"Wh-what?"
"I guess the wealth you've handed over so far isn't enough."
"You, you bastard! It's not like that!"
Justin's voice was clearly becoming flustered.
"You little shit, how long are you going to keep being so selfish? It's time we start helping each other as a family!"
Hugo raised his gaze to the air and smirked.
"Family..."
"What are you snickering at? Yes, family! After the old man and I are gone, you brothers will be the only family left in the world!"
Hugo's eyes turned cold upon hearing those words. His dark pupils sank even deeper.
"Family."
"Yes!"
"Am I your family too?"
"You, you bastard...!"
But for some reason, Justin couldn't continue speaking.
A sneer escaped Hugo's lips. Family, he said.
Hugo couldn't even remember if there was ever a time when Justin truly considered him as genuine family, or if such a thing had ever existed in the first place.
The air in the conference room froze. A tense and precarious silence followed.
