Chapter 318: Full of Flaws

Hugo sensed something was off. When he looked up, he met Logan's probing gaze. He paused and asked, "Logan, why are you looking at me like that?" Logan glanced at him, then looked away nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing, just remembered something. Let's eat." Logan then turned his attention to Tina. Seeing her calm expression and noticing she had quietly set aside the spicy pork trotters, he understood something.

Marie, as the lady of the Farrell family and a long-time socialite, wasn't clueless either. She also sensed that there was something unusual about Tina and Hugo's relationship today. Hearing Hugo's words, she guessed what was going on but remained silent.

After the meal, Marie had someone bring out dessert. Just as she was about to give Tina a strawberry cake, Hugo said, "Mrs. Farrell, Tina prefers mango mousse cake. Give me the strawberry cake instead." Marie's fingers paused briefly before she handed the strawberry cake to Hugo without a word.

As Hugo was about to eat it, Sophia tilted her head and said, "Uncle Reed, it's one thing to forget Tina's favorite dish, but how could you forget her favorite cake too?" Hugo froze. "What?" Marie glared at Sophia. "Sophia, don't talk nonsense." Sophia pouted in dissatisfaction. "I'm not talking nonsense! Tina's favorite dish is sweet and sour ribs, and her favorite cake is strawberry cake. She's allergic to mangoes. Uncle Reed, how could you forget that and give her mango?" Hugo suddenly looked at Tina and met her slightly amused eyes. His heart sank. So she was testing him all along. He quickly composed himself and apologized with a regretful expression. "I'm sorry, Tina. I forgot. Ever since you left the capital, I've been feeling exhausted and my memory has been failing me. I even forget things from one moment to the next. It's my fault for forgetting your mango allergy."

Tina smiled slightly and took a bite of the strawberry cake from the table. "It's fine." Hugo wanted to say more but seeing Tina's disinterest in talking to him, he silently continued eating.

Jennie wanted to chime in but feared making things worse, so she kept quiet.

Logan's gaze shifted between Tina and Hugo before he stood up and said, "Hugo, let's play chess after dinner. It's been a while since we last played. Jared, why don't you take Tina for a walk?" "Sure," Jared replied as he stood up and left with Tina.

Jared led Tina through the Farrell family's back garden in silence until he finally spoke after some time. "When did you realize they were impostors?" Tina looked at him and smiled. "You figured it out too?" "Such poor acting skills would fool only an idiot," Jared replied coldly.

Good! They dared to target someone important to Tina; if they were tired of living, he wouldn't mind sending them off.

Tina smiled without saying anything.
