Chapter 82: Amber, You Must Win Over Jared's Heart

The engagement party ended amidst the varied expressions of the guests.

The Farrell family members rose to leave almost as soon as the patriarch stood up, all but Jared's family of four, their faces etched with thoughts and schemes. The Reed family's relatives had also departed, leaving only those residing at Moon Gate Estate.

Once the Farrell family had left, Elizabeth immediately approached Hugo, blocking his way, "Hugo, that item, when will you give it to me?"

Hugo looked at Elizabeth, a sense of disappointment clouding his heart, yet deep down there was still a glimmer of hope, "Mom! Have you really made up your mind? For that thing, you would disown your own son?"

Elizabeth responded without a moment's hesitation, "It's you who doesn't want a mother. You've defied me time and again for the sake of a woman. Since I don't exist in your eyes, nor does the Reed family, then consider me as having no son. Give me the item, and from then on, we shall have nothing to do with each other. I won't need you to take care of me in my old age."

Even though Hugo had anticipated this outcome, it still pained him deeply.

His own mother would sever ties with him for the sake of profit.

Although they had already broken off relations before, it had never been a true split. But this time, Elizabeth was serious about cutting him off completely.

Hugo glanced at Jennie, Tina, and Zackary, took a deep breath, and said, "We're all tired today, let's go home and rest. Tomorrow I will return home and hand the item to you personally."

He paused, then said seriously to Elizabeth, "Since you've chosen not to want me, then have the lawyer come tomorrow, and we'll have the documents notarized. That's it."

Without waiting for Elizabeth to reply, Hugo left with Tina and the others.

Outside the hotel, the sunlight was blinding, yet exceptionally warm. Hugo's eyes were moist as he stood under the sun, silent.
