A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 

Benji, who had sharp eyes, noticed that something was off with him. He cleared his throat. “Ms. Duval, you said you were drunk, but we checked the surveillance and your condition didn’t seem very natural.” 

Remembering that she was feeling hot all over, Sophia’s eyes widened. “Are you saying someone drugged me?” 

She couldn’t wait to put the blame on Hesper, so she blurted, “Was it the man who was with me? Why else could he have been there?” 

“No, not him.” Benji shook his head and explained “We checked the footage and that man only showed up after you were out. He didn’t get close to your alcohol, and-” 

“And what? Tell me.” She was on the edge of her seat. Why did he stop at such an important part? 

Benji looked at her with a strange expression. “And it looked like you were taking the lead, and you 

… led him to the hotel.” 

“Shut your mouth!” Sophia just wanted to hide in a hole, but it was too late. Rickard heard their conversation and suddenly snorted. 

“Look at you. That’s not how a girl from a good family is supposed to act. If you continue to ignore my warnings, I won’t mind marrying you off soon.” 

“No, I’m sorry.” Sophia, who was afraid, became obedient. 

Once they got home, Rickard immediately handed her to Julie so she could discipline her. 

When he came back out, Benji was still there. 

“Yes?” 

“Mr. Duval, we’ve gotten information from the person who was investigating Mrs. Duval and the 

Lanes.” 

Rickard paused. “Let’s speak in the study.” 

They both soon sat down in the study and Benji started reporting. “Last time, our men just tried to verify her identity but didn’t look into layers and layers of information. This time, they found something. Matthew does love Mrs. Duval like his sister, and he has a fiancé who he will marry next year.” 

Rickard unconsciously relaxed when he heard that. 

However, Benji continued. “But the Lanes arranged a marriage for Mrs. Duval too, and the man is a family friend, a Tucker. Nathaniel Tucker.” 

“Nathaniel Tucker?” 

He repeated the name, as it sounded familiar; someone must have mentioned it to him before. 

The fact that Hesper had a fiancé shocked him and made him ball up his fists. She must not marry anyone else. 

The next day. 

Hesper went to the office as usual. After some discussion with Drogon Tech, they successfully got on the right track. On top of that, since Matthew showed up during the launch, a lot of people who were interested in working with the Lanes came to meet her. 

It was, however, the first time Rickard showed up there.
