“Turn over a new leaf? I didn’t think what I did before was wrong.” Hugo snorted, bringing

Pearl back to reality.

He seemed just as he always had, but today, for some unknown reason, he insisted on

rescuing her.

“But you’re my savior, Pearl. After all, I owe you a favor so I genuinely want to help you

get out this time.”

Hugo stopped drinking and stood up, slowly approaching her.

Although Pearl knew that Hugo might not have ill intentions at this moment, she remained

cautious. “You said you’re going to save me, but how will you get me out with the tight

security here?”

“It’s quite easy, really. This villa used to belong to a friend of mine. I know every nook and

cranny of the underground passages. Otherwise, how do you think I got in here?”

Pearl’s eyes widened. “No way…

Hugo was incredibly mysterious, and his entire being seemed shrouded in secrets.

“Who is this friend of yours?”

“I can’t tell you that for now,” Hugo replied with a faint smile that had lost some of its

intensity.

While Hugo appeared to be the same person, something about his demeanor was entirely

Hugo put on a seemingly concerned expression, but Pearl had her suspicions. “Are you

Hugo chuckled. “You’re overthinking it. What would I gain by suffocating you? Let’s see…

If you marry Sean, and Jenny marries Richard, what good would it do for me?” His words.

sounded nonchalant but carried a genuine sentiment.

Pearl nodded and entered the tunnel.

True to his word, she saw a faint source of light ahead after the entrance was sealed. She

walked toward it and soon emerged into the open.

It was evening, and the sky was dark.

Pearl looked back and realized she was quite far from the mansion. The massive structure

She took out her ring and tried to contact Wayne. Just as the connection was established,

a tall figure appeared beside her.
