Chapter 1633: Did you offend someone?
"You’re both going to die."
Silence settled quickly after Hugo’s remark, leaving Cassandra and Kiara furrowing their brows. The two women exchanged puzzled looks before returning their attention to Hugo’s solemn gaze.
Kiara wanted to laugh it off and say, "Stop playing, Hugo."
But how could she, when this was the first time she’d seen such a serious look on his face? It hadn’t been long since they’d started spending more time together, but Kiara knew all too well how unserious he could be.
Right now, he was the complete opposite of the man she thought she knew.
And it left her wondering—did she really know Hugo at all?
Meanwhile, Cassandra replayed his words in her mind like a broken record. The more they echoed, the harder her heart pounded against her chest. Lifting her gaze to Hugo, she swallowed hard as her shoulders tensed.
"What... what did you say?" Cassandra whispered. "We... Kiara and I... are going to die?"
Hugo nodded, sighing heavily. "I didn’t want to do this," he admitted sincerely. "But... you girls need to know."
If it were just him, he could stick close and guard them. He was good at being a scarecrow, intimidating enough to keep trouble away. But if the enemies decided to act while he wasn’t around, he feared these women would find themselves in a life-and-death situation.
He felt responsible.
"Wait..." Still confused, Kiara rubbed the side of her head. "I don’t get it. What do you mean? Who would want to kill us?"
