Things had not been going too well for Sophia recently too. Ever since the fact that she had hired
someone to drug and harm Hesper back then was exposed, Rickard punished her to stay at home, and
she was not allowed to go anywhere.
Juniper deliberately defended Sophia when she saw her. “Isn’t Hesper too much? That incident was
from so long ago, and she waited this long to come back to settle the old score with you? As for
Rickard, how could he treat you like this?”
Sophia held back her anger and gritted her teeth as she said, “That b* tch turns out to be a scheming
one. She’s able to bewitch Dick into obsession with just a few words! He’s even ignored his biological
sister for that whore!” 2
She was never an obedient lady, so she immediately resisted when she heard that she was going to be
grounded. She even dragged Madam Duval along to intercede for her.
But Rickard only provided her with two options. “You either choose to be grounded or go abroad.”
Of course, Sophia did not want to go abroad. Living abroad meant having to encounter plenty of
unfamiliarities, so how could it be as comfortable and happy as her life here? So she could only choose Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
to stay at home reluctantly.
When Juniper heard that it had something to do with Hesper again, a trace of impatience flashed
across her eyes. “Sophia, speaking of which, I planned to ask you when I see you, but what happened
between Renfrew and Hesper? Is Rickard the one who allowed them to be together? Apart from that,
what kind of relationship does Hesper have with Rickard now?”
Sophia knew what she cared about and gave off a mocking smirk. Don’t worry too much. Dick will
never get together with that b*tch. It’s just that the b*tch didn’t come back here with good intentions this
time around and took Renfrew away while we weren’t paying
attention.”
“But…”
After saying so, Sophia stared at Juniper with a dissatisfied gaze.” However, if this goes on, who knows
if Dick will get back together with her. Speaking of which, you two have been going back and forth for
so long already. Why haven’t you knocked Hesper out of the park with your relationship with Dick?”
Juniper felt anxious about the matter, and she had to pretend to be aggrieved.
“You should know Rickard’s temperament better than I do. Back then, after the divorce, he told me that
he wanted to place more focus on Renfrew and had no time for a new relationship, so I thought that he
would be mine sooner or later even if I had to wait for him. But now, that slut has approached me and
bullied me!”
“What do you mean by that?”
Sophia had never been interested in finance, so she had no idea of what happened earlier today.
Juniper recounted what happened that day with bloodshot eyes, and Sophia responded angrily in an
instant. “What?! How come I didn’t know that she could be such a scheming b*tch?”
Seeing that Sophia’s emotion was almost at its peak, Juniper pretended to mention the consequences
unintentionally. “Actually, I don’t mind her bullying me, but judging from her current capability and
background, if we were to let her get back together with Rickard again, she’ll definitely go back to
investigating the incident where Renfrew fell off the building. By that time, I’m afraid that she won’t let
any of us get away unscathed.”
Sophia imagined a scene where her world would be turned upside down if Hesper were to get to the
bottom of the incident, and she could not help but frown.
Juniper then put on an aggrieved expression as she begged, “So,
Soph, we must stop them from investigating the matter, for both our wellbeing. Will you help me with
this?”
“But how can I help?”
‘Judging from Dick’s current attitude toward me, why would he listen
to me?’
But Juniper added cryptically, “He might not take us seriously, but don’t forget that he’s one of the most
filial people in the world. As long as you can get Madam Duval to talk to him…”
“I see!” Sophia’s eyes lit up, and she immediately went to talk to
Madam Duval.
Not long after, Rickard received a call from Madam Duval, asking him to come home for dinner tonight
no matter what.
A trace of exhaustion flashed across Rickard’s eyes, but he still went back to the Duvals’ residence
obediently.
“Rickard’s back.” As soon as his car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Madam Duval walked out
with a smile.
“Mom.” Rickard greeted her and saw Juniper standing behind her. His long and narrow brows raised
slightly in an instant.
“Juniper heard that I’m feeling a little unwell, so she brought some supplements here to visit me. I’m the
one who asked her to stay back for dinner.” Madam Duval explained immediately while holding
Juniper’s arm and looking delighted.
As soon as he heard this, Rickard did not utter another word, nodded,
and strode forward.
“The meal is ready, let’s grab a seat in the dining hall.”
