Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 She Went to Europe?

She’d called him last night, but he hadn’t called back, busy with who-knows-what.

The more she thought, the more panicked she felt.

She couldn’t sit idle. She had to see Hugh.

At eleven that morning, Jacob knocked and entered Hugh’s office, lowering his voice. “Mr. Cavill, Ms. Ridley’s here, in the lobby.”

Hugh paused mid-document. “Bring her up.”

Jacob nodded and soon ushered Megan in.

As Jacob left, Megan blurted, “Hugh, can you lend me some money?”

His gaze on her was sharp, probing. “You’re that short on cash?”

Tears welled in Megan’s eyes. She came around his desk, voice trembling. “Hugh, you know my livestream Business tanked. I lost my job. Your mom tricked me into

penalties. I can’t pay, so she’s going after my brother. They’re desperate and leaning on me now.”

After a brief pause, she continued, “I’m barely keeping myself afloat. Where am I supposed to get money to settle them or pay your mom? You’re my only way out.”

Her voice broke, and she covered her face, sobbing softly.

Hugh walked to the liquor cabinet, his back to her, expression hidden.

“The company’s tied up in a new project,” he said. “Cash flow’s tight. I can’t help now. You’ll have to wait.”

Megan ventured, “Hugh, can you lend me some personally?”

“After my wife’s miscarriage, my grandfather was furious and froze all my personal accounts,” he replied. “I don’t have money to give you.”

Company funds tight? Personal accounts frozen?

Megan’s tears slowed, her face ashen. 2/7

Hugh spoke calmly, “Go home. When I have some breathing room, I’ll transfer you something.”

Megan lingered, eyes flickering with uncertainty.

She tested, “Hugh, Hudson’s birthday is coming up. Can you spare some time over Memorial Day Weekend to hang out with us?”

Hugh glanced at the office door.

Jacob, catching the signal, knocked and entered.

“I’ve got business,” Hugh said. “We’ll talk later.”

With Jacob present, Megan couldn’t press further. Visibly disappointed, she left.

Jacob closed the door and returned. “Mr. Cavill, the paternity test is back. Ms. Ridley’s child has no relation to her late husband’s siblings’ kids. He’s definitely not her husband’s. That might explain why she endured years of abuse.”

Hugh instructed, “Keep a close eye on her.” 3/7

Hudson’s parentage had nothing to do with him, but if Megan truly had anything to do with his brother’s death, he would personally see her thrown in prison.

That evening, as Bethan left work with Henry through the staff exit of the hospital, she immediately spotted Hugh.

His gaze lingered on Henry briefly before he adjusted his tie and approached.

“Memorial Day Weekend’s next week,” he said. “Any plans?”

Bethan tossed back two words, ice-cold. “Working

overtime.”

Hugh studied her detached expression, pausing.

He stepped closer, softening his voice. “You’re still recovering. Don’t push yourself so hard. I’m free next week. Wherever you want to go, I’ll go with you.”

Bethan shut him down. “Plenty of people want to go places with me. You’re not even in line, Mr. Cavill.”

Ahe walked off with Henry.

Hugh returned to Cavill Manor alone to see his family.

Fiona, too angry to see anyone, had been bedridden for three days.

Harvey’s condition was worse. The family doctor remained on call around the clock.

As Hugh left Harvey’s room, Ryan, face livid, berated him. “You bastard, you’ve got some nerve showing your face after putting your grandfather in this state over a woman!”

Hugh didn’t respond, lowering his eyes and leaving.

Passing the living room, he overheard Gwen say Bethan had gone to Europe. He froze.

“Who told you Bethan went to Europe?” he asked.

Gwen raised her phone, confused. “Bethan herself. She Fust called.”

Bethan and Arthur spent two wild days together.
