Chapter 10
The moment I acted, Hugo’s attitude, which had softened due to my cold face, completely erupted.
He strode towards me, snatched my suitcase, and smashed it against the floor.
The clothes scattered everywhere.
As he walked over, his leather shoes flattened the meat pie on the floor. I gritted my teeth, staring at
his feet.
Sophia, my patience has limits. Don’t drag innocent people into our business!”
My hands trembled as I stood frozen in place.
Bella’s eyes reddened, tears welling up as she looked at me innocently.
“I’m sorry, Sophia. I just checked those flight tickets, I was planning to go pick him
expect…”
up,
I didn’t
As she spoke, her tears fell drop by drop, hitting the floor and mixing with the meat filling.
“I was just worried Mr. Roberts was being deceived, after all, the Roberts family is special. There are
too many cases of people using children to trap wealthy families into marriage, I…”
She looked at Hugo, biting her lip and shaking her head.
My gaze grew colder, and when I spoke, my voice held no warmth at all.
“Hugo, you also think I’m deceiving you?”
He didn’t speak, but his expression was answer enough.
My father’s medical records were real, from the local hospital.
I had accompanied him for the checkup just six months ago – there was no way to fake that.
So Bella had focused her attention on my father’s travel tickets.
He indeed hadn’t taken a plane.
How could he afford such expensive plane tickets?

To save money for my dowry, he had endured a thirty–hour train journey while battling illness.
All just to attend his daughter’s wedding that didn’t even exist.
But even for just one line of dialogue, Hugo chose to break his promise rather than act with me.
Thinking carefully, he had never reciprocated my feelings. Our ending was predetermined from the
moment we met.

I searched for evidence of his love in every detail of our interactions, deceiving myself.
Everything remained peaceful for five years.
it since Bella’s appearance, this superficial balance was finally broken.
Mr. Roberts began to show emotions like a normal person.
He learned to love.
He would ask me what to do when Bella had stomach aches.
He would prepare allergy medicine in the car in anticipation of her allergic reactions.
He would take Bella to all the Roberts family company events, introducing her to everyone as his
perfect work partner.
In comparison, I was like a rat in the gutter, emanating stench.
Even if I offered up my dignity with both hands, letting him and his beloved trample it at will, I still
couldn’t get a ticket to this battle.
Now, I no longer want what I can’t have.
The spot where Bella had been hit quickly swelled and reddened, tears rolling down one after
another.
Hugo immediately cursed in rage.
But his hands didn’t stop moving, skillfully taking out medicine from his bag and applying it to Bella’s face with his fingers.
After comforting Bella, he turned to me with a threatening tone.
Sophia, don’t be ungrateful. Bella is innocent. The first thing she said after waking up in the hospital

yesterday was to tell me to hurry to the wedding to find you.”
“Look at yourself now, you’re acting like a jealous shrew! How can you face her kindness?!”
“Sophia, I’m telling you for the last time, apologize to her!”
“If you make another scene like this, get out of here!”
I acted as if I couldn’t hear his words, just silently picking up my scattered belongings.
Time ticked by second by second, and Hugo’s patience ran out.
He strode over to me, bent down and grabbed my long hair, his features fierce and terrifying.
The pain from my scalp was excruciating, but I bit my teeth to hold back any sound, my bloodshot eyes fixed on Hugo.
His tone was vicious: “Can’t hear me? Or don’t know how to apologize? Sophia, I’ve really spoiled you too much!”
“You want your dad’s meat pie, right? Why don’t you taste it right now!”
I clenched my teeth hard, but my head was forcefully pushed down and rubbed against the floor.
My lips were pressed and distorted, tears mixing with flour stuck to my face.
But Hugo was still not satisfied. He erupted, pulling my head in front of him with one hand while slapping my face repeatedly with the other.
A metallic taste filled my throat, blood blurring my vision.
“Open your mouth! Weren’t you acting tough? Come on, open your mouth and let me see how goo my aim is!”
After speaking, he immediately picked up a relatively intact meat pie from the floor and forcefully
ground it into mince on my face.
“Smells good? Happy now? Now apologize to Bella!”
“Otherwise, I’ll make your father go back to wherever he came from right now!”
