Mistress Framed Her, Now the Mafia Princess Wants Blood

Even though Dorothy spoke that way, Hugo still didn’t feel at ease inside.

Hugo said, “It’s only a house. Tomorrow I’ll let the assistant take you to see some homes. Pick the one you like and swipe straight away.”

When he finished, he gave her a black card.

It was his additional card. He had earlier given one to Kiara; this one now went to Dorothy.

The moment Dorothy noticed the black card, her eyes brightened. “Brother Hugo, thanks. I knew you would treat me the best.”

She often said words like this, but this time they didn’t make him feel good.

In the end, Hugo said the company still had work at night, and he had to return to handle overtime, then he left.

Dorothy didn’t say anything.

If it were Kiara, she would say not to stay up late, that it was bad for the body.

She used to repeat that in his ear many times, and he felt bothered then.

Now, no one said it, but he felt somewhat strange instead.

It felt like only when a person cared would they keep worrying and talking nonstop.

If they didn’t care, they wouldn’t even raise a question.

That evening, Hugo headed to a bar and invited several buddies to drink and drown his sadness.

From the start until the end, he kept drinking one cup after another.

Everyone feared that if he didn’t stop, something might happen, so they hurried to block him.

“Brother Hugo, don’t treat alcohol like water. If anything happens, Sister Kiara won’t let us go.”

Hugo brushed them off and whispered to himself, “She won’t. Kiara won’t search for you anymore.”

Everyone was shocked and watched Hugo anxiously. “Brother Hugo, you didn’t do anything bad to Sister Kiara because of Dorothy, did you?”

Hugo’s eyes turned red. “She hurt Dorothy and caused the baby to miscarry. I had her locked up so she could learn some discipline.”

The moment he finished, everything turned silent.

In the past, they had all supported Hugo; now none of them spoke.

Seeing them keep silent, Hugo frowned and asked, “Why don’t you speak?”

In the end, one person dared to speak the truth. “Brother Hugo, you and Sister Kiara endured hard times together. Who didn’t envy your love before? But now you keep harming Sister Kiara for that woman, and you even plan to send her to prison. Aren’t you afraid that one day Sister Kiara will be completely hurt and won’t ever come back?”

Hugo stayed in thought for a long time, biting his lip lightly. “She won’t. She loves me too much. She won’t really leave.”

Everyone could keep watching, and shattered his false belief.

“Brother Hugo, you’re going to lock Sister Kiara up. How do you think she’ll love you?”

“Think about it yourself. If you changed places with her, would you still feel fine?”

Hugo felt more restless inside, but he wouldn’t admit he was wrong.

“She did the wrong thing first. I am just upholding justice.”

Yet in the next moment, his friend’s words crushed his shield.

“Brother Hugo, are you sure you’re protecting fairness? How do you know Dorothy didn’t trick you?”

“As far as I know, Dorothy doesn’t look pregnant. Some days ago, she even went to check women’s health issues, because my wife happened to be the doctor who saw her.”

“But Dorothy has never seen me, and she won’t know that the doctor is my wife.”

Suddenly, Hugo’s heart trembled deeply.

“Call your wife now and ask about Dorothy’s condition.”

Even though this matter went against professional ethics, for his brother, he wouldn’t back down, even if it meant danger.

He dialed the number and asked, “Wife, do you recall telling me a few days back that Brother Hugo’s new girlfriend went to see you? What problem did she check at that time?”

Once she heard this, the woman on the other end scolded loudly. “What new girlfriend? She’s just a mistress. You men, aren’t that good. Once you’ve got cash, you start messing around outside.”

“I’m warning you, if you dare follow Hugo and keep another woman outside, the two of us will divorce!”

He lowered his head, moved to the side with the phone, and said quietly, “Wife, I’m outside right now. Can’t you save some face for me? You’re making it awkward for me.”

The man kept promising he wouldn’t betray her and coaxed her for quite a while before the woman doctor finally spoke.

“Dorothy came to see me for a gynecological problem. She said she hadn’t gotten her period for two months and wanted to check if she was pregnant. But I examined her uterine lining, and it was only 5mm. With a lining that thin, she couldn’t be pregnant.”

“In the end, it was confirmed as polycystic syndrome. I gave her some medicine and told her to take it regularly after going home.”

Hugo’s mind buzzed.

He grabbed the phone from the man and asked with a shaking voice, “So you mean Dorothy isn’t pregnant?”
