Chapter 132: Trouble for Hugo

Amber surveyed her surroundings momentarily. Seizing a moment when the guards at the door were lax, she slipped out, planning to borrow a nearby phone to call the police. By reporting Sean, she, as a student, would publicly sever all ties with him. Only with his incarceration could she gain her freedom. Fleeing in haste, she didn't even wear her shoes, running barefoot on the concrete, desperately racing towards the bus station where a man in a black suit stood. "Sir, may I use your phone? I need to call the police!" she pleaded, ignoring her sore feet as she hurried over.

"Oh?" The man turned around, revealing a face that was handsome yet chillingly indifferent. "Call the police?"

"Yes, I've spotted a fugitive. I need to report him!" Amber nodded vigorously.

The man scoffed and suddenly, his gloved hand clamped over Amber's mouth, dragging her back to the basement.

It was over! Amber was shocked, realizing this man was in cahoots with Sean.

"Useless!" the man threw Amber in front of Sean. "You can't even keep an eye on your own woman, letting her escape to call the cops!"

"Sir, sir!" Sean, initially disheveled on the bed, was terrified at the sight of the man and scrambled off, kneeling on the floor.

Yet, seeing Amber, he couldn't resist slapping her hard. "You traitorous wench! You dare betray me!"

Amber shivered, curling up, too frightened to speak.

The exposure of Lily Fawkes as Tina's student, coupled with Tina's minimalist approach to perfumery - releasing only four scents in five years - had deterred major brands looking for profit. Consequently, many turned their attention to Lily Fawkes.
