But Hugo's words failed to provoke any reaction from Richard. If Hugo truly orchestrated their separation, then he had to admit Hugo was not as dumb as he had imagined.

"So, Rick, it seems you and Pearl aren't meant to be. Why don't you just step aside and let me take care of her? You don't have to worry," Hugo suggested, a smirk playing on his lips. He knew exactly which buttons to push to rile Richard up.

"Don't hold your breath. Pearl would never choose you even if it wasn't me," Richard retorted, confident in Pearl's feelings for him.

Hugo's smug expression faltered as he gnashed his teeth. "Don't act so cocky. You're not right for her. But I'll make the most of this situation once you two break up."

"You've got quite the imagination," Richard remarked dryly before turning on his heel and leaving.
