Hugo had something he wanted to clarify, so he went ahead and opened the door. Right away, he noticed the room didn't have the colors Hanzel would use. Susan was at a loss for words. "This room was supposed to be Hanzel's, but Pearl moved in so she lived there temporarily."

It was pretty much what Hugo had thought.

He stepped inside, took a good look around, and then his eyes fell on a framed drawing. The drawing was adorable, like Pearl just doodled it without thinking much.

He touched the frame and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Susan watched Hugo and felt a bit uneasy. Did he have feelings for Pearl?

She tried to dismiss the thought, but it just wouldn't go away.

"Hugo, didn't you say you needed to talk to Richard about something?" Susan couldn't help but ask.

"I want to buy Waldorf Enterprises," Hugo revealed.

Susan was shocked. "What? What's going on with the company? Why do you want to buy it?"

Hugo pretended to look sad. "On the outside, it seems like Richard's doing a great job, but really, the company's just barely holding together. It was Dad's life's work. I can't just watch it fall apart." He made himself sound like a hero.

But Susan was no fool. She knew there was more to the story. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Hugo, that's your brother you're talking about. You can't be this harsh." Susan tried to sound gentler. "Don't you remember how hard your brother has worked to look after you? And now you're turning on him and burning bridges?"

"Burning bridges, you say?" Hugo laughed out loud. "Missus Waldorf, I call you 'mom' out of respect, but haven't you always favored him over me?"

Hugo would never forget how Dustan and Susan had sent Richard to the company for training, making him the heir, while Hugo, not being blood-related, wasn't even allowed in.

They said office work wasn't for him and it was all for the best. Richard was more suitable and would take care of everything later.

What a joke.

"If you can't treat us equally, I had to do what I could," Hugo said.

"Hugo!"

Susan reached out to him, wanting to offer some advice, but he shook her hand off.

"Don't touch me! I'm going to buy Waldorf Enterprises today whether you like it or not." Shocked, Susan fell to the floor.

"What's going on here?" A furious voice came from behind.

Hugo turned to see Richard and Pearl quickly approaching, both looking angry.

"What? I didn't do anything."
