Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 134

"Hugo, what's the deal?"

"Mr. Blue, I could ask you the same thing. You had me busting my ass and throwing resources at kidnapping this girl, but you didn't tell me she was no average Joe's daughter. Why didn't you mention she's part of the Anderson family, the richest people in Pinehurst?"

"My guys got her in the car, and we were tailed within minutes. They set up checkpoints everywhere, forcing us to switch vehicles and routes. In the end, we had to ditch the girl just to get away." He'd put in a lot of man-hours and effort, only to abandon the mission for survival. Hugo was miffed and felt like a fool.

He'd been in this line of work for a while and rarely messed up.

This blunder was all because Mr. Blue had hidden some crucial info about the girl.

Mr. Blue looked shocked, "She's one of the Andersons?"

He rushed to explain, "Hugo, I swear I didn't know she was an Anderson. How could she be?"

"She's publicly announced her marriage to the Anderson heir, Stefan Coleman. You didn't know?"

"Look, Hugo, I genuinely didn't have a clue. If I'd known, I would've definitely told you. When did she become an Anderson?"

"It was announced a few days ago."

Mr. Blue instantly replied, "There you have it! It was just announced a few days ago. My guys spent a lot of time confirming that she was the one we were after. I had her background checked thoroughly, and she wasn't an Anderson then."

"I hired you guys for a lot of dough. Of course, I wanted you to succeed. It would've saved us both a ton of trouble. I had no reason to withhold her other identity and set you up for failure. That would just burn a hole in my pocket."
