Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) -
Chapter 1088
"Will you let her go if I agree to your terms?"
Hugo nodded. "Yes, I'll let her go if you agree."
"I'll go sign the agreement upstairs now."
"Why go upstairs? Just print it and bring it here." Hugo sounded a bit rushed and annoyed.
No one saw Silas sneaking behind Hugo, waiting for the right moment to act.
Richard, pretending not to notice Silas, calmly asked Hugo, "Can we negotiate? Let Pearl go, and I'll give you all my shares in the company."
"How do I know you'll keep your word? What if you don't follow through after I release her?" Hugo was cautious, suspecting they might be planning something.
"Transferring the president's shares isn't straightforward. We need all our family members to vote and decide."
Hugo couldn't care less about it and replied with a cold smile, "That's your problem to figure out."
Right after that, Silas made his move and aimed for the knife in Hugo's hand.
Hugo was caught off guard. He was shocked to see the knife fall from his hand.
In that moment, Pearl used her elbow to hit Hugo's crotch, a weak spot her self-defense class had taught her about.
As expected, Hugo bent over in pain. Seizing the moment, Pearl ran to Richard and felt safe in his embrace. Richard hugged her tightly and was extra careful not to lose her again. He pulled her to stand behind him.
Silas stepped back, and everyone's attention turned to Hugo.
Finally, Hanzel spoke up, "You should repent about what you've done, Hugo."
Hugo stared at Hanzel, seeing his genuine concern, but felt nothing inside. There was no way he could turn around.
"It's too late for me."
"No, it's not, Turn yourself in. If you really say sorry to Mobius and Richard, I believe they'll forgive you
eventually." Hanzel held onto hope for Hugo's redemption. S
"Why bother talking to him? He doesn't think he did anything wrong," Sean said, convinced Hugo was beyond reasoning.
Sean didn't understand Hugo. He
thought Hugo was the most selfish person ever with a messed-up way of thinking. Talking to him was a waste of time.
Hugo just smiled, picking up the knife and flipping it in his hand.
"You're right, I was never wrong." He kept smiling, as if unfazed by the situation.
Just when everyone braced for what he might do next, Hugo shocked them all by stabbing his chest.
Blood spilled out, and everyone was stunned. No one expected him to end his life that way.
