A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 582

Playing cards was just a matter of technique for Rickard, who was an expert in these things. He

believed that it had nothing to do with luck, and everyone was just competing with their own skills and

techniques. He even made a name for himself in one game.

However, Sophia lost $45,000 in one night.

"Not only that, Sophia isn't the only one who has gone to this gambling den often. Even her mother,

Julie, has frequented this gambling den many times," Renee said calmly. "They've probably contributed

a lot of money to that gambling den."

Hesper wondered how Renee managed to obtain so much information. She knew that gambling was

illegal in Halwanest, so those in this business were bound to be very cautious.

Renee looked awkward but cleared her throat and explained. "The owner of this gambling den had

some dealings with the Lanes in the past. I just sent a message to Mr. Lane, and they quickly provided

us with detailed information, which was even more detailed than surveillance footage."

"Had some dealings?" Hesper looked at Renee's expression and felt that these "dealings" were not just

any ordinary kind of dealings. Since it involved her older brother, Hesper was curious about their

nature.

"What kind of dealings?" she asked.

Hesper was Renee's savior. Except for the time when Hesper went abroad to study, Renee had always

followed her around. Therefore, she quickly pinpointed the timing.

"Was it the year I went abroad? Come to think of it, Matt did seem a little different after I came back..."

Hesper struggled to recall where exactly her brother was different.

Isaac chuckled and chimed in. "What kind of dealings could it be? The owner of that gambling den has

been blatantly pursuing Mr. Lane. It's just that Mr. Lane always gives her the cold shoulder. By the way,

the owner is a real beauty."

After hearing what Isaac said, Hesper suddenly realized something. When she came back that year,

those girls and women who had fawned over her brother seemed to have disappeared instantly. At the

time, Hesper even ridiculed Matthew for losing his charm.

It seemed like this owner of the gambling den known as Ms. Screwfield was responsible for it.

Hesper momentarily forgot about the main issue and was surprised by her own distraction. She NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

stopped smiling, picked up the document, and instructed, "Find a way to reveal this information to

Benji."

Renee was taken aback.

Hesper gave her a helpless look. "I can't get involved in this matter... It's a private affair of the Duvals,

after all. But do you think Rickard will let his mother and sister off the hook so easily?" Hesper said as

she glanced at the figures on the document.

If Sophia could lose $45,000 in one night, how much money had she and her mother lost in the past

month? Hesper didn't need to calculate it; she knew it had to be a substantial amount.

However, during the previous month, Rickard was severely ill, Hesper did not oversee the Duval family,

and Benji also lacked the authority to make significant decisions. It was already a struggle to keep the

Duval Group running, so they couldn't afford to divert their attention to Sophia and Julie.

It was likely that Julie and Sophia had saved up some money over the years, but their rapid spending

rate meant that they could have blown through half of their savings in just one day. So where did they

find the money once they had exhausted their resources?

Renee had already sent the information to Benji, knowing that he would immediately pass it on to

Rickard. Benji was initially happy to receive the information, but his smile vanished as he read through

it.

As he continued to read, his brows furrowed deeply, and he let out a heavy sigh before forwarding the

information directly to Rickard. He felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Hesper and her team may not be

aware of Sopha and Julie's spending habits, but he knew it very well.
