However, Malcolm was different. He was a man of charm. He earned himself a reputation as a tough businessman and everything he had was obtained by his own strength.
Velma, as an adopted daughter of the Remington family, dreamed of marrying Malcolm, such an outstanding man.
But it was Hugo who slept with her. All her beautiful dreams were shattered in an instant.
"Hugo, stop sleeping! Get up! What's wrong with your arrangement? Why are you here?" Velma cried and shook Hugo hard.
When Hugo heard Velma's voice, he was in a daze. He thought of something and suddenly opened his eyes.
Then he saw Velma, who was crying her heart out. He felt uneasy and got up.
Hugo looked down and found himself naked. Velma was the same as him. He was so scared that he was at a loss!
Velma cried and curled up in a tight ball and did not know what to do now.
She felt that her world had collapsed completely.
Hugo pursed his thin lips. He glanced at Velma and roared, "Why are you crying? It's not the first time..."
Hugo's voice trailed off. He suddenly caught a glimpse of the blood on the wrinkled white sheets.
His heart was full of panic. "You... First time?"
Hugo stammered out of panic and looked at Velma helplessly. This time, he had caused great trouble.
He never provoked such a woman.
Velma was also staring at the blood in a daze with her sad eyes. There was strong despair and tears in her eyes. She looked more lovely.
There was a sound.
Someone was knocking on the door.
Hugo's heart couldn't help but beat faster. He was instantly annoyed. He frowned and roared, "What is it?"
"Mr. Hugo, Mr. Guillermo asks you to see him with Miss Remington."
It was the voice of Spencer Undergrove, Guillermo's secretary. Hugo was somewhat and thought, "How did they know?"
He sat for a minute to calm himself down.
However, he still had no idea.
Hugo got up to take a bath. When he walked to the bathroom door, he looked back at Velma, who was still sad. Knowing that her heart was on Malcolm, he was upset and frowned with displeasure.
He said in a cold voice, "Put on your clothes and go over in a while." After that, he entered the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Hugo and Velma appeared in front of Guillermo and the others.
Tyrone, Velma's father, was also here. Hugo and Velma instantly became uneasy.
Tyrone glared at Hugo. With years of business experience, his eyes were sharp and now a little fierce. "Hugo, how dare you touch my daughter!"
Tyrone's words comforted Velma a little.
Tyrone was usually cold to her, but tonight, for her sake, he was angry at Hugo. She finally felt a trace of warmth.
What was going on tonight?
Hugo's gaze swept across everyone's faces. When it fell on Guillermo's angry face, Hugo was scared.
He clenched his fists and stammered, "Mr. Remington, I ... I don't know what's going on."
"Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?" Tyrone looked at Hugo coldly and roared angrily, "Or are you trying to ignore the Remington family?"
Although Tyrone did not like Velma, the adopted daughter, she was a member of the Remington family. In front of outsiders, he wouldn't allow her to be bullied.
Tyrone had always believed that Carolyn, his biological daughter, was still alive and would return home one day.
As soon as he thought of Carolyn, Tyrone's heart ached as if it was pricked by needles. If Carolyn was still there, they would live a happy life.
Carolyn was lovely and considerate. When Tyrone went home every day, as long as he saw Carolyn's pink face and happy smile, his exhaustion instantly disappeared.
Yvonne heard Tyrone's words and said with a smile, "Mr. Remington, things have happened. It's too late to blame anyone now. Moreover, Velma was also involved. Let's discuss how to solve this matter."
Velma looked at Yvonne with tears in her eyes. She thought in disbelief, "How could she say that? She was the one who arranged this.
But in the end, it turned out to be her son. I really doubted whether she did it on purpose."
"Mrs. Lowe, you..."
"Velma, I know you have been wronged, but things have happened. We are all adults, and we have to figure out a solution first." Yvonne interrupted Velma and looked at her with a smile. Yvonne's gaze was somewhat strange.
Velma felt that she suffered a lot, but she could not speak about her sufferings.
She felt hatred deep down in her heart. Her entire body was quietly in pain and every cell in her body was bitten. It hurt so much that she curled up slightly.
Her beautiful face was blushed. Her brows were furrowed and her hands were clenched tightly.
She was a pawn that would be abandoned by the Remington family at any time. And now, she could only marry Hugo. By doing so, at least she was still useful.
Seeing that her parents and her two brothers all sat silently, Velma could only fight for herself.
She forced a smile and asked gently, "Then Mrs. Lowe, what do you want to do? When I woke up, I found Hugo lying next to me. I was also shocked at that time."
Hearing that, Yvonne instantly understood what Velma meant.
"Velma wants to marry Hugo? But she likes Malcolm very much and vows that she won't marry anyone except Malcolm!
No matter what, she is not the biological daughter of the Remingtons and will be given up at any time. For Hugo, marrying her won't be of much use.
Now, as long as Velma says that she does not want to marry Hugo and we give her some compensation, the matter will be settled."
"Mrs. Lowe, what are you going to do? Their affairs are playing on the big screen. Now, all the people in Fielddell know it. You will not try to be perfunctory, will you?" Debbie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Velma and Hugo were shocked. "How did all the people in Fielddell know?"
Velma was glad in her heart that her decision was right.
Yvonne was not easy to deal with, and Velma was the same.
A flawless plan was carried out like this... Velma couldn't help but put on a strange and evil smile.
It made Yvonne's heart tremble.
