Chapter 322: The Ruse

Tina gave him a cold glance but said nothing. Instead, Logan spoke up, "Tina, if you were so worried, you should have given Nathaniel a warning earlier. You didn't say a word. Is there something you're concerned about?" Hugo was left speechless. Sensing the tension, Jennie quickly stepped forward and said, "We are outsiders after all. How can we meddle in the Farrell family's affairs?"

"Tina has Jared and Mr. Farrell's support. I believe she won't be mistreated."

"Really?" Logan gave them a meaningful look. "I'm tired. I'll go rest now. You can stay a bit longer and finish your tea."

Hugo hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, thank you for your hospitality, Logan. We won't disturb you any longer."

Since they were being dismissed, he knew better than to overstay their welcome.

Jared put his arm around Tina's shoulder and said, "I'll take you home."

Tina looked up at him and smiled, "Alright."

Even though Jared hadn't spoken earlier, she could feel his anger. She knew he was holding back for Logan's sake and refrained from confronting Nathaniel directly. But in the end, he couldn't hold back any longer. That kick had completely incapacitated Nathaniel.

Walking side by side ahead, Hugo and Jennie trailed behind awkwardly, their expressions somewhat uneasy.

Throughout the meal, they had revealed many flaws.

Tina had been testing them intentionally, while others watched their performance with interest.

"What should we do..." Jennie whispered to Hugo, signaling with her eyes.

Hugo didn't respond but kept his gaze fixed on Tina a few meters away.

If he didn't act soon...

As they reached the Farrell family's courtyard, Jared was about to get the car to take Tina home when suddenly someone sprang out from the bushes and lunged at her.
