Chapter 424
Pearl had arranged for Hugo to meet in the office at Waldorf Enterprises. After the recent events involving
Raymond, Richard was no longer comfortable with her meeting people in unfamiliar places, so they opted for the
safest location-Waldorf Enterprises.
Hugo arrived shortly, entering the room with a skeptical expression.
“What’s going on, Richard? What do you and Pearl have planned?” Hugo scoffed and sat down in a chair, his eyes

Pearl.
“Hugo, I have something to tell you about your biological parents,” Pearl stated plainly.
Hugo’s expression darkened immediately. “I’d rather not hear anything from you if it involves them.”
“Do you really think Dustan is the one who killed your entire family? Hugo, if you use your head even just one bit,
you wouldn’t hate the man who raised you for decades!” Pearl’s tone held no sympathy; she had little patience for
him.
Hugo initially chuckled, then his laughter grew manic. “What do you know, Pearl? Your parents aren’t the ones who
are dead. You haven’t experienced unequal love. You sit in judgment from your high horse. Who do you think you
are?”
Hearing Hugo’s crazed laughter, Pearl cast a glance toward the restroom.
Suddenly, a stranger called out, “Hugo.”
Hugo turned to see the unfamiliar yet oddly familiar face of a man approaching-Kingsley Harrison. He was struck by
the uncanny resemblance between the man and himself. It was like looking into a mirror from twenty years in the
future.
His mouth hung open in shock as he stammered, “You’re… My dad?”

Hugo’s head spun, and he glanced at Pearl, suspicion in his eyes. “This is nonsense. Pearl probably found someone
who looks like me. You’re not my dad. My dad died over twenty years ago!” The idea of someone who had
supposedly died over two decades ago suddenly reappearing alive was too much for him to accept.
Pearl, undeterred by Hugo’s disbelief, stated firmly, “Hugo, I don’t care if you believe me or not. This man is your
father. I have the DNA test result right here. Take a look for yourself.”
Hugo took a deep breath and scrutinized the man before him, his eyes filled with a mix of warmth and coldness.
“Why are you back now?”
