A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

"Do you know anything about this project?"

Hesper went straightforward. Isaac hesitated when he saw the name of the project, then chuckled.

"This doesn't seem to be something Rachael closed... Do you remember the bunch of agreements signed with Mr. Duval? This is one of them. Rachael secretly started it while ignoring Mr. Lane Sr., who was sick."

Isaac's words stirred Hesper's memory. Rickard gave her so many agreements, she didn't even have time to start them all, so she didn't see it.

"Now that it's started, we should finish it. This is a good project; we might need it to rebuild the company."

Isaac cleared her throat when he saw Hesper being so honest, but he didn't leave.

Hesper didn't notice anything, but when she saw him, she knew there was more to what he said. Her curiosity was picked. "What?... Is there something I don't know about in this agreement?" Isaac nodded.

"Rachael started the project without approval because she was worried that Matthew Lane would find out. Rachael didn't even let the legal team check the agreement before starting." Isaac frowned. "When they looked into it, they realized that one of the terms was that party A would have to unconditionally accept three conditions stated by party B."

Hesper fell silent.

"I have to unconditionally accept three conditions set by Rickard?" Hesper scoffed and stood up then threw the file on the table. "The person who started the project should be responsible for those. Rachael knew that the agreement was from Duval Group, a competitor, yet she didn't bother to check it?"

Isaac could tell that she was angry, so he didn't say anything. Now that Rachael was back in Emperion and under the wings of the Lane family, Hesper had to clean up the mess she made.

"I need to take some time off this weekend to return to Emperion." Hesper's eyes grew dark. "I thought Rachael would have an idea about what should or shouldn't be done, but I guess I have to make it clear to her."

Hesper wasn't a pushover. She could understand if Rachael didn't know how to run a company, and she could also understand if Rachael wanted to take credit, but when it involved the company, how could she be so careless...

What if Rickard wrote something more severe in the agreement?

"Alright, I'll arrange for it."

Isaac left and bumped into Renee. They exchanged looks, and Renee knew that Hesper was angry about something.

"Have we found a marrow match for young master?"

Renee shook her head. Finding a match wasn't an easy task, so it couldn't be rushed. Fortunately, Renfrew's condition was still good, so he could still hang in there for a while.

"I came here to tell you that Renfrew is in stable condition."
