Chapter 97 A True Man Should Be Like This_1
Hugo Combs fell silent.
Throughout the entire class reunion, he seemed quite out of sorts, and even the flattery of others failed to put a smile on his face.
The spotlight had been stolen by Carson Flores!
As soon as Samantha Tate played the video, the brightest stars of the reunion naturally became Carson Flores and Samantha Tate, a pair composed of a dominant male and the class flower—rich, beautiful, and popular, they were naturally the envy and the focus of adulation.
Hugo Combs knew clearly that no matter how much he boasted, he couldn’t outshine Carson Flores. In fact, he might even end up looking like a clown.
Fletcher Reid noticed the silent Hugo Combs, walked over, patted his shoulder, and advised, "Let it be. Why pine for one flower when there are plenty of flowers out there? Carson Flores is too strong; we just can’t compare. Lighten up."
Hugo Combs scoffed: "In life, what matters are money and power; who cares about being a bit better at fighting? There are no wolves in the city."
Fletcher Reid naturally understood Hugo’s psyche and said with a smile, "Samantha Tate comes from a well-off family, and she’s not strapped for cash... speaking of which, I’ve heard you’ve been very busy with work lately."
Hugo Combs grunted: "Busy auditing businesses, overseeing corrections; the group leader is only in a temporary position and hardly manages anything, so I’m the one doing almost everything. It is quite busy indeed."
Fletcher Reid chuckled softly, lowering his voice: "Then you’re practically the boss. Those companies, to get through the audit, they all have to have a chat with you, right?"
