A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 

“I… I need to make a call. I’m going back to my room.” 

Sophia forced a smile but couldn’t really smile when facing Rickard’s cold expression. She looked as if she was going to cry and it looked 

comical. 

“Rickard, what’s going on?” Julie unhappily said, feeling bad for her daughter. “Why the long face? Who made you angry?” 

Rickard kept this cold expression. “There’s something I need to ask the two of you. Wanda, can you please take Renfrew to play?’ 

Wanda was startled when she was suddenly spoken to but quickly took Renfrew away. 

Julie noticed that something was wrong and frowned. 

“Just say what you want to say. Why do you need to take the kid away?” 

“Because,” Rickard said, taking a deep breath, trying really hard to control his anger. “I’m afraid that what I’m going to say would 

traumatize him.” 

Rickard threw a folder at Sophia and coldly said, “Look at what you 

did.” 

Sophia just took a glance and her expression immediately changed.” Rickard, this… Someone is trying to frame me. I didn’t do this!” 

“You’re still trying to lie?” Rickard was infuriated. “I personally looked into this. To avoid wrongfully blaming you for something, I even triple- checked it! Three times! They all still pointed to you!” 

He had known that Sophia was spoiled, but he thought that it was alright because she was a girl. He never thought that she would think 

of hurting people! 

“Rickard, please don’t be angry. I’m sorry.” Sophia almost burst out in 

tears. 

Knowing well that they wouldn’t be able to hide this any longer, Julie spoke up. “Rickard, calm down. Your sister was young and naive at that time and made a mistake. That woman ended up fine anyway, so it was just a scare.” 

“Young and naive? Just a scare?” Rickard repeated as he laughed ironically. “I’ve checked the records. There was no way Sophia had that much money, so someone had to be funding her.” 

The man’s eyes turned red as he glared at them. “Sophia, if you don’t want to make me angry, you better come clean. Who gave you the money?” 

“I… I don’t know.” Sophia was frantic as tears ran down her face, not out of guilt, but out of fear. “Mom, please say something!” 

“What do you want me to say!” Julie frowned. Even though Rickard didn’t say it out loud, she knew her son well enough to know that he was suspecting that she gave the money. “Rickard, this is all in the past. Hesper already split up with you and has her own life now. What’s the point of going through all this trouble? Why are you tearing the family apart because of an outsider?”
