If this was the first annoying thing, then the second annoying thing is –
“Knock, knock, knock.”
The office door was knocked on, and the assistant who was granted permission walked in.
“President, she’s here again, insisting on seeing you before she leaves.”
Since the Bernard family had a falling out with Steffie and Marley, Steffie had a misbirth and Marley fell ill.
Their status plummeted, and Steffie paid no attention to Marley, let alone her own recent misbirth, as she insisted on seeking out Hugo. She hoped that Hugo, considering their young daughter who couldn’t be separated from her father, would continue to live with her.
Steffie also promised that she had realized her mistake and would not hurt the children anymore. She would definitely live a good life with Hugo.
Even to soften Hugo’s heart, Steffie finally came to the company directly with her daughter, ignoring the hungry crying of her daughter and kneeling in the lobby.
Due to the presence of children, the bodyguard was also unable to rush people, so he had to let his assistant ask Hugo.
Hugo remained silent, only scrolling through his phone to read messages
related to Adeline.
The assistant waited for a long time for Hugo’s response, and when he was about to take matters into his own hands and go out to solve it

himself, Hugo finally spoke up.

“If you dare to bother me with this kind of thing again in the future, you can also roll with her.”
The assistant’s body stiffened, and he quickly responded, walking slightly hurriedly towards the exit.
In the lobby on the first floor, Steffie knelt in the middle, holding her daughter without moving.
She looked pale, her body swaying unsteadily, and her daughter in her arms was crying weakly from hunger.
Steffie seemed as if she couldn’t hear, her eyes staring fixedly at the president’s exclusive elevator in front of her.
Finally, the elevator started moving.
“With a “ding“, the CEO’s private elevator descended from the top floor to the first floor. The elevator door opened slowly, and a figure walked out slowly.”
Suddenly, Steffie’s originally dull eyes lit up, and she didn’t care about the pain in her knees as she quickly got up and walked towards the figure.
“Hugo…”
Excited anticipation filled her voice as she reached out carefully towards the person. But in the next moment, her hand froze in midair and the smile on her face turned into a grimace.
“How come it’s you, Hugo?”
Steffie looked anxiously behind her at the assistant, but she couldn’t see anyone familiar.
The assistant looked at her expressionlessly and said, “Ms. Guenet, the

president has already explained everything to you.”
“Since you enjoy tormenting children so much, you don’t need to raise this child anymore.”

This is exactly what Hugo said to Hugo when the assistant was about to leave.
Steffie’s expression changed suddenly, and she couldn’t help but hold the child in her arms tightly. “What do you mean?”
The next moment, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from behind Steffie. She turned around and saw her half–sister walking towards her. Before she could react, her sister snatched the child from her
arms.
“Since you can’t take care of this child, then let me take over in the future. It just so happens that I can’t get expecting. Don’t worry, from now on she will be my own daughter.”
“No, don’t!”
Steffie’s face turned fearful as she went crazy trying to snatch back her child, but she was ultimately knocked unconscious by the bodyguard brought by her sister and dragged out.
“Please tell your president that we have taken the person away and she will not come back in the future. Congratulations to Mr. Bernard on the land in the north of the city.”
Exchanging a piece of land for a child was an extremely profitable deal for both parties.
This could also be considered Hugo’s final act of kindness towards the child.
