“I apologize for the inconvenience. I’m in a good mood today so I’ve booked the entire place. How about you two sign those papers quietly and leave peacefully, or else…” He glanced at the azure sea nearby and smirked, “There might be sharks in this sea, and you could become their food.”
Pearl gritted her teeth and cursed, “Hugo, you’re despicable!”
“Despicable? Did any of you come to help me when I was stripped n*ked on the street? And during all those times, I had to endure the humiliation alone. What right do you have to judge me?” Hugo seemed almost mad, his laughter chilling.
“You might regret doing this, Hugo.”

“Richard!”
