“I’ve supported you all these years. Other than staying home and waiting on me, what else are you capable of?”
“This is Utah. If I so much as move, the ground trembles. What right do you have to challenge me?”
Each sentence Hugo spoke felt like a small knife stabbing into her chest.
In his eyes, she had long been someone who could not exist without his support.
Because he believed she was an orphan, he hurt her without holding back.
Gwynne Curtis, her closest friend, could not tolerate it and stepped forward to defend Kiara.
“Hugo, how can you be this heartless? When you came out of prison with nothing, Kiara spent all her savings to buy you clothes.”
“You said you wanted to build a business. Kiara drank with clients until her stomach bled just to secure investment for you.”
“When you were burning with fever in the hospital, Kiara even sold her blood to cover your treatment.”
“You asked her to stay behind the scenes, and she even gave up her company shares. She sacrificed everything for you. Have you no conscience?”
The entire place fell silent.
It was her deep love for Hugo that made everyone certain she would never truly leave.
