Chapter 39
Hugh’s eyes widened once again!
The corners of Herman’s mouth curled into a faint smile. This was the first time he had seen Hugh unable to gain any advantage in front of a girl.
Probably in the entire world, there wouldn’t be many people who would dare to diss Hugh like this, right?
Herman said, “Monroe called us and said that you were missing. He was jumping around in Europe anxiously and even knew that it was raining in New York. He told us to quickly come out and look for you!”
Mary was secretly shocked!
The Hall family’s power in New York City was really terrifying!
She had only escaped for an hour, and they had already found her!
Hugh thought that Mary was finally feeling ashamed for not speaking, so he continued Herman’s words, “You’re actually sleeping here, taking a bath, and eating a big meal! You’re such a vicious woman. Do you even have a heart?”
Hugh could only tell himself in his heart that Monroe’s change in treatment of this girl was because he did not see the true nature of this girl.
In fact, she was a selfish and stupid girl!
Mary snapped right back, “That’s right, I’m vicious, I’m bad, I’m selfish, I’m heartless! Alright, you’ve confirmed it, you’ve found the truth, can you get lost and stop bothering me!?”
Mary’s attitude was also quite bad.
Hugh’s mouth was wide open in surprise. He had never known that a person’s understanding of themselves could be so clear!
She had seen herself so clearly, and he did not know how to scold her.
Hugh sat on the sofa, feeling depressed.
A smile flashed across Herman’s eyes. Seeing Hugh so depressed, he did not know why, but his mood became very good.
“I’m hungry too. Can I eat with you?”
Mary’s heart softened, “Of course. Please have a seat!”
Hugh, who had been hungry for a long time said nothing.
Did she really not invite him?
Even his beloved brother did not invite him?
Oh! F*ck!
Hugh leaned against his hair and closed his eyes, telling himself that he could not see the food, smell the fragrance, or hear the sound of chewing…
“Hugh? Do you want some?”
Hugh quickly got up. “I’m only eating because I’m giving you face.”
Mary snarked, “Thank you for giving Herman face!”
He rolled his eyes and pretended not to see it. He sat down elegantly, shook off the napkin, and picked up the knife and fork.
The food that Mary ordered was not bad.
The three of them ate together in harmony. Herman looked at Mary’s leg and asked about her injury, “Is the wound on your leg wet?”
Mary looked at Herman apologetically. “Don’t be angry. I was angry this morning, so I forgot about it. It was treated when I took a bath, but it’s not serious.”
Herman’s face, which was not cold, turned cold.
Hugh looked at the two of them curiously. “What injury?”
Herman told Hugh What Happened to Mary in Monroe Castle.
The more Hugh listened, the more shocked he became, and the way he looked at Mary changed.
“F*ck! Really? You killed Sirius? That’s a leopard! You actually escaped from the snow wolf’s mouth? Is that you? You’re too amazing!”
Mary didn’t really want to chat, “It’s not that amazing, it’s just good luck. Can you guys go back? I want to rest.”
Mary had ordered them to leave.
Hugh wanted to ask her to go with them, but Herman grabbed her shoulder and stopped him.

As soon as they left, Mary lay on the bed again.
Her mind was blank. Suddenly, all the jobs, the rich stepdaughters, the powerful older brothers… They all disappeared.
All she knew was that she had lost her love.

Mary stayed in the hotel for two days.
Two days later, Monroe Hall came back.
The first thing he did when he came back was to pick Mary up from the hotel. “Come, come home with me!”
Mary slept for two days and was very lazy.
She nodded, turned around and changed into the clothes she had worn that day, and followed Monroe out of the hotel.
After getting into the car, Monroe asked Mary, “What have you been doing in the hotel for the past two days?”
Mary held her chin and looked out of the window. “Sleeping!”
“Aren’t you bored?”
“If you’re bored, just look at your phone and chat with your friends.”
Monroe paused and noticed that the frequency of the clothes on her body seemed to be a little high.
“You’ve been staying in the city these two days. Why didn’t you go shopping?”
Mary turned her head to look at Monroe in bafflement. “Don’t you think you’re strange? You’re not like you at all when you’re nagging. Don’t you hate me anymore? Have you really accepted me as your sister?”
Mary was not used to such a fierce person suddenly becoming so kind.
More importantly, it would make her feel guilty!
