Chapter 643
Seeing this, Sophia set down the bag in her hand.
'Dad, mom's just worried about you. You've been working hard for many years, so she just wanted to buy you something nice,"
she said in a low voice.
"You call this being worried about me? You're spending my money to worry about me?"
At the mention of this, Albert's pent-up anger finally blew up. He continued, "She goes to the mall a few times every week. Does
she have that many things to buy? How many clothes, bags, and shoes do you all have in your closets? Yet you're still buying
more."
Hylda was fed up with his words. "Do you think I'm buying this many things because I'm vain? I'm only doing this because of you!
If I don't dress well and wear nice bags, how will I join the social circle of rich ladies? I'll only get the chance to bring you
business after I get acquainted with them!"
Albert did not appreciate her actions at all.
'This is my second marriage. Who in the circle doesn't know this? Those rich ladies in the social circles are all prideful. Even if
you were dressed in gold, they'd still look down on you! If you have the time to do that, why don't you spend more effort on
Hugo? That's much better than anything else." He paused.
He asked, "Where's Hugo?"
Hylda was initially enraged. However, she immediately panicked when she realized her son's disappearance.
"He was in the living room just now."
Albert's expression turned tense.
'Hurry up and find him," he said
The entire family searched for Hugo for a long time. In the end, they found him in the attic upstairs.
He was sitting on the floor and drawing something on a piece of paper.
Hylda breathed a sigh of relief and went up to him. "You brat. Why didn't you answer when we’ve been calling out your name..."
Hylda did not finish her sentence. She abruptly paled when she saw Hugo's drawing.
"Al-Albert, come here..."
Albert had just come upstairs. When he saw her nervous expression, he frowned. "What's the matter?" 'Quickly come over and
look!"
With a frown, Albert went up to them. When he saw what Hylda wanted him to see, he also turned ghostly pale.
His fingers trembled. There was an overturned car drawn on the paper. Not far from the car was a woman in a pool of blood who
was staring straight at him.
Hugo was really talented at drawing. While his drawing skills were not skilled, he depicted the characters' features well.
The woman on the ground wore a dark green dress. She had curly, permed hair and a mole below her left eyebrow. She was
depicted really clearly.
All of these were the characteristics of Rainee.
Albert's throat went dry.
He felt a chill run down his spine.
'Why'd Hugo draw such a drawing? He wasn't even born when the incident happened. How could he draw a thing when he had
never seen such things? Could it be the work of Rainee's ghost? Her spirit cannot rest?' he thought.
Albert trembled, and his face turned so pale it was almost transparent.
Hylda was the first to come back to her senses. She grabbed Hugo and asked, "Hugo, tell mommy. Who asked you to draw
this?"
Hugo shook his head.
"Then, why'd you think of drawing this?"
Hugo still shook his head.
'Nobody told you to draw this? Are you lying?"
Hylda was really restless, so she unconsciously raised the volume of her voice.
Hugo was frightened. He teared up and started crying.
'Why are you crying?! You're not answering any of my questions! Are you a mute?" "That's enough!" Albert said with a pale
expression.
He continued, "What's the use of picking on him? You're the one taking care of him. Don't you know who he interacts with?
Maybe... Maybe she came to him in a dream..." 'That's impossible!"
Hylda said in a shrill voice, "There's no such thing as ghosts. Somebody's definitely trying to mess with us!" she said as she
grabbed the drawing and started tearing it.
"She couldn't compete with me when she was alive, and she still can't when she's dead! Even if she's really turned into a ghost, I
can still kill her again!" she said.
She raised her hands, and the pieces of torn paper scattered all over the floor.
Albert choked up. For a while, he could not speak.
Stella was at Clouditude International when she got a call on her phone.
