All Chapters of A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Meanwhile, In the CEO’s office of Duval Group. Benji watched the man who was focused on his work and quietly reminded him. “Mr. Duval, Mrs. Duval called you.”“I’m not blind.” Rickard sounded impatient. He heard when Hesper called, but when he remembered her saying that she no longer loved him, his heart grew cold. However, she never bothered calling back when he didn’t pick up the first time. Whenever he didn’t pick up before this, she would send a few anxious messages to him. It was evident that once a woman gives up, she would become very cold. However, Benji was worried. “Mr. Duval, Mrs. Duval hasn’t tried to contact you recently. Now that she suddenly called, do you think it’s something important? Why not call her back?”Rickard scoffed. “Unless a comet hits our home, there’s nothing that could be that urgent since we have so many bodyguards and helpers at home. Get out of here if you don’t want to just stand around. Stop bugging me.”Benji immediately shut his mout

Hesper stood in front of Julian. Rickard raised his brow as the air grew cold around them. “Hesper Rivera, do you have any idea what you’re doing?”“I do.” She raised her chin and met his dark gaze. “Ian helped me out a great deal. No one can kick him out.”“What if I insist?” Rickard’s gaze was so sharp it could cut someone. Julian didn’t want to put Hesper in a tough spot, so he walked forward. “There’s no need for scare tactics here. I'll leave if you take good care of her. I don’t want to see her in the hospital again. However, I will give you a piece of advise. It’s best for you to find out what happened before you come in with your holier-than-thou attitude.”Rickard squinted because he could tell if there was a hidden meaning. After Julian left, he asked, “What did he mean? What happened?”“You don’t know?” Hesper was surprised because she thought that he was there after finding out what had happened. Benji immediately explained. “Mr. Duval cares about your health, so

“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 d

The investigating officer looked at her. “But we’ve investigated this thoroughly, and the suspects were adamant that no one was ordering them around. We looked into their bank cards, phone records, and everything else. There were no suspicious transfers or calls.”Hesper couldn’t put a finger on it, but she knew that the two men were targeting her. “Please look into this again. I don’t want the actual culprits to get away!”The officer hesitantly looked at Rickard, and when he nodded, the officer agreed to avoid wrongly closing the case. “Alright, we’ll investigate further. Can you provide any evidence or witnesses? The person who saved you, for example?”Hesper hesitated, then shook her head. “I don’t know who he is, so I wouldn’t be able to contact him.”Rickard noticed the slight change in her demeanor and his eyes darkened. However, no matter how many times they interrogated the men, they refused to change their statements, so the outcome remained. The police were out o

When Rickard realized that she hadn't come home, he immediately sent people to search for her and personally went to get her, but what he got in return was her yelling at him. His eyes glazed over. “I haven’t signed the papers yet, Hesper. You’re being too arrogant.”He pushed her away, but because he used too much force, she fell backward into the wet bed. Rickard gave orders with no expression on his face. “Mrs. Duval is disoriented. Bring her to the car!”Two bodyguards walked next to Hesper, one on each side, and dragged her out while ignoring her struggles. “Rickard Duval, you’re crazy!”Hesper was distraught. She was wet from head to toe and was manhandled as if she was a criminal. She anxiously said, “It was just one night. Who actually cares about my safety? What’s the point of doing all this now?”“Of course, there’s a point.” Rickard’s eyes were sharp and cold as he glared at her. “It’s one thing if we care about you or not, another thing to ruin our family’s repu
