Jeffrey Hughes looked at her eyes and knew that she understood his meaning. His sister was indeed very smart, much better than the idiot Lisa Hughes, who didn't need explicit words to understand. "Well, I'll take my leave now," he said.
Xaviera Evans also found it easy to talk with him, nodding slightly. "Sam, please see Mr. Hughes out," she said.
After Jeffrey Hughes left, Caleb Mamet spoke up, "The Hughes family is planning to make a move on you."
"Mr. Hughes came to test me on the surface as obeying the orders of his elders, but in fact, he was reminding me to be careful of the Hughes family. It seems that Ruby Russell has heard the rumor and wants my blood!"
It was only logical for Ruby Russell to hate her, so why would she encourage her to return to the Imperial City to the Hughes family? There must be a profit to be made, and the only thing on her body that Ruby Russell might be interested in was probably her blood!
