A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love By Oopsie Daisy Chapter 11

Rickard stepped forward abruptly and grabbed Julian by his collar. “Hesper is a member of the Duvals, and she will be with the Duvals even if she dies. Trying to get her to start her life again? Dream on!”

As he was speaking, he swung a punch at Julian’s face ferociously.

Hesper watched the scene incredulously. “Rickard! Have you lost your mind? Why are you beating him?”

Rickard grew even more furious after noticing how she defended Julian. “Why? Does it hurt you to watch?”

As he was speaking, he threw a few more punches.

Julian was a practicing doctor, so he was no match for Rickard. His face bruised and swelled up from the beating quickly.

“Stop it! Stop it, quick!”

Hesper’s eyes reddened with anger. Julian was the family that she did not have much of in the world, but he was beaten up ferociously by Rickard now.

“Rickard, if you hit him one more time, you can forget about working on grandfather’s matter together!” Hesper stretched her arms and defended Julian in anger.

Upon hearing her remark, the furious man gradually stopped.

Rickard narrowed his eyes in a dangerous manner. “What did you say?”

Hesper did not wish to threaten Rickard with Mr. Duval Sr., but there was nothing else she could do to stop him from hitting Julian. She could only brace herself to say, “Rickard, you can come at me if you hate me, don’t implicate others! I’m only staying with the Duvals for the sake of grandfather’s health. I’m not staying so your family can treat me inhumanely!”

“Good, very well. You’ve learned to talk back.” Rickard’s eyes were bloodshot from anger, and the veins on the back of his hands throbbed. He kicked over a rack next to him. “Hesper, how dare you threaten me for this man!”

“Who do you think you are, and how dare you!”

Rickard stretched out his arms in an attempt to grab her out of rage.

However, as soon as Rickard moved, Julian used his body to shield Hesper and wrapped his arms around her.

Rickard’s anger soared to its max when witnessing the scene. In fact, he felt like he wanted to tear up the people before him so he could let them experience the consequences of going against him.

“What’s going on?”

Juniper’s voice was heard coming from the door.

Rickard turned around and glanced at her. “Why are you here?”

Juniper was startled by the sight of the anger in his bloodshot eyes, but she feigned her calmness with great effort and said, “I went to meet Sophia at the Duvals’ residence and heard that Hesper was hospitalized, so I came to visit her with some healthy snacks.”

As she was speaking, she raised the box in her hands to show him.

The snacks in the box were all of superior quality food; she brought it to showcase her gentleness and thoughtfulness.

Rickard sneered. “That’s very kind of you, but it’s a shame that she doesn’t deserve it.”

“Huh, what do you mean?”

Juniper appeared to be dumbfounded, but in reality, she heard the loud quarrel from outside.

Rickard did not wish to continue fussing over the matter anymore, so he turned around nonchalantly and said, “Nothing. Let’s go.”

Juniper followed after him obediently and willingly.

Julian loosened his grip over Hesper and noticed that there was a blood backflow in the infusion tube on her arm. Her blood filled the whole tube, turning it bright red.

“Lie down, Hesper!”

Hesper was in pain as well, but she held back from talking about it earlier.

When everything was settled down, she said to Julian with fatigue, “I’m sorry that I got you beaten up for no reason earlier, Ian.”

“I’m fine. This trivial injury is nothing for a man. You, on the other hand… Is this how Rickard treats you at home too?”
