"I've been on a diet and have been on constant

never seen him cheat, and he had always been upright. Their parents couldn't even make him eat if he was fasting.

yummy."

Slater frowned deeply, unable to accept this.

Just like Nina, he was so sure Penny was the one who ate his precious sweets. He glared at Penny, infuriated that she was making Hugo lie for her!

Butler Jen was also surprised upon hearing Hugo's confession.

detached himself from her.

Thinking about it, there was this sense of heaviness in

her heart.

Just when I thought we were about to get along...' she thought, sighing.
