A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 322

Hesper opened her eyes in the darkness.

Time passed in a blur in the dimness. Laying on the ground, Hesper forced her eyes to open, but she

could barely see a thing. All she could remember was showing up in front of Seth Tucker’s

restaurant.

The snowflakes were still falling calmly in the night, melting into tiny water droplets as they landed on

Hesper’s eyelashes, further blurring her already hazy vision and turning the pitch black into a thick

layer of fuzz.

“Ough…”

Hesper softly coughed twice. A rustling sound came from beside her, and a beam of light shone. on

Hesper’s face. A moment later, the light moved closer. Hesper turned her head and saw a pair of white

sneakers.

“Ms. Lane, it’s been a while.”

All the strength in her body seemed to have escaped her. Hesper struggled with all her might to lift her

head just to catch a glimpse of the person in front of her. Having always been sensitive to harsh lights,

she could barely keep her eyes open. The figure leaned over, with a voice that was only inches away.

“Did you miss me?”

The man laughed. Just then, Hesper finally felt a morsel of her strength recovering and she reached

out and clenched the corner of the man’s shirt tightly. With another hand, she knocked out the flashlight

from the man’s palm. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seemingly taken by surprise by the fact Hesper still had the strength to struggle, the flashlight fell

to the ground without resistance. Finally able to open her eyes, Hesper saw the man’s eyes… and the

mole beneath.

After catching the next available flight, Rickard sat on the plane and felt powerless for the first time

ever.

Benji had already sent someone to track down Hesper, but the several-hour flight meant that he was

unable to receive any news, be it good news… or bad news.

Hesper did not have many enemies. She was just an ordinary orphan girl in the past. Although she had

done a lot after returning to the Lane Manor, they were all just business dealings. It did not make sense

for her to be targeted and kidnapped.

So, who could have possibly taken Hesper?

A person suddenly appeared in Rickard’s mind. Hesper did behave a little strangely at the auction

earlier, so he had Benji go through the surveillance footage and found that a suspicious person had

knocked out a waiter and snuck into the venue.

Hesper was chasing this person at the time.

And this was also the same person whom Juniper sent out to Salt City to take down Hesper.

There were five minutes left before the plane took off, so Rickard quickly forwarded the intel to Benji

and Instructed him to bring Juniper back to Duvals’ residence where she would be locked whilst he

monitored all her communications. If anyone reached out to Juniper, he should away Immediately track

their location.

“Got it.”

Benji hung up the phone. After a deep sigh, he sent someone to capture Juniper.

If something really did happen to Hesper this time, things would not look good for dear old

Juniper.

During the last five minutes of waiting for takeoff, a girl with pigtails walked by.

Since Rickard needed to catch the soonest flight available, the first-class cabin had been filled, so he

had to settle for economy class instead. The girl took out her plane ticket from her windbreaker pocket

and asked Rickard to let her through.

Rickard stood up. The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with only a small schoolbag on

her back. He could tell she was part Halwanese but had no idea what the other part was. The girl had

greyish-blue eyes and was absolutely stunning.

“Thanks.”
