A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 86

Things had not been going too well for Sophia recently too. Ever since the fact that she had hired

someone to drug and harm Hesper back then was exposed, Rickard punished her to stay at home, and

she was not allowed to go anywhere.

Juniper deliberately defended Sophia when she saw her. “Isn’t Hesper too much? That incident was

from so long ago, and she waited this long to come back to settle the old score with you? As for

Rickard, how could he treat you like this?”

Sophia held back her anger and gritted her teeth as she said, “That b* tch turns out to be a scheming

one. She’s able to bewitch Dick into obsession with just a few words! He’s even ignored his biological

sister for that whore!” 2

She was never an obedient lady, so she immediately resisted when she heard that she was going to be

grounded. She even dragged Madam Duval along to intercede for her.

But Rickard only provided her with two options. “You either choose to be grounded or go abroad.”

Of course, Sophia did not want to go abroad. Living abroad meant having to encounter plenty of

unfamiliarities, so how could it be as comfortable and happy as her life here? So she could only choose

to stay at home reluctantly.

When Juniper heard that it had something to do with Hesper again, a trace of impatience flashed

across her eyes. “Sophia, speaking of which, I planned to ask you when I see you, but what happened

between Renfrew and Hesper? Is Rickard the one who allowed them to be together? Apart from that,

what kind of relationship does Hesper have with Rickard now?”

Sophia knew what she cared about and gave off a mocking smirk. Don’t worry too much. Dick will

never get together with that b*tch. It’s just that the b*tch didn’t come back here with good intentions this

time around and took Renfrew away while we weren’t paying

attention.”

“But…”

After saying so, Sophia stared at Juniper with a dissatisfied gaze.” However, if this goes on, who knows

if Dick will get back together with her. Speaking of which, you two have been going back and forth for

so long already. Why haven’t you knocked Hesper out of the park with your relationship with Dick?”

Juniper felt anxious about the matter, and she had to pretend to be aggrieved.

“You should know Rickard’s temperament better than I do. Back then, after the divorce, he told me that

he wanted to place more focus on Renfrew and had no time for a new relationship, so I thought that he

would be mine sooner or later even if I had to wait for him. But now, that slut has approached me and

bullied me!”

“What do you mean by that?”

Sophia had never been interested in finance, so she had no idea of what happened earlier today.

Juniper recounted what happened that day with bloodshot eyes, and Sophia responded angrily in an

instant. “What?! How come I didn’t know that she could be such a scheming b*tch?”

Seeing that Sophia’s emotion was almost at its peak, Juniper pretended to mention the consequences

unintentionally. “Actually, I don’t mind her bullying me, but judging from her current capability and

background, if we were to let her get back together with Rickard again, she’ll definitely go back to

investigating the incident where Renfrew fell off the building. By that time, I’m afraid that she won’t let

any of us get away unscathed.”

Sophia imagined a scene where her world would be turned upside down if Hesper were to get to the

bottom of the incident, and she could not help but frown.

Juniper then put on an aggrieved expression as she begged, “So,

Soph, we must stop them from investigating the matter, for both our wellbeing. Will you help me with

this?”

“But how can I help?”

‘Judging from Dick’s current attitude toward me, why would he listen

to me?’

But Juniper added cryptically, “He might not take us seriously, but don’t forget that he’s one of the most

filial people in the world. As long as you can get Madam Duval to talk to him…”

“I see!” Sophia’s eyes lit up, and she immediately went to talk to

Madam Duval.

Not long after, Rickard received a call from Madam Duval, asking him to come home for dinner tonight

no matter what.

A trace of exhaustion flashed across Rickard’s eyes, but he still went back to the Duvals’ residence

obediently. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Rickard’s back.” As soon as his car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Madam Duval walked out

with a smile.

“Mom.” Rickard greeted her and saw Juniper standing behind her. His long and narrow brows raised

slightly in an instant.

“Juniper heard that I’m feeling a little unwell, so she brought some supplements here to visit me. I’m the

one who asked her to stay back for dinner.” Madam Duval explained immediately while holding

Juniper’s arm and looking delighted.

As soon as he heard this, Rickard did not utter another word, nodded,

and strode forward.

“The meal is ready, let’s grab a seat in the dining hall.”
