Chapter 487
"Ahem!" Isaac nudged at Rachael when his attempt to notify her failed. Rachael was in a bad mood
right now. When Isaac nudged at her, she raised her head and red at him. It was only then that she
realized Isaac''s expression was ugly.
Even though Rachael was the true heir of the Lanes, she did not dare to say anything when Isaac''s
expression turned dark. Suddenly, she realized that her surroundings were a bit too quiet. She looked
around and remembered that she was here to attend the shareholder meeting.
"It seems like you''re really busy, Ms. Lane. These messages keeping in one after another. I''m sure
they''re even more important than managing Lane Holdings, right?" A certain shareholder chuckled
mockingly.
In fact, who was in charge of Lane Holdings was the least of these shareholders'' concern. As long as
they could earn enough money, they did not care who owned thepany.
However, thepany''s profits had obviously declined ever since Hesper left, and Rachael did not
seem to know anything. Not only was she unable to speak or act properly, but she was also naive.
"Sorry, sorry." Rachael knew she had done something wrong and kept apologizing while Isaac sighed
behind her.
"Today we''re going to discuss Lane Holdings'' future development direction for the next six months. The
previous projects have beenpleted satisfactorily, but it seems that you haven''t secured any new
projects in the first half of the year, Ms. Lane."
Rachael''s heart skipped a beat when someone mentioned her name.
She did not know anything about managing projects. When she was asked to entertain some of their
clients, she did not have the slightest clue of what they were talking about. The good thing was that she
still had Renee to help her entertain those clients, or else it would have been aplete disaster.
She did not even know how to make a quote. How could she negotiate with a group of people who
were talking about things she could not understand?
In the midst of her panic, Rachael suddenly remembered the projects Hesper had left before she left.
Those were projects that Rickard gave them. Rachael had already consulted Juniper before and knew
that those projects would keep her well-fed and clothed for several months if they wereunched.
"I… I have some ideas," Rachael stammered.
Isaac frowned. He knew better than anyone else what Rachael did everyday, so there was no chance
that she had any idea of what to do.
"Really? Enlighten us please, Ms. Lane."

Without looking at Isaac, Rachael said, "I know that before Hesper left the Lanes, she had many
projects that were handed over to her by Rickard. They''re all in Matt''s hands, but he has never told
anyone about them."
"Ms. Lane!" Frowning, Isaac grabbed her and whispered, "Didn''t we already talk about this before?
Those don''t belong to you. You can''t touch them."
Ignoring Isaac, Rachael continued, "The Duval Group and Lane Holdings arepetitors. Although
Rickard hasn''t done anything now because of our rtionship, who knows when the Duvals will turn
around and bite us? If we don''t start those projects, will we just let them fall into the hands of our
"Rachael…"
The shareholders looked at each other in silence. It was true that Matthew had never mentioned these
projects to them, and what Rachael said made perfect sense. Although Hesper had already left the
Lanes, the benefits she had gained still belonged to the Lanes, right?
Isaac could tell from the expressions of the shareholders that they had all taken Rachael''s words to
heart.
Rachael felt a little pleased with herself.
''Hesper, haven''t you been making me live in your shadow? So, I''m sure you won''t mind if I use some of
what''s yours, right?'' she thought to herself.
"Who gave you the permission to use what Hesper owns?"
Rachael''s smile froze. She raised her head and saw Matthew, who had not been to thepany in a
long time.
"Matt…"
