Pushing the door open, she found Hugo already waiting.

He smirked. "You calone as promised. I like that." "Cut the crap. Tellwhat the secret is." Hugo raised an eyebrow. "I'll tell you, but not now." "Don't waste time. Just spit it out." Pearl wasn't in the mood for small talk. Talking to Hugo felt like a chore.

"Alright, take a seat. Let's eat and talk." Though Pearl wasn't thrilled about dining with him, she needed information. So, reluctantly, she sat.

The food arrived, mostly Pearl's favorites.

"After all our ttogether abroad, I know what you like. Aren't these your favorites?" Hugo said, a hint of smugness in his tone.

Despite her dislike for him, Pearl admitted he was considerate. She sampled the food, finding it oddly familiar.

"Don't tellyou cooked all this." Though skeptical, she couldn't shake her doubts.

Hugo didn't answer directly, instead offering her a potato. "These baked potatoes turned out well. Want some?" "Hugo, I'm not here to reminisce and play games with you. Tell me." Hugo's expression changed at her words. "Are you in a rush to leave me?" Pearl felt anger rising. "I've never been with you, so why would I leave you?" "What's the deal with Richard's velsocial media post? Are you the bride?" The idea of Pearl with Richard, possibly married, was like a stab in Hugo's heart. S ne "So what iftam? What does it have to do with you? It's none of your business." Pearl stood up, ready to leave. "I doubt I'll get any useful info here. I'm leaving." But as she moved to go, Hugo dropped a bombshell. "Have you ever doubted you're Beah's daughter?" Pearl froze, disbelief in her eyes. She turned back and said, "What nonsense is this? How could I not be her daughter?" Was Hugo losing his mind, making up such lies? "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, check for yourself. Have you never doubted this?" Pearl was stunned. She had indeed never questioned this matter, nor had she ever contemplated delving into it.

"Perhaps you'll find set unexpected answers. If you can't find anything, you can always cto me. I'm willing to give you any answers you seek." Pearl remained calm, but inside, she was reeling.
