Chapter 577
"There are so many employees at Lane Holdings who are still waiting for me to save their jobs. I can’t
selfishly leave them alone in Genecity only for my own safety’s sake." Hesper refused to admit her
cowardice and failure. The chaos in Genecity was only momentary and would eventually pass, so she
would not lose to it.
It could be seen that Hesper’s mind had been made up. Matthew also knew that Hesper had always
been strong and emotional, so he could only nod and agree with her.
"Okay, you do you."
...
After returning to Genecity again, Hesper’s emotions eased a lot. In fact, she had always been thinking
about what Arthur thought of her after the revelation of her real identity, as Arthur felt like a real relative
to her.
However, Arthur’s attitude towards her was still the same as before, so besides rejoicing, Hesper still
could not help but feel even more guilty.
‘Everything is still the same as before. I’m still borrowing the identity of Grandpa’s granddaughter; that’s
the only reason why Grandpa still loves me. However, at the end of the day, I’m still a despicable thief,
a liar, and, in short, someone who has nothing to do with Grandpa.’
But the tasks that emerged continuously did not give Hesper too much time to think, so she could only
start working numbly. She went to meet with several partners that worked with the company before.
Because they were more at ease after seeing Hesper’s return, they agreed to resume their business
relationship with Lane Holdings and signed the contract on the spot. The outcome of the meetings
finally managed to stabilize some of the issues that Lane Holdings was currently facing.
The corners of Renee’s lips curled into a grin after collecting the contract from their client. "Nice, this
way, Lane Holdings will definitely not have to retrench anyone in this quarter."
Hesper squinted her eyes and gave off a brilliant smile. "Yeah, we’ve managed to keep it."
Although they had closed the quarter smoothly, Hesper certainly would not stop there. The plan that
she had for Lane Holdings’ development in Genecity was enormous, and she was surely closing in.
She must continue to develop her ideas, allowing Lane Holdings to take root in Genecity and to grow
bigger and stronger so that Matthew's teaching in those years did not go to waste.
Because she was busy with her work in Lane Holding, her studio’s establishment had to be placed on All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
hold.
When Jessie received Hesper’s over-the-top salary, she felt a little disturbed. She could not help but
feel like a pet that Hesper had raised. All she had been doing recently was coming into the studio and
sitting in her office. Apart from that, there was nothing left for her to do.
Celine also felt the same as her, but she could still come up with designs and send them to Hesper.
After all, the studio would someday be fully and formally established in the future, and various design
drafts would be needed when the time came.
As for Hesper, she would occasionally go through Celine’s designs and filter those that looked fabulous
whenever she had the time, so Celine was still living a fulfilling life from day to day.
...
When Tristan saw Hesper again, he wiped his hands using the hem of his coat in embarrassment.
"Ms. Lane, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon."
Hesper did not give off any extra emotions.
Tristan did not expect that the business contract between his company and Lane Holdings would end
up in Hesper’s hands again after going through a number of people in charge in Lane Holdings. He
suggested with an awkward smile, "Our previous collaboration was a rather pleasant experience, Ms.
Lane, so why not let me off this time around, and we can continue to work together?"
Hearing this, Hesper nodded, tapped her fingertips on the contract with a half-smile, and pushed the
contract back under Tristan’s expectant gaze.
"Mr. Weber, you should know that among all the manufacturers in your field, your company is nowhere
near the best."
