Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1082

Hanzel stood there, stunned.

He could never have guessed that someone he had looked up to his whole life would want to hurt their own little brother, Mobius, who they had all grown up with.

Hanzel had spent most of his time in the entertainment world and didn't really keep up with family matters. But he was sure of one thing: even though Hugo was distant, he cared about their family. But now, it seemed like Hugo was only after the family's wealth.

"Hugo... I can't believe you would do such a thing." Hanzel stared at Hugo in shock. "Mobius was the youngest and always tagged along with us. He said you were quiet but kind, though it was hard to cheer you up. We thought we needed to make you smile more."

Hugo went quiet after hearing that.

"He always looked out for you. He'd call home from school, but you never answered. It was always Sean who talked to him. Mobius kept asking about you, wondering if you were still sad. I never imagined you would even think of hurting him." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hugo was skeptical. "Stop lying. Didn't he care more about Richard? Why act like we were close?"

"Are you even human, Hugo?" Sean punched him, and he fell to the floor. "We all saw how kind Mobius was to you, but you were too blind to see it. All you cared about was the money!"

Sean was furious.

Seeing the pain in Sean's eyes, Hugo didn't know what to say. Was he really wrong?

He had always felt neglected. First, because he was overweight, and then because of Richard. He felt like no one ever really cared about him.

"Everything has consequences, Hugo. You have to face what you've done!"

Hugo got up shakily and wiped blood from his mouth. "Fine, I'm ready to face them," he said.

Soon, they heard police sirens outside.

Hugo was surprised. "You called the police?"

"We told you there'd be consequences, and they're painful ones."

The police came in quickly and focused on Hugo.

Hugo shrugged and tried to act cool. "You have no proof, so the police can't do anything to me."

"Who says we don't have it?"

Pearl slammed a folder on the table. "This is the agreement you signed."

"So, this was your plan." Hugo realized why they hadn't agreed to his terms earlier.

"That's why we should nip it in the bud."
