A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 695

Just when Hestia wondered who was inside the car, the window rolled down and a familiar face

appeared before their eyes. Jessie held Hestia's hand and took a step back.

"Why are you hiding from me? I'm going to eat you." Zikmund's voice rang out from the car. Hestia and

Jessie kept their distance from the car and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Ms. Deschamps, your complexion looks quite pale. Are you feeling unwell? By the way, is there no

one coming to pick you up?"

"It's none of your business," Jessie said, annoyance thick in her voice. She grabbed Hestia's hand and

whispered, "Don't mind him. Let's go."

"Wait! I heard you guys talking about Julian just now, right? If you guys want to know more about him,

you don't have to go to Rickard. You can just ask me."

Zikmund drove slowly and caught up with them.

Hestia and Jessie looked at each other after they heard what Zikmund said.

"We grew up together. I'm sure you guys know Rickard's temper very well. He won't pay attention to

those people around him," Zikmund said as he inwardly apologized to Rickard. After all, Rickard still Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

had a chance to get closer to Hestia, but things were different for him and Jessie.

If he missed this opportunity, there might not be another one.

Jessie and Hesper felt that Zikmund was right. They did not know what kind of person Julian was, but

they knew Rickard very well.

"Alright then. You'd better not lie to us. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."

Jessie got into the car first. Although Hestia felt it was unfair to Jessie, Jessie did not give her a chance

to reject Zikmund and got into the car first, so she had no choice but to enter the car as well.

"Why were you two asking about Julian? He's the quiet type…" Zikmund turned around to look at

Hestia and said, "It's just that we didn't expect that the dog that doesn't bark to be the one that bites the

hardest. He nearly killed Rickard last year."

Hestia frowned and Zikmund continued, "You probably don't remember these things, so let me start

from the beginning. It was Mr. Duval Sr. who brought you back from the orphanage, and you were the

one closest to him. Mr. Duval Sr. helped a lot of children over the years, and Julian was one of them.

He was from the same batch of children as you that Mr. Duval Sr. brought from the orphanage."

"I see. So that's how it is." Jessie nodded. "Hessy rarely talks to me about her family matters. So,

based on what you said, she must have a good relationship with Julian. Is it possible that his

unrequited love for her is the reason why he harbors animosity towards her?"

"Animosity?" Zikmund shook his head. "Although Julian's character is quite questionable, he treated

Hesper quite well. The intensity of his emotions towards Hesper and Rickard are polar opposites. His

hatred for Rickard is as extreme as his love for Hesper. He laced Dick's food with poison. Rickard then

only had a month left to live. Fortunately, Hesper… That's you, managed to obtain the antidote from

Nathaniel. Otherwise, you would only be able to see Rickard's face in the cemetery."

Hestia could not help but imagine the scene but then shook her head and returned to the main topic.

"Do you have his photo?"
