A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Chapter 46

Madam Duval was ruthless and did not show her any respect.

Ignoring her words, Hesper took a glance at everyone present and went upstairs without uttering a single word.

When she came to the baby's room, she immediately locked the door, took out the voice recording pen she had prepared before entering the villa, and held it tightly in the palm of her hand. After being treated unfairly so many times, Hesper had learned to prepare herself for such situations at all times. She deliberately provoked them only because she was waiting for them to blurt out

the truth.

Although the mother and daughter did not mention any actual

evidence during the whole conversation, their tone and attitude were already enough to prove just how miserable her life was in this

household.

"Baby, mommy will definitely obtain concrete evidence to prove them wrong."

Hesper hugged the child tightly in her embrace, left the room, and made another copy of the recording on another recording pen, leaving one of the pens in Rickard's study.

However, the news that Juniper had fallen ill reached Rickard's ear before he found out about the recording pen.

"Dick, this is bad. Hesper humiliated Juni earlier in the evening, causing Juni to run back home in the heavy rain without leaving a message behind. Because of that, she fell ill on her way back and fainted on the side of the road. Thank God one of our servants found her and brought her back here." 2

Sophia's voice echoed in the living room. Hesper did not hear what the person on the other end of the phone call said, but judging from the speed at which Sophia hung up the call, Rickard must have promised her to come home immediately.

She glanced at Sophia coldly, and the two exchanged gazes; a war between the two seemed imminent.

"Hesper Rivera, just you wait. Dick won't let you off so easily this time." When they crossed paths at the stairwell, Sophia threatened her and continued to go upstairs to take care of Juniper. Soon, Rickard's car appeared and stopped in the yard.

"Where's Juniper? How is she doing?" Before the man entered the villa, everyone in the building could already hear his voice.

Rickard hurried into the living room with a gloomy and cold aura.

Sophia had been waiting for his arrival for a long time. As soon as she saw him, her eyes turned bloodshot, and she called out, "Dick, Juni is..."

Judging solely from the expression that she was giving off, anyone' who did not know the details of Juniper's condition might think that she was so sick that she was about to die.

Rickard was taken aback, and his brows were creased. "What happened to her?"

"It'd be better for you to go to her room and see for yourself..."

Sophia cried and shook her head vigorously. Rickard could not figure out what she was trying to say, so he rushed toward the guest room with her.

Hesper glanced coldly at the brother and sister and followed them to the guest room without saying a word.

She wanted to know just what kind of play those women would put forward this time around.

In the guest room.

Juniper's cheeks looked flushed, her cheeks and forehead were covered with beads of sweat, and although her eyes were tightly closed, her whole body could not help but tremble as if she was being mentally haunted by a nightmare. She kept on murmuring, "No, I didn't..."

Rickard leaned closer to listen, but did not hear anything. He then turned to ask Sophia, "What is she talking about? What didn't she do?"

Sophia immediately dramatized the details, pinched her sleeves, and continued to explain aggrievedly, "This is all Hesper's fault. She was afraid that you'd do something to her to vent your anger after she came back from the hospital, so she deliberately slandered all of us. She even claimed that Juni is the one who planned the whole incident. to frame her. She also said that Juni has chosen to stay here because she wants to seduce you and added that she's even more shameless than a whore."

"I don't think anyone who gets slandered like this could bear such grievances, let alone Juni. So she ran out of the house despite the heavy rain and fell and fainted. According to the doctor's diagnosis, Juni might be severely depressed. That's why she's still in a coma."

"Hesper Rivera..." Rickard gnashed his teeth and uttered Hesper's name repetitively. He then swept his keen gaze across the room and saw Hesper standing behind the crowd.

He strode over and dragged her out of the crowd, confronting her. Tell me, is it true?"

Hesper responded calmly and answered quickly, "No."
