A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 586

Sophia pondered for a moment before deciding to capture crucial pages from the documents and send

them to her mother via pictures.

[Sophia: Dick is going to collaborate with Hesper. Mom, it appears that Hesper has no intention of

returning to be his wife. We must not let my brother make another mistake.]

At that moment, Julie was receiving cooking lessons from Wendy on how to make an omelet. Though a

simple dish, Julie struggled as she had not been cooking for a long time. Rickard had assigned Wendy

to keep an eye on his mother, and Wendy thought it would be wise to teach her some cooking skills

first.

Although it was Rickard's arrangement, Wendy knew that she was just a servant and should not

interfere too much in the Duvals' family affair.

Upon reading Sophia's message, Julie was infuriated. However, knowing that she had made a

significant error, she understood that Rickard would not heed her words at the moment.

As for Ernest, he would do everything in his power to bring Rickard and Hesper together as a couple if

he discovered their ongoing communication, since he was more inclined towards their union.

"This is terrible..." Julie muttered to herself, leaving Wendy bewildered.

"What's wrong?" Wendy inquired.

Ignoring her, Julie removed her apron and stormed out of the kitchen. Wendy followed closely behind

but was promptly pushed aside.

Julie had harbored dissatisfaction with Wendy for some time. Rickard had grown up alongside Wendy,

treating her with more respect than he showed his mother. If it were not for Wendy, why would Rickard

not listen to her?

Despite being pushed aside by Julie, Wendy continued to follow her, as she had been entrusted by

Rickard to keep an eye on his mother. Julie looked at Wendy with disdain before turning around to

send a message.

"Do you need to see this?" Julie shook her phone at Wendy, who lowered her head. Although she

sensed Julie's inexplicable hostility towards her, she did not say anything.

Instead, she nodded and said, "If you have finished sending the message, let's return to the kitchen."

"Hmph!" Julie sneered at Wendy before lifting her chin and heading back to the kitchen.

Wendy sighed in disappointment, but she did not voice her thoughts and followed Julie back to the

kitchen.

Hesper reached the meeting room effortlessly, facing no hindrances on her way. The employees were

unsure of her sudden appearance but greeted her respectfully as "Ms. Rivera". Although Hesper was

not currently a director in the company, she was likely to become the future lady boss, so it never hurt

to be courteous.

Benji had been waiting at the office door for a while. Hesper acknowledged him with a slight nod, and

he approached her, saying, "Mr. Duval is waiting for you in the meeting room. The legal and execution

team members will also attend today's meeting. I hope that's okay with you, Ms. Lane."

Hesper turned her head and gave him a small smile before responding, "It's the first time I've heard of

bringing team members to a business negotiation. Are you trying to intimidate us with numbers?"

Benji chuckled flatteringly, "Please don't be upset with me, Ms. Lane. This decision was made by Mr.

Duval, and I have no choice but to execute it."

Hesper knew exactly what he meant, but she had grown increasingly frustrated with Benji lately. It felt

like watching a greedy pig about to gobble up her well-cherished cabbage while having to keep up a

pleasant demeanor towards the pig.

With that in mind, Hesper gave Benji a well-deserved glare before entering the office.

Benji was left bewildered, unable to comprehend what had just happened. However, whenever he was

around Rickard and Hesper, their emotions were always difficult to decipher. He had grown Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
