A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Chapter 63

Frightened, Sophia retreated back toward the living room immediately.

The man, breaking free from the knots and sticking his head out of the sack, saw Sophia at a glance.

The moment their gazes met, Sophia became shocked and stuttered nervously, "You, you..."

"Ms. Duval, please save me!" The man grabbed her thigh, hugging it tightly, and started yelling, disregarding Sophia's dimming expression. "You're the one who bribed me into drugging Ms. Rivera back then, and now she's returned. She located me and retaliated against me. You can't just leave me out there to her. I offended her only because I followed your orders, so you must keep me safe!"

"What nonsense are you spewing?"

Sophia's expression looked as gloomy as the night sky. In just a short while, many servants in the villa had been attracted by the commotion, and many of them even heard what he said just now.

Sophia gritted her teeth angrily. "I don't know you at all, so don't you dare give me this nonsense here! Someone, get this lunatic out of my sight!"

At the same time, she lowered her voice and whispered in the man's ear, "You'd better get lost and stop spitting all this bullsh*t here. Aren't you afraid of offending me?"

However, that man was not someone who would give up so easily. He was indeed afraid of offending Sophia, which was why he did not confess or sell her out even when he was caught by the police three

years ago.

But Hesper had now come back and even sought revenge on him.

Judging from the demeanor that she was exuding, it was obvious that she was now someone that he couldn't trifle with. If he were to

choose to not do anything, he would die an even worse death.

When a few servants came over to pull him away from Sophia, the man immediately started struggling,

"Ms. Duval, you can't just leave me out there to die! Your personal enmity toward Ms. Rivera was the reason you wanted me to tarnish her reputation. Now that she's putting all the blame on me, how do you expect me to survive out there?!"

"Shut your trap. Just shut the f*ck up!" Sophia was so furious that she dashed up to him and slapped him.

The man scurried around the villa to escape from her, causing a lot of ruckuses all of a sudden.

"Thump!" The man hit a hard chest out of the blue.

Rickard's keen glare looked so gloomy that he was on the brink of being able to kill someone with it. The hostility emanating from his body caused everyone to subconsciously remain silent. "What did you just say?" he uttered with extreme aggressiveness.

Sophia's heart skipped a beat and hurried forward to explain herself. Dick, don't listen to this lunatic's nonsense. I suspect that he's not in his right mind and he's come here to stage this play in order to obtain benefits out of this matter."

"You, shut up!" Rickard glared at her with his vicious gaze then pointed at the man in front of him. "You, speak up now."

The man was taken aback by his appearance, but he also knew that Rickard had a very powerful background, so he could only bite the bullet and go all out.

"A few years ago, Ms. Duval bribed my brother and me into drugging

Ms. Rivera, hoping that we would tarnish her chastity so that she would be driven away from the Duvals. But we didn't succeed, as someone managed to save Ms. Rivera."

"However, Ms. Rivera found me today and said that it's time for me to pay the price. But I only did it because Ms. Duval instigated it. That's why I've come here-to discuss countermeasures with Ms. Duval." Rickard was astonished by the belated truth.

"I see..." After calming down, he instantly remembered what Hesper

said to him back then.

'She told me that someone must be framing her. She even begged me to help her investigate the incident. But I chose to listen to Sophial and blamed her for everything that happened to her.' "It's all my fault..." Rickard muttered to himself, and his chest was instantly filled with guilt.

The man did not know what was wrong with Rickard. He only wanted him to save himself, so he begged, "Mr. Duval, I'm begging you. I know that what happened back then was my fault; I even went to jail for it. So even if Ms. Rivera wants to get revenge, she should go to the mastermind of the whole incident, not me!"
