Chapter 180

Hugo’s words were logical and impeccable.

Yes, he was right. After all, he had nothing to do with that incident. Abby asked him to come just to hide

her panic and expected that he could bring her hope.

But Abby didn’t anticipate that Hugo would harm her instead, even though he had been helping her.

“What do you mean, Hugo? Didn’t you promise to always help me?”

Abby’s composure shattered, a stark contrast to the calm she felt moments ago when she thought

Hugo was on her side. Now, incredulity filled her as Hugo had refused to testify for her.

“I don’t think we’re that close. Plus, everyone knows that you like Richard, and we’re just

acquaintances. Even if you claimed that we grew up together, we didn’t meet each other much. Why

should I vouch for you?”

“No, you conspired with me to frame both Richard and Pearl. You can’t do this to me now, or else I’ll

expose everything about you!”

Facing away from everyone, Hugo didn’t hide his fierceness as he glared at Abby. His voice, cool and

steady, was enough to intimidate her. “Do you have any proof? You’ll pay for your schemes, Abby.”

Finally, with a push from his hand, Hugo nearly made Abby slip and fall.

“Is there anything else you want to say?” Pearl’s laughter was unmistakable in the silence of the room.

“I…” Abby stammered faintly. No one heard her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a fruit knife on the table, and her lips twisted into a sinister

grin. In a swift move, seized the knife and held it against Susan’s throat.

She chose Susan because it was a little difficult to approach Richard and Pearl, given their alertness.

“Abby, what’s gotten into you?” Richard’s voice trembled, struggling to grasp Abby’s sudden

breakdown.

“I’ve loved you for years, Richard. Why did you fall for Pearl as soon as I returned? You all sided with

her against me, even trying to push me out. She’s deceived everyone, and now I’ve lost everything!

This is all your fault!” Abby’s voice echoed with a dangerous edge, her focus solely on her vengeance.

She wanted to kill Pearl and everyone in front of her.

Frowning, Richard made up his mind when he saw that Abby was about to slash Susan’s neck. He

softened his tone and said, Abby.”

Hearing her name spoken so tenderly by Richard, Abby hesitated. “What did you say?” she whispered

in shock.

“Abby, let’s get married.”

Abby couldn’t hold back her tears. “You’ve finally said it…”

While she was distracted, Hugo lunged and snatched her knife, giving her a kick. In the tussle, the

blade sliced his palm.

Seeing the blood, Pearl quickly tore a strip from a bedsheet and wrapped it around Hugo’s wound,

securing it tightly.

‘Be more careful next time. Make sure that’s treated properly, or it could get infected,” Pearl advised

Hugo.

For a moment, Hugo wondered if she truly cared about him, and he looked at his hand in a trance.

When reality snapped him back, he called the security guards over.

Defeated, Abby slumped to the ground, tears clouding her vision.

“I
