Hugo’s plan failed

Hugo shot Oliver a murderous glare, but inside, he stayed calm. He had already sent Megan away. His daughter was safe. No one would lay a hand on her. And any minute now, his backup would storm in and flip this whole standoff on its head.

That thought steadied him. But then he saw Oliver's smug grin and felt his temper flare.

"Oliver," Hugo growled through clenched teeth, "can't you just shut up for once? Do you have to drag my family into this now?"

Oliver's face twisted with rage. "After everything you did to me, I hope your whole damn bloodline burns."

"Stop shouting at each other." Before Hugo could respond, Gustave's voice cut through the room like a whip. "I'm not here for your pathetic drama." His eyes locked on Hugo. "I'm here to make sure the guilty finally pay."

He reached behind his back and pulled a revolver, leveling it at Hugo's head.
