A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 584

Julie attempted to defend herself by saying, "That's not what I meant…" But Sophia could tell from Rickard's expression that their actions had consequences. Knowing that Rickard would not let them off easily this time, Sophia felt defeated.

"Have you not committed enough wrongdoings in the past?" Rickard spoke in a calm tone, then turned to Benji. "Starting today, neither of them will have any authority to use the house's money. You will take care of their daily needs."

Benji was taken aback and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you sure about this, Mr. Duval?"

"Yes, just do as I have instructed."

Sophia felt a sense of relief upon hearing the punishment. She had anticipated a harsher punishment, but they were only losing their access to the house's money. Being a Duval mistress was already enough to ensure a worry-free life, so losing a bit of money was insignificant.

"I'll also arrange a marriage for Sophia soon. As for you, mother, after Sophia's wedding, you will return to the old mansion."

"What?" Sophia and Julie exclaimed in unison. It did not seem like Rickard was joking, so they both became flustered.

Sophia stood up and protested, "No, I won't get married!"

She had plans to marry a man from a prestigious family and was certain that Rickard wouldn't find a good match for her.

Upon seeing Sophia's reaction, Julie quickly said, "Dick, you can't be so heartless. Look at your sister. She's not fit to serve someone else. I know we've made a grave mistake, but please forgive us."
