A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Chapter 64

Only then did Rickard realize, and his eyes narrowed instantly. "What do you mean? Hesper found and met you?"

"Yeah, she came to me earlier today. She went directly to my house with a few men, seemingly her bodyguards..."

"Are you sure that it was her?" Rickard was shocked. He had been going around searching for her whereabouts for so long, but he had yet to hear of any news of Hesper.

'That woman seemed to have disappeared, completely receding from my life, and she just reappears out of nowhere without any warning.'

For a moment, Rickard doubted whether it was true.

The man's words brought him back to reality.

"I can swear to God, Mr. Duval, every word I said is true, Ms. Rivera also said that she'll make those who hurt her before pay the price!"

"Dick, don't listen to her nonsense!" Sophia could not sit back any longer and rushed forward to interrupt the conversation between the two men. "Hesper already left the country for so long, so why would she come back suudenly? And she now has bodyguards working for her? This is impossible as long as we think about it!"

Rickard looked away, and just when he struggled to make up his mind, a soft voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Is the person you're talking about my mommy?"

Rickard turned around, looked up, and saw Renfrew standing behind him quietly. A trace of anticipation could be seen on his tiny face.

Rickard felt a jolt in his chest cavity.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, now that he had obtained

news about her, he must search for her in order to be at ease.

"Benji." Rickard summoned Benji and ordered, "Send someone out now to look for Hesper's whereabouts, and report it back to me as soon as there's any news."

"Dick!" Sophia stomped her feet angrily. "Can you stop being so dumb?! Are you telling me that you truly believe in what this lunatic says? Why would you bring all this hassle onto yourself?

Plus, Juni has been waiting for you for three years. If she were to know that you're looking for Hesper at this time, can you imagine just how sad she would be?"

"You shut your mouth up." Rickard glared at her with an annoyed look. "I haven't even started teaching you a lesson about the drug incident. Now that there's a witness, you'd better watch out once I prove that what he just said is true."

"Dick..." Sophia panicked, but Rickard did not even give her a chance to speak again. He ordered someone to bring the man into his study for a proper interrogation.

An hour later, Rickard came out of the study and could not help but go to the bedroom where Hesper used to live.

Not many changes had happened here. All the arrangement of her furniture and decorations had been perfectly preserved.

Rickard rarely came here in the past three years, but after learning about the truth of the past, he could not help but feel guilty and regretful at this moment.

'She tried explaining to me, but I didn't listen. I even deliberately ignored her call when she was experiencing the incident.'

Thinking of Hesper's look when she asked him whether he did not answer her phone call on purpose, Rickard felt a sense of ache in his throbing heart.. I'm... I'm truly an *sshole.'

At this time, Sophia panicked and went to Madam Duval immediately.

"Mom, I'm doomed. Dick already knows about the thing that I did

back then! He'll definitely not let this slip!"

"What are you panicking about?"

Madam Duval was wearing a glamorous gress while she was working on her bonsai in the garden. However, her calm expression did not even change at all after hearing Sophia's words.

"It's just Hesper. We were able to deal with her with ease in the past, so what's the problem now? Even if she's returned here for real, so what?"
