Chapter 532


    "Acquire Duval Group''s loose shares."


    Renee paused out of shock.


    However, she did it anyway because it was Hesper''s decision.


    Hesper thought about it then called Matthew.


    Matthew frowned on the other side of the call. "Why are we getting involved with Rickard again? From


    what I know, he still has 43% of thepany''s shares and is the biggest shareholder in the group."


    "Yes, but you said he only has 43%," Hesper casually said. "What if someone finds a way to acquire all


    the shares from the other shareholders? He wouldn''t be the biggest shareholder anymore even if we


    just acquire 44%. "


    "...What are you trying to say?"


    Hesper replied, "Do you remember my promise to Mrs. Wight? She told me about Juniper''s n so that


    I would save Juniper."


    The message Ariana Wight sent to her was about that.


    In the past year, Carter and Juniper acquired Duval Group''s shares through various channels. The


    biggest reason they both got married was that the Wights held 5% of it.


    The 5% was a token of appreciation for the help the Wights gave the Duvals in the past. It wasn''t a


    small sum. Even if they didn''t do anything, they would still be able to live a normal life with just the


    dividend earned.


    Matthew realized what Carter and Juniper had been doing recently. They were ambitious and wanted


    to take over the Duval Group.


    "Now that Rickard is poisoned, I''m guessing he won''t have time to manage thepany. However, if


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Carter and Juniper get their way, Genecity and Emperion will both see a huge shift."


    The Wilsons weren''t an ordinary family to begin with. If they got their hands on Duval Group, it would


    impact Emperion too.


    "Alright, I''ll get it done."


    After hanging up, Hesper stood in front of the window and sent a message to Professor Miles.


    ***


    "He''ll be better after drinking that." The doctor frowned as he looked at the unconscious Rickard


    then sighed.


    Even when Rickard was paralyzed, the venom kept attacking his body. If they couldn''t find an antidote,


    Rickard''s life would end within a month''s time.


    Benji fed the medication to Rickard. When he saw Professor Miles'' expression, he knew that Rickard''s


    condition wasn''t looking good.


    The doctor said Rickard falling unconscious was not necessarily a bad thing, but now his expression


    looked more and more worried, so Benji couldn''t help but ask, "Is it really alright for him to be


    unconscious for so long?"


    He slept for two to three hours a day in the beginning, but now he could only stay awake for about


    seven to eight hours each day. The time he spent awake shortened over time; Benji was worried sick.


    Professor Miles tiredly rubbed his eyes.


    "Even though being unconscious helps slow down the spreading of the poison, his being awake for


    fewer and fewer hours a day is the result of the poison. One day he might never wake up."


    The doctor couldn''t hide it. Anyone who saw Rickard''s current condition would be able to tell that


    constantly staying unconscious wouldn''t be a good sign.


    "No news from Julian yet?"
