Chapter 133

Hugo Shaw's face darkened instantly. He hadn't expected Lucy White to see through his secret with just one glance.

The shocked looks from Director Jude Miller and Fang Yan made his skin crawl.

"Miss White," he said through gritted teeth, "some things are better left unsaid."

Lucy took a sip of tea, her red lips parting slightly. "Mr. Shaw, you started this."

Hugo choked, his chest tightening.

"I didn't know you had such skills," he admitted, then shot a warning glance at the director and his companion. "You heard nothing, correct?"

Both men shook their heads hastily, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

Satisfied, Hugo turned back to Lucy. "I apologize for earlier."

"Since you've figured it out," he lowered his voice, "you should know my 'sponsorships' are just a front."

Lucy toyed with her teacup, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"They say you can divine fortunes?" Hugo suddenly perked up. "How about reading mine?"

He added, "Get it right, and the supporting female role is yours."

"Divination isn't free," Lucy tapped the table lightly with her fingertips.

Hugo raised an eyebrow. "Meaning?"

"Masters charge for their services," Director Jude whispered.

"No problem." Hugo pulled out his wallet. "As long as it's accurate."

Lucy produced three ancient divination coins. "Blow on them three times."

Hugo complied, his gaze scrutinizing.

"What do you wish to know?" Lucy asked.

"Marriage and family health," Hugo said offhandedly.

As the coins landed, Lucy's eyes flickered. "Are you sure you want to hear this now?"

After the others left, Lucy cut to the chase:

"Mr. Shaw, your wife was unfaithful before your wedding."

Hugo's fingers clenched abruptly.

"You noticed something off on your wedding night, which is why you've never touched her."

"Yet she got pregnant soon after."

Lucy gave him a meaningful look. "So you started taking lovers—as revenge?"

The smirk froze on Hugo's face.

He stared at Lucy for a long moment before rasping, "Bullseye."

Memories flooded back—

The meticulously planned ceremony, the drugged groom, the eerie hypnotic suggestions...

When his therapist revealed the truth, his entire world had crumbled.

"How could you know this?" His voice trembled.

Lucy gathered the coins. "The divination never lies."

Hugo suddenly laughed, the sound edged with hysteria. "What a divination!"

He leaned in abruptly. "Then tell me, what do I want to do right now?"

The air in the private room turned to ice.
