A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 578

Hearing this, Tristan panicked for a moment and quickly said, "Ms. Lane, what you just said is not

necessarily true. You see, we’ve worked together for so long, and we know each other’s companies

quite well. This isn’t something other companies can offer."

"Oh?" Hesper leaned back into her chair nonchalantly. "In the past, I really thought I knew you very

well, Mr. Weber, but I didn’t expect you to love bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

What Hesper hated the most in her life were deception and betrayal. What Tristan did to her last time in

order to curry favor with Rachael had already crossed the line.

It was true that what Tristan said was not wrong. Among all the other manufacturers, the quality and

price that others could offer might indeed be better than Tristan’s, but the time needed for another

company to break in with Lane Holdings was also something that the company needed to take into

consideration.

Now that Lane Holdings was still treading on thin ice, it would indeed be more comfortable to work with

a company that they had cooperated with before.

But if Tristan could not resolve her trust issue that day, the concept of working together would be a

hurdle for Hesper. Even if Tristan’s company was the most suitable candidate, Hesper would not hand

the contract to Tristan so easily.

"This..." Tristan wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and gave an apologetic smile. "You should

know that the Webers only got to where we are today because of the sudden acquisition of a wealth,

and we only thrived throughout all these years because of our cooperation with Lane Holdings.

Otherwise, we would’ve gone through all our fortune by now. After you left, Rachael lowered the price NôvelDrama.Org content.

for the contract. For us, two zeroes down means that many people who work for me won’t get paid.

Thus, I could only do everything in my power to please her."

Tristan was a clever and tactful man. He had always known how to be as slippery as an eel when it

came to negotiating deals, and that was why Hesper chose to work with him in the first place. After all,

not everyone in the business circle could impress her at first glance.

Hesper lowered her gaze, while Tristan continued to explain, "I know that I went too far the other day,

but it was a last resort from my side. Everyone in the business community knows that Rachael doesn’t

like you. That’s why I came up with such a terrible idea."

Hearing this, Hesper raised her eyebrows. "Rachael Lane doesn’t like me?"

"...Don’t you know about this?" Thinking of how Rachael dared not utter a single word in front of Hesper

the other day, Tristan pouted. "Many of the smaller business partners that you left behind at that time

were actually keen on the idea of continuing to work with Lane Holdings in the beginning, but all of

them got rejected by Ms. Rachael. There was more than one company that was forced to lower their

price, just like mine. The reasons that she gave to the partners varied, but anyone with a discerning

eye could see that all she wanted to do was to replace the things that you had brought into the

company when you were in power."

Hesper did not say anything.

After all, these could be regarded as the Lanes’ internal affairs, and it was not very appropriate for an

outsider to make one comment too many. However, since she had gotten to the bottom of everything

that happened in Lane Holdings while she was away, Hesper did not say anything and signed the

contract without any hesitation.

"Thank you so… So much, Ms. Lane."

Tristan snotted and burst into tears. Hesper was a little disgusted by his reaction, so she asked Renee

to come in and lead Tristan through the procedures at the legal department as soon as possible, then

contact the factory to start working.

Meanwhile, Hesper was still thinking about Rachael’s matter. She had just finished dealing with

Juniper, only for Rachael to step into the equation. It seemed to never end.

‘It’s no wonder that Rachael and Juniper were able to become friends. Both of them deserve to be

nominated for the best actress of the year.’

Sighing, Hesper only hoped that Matthew would keep a close eye on Rachael so that she would not

come out to disturb her. After all, her time and energy were very precious now, and it would be very

troublesome if she became distracted from work while dealing with Rachael.

On the other hand, she did not know how to actually deal with Rachael. Although Hesper thought she

should feel guilty toward her, her guilt had already been wiped out by Rachael’s repeated ill intentions.

"Ms. Lane..." Renee knocked on the door. When she saw Hesper’s subconscious frown, she hesitated

but still forced herself to continue. "The hospital just called me, saying that Young Master Renfrew’s

condition has suddenly deteriorated..."
