Kenji paused. This was part of why he was there.

Rickard getting involved in Lane family matters wasn't a good idea, but Kenji agreed. Even if they became enemies with Rachael Lane, if he didn't agree, he would have angered Hestia and the Deschamps. Kenji couldn't care less about Rachael Lane, but he still felt annoyed that his hand was forced.

"What's wrong? You don't have enough authority to decide this?"

Hestia crossed her legs and looked at Kenji with a smile. He cleared his throat and looked at Rachael.

"Please hand the agreement to me, Ms. Lane. I'll return it to you if nothing goes wrong." Kenji looked at Rachael without expression. He was half a foot taller than Rachael and it felt intimidating. He had been around a lot, so he wouldn't be someone who was easily dealt with.

Rachael shook but didn't hand out the agreement.

The agreement wasn't legal, she knew that better than anyone else, so she wouldn't let others just take what belonged to Hesper.

"Ms. Lane, give it to them..." Celine held onto Rachael's hand and whispered, "Hesper looks like a difficult person to deal with. This is just a studio, let it go."

The office wasn't huge, so even though her voice was soft, everyone could hear them.

Jessie balled up her fists.

"Celine, don't you have a guilty conscience? Hesper was so nice to you, but you took advantage and reaped so many benefits. I admit that you are talented, but you wouldn't be here without Hesper!" Hestia raised her hand, and Celine looked at her with red eyes.

She admitted that she betrayed Hepser, but Rachael was the sister she spent over a decade looking for. Everyone would have some sort of bias. She would rather repay Hesper's loss than give her more weight on the scale.

Jessie stood behind Hestia when she saw that.

"Just say it as it is. Having a friend like you is a failure, but I don't care about any of that." Hestia tilted her head. Kenji walked over and looked down at Rachael.

"I'm not here to discuss. We're here to clear things up."

Hestia smiled but her eyes were filled with disgust. It made Celine lower her head again.

"I'm going to take the agreement with me, whether you like it or not. You're not getting anything from me. Kenji, if Ms. Lane doesn't cooperate, we'll have to resort to legal ways and take what is mine."

Even though Hestia was more so speaking to him, Kenji was impressed by how convincing she was. She looked casual and easily offended, but this was how she would look when she wanted to be firm. Rachael mumbled something then finally handed the agreement to them.
