Chapter 84: Severing Ties

The next day.

Hugo took another day off from work, aware of what kind of person Elizabeth was and fearing that today's visit would not go smoothly. He intended to use this day to thoroughly resolve the matter. Tina had no classes, so she went with him.

Jennie, Hugo's wife, naturally accompanied them as well.

After dropping Zackary off at school, they headed straight to Moon Gate Estate.

Pinewood was just about to call Hugo when they arrived.

He glanced at Hugo with a neutral tone, "Did you bring the item?"

"I did," Hugo replied evenly, "When will the lawyer arrive?"

"He's on the way, about fifteen minutes out," Pinewood said.

Hugo nodded, then fell silent.

The Reed family ceased speaking too, and the villa was very quiet.

Elizabeth sat in the principal seat, her aged and murky eyes glanced at Hugo before she closed them to rest. From beginning to end, she did not offer Hugo and his family a glass of water. Hugo didn't mind and sat quietly with his family.

The lawyer arrived sooner than expected, in just ten minutes.

Once the lawyer was there, Hugo stood up first, "Let's begin."

Elizabeth opened her eyes and said deliberately, "Show me the item first!"

Without hesitation, Hugo took out the formula he had rewritten and handed it to Elizabeth.

Upon examining the formula, her brow wrinkled immediately, "Just one formula? Are you treating me like a beggar?"
