Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412 You’ll See Soon Enough

Late at night, in the private room of the Regal Club, Hugh sat alone, swirling the rich red wine in his glass, his mind clouded with frustration.

After a while, the door creaked open, and Mason stepped in. Spotting him, Hugh merely lifted his eyelids, blearily offering a look before pouring another glass and sliding it across the small table.

Mason took the glass but didn’t drink. His eyes zeroed in on the bruises faintly visible on Hugh’s face. “Gwen mentioned you had a hell of a fight with your family. What happened?”

Silence. Hugh tipped his head back and took a long swig of the wine, the liquid burning its way down his throat.

Mason took the glass from Hugh’s hand. “Is it all because of Bethan?”

Hugh let out a heavy sigh, sinking deeper into the plush sofa.

Actually, he wished so badly that it was about Bethan.

He yearned to sever all ties with his grandfather and father for her; to abandon every privilege and simply be with her.

Herdaydreamed about Bethan noticing him, giving hi hat9:58

But as reality set in, Hugh knew these were nothing more than pipe dreams.

Leaning forward, Hugh refilled his glass.

His soulful eyes fixated on the swirling red liquid.

“My grandad and dad keep yapping about giving me everything in the Cavill family. But behind my back, they’re snooping on my accounts, meddling in my personal life, and sending goons to trail me like a criminal.”

A pang of suffocation hit Hugh in the chest.

He had an overwhelming urge to just up and leave this place.

Mason asked, concern lacing his voice, “You seriously thinking of ditching your inheritance?”

Letting out a humorless laugh, Hugh said, “No way in hell.”

He was determined to take control of his own life from now on.

Mason prodded, “What’s your plan then?”

With a meaningful glance at Mason, Hugh replied, “You’ll see soon enough.”

The days passed, and Hugh kept his distance from Bethan. 

Before long, it was the end of the month, and the crisp New York air had turned decidedly cold.

Trying to console Bethan, Yvonne said, “The Cavill family is the top-notch family in New York. Hugh is their sole heir. He’s good-looking and generous as hell. Any woman lucky enough to marry him can bring fortune to her whole family. You can’t let this golden opportunity slip through your fingers.”

Bethan gave a soft “hmm” and drawled, “He really is generous to those around him. Before calling off the wedding, he not only paid off my family’s huge debt but also bought my parents a house in the city center. He transfers a six-figure sum to my parents’ account every month. And the gifts he gave me? Any one of them could sell for enough to keep me comfortable for the rest of my life.”

Yvonne patted Bethan on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’ll figure something out. Isn’t your birthday coming up? When is it?”

Out of the corner of her eye, Bethan glanced at Nola and Jasper not far away. “Seven days later. The birthday party’s set at the

Regal Hotel. You gotta come.”

Yvonne cleared her throat. “On your birthday, I’ll make sure you and Hugh become an item. If you’re lucky enough to get pregnant with the next heir of the Cavill family, you’ll marry into that top-tier family and live in luxury.”

Bethan was left speechless.

This wasn’t part of their “rehearsal”.

Yvonne continued, “Once you’re pregnant with his kid, it won’t matter who Hugh has in his heart. It’ll be too late for him to do anything about it!”

Bethan waved her hand in refusal. “Hugh’s fallen out with his family for the woman he loves. He must really care about her. I’m afraid he’ll blame me if things go wrong.”

Yvonne retorted, “Good men are worth fighting for. You need to play your cards right if you want a life of luxury. Opportunities don’t wait around. You might never get another chance like this. Leave it all to me. I guarantee you’ll be the real Mrs. Cavill on your birthday!”
