Chapter 425


    He sped up, desperate to escape, but in his haste, he forgot that the road ahead was a danger zone.


    He collided with a boulder by the side of the road, resulting in severe injuries. Tragically, his wife died


    instantly in the ident. The only survivor was their child, who had been protected by his wife during


    the crash.


    Kingsley, as he recounted this painful memory, couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of sorrow for his


    son and Dustan.

    Hugo, however, reacted with anger and bitterness. “So what? He was the one who forced you into that


    situation.”


    Kingsley’s tone was grave as he replied, “Hugo, you should be grateful that he raised you for so many


    years, provided you with a good education, and ensured your well-being!”


    Hugo, blinded by hatred, remained resolute. “Do you think I’ll forgive them just because you said so?


    That’s absurd. I hate them not only for taking your life but for everything else I’ve lost and endured. I’m


    going to get everything back!” His emotions overwhelmed him, and his eyes became bloodshot. He


    couldn’t believe what he was hearing.


    “What have you suffered?” Pearl frowned, puzzled.


    “I won’t forgive the Waldorfs, no matter what you say!” Hugo’s anger red, and he turned to Kingsley,


    ring at him with a mix of disappointment and resentment. “Especially you!”


    He stormed out, mming the door behind him.


    Kingsley copsed to the floor, tears streaming down his face. “It’s my fault… I’m to me…”


    Pearl helped him to his feet. “Mister Harrison, I told you, Hugo’s perception of his past is deeply


    distorted. It’s not surprising that he won’t listen to you.”


    Kingsley sighed. “I’m still his father, and that will never change. I’ll try to talk to him again.”


    With that, he left, leaving Pearl and Richard looking at each other, both feeling drained.


    “Richard, why do you think Hugo turned out that way?”


    Richard replied calmly, “It’s hard not to bepetitive when you grow up in an affluent family. I used to


    be like that.”


    This piqued Pearl’s interest. “Did you secretly feel sad when you thought you weren’t good enough?”


    Richard reminisced about his past. “There were five of us. I was the best academically. Hanzel and


    Mobius would follow me around. Every time we had an exam, Sean would tear up my test paper and


    im I got a zero. I would often be sent to my room without dinner.”


    Pearl burst intoughter. “Sean was evil even as a child?”


    Richard looked at her sadly. “You’re enjoying this?”


    Clearing her throat, Pearl apologized, “I’m sorry, go on. I promise I won’tugh unless I can’t hold it in.”


    Richard continued, “After midnight, when everyone was asleep, Hugo would bring food to me because


    he was afraid I’d be hungry.”


    Pearl touched her chin, finding Hugo’s kindness heartwarming. “Hugo was quite kind.”


    “But the one who tore up my test paper was actually Hugo.”


    Pearl was shocked. “But didn’t he bring food to you?”
