Chapter 601
Pearl naturally followed Hugo into the villa, but a sharp voice sounded unexpectedly.
“Hughie? Why did you bring Pearl here?”
Hugo smiled, masking his disappointment. “Well, wasn’t I supposed to bring her here as part of the kidnapping plan?”
Jenny’s tone improved slightly when she heard “kidnap,” but she remained dissatisfied because Pearl was unrestrained. “Shouldn’t you tie her up?”
“What’s the matter? Are you happy only if I’m all tied up?” Pearl sneered sarcastically. Although Hugo had brought her as a hostage, she sounded unusually confident.
Enraged, Jenny gnashed her teeth. “You’re a hostage now. Why are you so smug?”
“Why didn’t you ask Hugo why he was so kind to me then? Isn’t it possible that kiss-*ss hates you too?”

Pearl’s words infuriated Hugo. “Pearl, you’re quite the talker!” Though angered, he didn’t react as aggressively as he had in the past.
Jenny noticed the change, and her heart skipped a beat. “Hughie, her words are hurtful. Aren’t you mad?” She tried to make them fight, but Hugo was a different man now.
“It’s fine. After all, she’s under my control. Just leave her alone,” Hugo responded indifferently, his tone almost doting on Pearl.
“But…” A sense of emptiness filled Jenny as she considered Hugo’s words. It seemed that the person who had been willing to sacrifice everything for her was about to leave her soon.
“Stop overthinking. I brought her here as part of our plan,” Hugo reassured Jenny, approaching her as usual and tenderly ruffling her hair. However, his actions were superficial.

Pearl burst into laughter because she had seen through it.
This enraged Jenny. “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing. I just find you both silly and cute.” Pearl’s sarcasm was obvious.
“Alright, stop arguing with her. You’re soon going to be Mrs. Waldorf. Don’t take a prisoner’s words seriously.”
Hugo’s words filled Jenny with confidence and joy.
But shortly after, panic set in. Hugo had been reluctant to see Jenny marry Richard in the past, but now he seemed indifferent. Jenny wondered if Pearl was right and that Hugo no longer
loved her.
“What’s your plan, Hughie?”
Hugo sneered and glanced at Pearl. “I’m going to take her abroad.”
