Chapter 896 An Acquaintance from Four Years Ago My heart tightened abruptly. I thought to myself that fate really had a twisted sense of humor. Hugo and I had managed to cross paths so unexpectedly in the vast city of Solaris, of all places.

Four or five years had passed, but he was still the same. He wore a sinister expression that masked itself with a smiling facade, like a tiger with a deceptive grin.

But suddenly, he dropped the mask, revealing his true colors.

I maintained my composure and looked at him coolly.

Ardie sensed that something was amiss and glanced at me. "What's wrong?" "Nothing," I replied indifferently.

Hugo suddenly smirked maliciously, "What do you mean, 'nothing'? Looks like you're still very composed after repeatedly meddling in my affairs. 'Nothing'? You're very confident, Ms. Chloe. What gave you the audacity to do all this?" I looked at him with a cold smile on my face. "You're involved in all sorts of shady dealings. Of course I'm confident in what I do." I had never been one to mince words, especially not with garbage like him.

"Haha..." He glanced at Ardie, perhaps recognizing his imposing presence. His eyes shifted. "We'll settle the accounts from many years ago sooner or later." "You're right, I remember it well. It's tto settle the score, and I don't mind bringing Fred along. Pick the tand place. I'll be waiting. But of course, I can also call him right now and settle this on the spot." I stared him down assertively.

His sinister eyes locked onto mine, and a woman emerged from behind him. When she saw the tense atmosphere, she looked atskeptically, leaning on him as she asked, "Who is this, Hugo?" Hugo remained silent. He couldn't seem to find the words to explain.

"Just you wait," he said cunningly.

"I'll be waiting." I scoffed.

With that, I strode out. Ardie fixed his icy gaze on Hugo and followedas we left.

But the moment I stepped out of the restaurant, felt my heart racing. If it weren't for my divorce with Matthew and my desire to be a bigger success, I would never have w.ne recklessly contacted Hugo im Solaris again. Content belong he The events of that year were still vivid in my memory, and every tI thought about it, a shiver ran down my spine.

Hugo deserved to be sent to prison.

Ardie noticed that I was behaving strangely, so he reached out to supportand asked, "Chlo, what's wrong?" "It's nothing. I met him when I cto Solaris for business before. Unpleasant things happened between us. It's okay. Let's go," I briefly explained. Ardie embracedand settledin the car. When I got into the car, I couldn't shake off a strange feeling, as if someone was watching us.

I quickly scanned my surroundings, but there was no sign of anything unusual. Yet, that peculiar sensation remained clear.

After Ardie got into the car, he asked, "Do you want to go back to the office, or should I take you hto rest? Or maybe accompany you for a stroll?" I quickly replied, "Just takeback to the office. I haven't finished this morning's business, so I won't leave yet. I'll clean up the matters at hand. I'll so that we don't have to wonder when he might show up again." "Alright. I'll cpick you up when you finish work."

"You don't have to cgetif you're busy. Just givethe m address, and Vill-manage. I can take a cab You don't have to treatlike a child."

"You just got here, and you're not familiar with the area yet. I'll feel at ease when you're more acquainted. Besides, Atlas insisted on this. He's worried about you, and you know it." I smiled shyly, playfully saying, "Okay. I'll count on you then, dear brother." Back at the office, I called Atlas and told him that I wouldn't be going back today. He immediately sounded disappointed, but he understood that if Archie had broughtto meet someone, it must have been for a good reason.

He said regretfully, "Alright then. Tellyour flight details and callanytime."

After hanging up, I immersed myself in work. After reviewing all the m necessary materials, my work in Solaris reached a temporary conclusion. After scontemplation, I glanced at the tand decided to give Fred a call.
