Chapter 989: Do You Suspect This Person is Claudia? Tina stepped into the elevator, glancing at the yellow-glowing jade pendant in her hand. She casually slipped it into her pocket. It held little value to her, but it might mean a great deal to Jennie and her family.

When Tina reached the ground floor, she bumped into Hugo, who had just returned. Spotting her, Hugo walked over quickly, waving enthusiastically. "Tina!"

Tina smiled warmly. "Hugo, you're back so early."

Hugo set his briefcase down. "Jennie called me at noon and told me you came by. Since there wasn't much going on at the office, I decided to leave early."

Tina knew Hugo cared deeply for her, but every time she felt it so clearly, her heart warmed a

little more.

"Hugo, how's the company doing?"

"I was just about to tell you," Hugo replied, his excitement apparent. "The company plans to release a new product before the end of the year. We'll market it alongside our classic line, which should help us break into the local market faster. What do you think?"

Once the topic of the company came up, Hugo seemed unstoppable.

He frequently discussed these matters with Jennie, but since Tina was the company's investor, her perspective was sharper and more strategic. For key decisions like this, he always sought her approval.

Tina smiled gently. "Go ahead with it. You're more than capable of making these decisions, Hugo."

Hugo let out a sigh of relief, only to suddenly remember something. "Right, Tina! You're here to treat Oliver, aren't you?"

"I heard from Jennie. That poor kid... he's had such a hard life. Since he's family, we should help however we can."

Tina pursed her lips slightly. "Hugo, how long has it been since Jennie last saw her sister?" Hugo was taken aback by the question. He thought for a moment before replying, "It's been years. She didn't approve of our marriage back then, so after we got married, they barely kept in touch. Later, I heard she moved away, and they never saw each other again."

After saying this, Hugo seemed startled. He lowered his voice and glanced around nervously. "Tina, is something wrong?"
