A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 

Ernest lived a simple life. He founded Duval Group and couldn’t stand seeing them think that they were better than other people. 

He said in an annoyed tone. “You know that Rickard is the capable one, so he doesn’t need you. All you have is that sharp tongue?” 

“No!” Julie thought that she was misunderstood and felt even more annoyed by Ernest. 

She knew that nothing good would come out of the old man’s return! 

But Ernest wasn’t done yet. He sat down on the chair, his eyes fearsome. 

“I wasn’t feeling my best and didn’t pay too much attention to the family, but now that I’m back, I won’t let you do whatever you want anymore. Do you understand?” 

Julie paused. “Dad… Are you going to run the household?” 

“If you continue running it, I don’t know what more will happen. Do you have anything to say about me taking over?” 

Of course she had something to say. She had been in charge of the household for so long and was very used to barking out orders at the helpers. 

Now that he was taking over, she would have to follow what he said. 

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. You’re not in your best health. What if you get too tired=” 

“That’s none of your concern. I have a good mind. Ernest didn’t give her a chance to speak and started setting new rules with the old helper who was standing by his side. 

Julie bit her lip but didn’t dare defy him, so all she could do was wait for Rickard to come home. 

However, when he came back, he didn’t hesitate to say, “Grandpa’s decision is great. Just do as he says.” 

“Rickard! How could you go against me too?” Julle’s eyes turned red and she started throwing a tantrum. “I brought you up and went through so much hardship. Now I can finally manage the household, yet you’re going to let grandpa strip that away? People are going to make a joke out of me!” 

Rickard didn’t hesitate to call her out. “Grandpa was the one who brought me up and educated me. You said you went through a lot, but everything was done by the helpers. If you think that that was tough, then you should rest well after this.” 

He turned and left without looking back, no matter how much Julie called out to him. 

“There he goes. No one is respecting me anymore!” Julie angrily threw a glass to the floor. 

Smash! The sound of glass breaking was crisp. 

“Mom, keep it down or else Grandpa is going to be angry!” Sophia quickly stopped her, but Julie’s chest was still heaving. 

“Let him come, then! I don’t even have freedom in my own home?” She was just saying that, but if
