Chapter 123 Making Them Safe
Chapter 123 Making Them Safe
Gossip and rumors have been circulating all around the whole place.
Verda, who has been a supporter of Julius, has been left speechless by what she learned.
'I couldn't believe I let such a man go near us!' she exclaimed in her mind. Her eyes were still wide open.
"Mother…" Hugo, in a low voice, called out of her name.
Verda shook her head to the side. "We should leave now." She firmly said. She was about to stand up when Hugo caught her hands, stopping her.
"Mother let's stay here for a while. The guards or Julius' men are circulating outside. We can't just leave here in an instant." He uttered, pointing at the door behind their back.
Verda nodded. She took a deep sigh and sat back.
"I TOLD YOU TO FUCKING STOP THE VIDEO!" Julius' deafening shout echoed in the whole venue. He was on the stage, trying to cover up the screen with his body. The mic was still in his hands and all of them could hear his continuous cursing.
? When Julius noticed that what he was doing didn't work, he firmly closed his eyes. He just realized that he was already acting improperly.
'I should fix this mess first.'
When Julius opened his eyes, he now looked calm. He cleared his throat and step forward. He looked at the people surrounding them. They were now eyeing him with disgust and displeasure.
"These fucking people… As if they are perfect!" he murmured to himself, but since the mic was on his hands, all of them were able to hear it.
He smiled, not minding the negative comments being thrown at him.
"Don't worry, everyone! These are all lies!" His smile became wider. "These are just edited pictures! I didn't do this at all!" He laughed out loud.
Julius looked like as if he had gone crazy in the middle. He was smiling so widely, looking at everyone with pure satisfaction written on his face.
"I don't feel good about this…" he uttered. He stood up and walked towards the back, blending in with the crowd. When he saw the fire exit at the very side, which was covered with a lot of flowers that were, he knew what he had to do.
Hugo came back to his family. He glanced over at Abigail and smiled. "Can you guide my family outside? I need you all to leave this place immediately."
"Huh?" Abigail looked at Hugo weirdly.
"I'm not feeling good about what is happening here." He informed her which Abigail immediately understood.
"Alright. I'll do what I can." She smiled, gathering her things on the side. She held Hailey's hands softly.
"Are you sleepy already, little girl?" Her soft voice reached Hailey's ears, who were obviously clueless about what was happening.
"Yes, Sister." Hailey pouted her lips as she looked at Abigail with her dreamy eyes.
"Do you want to go home now?" she asked.
Hailey nodded her head as she stood up to go towards Verda and Hitano's direction.
"Mother, Father, I'm sleepy already." Hailey looked at them with squinted eyes before yawning loudly.
"Oh, let's go home now then, sweetie." Verda smiled at Hailey as she carried her in her arms.
"We should go home now, Hugo. Your sister is already fine." Verda looked at her side and saw Hugo just staring at them.
Hugo shook his head.
"I will stay here until the event is over. You don't need to worry about me." Hugo assuringly smiled at them.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Father." Hugo waved his hands. "You four should go now." He encouraged them as he glanced at the stage one more time.
His heart started beating loudly when he saw that Julius is on the verge of causing a ruckus in the middle.
"Go now, Mother, Father."
"Alright." Verda looks weirded out as she stared at her son. However, she thought that it was only because Hugo was worried about Hailey that he was encouraging them to go earlier.
Abigail smiled at Hugo for the last time. She stands up and guided his family towards the ire exit that Hugo had pointed out to her.
She already messaged Sir Rommel while Hugo's family was bidding goodbye to Hugo. There were a lot of questions circulating in her mind, but she had to wait until Hugo came home before she could even ask them.
How Hugo teleported her earlier from the monitor room to the venue without even her knowledge. It was a shock to her when she was having un inside the room and after a few seconds, she was already in the venue as if nothing happened.
"Hugo really surprises me a lot." The sides of her lips rose up. The car quickly arrived and all of them went inside.
She looked back when the car started to move. A lot of uninformed people started to run as if there was a commotion inside. Although, she has gotten worried. She knew that Hugo will be safe.
"I hope you willl be fine for the rest of the night Hugo…" she breathlessly whispered in the air as she leaned towards the window of their car.
"You need to be safe while I will make sure that your family is safe here." She uttered as she glanced at the back to see Hugo's family in the passenger seat.
"Mrs. Verda and Sir Hitano, may I offer my house for the night?" Abigail smiled as she said it.
Verda's eyes widened as she waved her hands saying no. "We have already troubled you for the night!" she exclaimed.
Abigail chuckled as she shook her head.
"I will be happy to let you stay there for a couple of hours. Maybe just until Hugo arrived."
"But is that okay for your mother?" Verda worriedly expressed herself. It would be troublesome for her family to visit Abigail's family this late.
"Of course! My mother would be happy to see you." Abigail answered with a smile on her face.
When Verda agreed, she immediately messaged Hugo informing him that his family will be in her house.
"I will wait for you, Hugo."
