A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 611

"Mr. Duval, it’s nice to finally meet you. Please be nice to me." Riley winked at Rickard. If it was not for the gun in Riley's hand that was equipped with a silencer, others might actually suspect that there was a fling between the two of them.

Renfrew stared at Riley, who was standing in front of him, in surprise. Riley also noticed Renfrew’s gaze at this moment, stretched out his hand, and waved at him. "It’s been a long time, Ren. I didn’t expect you to remember me after only meeting me once. What a great honor."

The atmosphere in the ward was at a stalemate for a moment. Rickard’s men had already surrounded Riley and 013 from outside.

Both parties had guns, so Riley raised his eyebrows. "Oh my, Mr. Duval. You seem to be a very law-abiding man to me. I didn’t expect you to own guns... How courageous is this. I’ve always admired such men."

"Okay, enough with all this bullsh*t. The task on hand is our top priority." 013 interrupted Riley and then whispered from the side, "And something smells fishy."

‘I don’t see Benji here. This doesn’t feel right. After all, Benji is Rickard’s secretary and personal assistant; they’ve always been inseparable. So, why is Benji not here during such an important time when they’re trying to protect Renfrew? Then he most probably is at Hesper’s.’

The two parties were in a stalemate for a while. Riley also realized that they could not delay their plan any longer, so he took the lead to take a few steps forward and try to snatch Renfrew from Rickard’s hand, but he missed and got elbowed by Rickard instead.

"Aah... Mr. Duval, how can you hit a woman?"

As soon as Riley made a move, it seemed as if a switch had been flicked. 013 immediately led their men into a brawl with those of Rickard, while Rickard protected Renfrew in his arms and said coldly, "Can you even be considered a woman?"

"Hmm, why don’t I count?" Riley stuck his tongue out mischievously. "You've investigated me in advance, haven't you? From what I can see, it seems that you’ve been secretly in love with me for a long time. I’ll give you a chance to get me."

As he said so, Riley swept his leg across Rickard’s face, and Rickard barely sidestepped the kick. Riley did not give him a chance to catch his breath and punched him again, but Rickard grabbed him by his wrist.
