A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 

Rickard wanted to say something, but a commotion could already be heard coming from behind him. 

Hesper stared at him indifferently. “Do you still want to subdue me here?” 

Rickard did not budge at all, and during this short period of hesitation, Isaac had already caught up to them with the other bodyguards and shielded Hesper behind him immediately. 

“Ms. Lane, are you okay?” 

“Yes.” Hesper shook her head. 

She then turned toward Rickard and said coldly, “I’ll make myself clear now once and for all. I don’t wish to see what happened today happen ever again. So, Mr. Duval, please pay more attention to your future actions!” 

She turned around with the men, ready to leave with them. 

Rickard was still not reconciled, so he gnashed his teeth and asked, ” Even if you have nothing to say to me, what about our son? You’ve been away for three years. Don’t you plan to meet him again?” 

Hesper stopped for a split second. 

‘Why would I not want to see him? I’m the one who gave birth to him. I’ve never stopped thinking about my baby every second of those three years.’ 

But she did not look back and straightened her posture. “That’s none of your business too, so stop intervening in my affairs.” 

After saying so, the group of people strode away. 

At this time, Benji caught up to Rickard. Seeing him standing alone in 

the corridor, he asked cautiously, “Mr. Duval, the young lady…” 

Rickard remained silent. The man who had always been aloof could not help but feel an indescribable loneliness at that moment. 

Benji thought for a bit and comforted him. “The young lady has changed a lot in the past few years. Perhaps she still hasn’t let go of the past, and that’s why she still has a very repulsive attitude towards you. I think it’ll improve as time goes by.” 

Thinking of the changes that had happened to her, countless doubts appeared at the top of Rickard’s mind. “Go and find out how she became the director of Lane Holdings. And who are those bodyguards who were addressing her as Ms. Lane just now? It’s best to get to the bottom of what she’s done in the past three years.” 

“Okay, I’m on it.” Benji agreed immediately. 

‘We couldn’t find anything before this, but now that the young lady has resurfaced, it’ll be much easier to investigate from now on. But…’ 

He suddenly remembered something and handed a document to Rickard. “Mr. Duval, we’ve got our hands on more information about the person who hired those men to drug the young lady back then. Ms. Duval was indeed the one who did it. And Madam Duval… She probably knows about it too.” 

Because they had found a large amount of money being transferred to that man through Sophia’s bank account, and the amount was so large that it was not a number that Sophia could pay out of her own pocket at the time, that could only mean one thing. There must be someone lending her a helping hand from behind the curtains. 

Thinking of his mother and sister doing such a thing without telling him, Rickard shivered for a split second. 

‘Hesper was still my wife back, and grandfather even showed his full support toward our marriage, yet they still had the guts to do 

something like this to her. So what would they do to her if she had no
