Hugo took another day off from work, aware of what kind of person Elizabeth was and fearing that today's visit would not go smoothly. He intended to use this day to thoroughly resolve the matter. Tina had no classes, so she went with him.

Jennie, Hugo's wife, naturally accompanied them as well.

After dropping Zackary off at school, they headed straight to Moon Gate Estate.

Pinewood was just about to call Hugo when they arrived.

He glanced at Hugo with a neutral tone, "Did you bring the item?" "I did," Hugo replied evenly, "When will the lawyer arrive?" "He's on the way, about fifteen minutes out," Pinewood said.

Hugo nodded, then fell silent.

The Reed family ceased speaking too, and the villa was very quiet.

Elizabeth sat in the principal seat, her aged and murky eyes glanced at Hugo before she closed them to rest. From beginning to end, she did not offer Hugo and his family a glass of water. Hugo didn't mind and sat quietly with his family.

The lawyer arrived sooner than expected, in just ten minutes.

Once the lawyer was there, Hugo stood up first, "Let's begin." Elizabeth opened her eyes and said deliberately, "Showthe item first!" Without hesitation, Hugo took out the formula he had rewritten and handed it to Elizabeth.

Upon examining the formula, her brow wrinkled immediately, "Just one formula? Are you treatinglike a beggar?" Hugo's expression remained unchanged, "Rebecca only leftthis one formula." "That won't do!" Elizabeth exclaimed sharply, "You think a single formula can sever the maternal bond of birth and upbringing? Are you dreaming?" Hugo looked up, met Elizabeth's eyes with a serious face, "Mom! This formula is worth at least a hundred million dollars. You gave birth to me, but you did not raisewell. In your eyes, only my brothers are your sons; I'm just a tool you can use." "You favor my brothers, and I have nothing to say about that. I'm not here to argue about who's right or wrong today. This is the last formula left by Rebecca. If you don't want it, I'll sell it to someone else. I'm not afraid of you pestering us anymore. If it comes to it, after selling the formula, we can just move and live somewhere else." "You ungrateful child!" Elizabeth scolded loudly, "You are my son, and you want to sell the formula to others? Do you even consider the Reed family, your own mother?" Hugo scoffed, "Today, I've cto sever our ties. From now on, we have no relation. What do the Reed family and I have to do with each other?" "You!" Elizabeth, clutching her chest, struggled to catch her breath.

Pinewood quickly supported Elizabeth and asked coldly, "Hugo, are you sure you've thought this through? To leave the Reed family for good, with no regrets?" "The best decision I've ever made is to leave the Reed family," Hugo said with utmost seriousness.

"Fine! How admirable!" Pinewood was also infuriated.

To be honest, they didn't want Hugo to completely sever ties with the Reed family.

Of course, it wasn't because they had feelings for Hugo, but because they knew Hugo had more than just this one formula; he must be hiding others.

There was another thing: Elizabeth had told them yesterday that she had persuaded Amber to win Jared's heart, which would inevitably involve Tina since she was Jared's fiancée.

But Hugo's stubbornness was truly infuriating.

"You think you can just leave the Reed family like that? No way!" Elizabeth stuffed the formula into her pocket and said coldly, "I've got the formula now, and I won't give it back to you unless you provide a new one. Otherwise, our relationship cannot be severed today." She knew how important this formula was.

Years ago, Rebecca had used just a few formulas to elevate the Reed family to the ranks of the Ensford elite. Now, the Reed family needed only one formula to shine again, but what she wanted was not just for the Reed family to prosper in Ensford, but in the capital.

She wanted to push down their relatives in the capital.

If possible, she even aspired to surpass the Farrell family.

Her ambition was always grand, and for that goal, she was willing to sacrifice everything, stopping at nothing.

What was one son to her? If necessary, she could sacrifice all three sons.

Hugo had anticipated her response and chuckled coldly, "Mom, I am your son, and I know what's in your mind. Did you really think I was an ignorant fool?" A bad feeling welled up inside Elizabeth, "What do you mean?" "This formula is missing two key ingredients. Without thoseingredients, the formula is worthless," Hugo said expressionlessly.

Originally, he hadn't thought of this, but Tina reminded him on the way over.

Happy reading! He felt this was the safest course of action, to temporarily change the formula. In truth, he had still harbored shope, hoping that Elizabeth would keep her word for once. But now, it seemed he should not have held any expectations of Elizabeth at all. She was someone who, for her purposes, had no bottom line.

"You scoundrel!" Elizabeth, enraged, grabbed a cup beside her and hurled it at Hugo.

Hugo shifted slightly, and the cup smashed on the floor. Looking up at his e Elizabeth, his face was very grim, "Since you're not sincere, there's no point in further discussion. We're leaving." With that, he called Jennie and Tina to leave. Seeing Hugo's serious departure, Elizabeth panicked and hastily called out to him, "Wait!" Hugo paused in his steps and looked at her, saying nothing.

Elizabeth was angry seeing his demeanor but knew that, at this point, more words were futile. She then instructed the lawyer, "Mr. Rylands, please draft an agreement now. I want to sever ties with this unfilial son." The lawyer, aware of the purpose of today's meeting, nodded and began drafting the agreement. Quickly, the lawyer prepared the agreement, in duplicate, handing one copy to Elizabeth and one to Hugo, "Please review it and if there are no issues, sign it. Then we'll have it notarized." Elizabeth reviewed it quickly, "I have no issues." Hugo read it more slowly, scrutinizing every word to ensure nothing was missed.

After reviewing the agreement, Hugo said, "I have an issue." "What is the issue?" the lawyer asked.

Hugo did not respond to the lawyer but instead looked at Amber, who stood by Elizabeth's side, silent the whole time, "Amber you were adopted by me, but you've lived with your grandmother these past few years. Now that I've severed ties with her, I need to ask you: will you cwith me, or will you continue to stay with your grandmother?" Read the latest hapter there!
