Chapter 548


    Although Rickard’s matter could not be resolved for the time being, Hesper still had more things to


    tackle. She could not keep dying her work just because she could not get in touch with someone.


    After arranging for others to continue to search for Julian, Hesper’s new studio''s location was also


    determined.


    Jessie sat in her office, suffering from boredom. Although she was really happy when she first saw her


    enormous office, after a long time, it no longer felt special.


    "Ah, have I been assimted by capitalism too?" Jessie frowned and shook her head, then turned


    around and saw Hesper and another person walking into the studio.


    Seeing the "tiny studio" that Hesper had spoken about, Celine said with a wry smile, "I shouldn’t


    believe what you say, Ms. Rivera. With a studio of this size, if things work out, it definitely won''t be a


    simple and insignificantpany."


    "I can’t say that to you, can I? We’re really the only two designers in the studio right now," Hesper said


    with a smile.


    When she first thought of setting up her own studio, it was a suggestion given to her by Roberto.


    Although working at Eustoma gave her great prospects, she deserved better development, not to


    mention that she now had the financial power to support this n. How could working for someone else


    be asfortable as being the owner of apany?


    "Hesper!" Jessie jumped out of nowhere.


    Hesper had long gotten used to how she always made an appearance, so she subconsciously caught


    her and turned around. She saw Celine standing where she was, looking a little perplexed.


    Hesper introduced the two of them to each other. Jessie waved at Celine and greeted her as if they had


    been friends for ages. "Oh, it''s Celine. I know you. I followed you two obsessively through the whole


    Jessie could start a conversation with anyone; Hesper had never doubted this ability of hers. Hence,


    she asked the two of them to familiarize themselves with their new work environment and then walked


    out of the office before taking out the vibrating phone in her pocket.


    "Ms. Rivera, help!"


    Hearing Benji’s urgent voice, Hesper’s heart skipped a beat. "Did something happen to Rickard?"


    Benji was stunned for a split second. Realizing that Hesper seemed to have misunderstood something,


    he wiped the sweat off of his forehead. "It’s not about Mr. Duval, but Duval Group."


    Originally, Hesper’s heart was racing. When she heard his reply, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of


    relief then frowned. "What happened to Duval Group?"


    Benji continued bitterly. "After Carter and Juniper failed to seize control of thepany, they coerced


    the shareholders into purchasing their shares back at the original price. Now all of the shareholders


    and executives of thepany are gathered in Mr. Duval’s office, demanding that Mr. Duvale


    forward and give them an exnation."


    "They''re asking for an exnation?" Hesper scoffed. "If Rickard were awake now, they''d be the ones


    who would have some exining to do to him."


    "That’s the problem." Benji sighed. "Some of them might’ve guessed that something has gone wrong


    with Mr. Duval’s health. Although Professor Miles has taken care of Mr. Duval all this while and the


    family doctors that the Duvals usually call for medical advice are also very trustworthy, some of the


    medicines that Professor Miles needed had to be imported or bought elsewhere. I’m afraid that


    someone who’s involved in this part of the logistics leaked the news."


    Although Hesper was now thergest shareholder, she had not appeared in thepany, and all


    matters were handled by Benji during this period of time. Anyone with keen observation should be able


    to see that Hesper only appeared at the shareholder meeting to handle the emergency, and the actual


    owner of Duval Group was still Rickard.


    If the shareholders and high-level executives collectively turned against thepany at this moment,


    no matter how strong Duval Group was, it would crumble in only a few days.


    "Okay, I’ll head there right now."


    Hesper sent a message to Jessie, saying that she had some things to deal with right now and told her


    that she should treat Celine well. As for Jessie, she had already gotten used to Hesper being busy all

    the time, so she agreed without asking any further questions.
