Chapter 219 Trying to Cut Ties With Me?
Her voice broke, and tears spilled down her cheeks. “But your wife made me wait in the hallway for over an hour, then sent Mr. Locke to drag me away.”
She continued, her voice trembling, “Mr. Locke knew I was terrified of heights, so he deliberately tied me to those high-thrill rides to torment me. Then he strapped me to a helicopter, tied a rope around me, and pushed me out the door.”
Megan’s body shook uncontrollably. “He’s a psychopath, Hugh. He tortured me in every way he could. I nearly died out there. I’m so scared.”
Sobbing, she reached for Hugh’s arm.
He stepped back subtly, evading her grasp.
His face was unreadable as he spoke, “Megan, there are some things I need to make crystal clear.”
Megan looked up, her tears slowing as she registered the gravity in his voice.

“I’ve done almost everything you’ve asked. I’ve tried my best to make up for what I owe you. You’re entitled to your ambitions, even a bit of greed, but there’s a line you can’t cross.”
Megan shook her head, her panic rising. “Hugh, I don’t understand what you mean.”
He fixed her with a steady gaze. “Why did you have your mother fake a collapse outside the restaurant?”
Megan’s eyes darted nervously.
“She didn’t fake it. If you don’t believe me, ask the doctors. I can show you her medical reports.”
Hugh pressed on. “And what was your intention in cursing my wife today?”
Megan stumbled out of bed, her movements frantic.
She stood before him, pleading through her tears. “Hugh, don’t look at me like that. I’m scared. Yes, I ordered the flowers, but I didn’t choose them-the florist messed up. You have to
believe me!”
Hugh watched her quietly.

“I’ve warned you more than once,” he said, his voice calm but 2/6 firm, “not to go near my wife. Consider today a lesson.”

He continued, “You clearly don’t know Arthur. What he did today was just a taste. If there’s a next time, I can’t guarantee you’ll walk away in one piece.”
Megan’s jaw dropped, her eyes wide with disbelief.
“When I offered you compensation back then,” Hugh said, “you refused it. Don’t expect it now. I promised to keep Hudson’s identity a secret, and I’ll stick to that as long as you stay in line. But if you cross my boundaries again and bother my wife, I won’t hesitate to let my grandfather deal with you once more.”
Megan’s legs gave out, and she crumpled to the floor.
“From now on, anything you need, you go through my assistant, Jacob. I’ll give him your contact information.”
Hugh turned to leave, but she grabbed his leg in desperation. “Hugh, are you trying to cut ties with me?”
He looked down at her, his voice cold. “You’d better know your place, or you’ll learn that the hard way.”
Hugh strode out of Megan’s hospital room without a backward glance.
Megan, propped up on her hands against the cold floor, gritted her teeth and hissed, “Scumbag!” 376

When he’d been sweet to her, he’d hung on her every word.
Now, the moment she stepped out of line, he turned cold and showed her who was boss.
Shaken by Arthur’s antics and humiliated by Hugh’s blunt confrontation, Megan collapsed in exhaustion, sobbing into the
floor.
Judging by Hugh’s attitude today, he seemed ready to cut ties with her and win back Bethan’s heart.
She couldn’t let that happen.
She was determined to marry into the Cavill family, to become the lady of New York’s most powerful dynasty. She refused to
be sidelined.
Scrambling to her feet, Megan grabbed her phone and dialed Fiona’s number.
That evening, Bethan made her usual visit to Keating Mansion.
After finishing James’ treatment, she lingered, reluctant to leave.
James, lounging in his wheelchair, raised an eyebrow. “If you really don’t want to face him, I can have the staff prepare a 4/6

room for you. Stay as long as you like.”
Bethan was about to agree when Andy walked in.
She greeted him politely, but Andy’s tone was brisk. “Dr. Olsen, Mr. Cavill’s been waiting downstairs for a while. If there’s nothing else, you should head out.”
Bethan glanced awkwardly at James before hurrying downstairs.
James, dressed in black trousers and a white deep-V shirt, leaned back lazily in his wheelchair.
His sharp, narrowed eyes followed her to the door, his magnetic voice rising with a playful lilt. “Grandfather, you’re just going to scare off my doctor like that?”
Andy’s expression was stern. “James, Dr. Olsen is a Cavill. You need to watch yourself.”
James scoffed, a smirk tugging at his lips, “I don’t care whose family she’s from. Once she’s here, she’s mine.”
