Chapter 308: Truth and Lies, a Cloud of Confusion

After dinner, Tina took Hugo and Jennie to the guest room. Annabelle had already arranged everything; the room was spacious and comfortable, with all new furnishings.

Hugo looked around, feeling relieved. "Seeing Tina living well now, my heart is finally at ease. I used to worry she would suffer in the Reed family."

Jennie smiled. "Tina is so outstanding; who would give her a hard time? You shouldn't worry too much about her."

Hugo sighed. "You don't understand. What father doesn't worry about his daughter? Even though Tina has now been acknowledged by the Reed family, she will always be my biological daughter in my eyes."

Tina glanced at him subtly, her smile deepening. After a moment, she collected herself and asked calmly, "Mr. Reed, did you take leave from your job in Ensford to come to the capital?"

Hugo hesitated for a moment before frowning. "I resigned!"

"Resigned?" Tina raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Hugo nodded. "At first, I thought the job was decent-high salary and respectable-but you wouldn't believe how the chairman of Mendara mistreats his employees. Even when my projects were flawless, he would find faults and berate me in front of everyone. I quit out of frustration."

Tina found it amusing. "You mean-the chairman of Mendara scolded you publicly?"

"Yes!" Hugo's face darkened. "So besides mending relations with the Reed family, I also plan to seek new opportunities here in the capital."

"What do you plan to do?" Tina asked.

Hugo hesitated before looking at Tina. "Tina, I've had this idea for a long time but needed your approval."
