Chapter 38: More Dirty Secrets Revealed

Amber's heart skipped a beat under the intensity of that gaze. Tina seemed terrifyingly different. Instinctively, she took a step back, and the others were similarly daunted by Tina's formidable presence. Everyone wondered if this was really the same girl raised in a rural village. Her aura alone was something many socialites couldn't match.

The room fell silent for a moment until Hugo, after a brief pause, asked Tina, "Is there really no other way?" Tina's tone was much gentler when she replied to Hugo, "There is, wait for the drug to wear off!" Hugo simply nodded, not saying much more, and then said, "Since you can't solve it, let's go back. If there's nothing else in the future, we won't come here."

His statement was a public slap in the face to Elizabeth. She was furious, exclaiming, "Hugo! What do you mean? Are you cutting ties with me?" Hugo replied sternly, "Mother! I still call you mother, out of respect for the fact that you gave birth to me and raised me. You are my mother, and I won't cut ties with you. In the future, I will support you to the best of my ability. But you needn't worry about my household anymore."

"If you don't like Tina, I won't bring her here to be humiliated. She is my daughter; if you don't cherish her, I will!" Hugo said and, taking Tina by the hand, he left.

Elizabeth's chest heaved with anger as she cursed, "You ingrate! I am the head of this family! I decide everything in this house. Since she is a granddaughter of the Reed family, she should follow my arrangements!"

Tina stopped, turned around to look at her, and said, "My affairs are not for anyone to decide." Elizabeth wanted to retort but restrained herself from saying anything too harsh in front of everyone and found herself at a loss for words. Tina ignored her and turned to Jared, "Mr. Farrell! There's only one condition for our engagement: the dowry goes to my father. The Reed family never raised me; they have no right to it." Jared smiled and said, "Agreed." Elizabeth, Amber, and everyone else were stunned. Elizabeth was the first to recover, her voice rising, "Engagement? You agreed to an engagement?" Tina's lips curled into a smile, "Yes, I agreed-a few days ago, actually. The engagement is in ten days. Surprise or not? Unexpected?"

Elizabeth felt as if she had been struck by lightning. It dawned on her that when Jared had mentioned postponing the engagement, he had actually rescheduled it to ten days later! She had foolishly thought Jared was interested in Amber.

If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have schemed so much. Now she had lost face completely! That wretched girl Tina! It must have been on purpose!
