Chapter 272 We Are Still husband and Wife
“They are friends with me because I provide value to them. They are indeed exceptional, but I’m not so bad myself.”
The essence of adult social interaction is the exchange of
value.
Even if she divorced Hugh and left the upper social circle, she would strive to deepen her expertise and use her own strength and achievements to precisely match the social circles that can bring her resources.

At 9 PM, Mason and Gwen ran into Hugh at the apartment building entrance.
Seeing Hugh, Gwen directly hid behind Mason.
Mason deliberately asked Hugh, “Your wife moved today. Why didn’t you go help?”

Gwen cautiously interjected, “Mason and I just came from Bethan’s new place. Mr. Keating and Mr. Byron were there too.”
Hugh’s gaze shifted between Mason and Gwen for a few seconds before he turned and got into his car.
The car drove all the way into the community where Bethan’s parents had previously lived.
Hugh opened the door and entered the apartment, finding the spacious rooms spotlessly cleaned, all furniture covered with dust sheets, so neat and tidy there was no trace anyone had ever lived there.
Bethan had taken her parents and moved out of the property under his name without saying a word.
Hugh stood in the center of the living room, closing his eyes wearily.
The old Bethan would have sought his opinion, asked. about his preferences, even when buying a set of dishes.
But now, something as important as moving house with her parents, she hadn’t mentioned a single word to him:58

Hugh had to hear about it from others, and he was the last to know.
He felt terrible.
Late at night, Hugh went to Bethan’s new place based on the address Jacob had sent him.
The car window rolled down slowly. Hugh did not get out.
Although the villa wasn’t a detached single family home, it was an end unit, so it shouldn’t be too noisy.
The yard was tidy and well-kept, with lush flowers and plants.
Hugh lit a cigarette.
Early the next morning, as soon as Bethan arrived at the hospital, her assistant Joe reminded her that Hugh was waiting in her office.
Bethan entered the office. Hugh was standing by the window on a phone call.
Bressed in a black suit, his presence in her office made i§8

Bethan glanced at the breakfast on the desk and asked him, “What brings you here so early in the morning?”
Hugh ended the call and walked over to Bethan.
“Why didn’t you tell me about something as big as moving?”
Bethan showed no reaction. “This is my own matter. Why should I tell you?”
Hugh reminded Bethan, “We are still married.”
Bethan corrected him, “But we live separately. I want a
divorce!”
They both fell silent simultaneously, the atmosphere becoming deadlocked.
After a good while, Hugh softened his tone and said, “Bethan, I’m not here to argue with you.”
As he was leaving, Hugh reminded Bethan, “Even if we are separated, we are still husband and wife.

At 10 AM, Jacob knocked and entered the CEO’s office of Cavill Group.
“Mr. Cavill, we’ve checked both of Ms. Ridley’s phones. and found no suspicious contacts.”
Hugh irritably unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat down. “Speed up the investigation.”
Jacob said, “The identity of the person meeting with Ms. Ridley is confirmed. He was the top donor during her time as a streamer. He donated over four million dollars total in her livestreams, promised Ms. Ridley thirty million, to take her abroad to get married and settle down, and have her bear him a son.”
Hugh gave Jacob a look. “Until the truth is uncovered, she is not to go anywhere.”
Megan waited for two days, only to get the result that her top donor not only refused to give her money and take her abroad, but also demanded she repay the over four million dollars he had previously donated.
