A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 

Juniper’s pupils constricted, and she finally came to her senses. “It’s you… You’re that medical genius?!” 

“How about it? Since you’ve recovered, don’t you think I’m good?” Hesper had a smirk on her face that could provoke anyone. Juniper was so exasperated that her expression changed drastically. 

‘I never would have guessed that the doctor who treated me was that b*tch, Hesper Rivera! And I actually paid her such a high reward!’ 

After realizing that she had been tricked, Juniper said angrily, “It turns out that you’ve been playing tricks on me from the very beginning. Did you force me to take those black pills on purpose?!” 

“It seems that you’re not as dumb as you look. You’ve got it all figured out.” Hesper sneered, not hiding her mockery in the slightest. 

Juniper, already having lost her cool, was about to hit Hesper. “You b*tch! We’ll see if I’ll beat you to death right here, right now!” 

“Ms. Wight, are you sure you want to make a move on me right here and now?” Hesper did not even try to dodge or evade her strike, showing no signs of fear, sneering instead. “If I were you, I wouldn’t do this at the banquet I’m hosting. Aren’t you afraid of becoming the laughingstock of the people of Genecity? Plus, since I’m here, don’t you want to know where exactly Rickard is right 

now?” 

Juniper stopped moving instantly. 

‘That’s right. If Hesper is here, then where is Rickard? Didn’t Madam Duval say that he was called away by Hesper?’ 

“Madam Duval, don’t you think you have some explaining to do?” 

“Geez, Juni, don’t listen to this b*tch. Why would I lie to you?” Julie quickly explained. “Rickard really was called away by her early in the morning, he claimed that he was heading to her place because Renfrew wasn’t feeling well. Otherwise, why would Rickard not want to come and see 

you?” 

After being fooled left and right, Juniper had also become suspicious. “Is that so?” 

Hesper tilted her head and scoffed mockingly. “Madam Duval, if I were in your shoes, I would have thoroughly done my research first before coming up with a lie. Are you sure that I called Rickard away?” 

“I…” Seeing that she sounded so firm when she made the statement, Julie dared not speak up. 

‘If she were to somehow prove her statement, wouldn’t my reply turn into another smack in the face later on?’ 

Now that she knew everyone was taking her for a fool, Juniper could not take it anymore. “Madam Duval, where exactly is Rickard?!” 

“Don’t worry, I… I know where he is….” Julie had no choice but to tell the truth. 

Juniper was furious. She gnashed her teeth and glared at the mother and daughter. “You keep telling me that you’ll find a way to make a match out of the two of us. Is this your way of making things work?”
