Hugh felt a deep heaviness pressing on him. After hist mother and sister walked out, he too made an excuse and

left Cavill Manor.

Late at night in Blue Bay Community, Hugh stood on the balcony wrapped in a dark robe, drinking with Mason.

Mason kept pressing him. “Things have already gone this far. Just divorce Bethan and marry Megan. That way, everyone gets what they want.”

Hugh leaned against the railing, his brow furrowed. “If my grandpa hadn’t pushed Megan so hard back then, she wouldn’t be living so carefully now. She begged me to hide Hudson’s identity only because she wanted to protect her child. She’s a mother. I can understand that.”

Aside from that, Megan had never made any

unreasonable demands. Even when she moved into his home with her child, it was because Bethan pressured 0:09 her into it, telling her it was for Hudson’s sake, so the boy

quickly. From then on, she had kept her distance from Hugh and never once overstepped.

Now she worked hard to support herself, choosing to rent an apartment and raise her child on her own, even taking the risk of becoming an influencer, rather than accept Hugh’s help again. She did it all because she feared Bethan might misunderstand and push for another divorce.

Mason looked at him with exasperation. “Hugh, how is it that one person after another dislikes her? Is everyone else in the wrong?”

Hugh answered, “It’s because you all like Bethan. You assume Megan came back with ulterior motives, so you’re biased against her.”

Mason gave him a look as if he had lost his mind. “So, you don’t like Bethan, you like Megan. That means no matter how much Bethan suffers, you refuse to see it. And whatever Megan says, you take at face value.”

Hearing that, Hugh felt that old frustration in his chest rise again. “Mason, all of you go on and on about love. B65you really find it meaningful to waste your time and:09

place? You met up every week, for crying out loud. Don’t tell me it wasn’t about feelings! What, were you two meeting just to sit in silence and stare at the wall?”

Hugh admitted without hesitation, “I won’t deny Megan was the only woman I ever truly cared about, the one I most wanted to marry. And yes, when she first came back, it shook me hard. But love and marriage aren’t everything to me.

“She was gone from my life for six years. In that time, I married Bethan, and we still managed just fine.”

Even if Hugh had once acted rashly for Megan, he had never considered getting back together with her or destroying his marriage with Bethan.

A week later, Jacob knocked and stepped into the Cavill Group CEO’s office. Setting down a bundle of papers before Hugh, he said, “It’s all been looked into, Mr. Cavill.”

Hugh closed his laptop, flipped open the file beside him, and said, “Go on.”

Jacob paused briefly before continuing. “Not long after giving birth, Ms. Ridley began suffering domestic abuse that lasted four years. During that time, she was beaten into three miscarriages and developed depression. Many neighbors, along with Dylan’s relatives, can testify to this. We’ve also obtained her hospital records and medical files.”

Hugh slowly closed the file in his hands, rose from his seat, and walked to the liquor cabinet in the lounge. He then poured himself a drink.

Jacob followed him and went on to report, “Four years ago, Dylan suddenly came into money, and the abuse stopped. But Ms. Ridley’s medical records show that was the period when her depression hit its worst point.

“A year later, Dylan died of a drug overdose. Ms. Ridley never left his family home. Verified records show she was often mistreated by his mother and sister throughout that year.

“Another year later, just a few months ago, Dylan’s Another forced her into a remarriage. Not long after, M3:09
