Chapter 325: The Ruse

Tina gave him a cold glance but said nothing. Logan, however, spoke up, "Tina, if you were so worried, you should have given Nathaniel a warning earlier. Why didn't you say anything? Were you concerned about something?" Hugo was left speechless. Sensing the tension, Jennie quickly intervened, "We're outsiders; it's not our place to meddle in the Farrell family's affairs."

"Tina has Jared and Mr. Farrell's support. She won't be mistreated," she added.

"Is that so?" Logan gave them a meaningful look. "I'm tired. I'm going to rest now. Feel free to stay a while and finish your tea."

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

Seeing that Logan had spoken, Hugo knew better than to overstay their welcome.

Jared put his arm around Tina's shoulders. "I'll walk you out," he said.

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

Although Jared hadn't spoken earlier, she sensed 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 completely. That kick had rendered Nathaniel incapacitated.

As they walked ahead side by side, Hugo and Jennie followed awkwardly behind, their expressions complex. Throughout the meal, they had revealed many of their intentions.

Tina had been testing them on purpose, and everyone else was watching their performance.

"What do we do now..." Jennie whispered to Hugo.

Hugo said nothing but kept his eyes fixed on Tina, who was walking two meters ahead. If he didn't act soon...

They reached the Farrell family's courtyard where Jared was about to get the car to drive Tina home when suddenly someone leaped out from the bushes and lunged at Tina.
