The woman's tricks were obvious this time too. But somehow, he kept falling helplessly for such transparent ploys.
Hugo looked down at Winter with an infinitely cold gaze.
"Who sent you?"
"Pardon?"
Winter asked back with a blank face.
Hugo silently stared at Winter. Winter blinked slowly and asked again.
"What do you mean by that?"
Hugo didn't answer.
The woman's clear face didn't look like someone who was lying. If it was a lie, she would be considered a great actress.
If that was the case, he just needed to give her what she wanted and make her keep quiet.
"Then what do you plan to do now?"
"Excuse me?"
"Have you decided who to stab?"
Winter still had a face that showed she didn't understand anything.
But Hugo continued to press Winter regardless.
"How much will it take?"
"What? What do you..."
"I'm asking how much it will take for you to keep your mouth shut."
"Ah..."
Winter seemed to finally catch on to Hugo's meaning.
