Tiana squinted at him, “Why? Hugo, I’ve been by your side for so many years. Even if I haven’t achieved much, I’ve worked
hard. Now that you don’t need me, you just decide to kick me out? And I’ve already resigned from yourpany. What
gives you the right to treat me like this?”
“You know exactly why I’m doing this, Tiana. This is my final act of mercy for <i>you </i>after all these years at thepany.
Leave Port City, and I can pretend none of this ever happened,” Hugo said.
Tianaughed coldly, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I’m not leaving!”
Hugo’s gaze grew intense, “Do you really think what you’ve done is wless, that no one knows?<b>” </b>
Tiana froze, staring at him in disbelief before speaking, “I truly don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Hugo suddenly let out a coldugh, his eyes icy, “Don’t understand? You instructed Tim to go after Scarlett, aimed
everything at her, even helped him get rid of all the doctors. Do you really think no one would find out?” Hugo lowered his
voice, looking at her as he asked each word deliberately.
Tiana’s eyes darted around nervously, staying silent as she faced him.
“Tiana,” Hugo warned coldly, <i>“</i>Scarlett Adler barely escaped harm this time. If anything had happened to her, I wouldn’t
have let you off!”
Each word he spoke felt like a heavy stomp on her heart, shattering it into pieces.
Tiana looked at him, her fists clenched tightly as if she were in a battle. “Oh, really? You think I did this? Do you have any
proof?”
Seeing her continue to deny, Hugo suddenly realized that after all these years, he didn’t know the person standing before
him at all.
“If you have evidence, then have theme and arrest me!” Tiana challenged, meeting his gaze.

Hugo let out a coldugh, about to retort when he noticed a familiar figure passing through the lobby.
His eyes narrowed.
“Hugo,” Tiana said, feigning innocence and vulnerability, “I’ve loved you for so many years, stood by <i>you </i><i>for </i>so long, yet you’ve always ignored my true feelings. Now, to make me leave, you’re willing to pin such a <i>crime </i><i>on </i><i>me</i>. If that’s the case,
bring it on. I’m not going anywhere!”
She looked at him, her expression a mix of innocence and defiance.
After all, without evidence, she would never admit to anything!
As long as she didn’t confess, there was still a chance!
At this moment, Hugo had heard enough of her excuses. He turned to her and said, “I’ve said all I need to. Whether you
leave or not is your choice, but from now on, if you try anything sneaky, I won’t hold back!” With that, he stood up and
walked away.
:
Tiana wanted to say something as she watched him leave, but he was moving too quickly, giving her no chance at all.
Clenching her fists, she thought, Hugo, I won’t leave this ce!
Absolutely not!
Because I want to stay here and watch you lose everything!
You’ll eventually realize <i>who </i>truly cares for you in this world!
Scarlett wore a knee–length ck trench coat, revealing her slender, pale legs. With her long, wavy hair, she looked like a
star walking down the street.
Everyone at the hotel turned to look as she passed by.
Just as she reached the entrance, a hand grabbed her from behind.

Scarlett was startled and instinctively prepared to defend herself, but before she could react, Hugo took her hand in his
and pulled her close. “Scarlett,” he said.
“Adler, it’s me.”
Looking up, Scarlett saw Hugo and frowned.
“What are you doing here?” Hugo asked, his eyes lighting up.
Scarlett nced at him, “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?”
Noticing the curious nces from people around them, Hugo didn’t miss how they seemed glued to her. He reached out
and pulled Scarlett into a quiet corner, pinning her gently against the wall. “I’m here for negotiations. What about you?”
“I came here to…” Scarlett almost let him steer the conversation.
Why should she exin herself to him?
With a yful glint in her eyes, she countered, “Take a guess.”
Hugo chuckled instead of getting angry, “You didn’t follow me here, did you?”
Scarlett lowered her gaze, smiling softly, “Looks like your ego is running on imagination now.”
Hugo knew that wasn’t the case.
But seeing her here unexpectedly lifted his spirits.
Noticing herplexion, Hugo’s brow furrowed slightly, “You don’t look well. Are you feeling okay?”
Scarlett turned her face slightly. “It’s nothing.”
Hugo suddenly reached out and gently held her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
“What’s really going on?” he asked
The way he looked at her, it seemed like he wouldn’t let it go until she said something.

Scarlett frowned and blurted out, “It’s nothing, I just pulled on my wound earlier, and it hurt!”
Hugo’s eyes scanned her, not recalling touching her wound earlier. A flicker of concern passed through his dark eyes. “If
you’re still hurt, why leave the hospital? I’ll take you back.”
“No need.” Scarlett pulled away from his grasp.
Hugo turned back to her, his expression darkening.
“I just need to rest at home,” she said.
“Did you leave the hospital because you didn’t want to see me?” Hugo suddenly asked, looking at her intently.
Scarlett frowned, instinctively wanting to avoid his gaze. Today, Hugo’s eyes felt especially intense.
“It has nothing to do with you,” she replied.
“If it’s not about me, then why did you leave without a word? And why didn’t you answer my calls?” Hugo pressed on.
“I didn’t hear it.”
“Excuse.”
Even knowing it was an excuse, he still had to call it out. Sometimes, it’s better to let things slide, you know?
Scarlett didn’t know what to say.
Just then, Hugo walked closer to her. “I heard it was Yale who picked you up?”
Scarlett couldn’t deny it. “He came to visit and offered to take me home.”
“And I also heard he’s going toe by every day to change your bandages?” Hugo pressed on.
Scarlett looked up at him. “You seem to know everything. Who told you? Fourth?”
“That’s not important!” Hugo replied.
Looking at Scarlett’s face, she <b>was </b>undeniably beautiful, but there was a coolness to her beauty, a sense of distance that

made people want to get closer but unable to.
“Do you like him?” Hugo suddenly asked.

Even though he was sure that Scarlett wouldn’t be with Yale just because of his background, at this moment, he felt a bit
uncertain. He was afraid Scarlett might actually have feelings for him.
If that were true, the thought alone would drive him crazy!
