How could she possibly trust him again, understand him, or support him?

His gaze slowly drifted down to the craft project Bethan had just finished.

Hugh asked her, “What made you suddenly want to do crafts?”

Bethan stood up and looked directly into Hugh’s eyes. “Hugh, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed about a little baby calling me Mommy. He said he was so cold that day so cold.”

They stared at each other, and Hugh’s eyes turned bloodshot.

His throat worked violently as he reached out to grab Bethan’s hand. “I’m sorry. This is all my fault.”

Bethan removed her hand and placed the pendant in Hugh’s palm.

Her voice was steady as she continued, “Hugh, you’re so loving and generous. You have such genuine care for your fake son. Your real son says he’s cold-surely you can warm him up, right?”

After she spoke, Bethan turned and walked away.

She reached the bedroom door and glanced back. Hugh had collapsed into the vanity chair, completely drained.

She watched as his eyes turned red, clutching the crystal pendant she’d just made against his chest.

Bethan turned away coldly.

Hugh had a brilliant education. Of course, he knew that crystal glass was the worst conductor of heat.

That crystal pendant with their baby’s photo sealed inside-he would never be able to warm it up. Not in this lifetime.

Jacob reported, “Mr. Cavill, last night, Ms. Davis transferred half a million dollars to Ms. Ridley’s account, Ms. Ridley and Hudson are currently staying at a hotel.”

Hugh’s finger tapped lightly against his glass. “Set up an apartment for them. Install full surveillance.”

Jacob hesitated, concerned. “Mr. Cavill, if you get close to Ms. Ridley again to uncover the truth about Mr. Harper’s death, Mrs. Cavill will definitely get the wrong idea.”

Hugh closed his eyes, exhausted. “Leonard’s fate was different from mine, but he was still my brother. I need to know exactly how he died.”

As for Bethan, Hugh knew she already thought the worst

of him.

Telling her about this would only burden her more.

He knew his mother was struggling with Leonard’s accidental death.

So, Hugh decided to shoulder this alone.

As long as Bethan didn’t push for divorce or leave their home, he’d let her vent, let her punish him however she wanted.

His mind a mess, Hugh changed the subject. “Follow up on the tech department’s merger of the two small teams tomorrow. Promote Selina Zaki to team leader.”

Jacob raised a doubt. “Mr. Cavill, Selina’s only been permanent for less than a year. The merged R&D team will have over a hundred people. Can she handle it?”

Hugh sent Jacob a photo on his phone. “This is Selina’s father, a core engineer at Britain AI, their top chip tech expert. His contract with his current company ends in a week. Have HR draft an appointment letter tomorrow. In three days, send HR with Selina to Britain. Spare no expense to recruit her father to our company.”

Jacob’s eyes lit with admiration.

He finally understood why, among all the interns, Hugh had singled out Selina for promotion.

Hugh’s real target was her father, Brett Zaki, Britain’s leading Al chip engineer.

Reflecting on past moves, Jacob realized Hugh always excelled at talent acquisition.

In the early hours, Hugh returned home to a pitch-black house.
