Chapter 545
“How… How did you get these?” Jenny swallowed nervously, feeling a mix of anxiety and
fear.
These were all photos of her with Hugo. Some of them even showed them checking into a
hotel together. If this got out, she could kiss her reputation goodbye!
Jenny couldn’t afford to take the risk and asked with a serious expression, “Where did you
get these?”
“These are nothing, Jenny. I even have a recording of both of you. Would you like to listen
to it?” Pearl casually asked while rummaging through the recording, but Jenry broke out in

“No.” Jenny glanced around at the crowded place and felt a surge of anger. Pearl must
have done this intentionally, choosing an open and exposed location to embarrass her!
“So, Miss Jenny, are you still going to sign the contract for the company transfer?” Pearl
chuckled, knowing that Jenny’s visit today was a big mistake.
“Let’s put this matter on hold for now. I need more time to think.” She was far from happy
about giving up such a lucrative opportunity, which infuriated her. But now, outnumbered
and unable to afford a confrontation, she had to swallow her pride.
Jenny stood up and was ready to leave. Just then, a mocking laughter with a hint of
provocation sounded beside her.
“Why should we let this contract go so easily? Let’s sit down and have a chat.” Hugo, who
had appeared out of nowhere, said with an insincere smile. He pulled out a chair next to
Jenny and casually took a seat.
“Hughie!” Jenny’s mood instantly lifted upon seeing Hugo. “How did you get here?”
Hugo grinned and ruffled her hair. “I just came over to check on things. What’s the
matter? Is everything not going smoothly?”
“They… They found some fabricated records of us checking into a hotel. I think they’re
threatening me not to sign the contract.”
“Oh?” Hugo’s face gradually darkened.
“Jenny, do you ever feel guilty when you say these things? How can you even claim these
photos are fake? Let’s have them authenticated to see if they’re real.” Pearl went into
mocking mode, leaving Jenny blushed and lost for words.

threatened Jenny.”
Pearl raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean, Hugo? Didn’t you threaten us first? Let’s be
fair about things.”
“Fair? You’ve been with me for a while now, Pearl. Do I seem like someone fair to you?”
Hugo’s eyes showed a hint of disdain.
“Indeed, you don’t. In that case, we have nothing more to
say. Let’s s
go, Richard.”
Pearl stood up to leave but was suddenly stopped by Hugo. “Do you think you can just
walk
away?”
Pearl chuckled. “Who do you think you are, Hugo? You can’t stop us from leaving.”
