Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2466

The man approached with a smile, "Sophia, don't you recognize an old classmate? It's me, Hugo!"

It took Sophia a moment before it clicked, "Hugo!"

Hugo had been in the same class as Robin. They'd met during a charity event back in the day and after Hugo quickly graduated, they lost touch, which is why Sophia didn't recognize him at first.

The last time Hugo came up in conversation was during the New Year's Eve party. Zoey had spilled the beans, claiming that Robin had taken all the credit for Hugo’s work on the project back during that charity event.

And now, here was Hugo, in J City of all places.

Hugo looked Sophia over, "You're just as stunning as ever!"

"Thanks!" Sophia chuckled, asking, "So, you're in J City now?"

"No," Hugo replied with a hearty laugh. "I'm working over in H City. Came down to see Robin for some business. He's the most capable among us. I had to swallow my pride to ask for his help."

Sophia was taken aback, eyeing him suspiciously, "You're here for Robin?"

"Yeah, Robin's always been good to us classmates. He's usually up for helping out!" Seeing Sophia's puzzled expression, Hugo inquired, "What’s up?"

"Don't you resent Robin?" Sophia shrugged.

"Why would I resent Robin?" Hugo looked genuinely puzzled.

Sophia continued, "Didn’t he steal your glory at that charity event, taking credit for your project plan? Aren’t you mad at him for that?"

"What?" Hugo looked astonished, a thoughtful expression crossing his face as if he was dredging up the past, then he chuckled awkwardly, "Sophia, who told you that?"

"Zoey," Sophia replied. "Everyone was involved in that charity event back then."

Sophia was stunned, "Is that true?"

"Absolutely!" Hugo said with conviction. "Robin has been my savior. Without him, I’d have been ruined."

Sophia was at a loss for words.

Hugo added, "Zoey was always jealous of Robin, always picking fights with him back in school. And even after all these years, he’s still slandering Robin. He's just no good. Don't believe a word he says!"

"And Robin’s been donating to students in need and schools for the underprivileged for years. How could he be greedy?"

Sophia was aware of Robin's philanthropy, having previously thought it was out of guilt. It turned out, he'd always been true to his heart.

She whispered, "I've wronged him."
