Chapter 83: Watching Over My Father-in-law

On the other side, after leaving the hotel, the Farrell family members quickened their pace to follow Logan. Jared, Hayden, and Nathan were walking behind. It wasn't until they saw a few cars driving away that Jared stopped and said to Nathan, "Keep an eye on Hugo."

Nathan was taken aback, not quite understanding why. Hayden was also confused, but he didn't hesitate to ask, "Really, you? You just got engaged to the girl, and now you're watching her father? Are you burning your bridges after crossing the river?"

Jared glanced at him with an expressionless face and said, "He might have the potion."

Both Hayden and Nathan widened their eyes in disbelief. After a while, Hayden finally responded, "Potion? Hugo? You're not joking, are you?" Although Hugo was the third son of the Reed family, he was as ordinary as they come. How could something as important as the potion be in his possession?

Jared's lips were pursed, his stern face betraying no emotion. "I found out that the potion is related to Tina's mother. Hugo proposed to give something to Elizabeth, and it's very likely the potion."

"What are we waiting for then? Go find him! How can we let him give it to Elizabeth? Does he think he has too many days left?" Hayden was somewhat anxious. The potion was an extremely important object and a ticking time bomb. The order from above was clear: find the potion at all costs, even if it meant death.

The GTO had dispatched assassins who had already infiltrated Ensford. Whoever possessed the potion was as good as dead. Besides, several other forces were also searching for the potion; it was a hot potato.

Since Hugo had it and wasn't keeping it a secret, even offering to give it to Elizabeth publicly, wasn't that akin to courting death?

"We can't go!" Jared said solemnly. "It's not certain whether what he's giving to Elizabeth is the potion, nor whether he's as benign as he appears on the surface. We can't startle the snake in the grass."

Jared looked up and instructed Nathan, "You keep an eye on Hugo. The moment he hands the potion to Elizabeth, act immediately and seize it!"

"It's like this," Hugo licked his lips, choosing his words carefully, "Your mother was a very good perfumer.

When she saw that he was silent, Hugo thought she was truly angry and hurriedly said, "Tina, I know you and your mother were very close, and I don't want to give away the perfume formula, but... your grandmother is just too much.
