A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 

Juniper was born with a delicate and captivating look, so as long as her beholder did not deliberately try to find fault in her appearance, she might even look a little innocent and artless. 

“You look nice.” Ariana nodded. “However, I’m here to tell you to not go to the charity gala tonight.” 

Ariana’s gaze and expression still looked gentle and amiable, but what she said did not seem to leave Juniper with any choices. 

Juniper’s expression turned cold instantly, and she stared at Ariana in confusion. 

“Why? I’ve been preparing for this event for a long time, and I only want to be there to…” Juniper’s eyes wandered out of focus for a split second, and she exclaimed with a frown, “I don’t care. I must attend the function tonight. If you don’t want me to go, shouldn’t you at least give me a valid reason?” 

Ariana nodded. “Rickard and Hesper will be attending the banquet tonight too, so I don’t want you to go. 

This is the reason.” 

‘Nowadays, there’s been so much ruckus going on between the Duvals and the Lanes, putting aside our family and company, even smaller companies are able to feel the tit-for-tat momentum between the two huge families. The commotion is showing a trend of becoming more and more intense recently. 

‘Speaking of which, Hesper is also no longer someone Juniper can easily frame and overpower only out of jealousy of her. She’s now someone who stands on the same level as Rickard and can even go against him by attacking his company. She and Juniper no longer belong in the same class anymore. So why can’t Juniper understand that?” 

“I’ll definitely attend the gala today, Mom… So don’t try to talk me out of it anymore.” 

Juniper let go of Ariana’s arm, turned around, and was about to leave, but Ariana stretched out her hand and grabbed her, not wanting her to leave and go out there to do something stupid like pestering Rickard 

again. 

“Juni…” 

“Stop!” 

” 

As soon as Juniper exerted force and jerked her arm backward, Ariana was pulled forward and lost her balance, her forehead hitting the corner of the cabinet as she fell. 

“…Mom, mom!” 

Blood gushed out of Ariana’s forehead in an instant, while Juniper stood beside her, covering her mouth. It took a while before she recovered from the trance, knelt down, and helped Ariana up. “Mom!” 

Ariana had completely lost consciousness. Juniper, at a loss, finally remembered to yell to summon a 

servant after some time. 

“I’ve called an ambulance and it should arrive soon, so don’t worry, Ms. Wight.” 

Juniper looked at Ariana, whose eyes were tightly closed, and bit her lower lip as if she had made up her mind in that instant. She then turned her head and said to the servant, “You must watch over my mother until she wakes up. I have something to do, and I have to go now. Call me if she wakes up!” 

“Ms. Wight?” The servant was a little shocked. 

However, after saying so, Juniper let go of Ariana’s hand, turned around, and went downstairs with her clutch purse in her hand.
