Chapter 631 The Battle
When Hugh was talking, he pushed the teacup on the coffee table to Colin.
Colin glanced at the teacup, smiled very lightly, and said, "Hugh, you can cover up so well."
Hugh looked calm, but the fingers on his knees curled slightly, "Mr. Farrell, what do you mean by that?"
Colin said, "I always thought my dad and you are sworn brothers who would have each others' back. I didn't expect..."
Colin chuckled, paused deliberately, and raised his eyes to look at Hugh.
Hugh felt uneasy with the glaring from Colin. He reached for his teacup, took a sip, and laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Farrell, did you misunderstand something?"
Colin stopped smiling and said, "Well, I do hope that I misunderstand it."
Hugh was speechless.
After Colin finished his words, the atmosphere in the living room fell into dead air.
Under Colin's gaze, Hugh's hand trembled involuntarily while holding the teacup.
Seeing that, Colin smiled suddenly and said, "Hugh, it isn't easy for you to become who you are now. Why do you choose to be manipulated by others again?"
Hugh looked tense and didn't say a word.
Colin chuckled lightly and didn't speak anymore. He stood up and walked away.
As soon as Colin left, Hugh slid off the couch, and the tea in his hand spilled all over his body.
Mrs. Langford came down from the second floor when she heard the noise and hurriedly reached out to help him up, "What's wrong with you?"
Hugh leaned against the couch with a pale face and said, "Call...Call Lance."
Mrs. Langford was stunned and asked, "Why do you want to call Lance for nothing?"
Hugh was furious and said, "If I ask you to make the call, just do it. Stop talking nonsense!"
At the same time, Colin walked out of the Langfords' villa. He got into Ethan's car passenger seat and started to smoke.
Ethan threw a file into his arms.
Colin raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "What is this?"
Ethan replied, "Information about Hugh."
Colin teased, "That's so fast?"
Ethan asked, "What do you think?"
Colin didn't continue to look further at those documents. He smiled playfully and said, "It can't be a coincidence. Hugh has been at the Farrell Group for many years. With his ability and connections, he could even have a listed company, let alone a small company."
Ethan put up a faint smile and said, "Unfortunately, he isn't the lucky one. He is targeted by Brandon."
Colin understood him in seconds and sneered.
Brandon had planned everything step by step. When Hugh started a business, he set him up. Then, Hugh was in trouble and struggled, but he picked the right time to offer Hugh money.
When people were in trouble, they were more likely to make mistakes.
Even though he was grabbing a deadly blade, he would think that he had grabbed a lifesaver.
When Ethan finished speaking, he looked at Colin and asked, "Where are we going now?"
Colin leaned back in the seat and said, "The office."
Ethan glanced down at the watch on his wrist and asked, "Why are you still going back to the office at this hour?"
Colin closed up the file on his hand, stretched his slender legs forward, and said, "Brother, I'm in trouble right now. I am being attacked internally and externally. There is Brandon on the outside and my wife's best male friend on the inside."
