Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 896 An Acquaintance from Four Years Ago

My heart tightened abruptly. I thought to myself that fate really had a twisted sense of humor. Hugo and I had managed to cross paths so unexpectedly in the vast city of Solaris, of all places.

Four or five years had passed, but he was still the same. He wore a sinister expression that masked itself with a smiling facade, like a tiger with a deceptive grin.

But suddenly, he dropped the mask, revealing his true colors.

I maintained my composure and looked at him coolly.

Ardie sensed that something was amiss and glanced at me. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," I replied indifferently.

Hugo suddenly smirked maliciously, "What do you mean, 'nothing'? Looks like you're still very composed after repeatedly meddling in my affairs. 'Nothing'? You're very confident, Ms. Chloe. What gave you the audacity to do all this?"

I looked at him with a cold smile on my face. "You're involved in all sorts of shady dealings. Of course I'm confident in what I do."

I had never been one to mince words, especially not with garbage like him.
