car swiftly.

Seeing Hesper’s frowning expression, he could not help but say, “This trip is going to be very risky.

Aftershocks might even happen at any time. So why would you agree to come with the convoy?”

Hesper was indeed a little tired; she kept thinking about why Rickard called and she could only breathe

a sigh of relief at this moment.

“If I were to reject the proposal, the prestige that I’ve been establishing these days would crumble in an

instant. Those people in the company will only remember that I’m someone who’s afraid of dying and

has no guts to come to Salt City,” Hesper explained, then sneered. “My uncle is indeed quite smart.”

Isaac nodded and sighed. “Ms. Lane, it seems that your life in Genecity is just full of challenges and

grievances.”

Hearing this, Hesper smiled and shook her head How can this be considered a grievance? If I want to

repay Matthew’s kindness and gain more through my own efforts, this is the only path that I must step

onto.”

‘I, Hesper Rivera, don’t want to be a canary that stares into the bright sky from its cage. I’m not going to

be a pet bird that stays by a man’s side and treats him as if he’s my whole life anymore.’ This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
