Seeing her daughter in such emotional pain, Audrey felt both heartbroken and helpless.

As someone who had always been successful in love, she couldn’t quite understand the feeling of being unable to live
without a man. But watching her daughter suffer like this was something she couldn’t bear.
“Alright, alright. If you really want to be with Hugo, I’ll help you. Just listen to me, and I promise he’ll come back to you,”
Audrey reassured her, worried that Tiana might have some drastic thoughts.
Tiana finally stopped crying, looking at Audrey with disbelief. “Really?”
“When have I ever lied to you? Tiana, remember, a woman can show vulnerability, but she must never truly be weak,”
Audrey advised.
“So, what should I do?”
Audrey leaned in and whispered something in her ear. Tiana stopped crying, “Mom? Will that really work?”
“Your dad was just like that, always chasing after other women. But look how he ended up devoted to me. What do you
think?” Audrey replied.
Tiana thought about her father, who used to be quite the ladies‘ man, but somehow, he had settled down and become
devoted to Audrey.
Completely obedient, almost to the core.
Tiana nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I’ll do as you say!”
“That’s my girl. Right now, the most important thing is to take care of yourself so you have the energy to keep going.”
Audrey said.
Tiana, still sniffling, nodded, “I understand.”
Seeing her daughter gradually calm down, Audrey finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, something came to her mind, and she looked at Tiana, “Have you ever met Mr. Hurst?”

Tiana nodded, “Yes, I have. Why?”
“Who are the two kids with him?” Audrey asked.
“Kids? What kids?” Tiana asked, puzzled.
“You don’t know?” Audrey inquired.

Tiana looked confused, “Mr. Hurst doesn’t have any kids with him. I’ve seen him many times and never heard of any kids!”
Audrey narrowed her eyes, pondering for a moment before saying, “Tiana, you just focus on resting. Leave everything else
to me.”
“Yeah,” Tiana said, not thinking too much about it. Right now, she just wanted to get better quickly so Hugo could return
to her side.
After leaving Tiana’s place, Hugo felt a sense of relief.
To him, Tiana was someone he was grateful for, a friend. When he first took over the company, he was young and proud, and the shareholders made things difficult for him. Tiana was the one who stood by him during those tough times, and for years, she helped manage everything around him.
Hugo didn’t know what love was, so he once had a fleeting thought about it, but it was quickly dismissed.
He was clear about one thing: he didn’t know what love was, but he knew he didn’t love Tiana.
They were only suited to be friends, and could only be friends. It was the fear of losing her as a friend that brought them
to where they were today.
He never expected things to develop the way they had.
Just then, his phone rang.
He pulled it out and saw it was Henry calling. He answered and held the phone to his ear.

“Boss, I found some surveillance footage.”
“What footage?”

“A video of the former boss lady’s car being tampered with and her being followed… I think someone’s definitely targeting
her.”
Hearing this, Hugo’s brow furrowed instantly. “I’m on my way.”
He hung up the phone, not even bothering to visit Scarlett’s hospital room, and headed straight back to the office.
In the office.
Henry walked in with a laptop, turning the screen towards Hugo. “Boss, take a look.”
“Following your instructions, I went through the videos from that day. The former boss lady was at our company for a
meeting that ran late. Her car left directly from our underground garage, so I thought I’d check it out. And guess what? I
found something!”
The video showed a tall man crouching under the car, tampering with it.
Hugo watched, his dark eyes slowly brewing into a storm.
Henry clicked on the next video. “This one was found in the underground garage of Rising Sun Tech. I wanted to
determine if it was a premeditated attack or just bad luck for the former boss lady, so I checked all the footage from that
day. And here, I found this figure.”
In the underground surveillance room of Rising Sun Tech, someone was about to sabotage Scarlett’s car when they
appeared, hiding in a corner.
“Clothes, height, shoes–exact match. Either the former boss lady was randomly targeted, or it’s a planned attack, Henry
said
Hugo watched the footage, not realizing his fists had clenched tightly.
“What about the connections I asked you to check ?

“I looked into it. Since the former boss lady returned from abroad, she barely interacts with anyone outside of work. If
we’re talking enemies, besides…”
“Spit it out.”
Henry gave an awkward smile, “Besides you, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else.”
Hugo paused, “…”
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Hugo shot Henry a look that made him shrink back. “But, that’s the truth. Apart
from you giving her a hard time, there’s no one else…”
Before he could finish, Henry paused, as if recalling something. “Wait, there might be one more person.”
Hugo glared at him, “Say another word, and you’ll regret it!”
“No, no, it’s true. There was that guy, what was his name, almost assaulted her at the hotel… Oh, Kane Jennings, yes, Kane
Jennings!” Henry exclaimed.
Fallon slapped his forehead as he remembered.
Hugo squinted, almost forgetting about that person until now.
“Do you think it could be him?” Fallon asked. “But it shouldn’t be, right? He’s already been caught. Logically, it wouldn’t
make sense. And even if someone were looking, they wouldn’t go after the former boss’s wife; they’d go after… Hey, boss,
where are you going?”
While Fallon was still rambling on with his analysis, Hugo stood up, grabbed his car keys, and headed out.
Fallon quickly asked, “Boss, where are you going? There’s a meeting you’ve postponed for days, and the shareholders are
getting restless.”
“To the detention center,” Hugo replied, addressing only the first part of Fallon’s question.
“You’re really going?”
“Whether it’s him or not, I’ll find out soon enough.” With Scarlett’s safety on the line, Hugo didn’t want to leave any stone

Fallon hesitated for a moment. “Well, I’ll go with you then. Wait for me.” He set down his laptop and hurried after Hugo.
He had no desire to deal with those annoying old shareholders any longer. They were such a pain!
