Hugo's brows knitted together as his deep gaze landed on Ruth.

"Are you saying Felix-the guy freeloading at Sasha's-has Wendy's phone number?"

Ruth shrank back in fear, while Sasha stepped in to smooth things over.

"Hugo, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. That guy just loves to show off. If you let me explain, I'm sure we can clear things up for you."

After learning about Felix's actions at Concord Bank and his presence here, Hugo let out a disdainful sneer.

"That's more like it. If someone like that had access to Wendy's contact, even pigs could fly!"

Ivan quickly chimed in, "You're right. It was just too much of a coincidence! We almost let that bastard fool us again."

Hugo patted him on the shoulder. "How dare that piece of garbage that even Sasha despises pretend to have Wendy's number? Don't you guys agree that he needs a lesson?"

Ivan caught his message without fail. He had long been thinking about teaching Felix a lesson for harboring thoughts about his woman. Now that he was trying to tarnish Wendy's name, too, he best believed there be consequences to his actions!

""Don't worry, Hugo. Leave it to me."

Sasha didn't intervene in this decision. Given Warren's sentiments, she ought to refrain from drastic actions. In fact, it was a massive relief that someone else was stepping in. There was no way she would stop them. Meanwhile, in Zenith Pavilion, Wendy felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. She couldn't explain why, but she found Felix somewhat mysterious yet incredibly charming.

"The Kinsley family's influence in Avesburgh must mean you know some secrets others don't, right?"

Once Felix started speaking, Wendy grew serious, too. If this mission turned out successful, it would bring them
