A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 536

After getting the 4% from Tristan, Hesper could finally relax.

The 4% could be a turning point. Matthew managed to get 1% from elsewhere, and when that was

added to what Rickard had, they should have no problem.

Hesper got into the car and said to herself, "This is for helping to heal my legs."

Meanwhile, Rachael looked at Tristan, who was sitting in a chair looking miserable. "Mr. Weber, can I

ask what shares Hessy got from you?"

Even though Rachael sold him out, when he thought about the partnership with Lane Holdings, Tristan

still controlled his temper. "Shares of Duval Group. Didn't your siblings tell you? They've been acquiring

the loose shares of Duval Group. My cut of the share was booked by Carter Wilson; we'd agreed on

that. However, Ms. Lane made an offer I couldn't refuse."

"Carter Wilson?" Rachael thought about it. "Isn't Duval Group the biggest company in Genecity? Why

are they buying their shares? Do they have something planned?"

"Who knows…"

Rachael gave Juniper a call and told her about Hesper acquiring Duval Group's shares.

Juniper fought with Carter over this, so she smirked. "I told you to take care of Tristan Weber, but you

were too greedy. Do you really think they care that you're the eldest descendant of the Wilson family? Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Dream on."

Her phone suddenly pinged and she took a look at the message, then couldn't help but call Rachael

stupid.

"So Hesper bought it. Her acquiring the shares of Duval Group now… Something is up," Juniper said.

"Does she know our plan? If she gives what she has to Rickard, our plan will be ruined."

"That's impossible. Do you think she's psychic?"

Carter scoffed but looked worried.

"We have to get the loose shares or else we won't be able to get half of the total shares. Rickard might

have more than us at any moment."

Juniper went to work while Carter stood in the living room, looking more awake.

"Hesper… I'm not surprised."

After Hesper and Matthew got home, they calculated how much they had and realized that after adding

it to the 43% that Rickard had, they only had 49.4%... Still a little more to go.

"Duval Group's annual board meeting is being held tomorrow. If Carter and Juniper manage to get half

of the shares, Duval Group will be in peril."

"I'm trying to get less than one percent. It shouldn't be a problem." Matthew felt a little helpless. "Isn't

our biggest problem now Rickard not waking up?"

Rickard never woke up since that day. Professor Miles said this had never happened before because

even if he was mostly unconscious, he would still wake up for a short time.

His condition had been worsening, but what was most urgent now wasn't his health. If he didn't wake

up before the board meeting, Duval Group would have to undergo a name change.

"I'm going to call Benji."

Benji was troubled when he saw Hesper calling. He felt anxious and immediately picked up. "Ms.

Rivera, how much did you manage to get?"

"Almost enough. Has Rickard not woken up yet?" Hesper still sounded calm. Benji hoped that Rickard

would wake up, but he didn't. He had been sleeping for three days already.

"The doctor is still urgently trying to develop an antidote, but I don't think Mr. Duval is going to wake up

tonight."

Hesper frowned. "If we can't get the 43% that Rickard holds, all of this would have been in vain. If he

doesn't wake up, I don't know what there is to do."
