He had originally refrained from arguing since she had just been discharged after a week in the hospital, but her words were becoming harder to tolerate.

Hugo stared at her like she was insane.

“Kiara, that child has been gone for years. I’ve endured your act long enough. Now that I finally have another child, what’s wrong with buying a house for my future baby?”

“Kiara, I didn’t plan to tell you before because I knew you would hold on to it. Since you’ve found out, stay quiet and accept it. Causing trouble in front of me will only make me dislike you more and change nothing.”

His cold expression made Kiara feel as if he were a stranger.

Hugo had become someone she no longer knew and hated.

The child they once awaited with hope was now mentioned so casually.

Her tears streamed down, not for him, but for that dead child.

“Hugo, you are truly disgusting.”

“How did I once go blind and love you?”

His pride was wounded, and his expression darkened instantly. Raising his hand, picked up the ashtray beside him and threw it at her.

Kiara’s forehead split open, and the ashtray broke into fragments on the ground.

That ashtray had once been her gift to him. For years, he treated it like something precious.

When a cleaner once damaged a corner, he felt heartache for a long while.

Yet now, he destroyed it.

Hugo’s eyes were dark. “Kiara, know your identity. If I hadn’t pulled you out back then, would you still be alive?”

“I went to prison for you for a year. Now I just want to give my child something good. Why are you causing trouble here?”

“I don’t want to see you. Go home and think about yourself.”

His assistant entered and asked Kiara to leave.

She looked at him for a long moment and smiled coldly.

She was forced out of the company. Downstairs, the assistant even warned the front desk that she must not return upstairs without Hugo’s consent.

Hearing that, Kiara laughed with deeper sarcasm and called her father from the mafia family overseas.

“Dad, the money I asked you to put into Craig Group three months ago, withdraw it.”

Her father responded cheerfully, “Alright, I’ll handle it at once. I’ve told you before, Hugo’s skills are ordinary. After all these years, the company has barely grown. The young men I’ve chosen for you are top talents from every field, far better than him.”

Kiara said, “Okay, thank you, Dad.”

After ending the call, Kiara glanced back at the president’s office upstairs.
