The Queen They Buried

Chapter 459

At Turner Group, Bowen had just finished going through a document when he noticed Hugo’s name flashing on his phone, a bit surprised by the unexpected call

“Bowen, did I do something wrong?” Hugo sounded lost and frustrated after his falling out with Birgitte.

He knew he still cared about Grace, but in his heart, she was just like a little sister to him. He never thought he’d made Birgitte suffer because of her.

Hugo couldn’t figure it out. He’d gotten to the bottom of things and tried to make things right for Birgitte. He thought it was the right thing to do Since he was helpless, he thought Bowen was the only person he could think of to turn to.

Bowen listened quietly, then let out a soft laugh. “You did the right thing, but did it help?”

‘Did it help?‘ Hugo was stunned. He couldn’t figure out how those two things even belonged in the same sentence.

“Let me put it another way, Bowen said. “Does it matter if Grace lives or dies? The person you love and want to be with is Birgitte, not Grace.”

It hit Hugo like a ton of bricks. All at once, Hugo realized the root of the conflict between him and Birgitte.

It wasn’t about so–called fairness. What Birgitte wanted was for him to take a firm stand by her side when it mattered, and he had never shown that kind of resolve.

“Bowen, I get it now.” Hugo nodded.
