A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 36



Chapter 36

“I don’t want the money. Give it back to him.” Hesper refused it expressionlessly. Her pride wasn’t

something that could be bought with a measly check.

Benji was going to say something, but she cut him off. “As for what happened today, I’ll make a police

report and let them handle it.”

“I’ll drive you home then.”

Hesper didn’t reject that. On the way back, Benji told her, “By the way, Mrs. Duval, the people at the

hospital said someone drove you there. I believe that person would have seen what happened. If you

could get him to be a witness and provide some information, it would help with the investigation.”

Hesper’s mind was filled with Matthew’s face, but she didn’t know who he was, so there was no chance

that she could get him to be a

witness.

The man was very well-dressed and was in an extravagant luxury car. He would probably not want to

get involved in this.

She calmly said, “He was just there at the right time. I don’t think it will be easy to track him down.”

Benji didn’t say anything more until they got to the Duvals’.

Hesper got out of the car, and everyone in the living room was shocked.

Rickard, who was on the couch, saw Hesper walk past him without even looking in his direction,

immediately going upstairs.

The man’s face fell after getting the cold shoulder, but he calmly looked toward Benji, who was walking

over. “Did you give her the money?”

He shook his head and handed the check to him. “Mrs. Duval says that she doesn’t want it.”

Rickar’s veins popped. What was the meaning of that? Why was she rejecting the money? This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing how he looked, Benji awkwardly said, “Mr. Duval, from what I heard, Mrs. Duval would prefer

justice. She wants the truth more than money.”

“Didn’t I ask someone to find out the truth? Does she expect me to make things up before that

happens?” Rickard tore the check up into confetti, his patience having worn thin.

“If she doesn’t want it, forget it. I, for one, want to see how much dignity she has.”

“…What’s going on? Why are you suddenly angry?”

The Duval ladies and Juniper walked over from the garden. Juniper could tell that the confetti on the

floor was a check by the Duval Group.

She raised her thin brows, curious, so she prodded.

“Rickard, what’s with the check?”

“It’s nothing.” Rickard didn’t want to talk about it. When he looked at her pretty face, the image of

Hesper accusing her of pushing her

down the stairs flashed across his mind.

A question that was deep in his mind popped up, and he casually asked, “Do you know where Hesper

went today?”

Juniper’s heart dropped, but she kept her pretty smile on. “No idea. After what happened previously,

Hesper seems to hold a grudge. She doesn’t really speak to us here and definitely wouldn’t tell us

where she’s going.”

“Really?” Rickar’s eyes were calm, but he didn’t look away. He didn’t want to miss any slight change.

“She was drugged with an

aphrodisiac when she was out.

“What?” Juniper was shocked. “How is she then? Is she alright?”

Rickard took a good look at her and said, “Do you want her to be alright or not?”
