Chapter 1200

Hugh fell silent. He glanced down at the pistol in his hand, then at the driver climbing out of the car. So... it was all just a show? "Apologies, Mr. Tucker. We had to take precautions. I hope you understand," Maeve said while brushing the dust off her clothes as she stood up. And the masked men who had formed a human barricade? All of them were bodyguards from Hackett Group. Hugh frowned. "Why? Were you guys testing me?" "This is probably your first time to Seathburn City, right?" Maeve asked. "This isn't the road from Hackett Manor to the Brooks Group. In fact, it heads the opposite way. If you'd been paying attention, you would've noticed." "So it turns out that the message you had me send last night was a test." Charlie tapped Hugh's shoulder. "Ms. Scott wasn't just testing you. She also wanted to lure the whole group into a trap. Congrats, kid. You passed our test with flying colors." Hugh's gaze darkened. Maeve... Just like what boss said—she was as cunning as a fox.
