A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 594

Upon entering the office, Hesper immediately noticed Nathaniel seated behind the desk. Realizing that

there was no way for her and Renee to escape, she calmly shut the door.

"It's been a while," he said.

Hesper looked at Nathaniel. They were friends in the past, but she could barely recognize him now.

She eyed the trembling George and smirked. "It seems like you set a trap and have been waiting for

me to show up."

Seeing that they were already busted, George said with a quivering voice, "Ms. Lane, it wasn't me! I

didn't want to say those things either, but he has a gun!"

Ignoring his excuse, Hesper sneered and said, "Really, Mr. Halwart? If you didn't give the order, would

your staff produce those problematic machines? All of you are the same, so stop pretending to be

innocent."

After that, Hesper turned around to look at Nathaniel. "It really has been a long time since we've seen

each other, but if possible, I hope we won't meet again in the future."

Nathaniel couldn't help but feel a pang of hurt at her cold demeanor. When he pushed George to the

side, something fell to the corner from George's body.

Getting to his feet, Nathaniel walked toward Hesper.

"Why do you have to be so heartless? We used to be best friends. I like you very much, so you're the

last person I'd harm," Nathaniel said. He stretched his arm toward Hesper, attempting to help her tidy

up her hair like he used to in the past. However, Hesper turned her head sideways and avoided his

hand.

Hesper's expression remained stoic. "If your definition of not harming me includes actions such as

hurting my child or scheming against my family, being liked by you is a terrifying prospect."

Nathaniel paused, considering his words carefully. "I can choose not to harm you, but the condition is

that you aren't one of the Lanes."

Hesper did not know what he meant by that, but she was in no mood to argue with him. "I must take

George with me today. I hope you won't stop me."

"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to proceed," Nathaniel spoke gently but firmly. "I'm here to put an end

to the Duval Group once and for all, or else it will cause me trouble in Halwanest."

"What do you want?" Hesper frowned. "While it's true that your parents died on a mission, the Lanes

may not be entirely responsible. Have you ever questioned the truth behind their deaths? And

Benjamin..."

"That's enough," Nathaniel cut her off. His usually calm and gentle demeanor disappeared as he stared

fixedly at Hesper. "You know, Hesper, sometimes I really despise you."

"I feel the same way about you," Hesper retorted.

She did not want to waste her time with Nathaniel anymore, but before she could utter another word,

Nathaniel spoke up, his voice thick with surprise. "I didn't expect Renee to send the location so quickly.

Even Myriade couldn't intercept it. It's such a shame that our reunion has to end so soon."

Nathaniel lowered his face, his affectionate eyes were now filled with sadness. "I really didn't want to

hurt you. I never instructed 013 to attack you."

Hesper met Nathaniel's gaze and said, "What's the point of explaining this now? You're a madman.

Both Matt and I trusted you, believing you were our friend, yet you used us as pawns in your revenge

scheme. You don't deserve anyone's affection because you've never truly cared for anyone." All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Nathaniel remained silent for a moment before admitting, "Perhaps you're right."
