Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Inherited a billion–dollar fortune so quickly?

In the hallway outside, Hugo glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before he spoke up. “Speak!”

“Also, there’s news about the other person you asked me to investigate–Ray King, their arch–enemy. They’ve been at odds

for years, often clashing over shipments. Coincidentally, Ray King’s people have also arrived in Port City. As for why

they’re here, it’s unclear, but Ray himself isn’t present.”

Hearing this, Hugo’s eyes narrowed slightly, a dark current swirling in his deep gaze.

Could it really be just a coincidence?

He never believed in such coincidences.

“What should we do next, boss?” Henry asked. “Or should I take some guys tomorrow and intercept their shipment?”

“No!” Hugo replied firmly.

“Then…?”

“Leak this information to Ray King’s people,” Hugo instructed.

Henry winced at the thought and asked, puzzled, “Why, boss? I heard this shipment is worth a fortune, and it’s on our turf.

If we intercept it, we could sell it and make a huge profit. It’d be a good way to teach them a lesson for last time. Why let

someone else have it?”

The deep, sharp voice rose slightly, “Since we’re enemies with Red Mark, we might end up on the same side. It could be useful in the future, so let’s consider it a favor to them.”

“But those guys who live by the gun might not appreciate the gesture!” Henry protested.

“Even if they don’t, what do we lose?” Hugo asked.

“But… that’s a lot of money!” Henry pointed out, thinking of the substantial sum involved.

“Do I look like I’m short on cash?” Hugo countered.

Henry was speechless.

He had overstepped!

Of course.

Hugo was already as wealthy as a nation. Money was the least of his concerns. He seemed to be a natural–born

businessman. What others saw as a challenging way to make money, he handled effortlessly.

You had to admire that.

Thinking about it, Henry couldn’t help but say, “Boss, with that attitude, you’re bound to make people jealous. I think those

folks shouldn’t be trying to steal goods; they should be trying to steal you!”

Hugo squinted, “Oh? Are you thinking about it now?”

Hearing this, Henry wished he could slap himself. He really needed to watch his mouth.

“Boss, I was just joking… You could tell, right?” Henry’s sycophantic voice came through the phone.

*Henry, you really need to work on your sense of humor. Otherwise, you might find yourself guarding the gates at the

Hodges Family Group one day!”

Henry paused, “Uh… Boss, you’re getting quite the sense of humor yourself!”

Hugo said nothing.

Sensing the tension, Henry quickly added, “By the way, Boss, you’re doing all this for the former Mrs. Boss, right?”

“It’s future Mrs. Boss!” Hugo corrected in a low voice.

Uh–oh.

Henry felt like kicking himself. How did he mess that up? Was his IQ dropping lately?

After a moment’s thought, Henry decided it was best to say less and make fewer mistakes. “Boss, I, uh, got some intel on Ray King’s people. I’ll get to work on it. Call me anytime if you need anything!” Without waiting for Hugo to respond, he

Holding his phone, Henry’s heart was still racing.

He was feeling pretty bold now, even daring to hang up on his boss!

He was really something now!

Thinking about it, if things went south… well, he could always work under the boss’s wife!

Just the thought of having Scarlett Adler as his backup made him feel a lot less afraid.

Meanwhile, Hugo put his phone away with a slight smile on his lips.

As he turned to head back, he noticed a figure not far behind him.

Hugo squinted, “First?”

First looked at him and smiled slightly. That face, so similar to his own, made Hugo feel a moment of disorientation.

Quickly, he shook off the distraction and asked, “When did you get here?”

“Just now!” First replied. “Tara Green is already at the door. I came here to wait for her.”

Hugo nodded, not thinking much of it, and took a few steps toward him. “First.”

First looked at him.

Hugo paused for a moment, then asked, “Have you forgiven me?” At this moment, he didn’t carry the air of a father

speaking down to a son, but rather, he spoke as an equal, like a friend.

First was taken aback. “Why do you ask?”

“What do you think?” Hugo asked in return.

Between smart people, First knew exactly what Hugo meant.

Instead of playing dumb, he preferred to face things head–on–that was his style.

With a smirk, he replied openly, “Are you talking about the time I started calling you ‘Dad“?”

Hugo nodded.

First thought for a moment and didn’t deny it, “Yes, I’m not mad at you anymore.”

“Why?” Hugo asked. He had been considering how to get this kid on his side, but First’s change of heart surprised him.

“Because…” First was about to say something when Tara arrived, led by Uncle Evans.

“First!”

Upon hearing her voice, First paused, glanced at Hugo, and chose to ignore his question.

He turned his attention to Tara, smiling, “You got here quickly!”

“Yeah.” Tara nodded, then looked around, smiling, “The environment here is nice!”

“If you like it, why not stay for a while?” First suggested.

“Stay?” Tara was surprised, instinctively glancing at Hugo.

Hugo stood with his hands behind his back, looking proud. “Don’t look at me. I can’t make the decision. The one who can

is right in front of you.”

Tara squinted her eyes, leaning in closer to First with a mysterious air, lowering her voice, “What, inherited a billion–dollar

fortune already?”

“Do I look like someone who lives off others?” First replied, also whispering, “I’m an idealist.”

Tara listened with a look of disdain. “Alright, stop pretending. If you don’t take advantage, someone else will.”

“These belong to my sister,” First said.

Tara admired the generosity of First and Second. A billion–dollar fortune–sure, they made good money in their line of

work, but nothing as ready–made and safe as this!

Yet, the two of them acted like they couldn’t care less.

Clearly, their mindset was on a different level!

Tara increasingly felt that First was destined for great things!

Thinking of this, Tara spoke up, “Since Fourth is the big shot, I better go cozy up to her!” With that, she headed inside.

First saw this and smiled as he followed them inside.

Meanwhile, Hugo stood in the hallway, watching their figures disappear. His gaze was filled with an indescribable depth…
