Chapter 540


    Hesper''s presence managed topel everyone there. Furthermore, she held at least 43% of the


    shares, so any smart person would know that she was there to challenge Carter for thepany.


    Carter leaned forward to get closer to Hesper. "Ms. Lane, I''m sure you hate Mr. Duval. Why don''t we


    work together and turn the Duval Group into the Rivera Group? Tsk tsk, that sounds like a good name."


    Renee put out her hand to block Carter with an icy expression. "Control yourself, Mr. Wilson."


    "...Fine, self-control." Carter sat up straight but still tried to convince Hesper. "Think about it, Ms. Lane.


    We can manage thepany together. What''s it called? Co-managing? We could make Rickard fall to


    his knees begging us, hmm?"


    "Carter!" Juniper observed the expression of all the shareholders and felt embarrassed. She tugged at


    his arm and whispered, "Enough. Don''t forget why we''re here."


    Carter pulled his arm around while still keeping his eyes on Hesper. He smiled. "How about it?"


    "It''s a sweet fantasy." Even though Hesper said that, her eyes were on Juniper, teasing her. Then, she


    smiled. "Even though it isn''t a bad idea, I''m not here to y pretend with you, Mr. Carter. I''m very


    interested in taking over thepany. You see, I''m very selfish and don''t like sharing."


    Carter raised his brows. "Oh? Really? I guess I underestimated you."


    Benji watched their exchange nervously. Carter sounded so confident that it made him anxious.


    "If that''s the case, I guess I won''t be nice anymore." Carter raised his brow and seemed sad. "Now that


    everyone has made their intentions clear, it''s time to find out who holds more shares."


    The opinion of everyone else there didn''t matter because they all knew. What they held had been sold


    to either side, so they had only showed up to see how it would end.


    Benji''s heart grew cold.


    Carter must have brought it up because he was very sure.


    Was the Duval Group going to be stolen? Benji lowered his head. He had been working alongside


    Rickard since he graduated from university and witnessed all the milestones of thepany. If it was


    the end of Duval Group… He would be ashamed to face Rickard.


    "Alright, we''ll see how many shares we hold then," Hesper said.


    Everyone looked toward. She looked toward Renee, who opened the agreement. After all the


    percentages were added up, they had 49.4%, almost half.


    Benji''s heart shook. They only had so much timest night, so it wasn''t possible to get more loose


    shares. Benji knew Hesper and Matthew had done all they could.

    From the way Hesper spoke, Carter thought she had a lot more, but…


    "I''m sorry to break it you, Ms. Lane, but even though you hold a lot, I have more." Carter pped his


    hands and Juniper brought out their agreement. He sighed.


    "I don''t have a lot more, just 0.1% more. Thank you, Ms. Lane."


    Everyone''s eyes fell on the agreements on the table. Benji''s heart sank.


    Just 0.1%...
