Chapter 602


    1/2


    Even though Jenny had her reservations about Hugo, she couldn’t help but be moved.


    She felt a sense of regret. If circumstances were different, if there were another life or if she weren’t


    with Richard, she might have chosen Hugo.


    With eagerness,


    she got to her feet. “Thank you for helping me so much, Hughie. I’ll do my best to help you in the


    future.” Her sincerity was genuine, though her newfound kindness felt a bit out of ce.


    Impatience flickered in Hugo’s eyes, but he quickly reced it with tenderness and adoration to avoid


    arousing Jenny’s suspicion. “Okay, I got it.”


    Pearl found herself at a loss for words as she witnessed their affectionate exchange. She walked over


    to a nearby couch, sat down, and turned on the TV to watch some dramas. After all, she was a prisoner


    there, so she might as well make herselffortable.


    Since it was already past six in the evening, Jenny realized it was time to leave. She stood up to


    straighten her clothes, but an inexplicable rage welled up within her when she saw Pearl sitting


    “Hughie, I hate this woman very much. You must help me teach her a lesson.” While talking, Jenny


    held Hugo’s hand and yfully swayed it, showing a cute and aggrieved expression. She even pressed


    her body against his arm.


    In response, Hugo ced his hand on her waist, his face showing tenderness. “Why don’t you stay a


    little longer?”


    Since Jenny had regarded herself as Richard’s fiancee, she didn’t want to engage in any questionable


    behavior with Hugo. She blushed, scolded him yfully, and gave him a light punch.


    Then, she put some distance between them and said apologetically, “It’s already six in the evening. If I


    stay any longer, my agent might get suspicious. Plus, my career is just taking off. If paparazzi catch


    wind of me being in a strange man’s room, it could cause trouble again. I’lle visit you again.”


    She put her arms around Hugo’s neck and nted a kiss on his lips before leaving.


    Hugo nodded, watching her leave.

    After Jenny departed, Pearl, who had been leisurely watching TV, yfully winked at Hugo from the


    couch. “You’re quite the charmer with thedies, aren’t you?” She could sense that Hugo had lost all


    interest in Jenny, yet he was still willing to y along.


    “Would you like me to charm you too?”


    Hugo’s words irritated Pearl. “Hugo, watch your tongue.”


    “Why did youe with me, then, if you know I’m not a nice guy?” Hugo chuckled. “Oh, I forgot. I


    kidnapped you and brought you here.”


    Pearl became flustered. “How dare you ask me that!”


    Hugo was careful not to provoke Pearl further, as things could be difficult to handle. Unlike Jenny,


    Pearl was no pushover; she was like a wildcat, and one wrong move could result


    in sharp ws.


    “Alright, let’s make a deal.” Hugo finally revealed his purpose for bringing her there.


    Pearl sat up straight and muted the TV, asking with curiosity, “Finally, you’re going to tell me what you


    want. Why do you want to take me abroad?”


    “Why? I want to upset Richard because the love of his life is in my hands.” Hugo smiled. “And his


    beloved… is going to be engaged to me. Do you think he’ll be heartbroken when he bes aware


    of his feelings and learns about this one day?”


    Pearl’s expression changed at the mention of an engagement.
