Chapter 228

Jane replied, “Hugh, you had chatted with me for a long time before I got on the plane. I also said that I wanted to meet up with Lila tonight. You’re not the kind of person who will disturb me and keep asking for attention.”

Hugh wrote, “Then you’re wrong. Actually, I’m a needy man I just want to attract your attention.”

Hugh sent another smiling emojil

Jane thought of Christmas’s kiss that night and could not help but blush.

Jane replied, “To be able to make Mr. Croft say such shameless words, I feel like many women will be envious and jealous

of me.”

“You don’t care about what others think. They are not comparable to you.”

These words came from the bottom of Hugh’s heart.

After that Christmas night in Meridonia, Hugh thought his relationship with Jane had improved a lot.

Sometimes, they could be like a couple.

Every time Hugh felt a slight change in their relationship, he was overjoyed.

It was like he was about to solve the most difficult puzzle in the world.

Jane wrote, “Thank you for the compliment. I’m flatter.”

“Uncle Raymond went to Hillslein again. This time, he obtained accurate information and found out where Luna was. “Regarding Luna’s video you posted, it caused an uproar on the internet. The Croft family noticed it.

“Grandpa said that he would talk about this matter after New Year’s Day. He asked Uncle Raymond’s family to deal with the remaining aftermath first.

“For the sake of his status, Uncle Raymond would get rid of Luna. Janie, be careful. Uncle Micheal seems to be interested in you.”

Hugh’s Uncle Micheal… Michael Croft?

Jane pursed her lips.

She tried to recall the information about the Croft family.

Michael was a cunning old fox.

Before Hugh appeared, everyone thought that the Croft family and D.Y. Group’s future leader would be Michael.

Micahel was the eldest son of Victor, the previous ruler.

Michael showed enough ability to be the head of the family and lead the D.Y. Group and the Croft family.

Matthew from the third branch of the Croft family did not like to fight. He liked to travel around and was peaceful. He was not competitive.

Levi from the fourth branch, who was also Hugh’s father, was indeed quite talented back then.

Levi was comparable to the first branch’s Michael.

There had always been rumors that when Victor retired in the future, they would choose the head of the

Croft family from these two branches. Then, everyone would choose their sides.

Levi married at a young age. His wife was his first love and childhood sweetheart, who was also Hugh’s

mother.

Unfortunately…

Hugh’s mother died in childbirth.

From then on, Levi could not recover from it. He was depressed until now.

As for Raymond from the second branch, his ability was even inferior to Layne’s.

It was even more impossible to hope that Mr. Narcissist could salvage the situation, defeat Hugh, and

take back D.Y. Group.

Only his competitiveness was much higher than the third branch and the fourth branch. He did not care

about Michael at

all.

Of course.

Michael only had abilities.

However, he was not worth mentioning when compared to a true genius.

Hence, Victor fought against all opposition and allowed Hugh, the son of Levi, to become the head of the

Croft family at a

young age.

After that, all objections disappeared completely.

Because they were all eliminated by Hugh.

When they made this decision, everyone thought Michael would cause a scene.

How could he accept that the position of the Croft family, which was initially at his fingertips, was

snatched away by his nephew?

Unexpectedly, Michael calmly accepted this ending.

On the other hand, Raymond caused quite a commotion.

He was just a piece of trash. Hugh didn’t take Raymond seriously at all. He suppressed him with a flip of

his hand.

Jane sent a message. “Hugh, what do you think of your Uncle Michael? Is he a friend or foe to you?”

Hugh replied, “Not an enemy, and definitely not a friend.”

They were all smart people.

Hugh’s words instantly gave Jane an impression of Michael.

Jane replied, “What a cunning old fox. His mind is only filled with benefits. Only such a person is suitable

to survive in the business world. I understand. Don’t worry.”

Hugh replied, “Janie… When can we meet again? Cough! If you want to eat Type Omega blood’s food, I

can send it to you!” Jane sent a message back, “Okay! When the time comes, let’s drink some good

wine. When the mood is set up, we’ll have some intimate action. How about a kiss like the one during

Christmas night?”

Plop!

Hugh never expected Jane to respond like this.

In an instant, his heart skipped a beat.

His fingertips trembled.

He poked at the phone screen.

It took a while before he sent a message.

Hugh wrote, “Alright!”

Jane replied, “Pfft! Hugh, you’re so cute.”

Hugh could not help but secretly swallow a ***of saliva.

His Adam’s apple bobbed.

He felt as if his body was on fire..

His blood was boiling.

He could only pick up the iced whisky and drink it in one gulp.

It wasn’t enough!

His body was still burning!

He needed more ice to cool himself down!

If it were the previous Hugh, he would never expect he would be agitated by a woman’s word. He felt like

his brain could not function anymore.

Hugh once thought a romantic relationship with a woman was the most pointless thing!

Hugh saw Connor change his girlfriend frequently. He felt Connor was hopeless and bet Connor would die in a woman’s bed sooner or later.

Now…

It seemed that the table had turned.

Robert and Connor were drinking with Hugh.

They played Glory of Legends while paying attention to Hugh’s every move.

Their attention was completely diverted, causing the two of them to be unable to unleash their skills and lose the team

battle.

This was a critical battle for them to reach the King of Glory ranking.

However, they were too curious about Hugh!

Sering

h’s rare stunned expression they immediately logged out of the game.

They looked at Hugh with great interest.

They were afraid that Hugh would kick them to death. Otherwise, they really wanted to take out their phones and capture Hugh’s current expression.

It would be a scene worthy of a historical record!

Hugh had finished adding the ice to his glass.

However, it wasn’t enough.

He stood up abruptly.

His deep and magnetic voice sounded a little drunk. “I’m going to the washroom.”

Connor and Robert said in unison, “Okay!”

With that, Hugh slipped away.

Connor and Robert could no longer hold it in.

They could see the evil smiles on each other’s faces.

“Only Jane can make our Mr. Croft reveal an expression that doesn’t match his character at all.”

Robert leaned against the sofa and picked up the red wine with one hand. He swayed it gently and looked extremely lazy.

After saying that, Lila’s childish and stubborn face appeared in Robert’s mind.

Damn it. She was clearly not a stunning beauty, but an incomparably childish girl.

Robert had seen so many women. Beautiful, enchanting, pure, pitiful…

Many women were willing to throw themselves at Robert, but Robert ignored them.

Why did he keep thinking of Lila in his mind?
