Unwanted Goods Chapter 5
Hugo snapped back to reality, instinctively nodding his head."I didn't think Katherine was the type to pull something like this. Turns out I was wrong about her. Using such a cheap trick is beneath her."We'll continue the ceremony. Ignore her."With that, he slid the ring onto Sophia's finger.Then, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead.Sophia beamed and asked, "Hugo, are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?"Hugo instinctively wanted to correct her—after all, he had only promised to give Sophia a wedding ceremony and nothing more.Spending a lifetime together was never part of the deal.He had always planned to share forever with Katherine, but when the words reached his lips, he changed them. "I do."Thunderous applause filled the hall, yet Hugo felt an inexplicable emptiness inside.His gaze swept across the crowd, searching for a familiar figure, as if waiting for someone to jump out and tell him this was all a joke.But he found nothing

The sticky note slipped from Hugo's fingers.He immediately picked up his phone and called the bodyguard from earlier. The moment the call connected, he asked impatiently, "Regarding that letter you found, are you sure Katherine wrote it? Where did she go?"The bodyguard replied, "Mr. Laurent, it's real. I checked the surveillance footage—Ms. Blake left it at the entrance and then walked away."The letter said she was breaking up with you and returning overseas. That's why I asked if you wanted to go after her."But since your heart is now with Ms. Mendes, it doesn't really matter—""Shut up! What the hell do you know?" Hugo snapped."Find out which flight Katherine took, right now! I need to go after her!"He hurriedly grabbed his coat and rushed toward the door.But before he could leave, Sophia stirred awake, groggily stumbling after him.She grabbed onto his arm, pressing herself against him as she mumbled, "Hugo, shouldn't we spend our wedding night together?"Hugo shove

Hugo choked on his words, staring at me in disbelief.He didn't understand why I was treating him like this, but this was exactly how he had treated me before.I thought he would get the message and back off.Yet, to my surprise, he didn't leave.In fact, he clung to me even more persistently than when he first chased after me.I let out a sigh. "As expected. What you can't have is what you want the most. Once you have it, you stop treasuring it, don't you?"Hugo froze. "What?"When he finally processed what I meant, his expression darkened."Katherine, how could you think that? When have I ever not cherished you?"Haven't I been good enough to you? Tell me, what have I not given you? Where have I not taken you? Just because I stayed by Sophia's side for a few days, you have to blow it out of proportion like this?"I didn't answer his question.Instead, I shrugged, smiling faintly. "If that's what you think, then there's nothing I can do about it. How about this—I'll agree t

"The moment I leave, you're already with someone else? Were you cheating on me the whole time? Otherwise, how could you move so quickly?" Hugo snapped."That's none of your business," I replied calmly."But remember this—I'll be with anyone, just never with you."With that, I hung up, leaving Hugo screaming hysterically on the other end.Maybe that post really did cut deep.For a long time, he disappeared from my world.Meanwhile, I focused entirely on my research, publishing a paper in a top-tier journal and winning an academic achievement award.When Professor Harrington found out, he patted my shoulder with deep satisfaction."Kath, I always knew you had potential. You were born for academia. When you left to get married, I was devastated but powerless to stop you. I'm just glad you're back."I didn't say anything. I just smiled and nodded in agreement.That year, at the university's graduation ceremony, I was naturally selected to give the keynote speech as the outstandin

"Katherine Blake, can't you just sign the surgery consent form yourself? Do you really need to call me so many times for this?"Just because Sophia got hurt, does that mean you had to go and break your own bones too? I'm exhausted enough as it is—stop adding to my troubles, will you?"Hugo Laurent's voice came through the phone, carrying an unmistakable hint of irritation and impatience.Since Sophia Mendes had caused a scene at our wedding, he had disappeared with her for half a day.This was my 20th call to him. The first 19 had all been declined without exception.His cold tone made me pause for a moment before I said softly, "Sophia pushed me."Dr. Beckett says a family member has to sign the consent form. You're already at the hospital—could you really not take just a few minutes to come and do it?"But all I got in response was the sharp sound of the call being cut off.I had expected as much, so I simply sighed. "Bring me the consent form. I'll sign it myself."Adrian h

My hand was yanked violently, causing the IV needle to stab deeper into my skin, sending a sharp pain through me.But I didn't answer him right away. Instead, I asked, "Why do you want my ring?"That ring was something I had painstakingly designed myself. It had taken me months to handcraft it. It was a symbol of our lifelong commitment."Sophia likes it," Hugo said casually. "She wants us to have matching couple rings. You should just give it to her. It's just a worthless piece of junk anyway. There are barely any diamonds. It's not worth much."As he spoke, his gaze landed on the ring sitting at the corner of the table. Without hesitation, he picked it up and turned to leave.I tried to grab it back, nearly forgetting that my leg was still immobile.But I still clung to the ring with all my strength, refusing to let go. "Give it back!"Hugo looked at me with nothing but disappointment. "Katherine, I remember you used to be so generous. How did you become like this? Why are you

When Hugo turned to look at me, his expression changed drastically. "What are you doing here? I don't think Mom invited you today!"Before I could respond, he grabbed my arm and started pulling me outside.I was still on crutches from my fracture, and his force nearly made me fall. Struggling to shake him off, I said, "Let go of me—I can walk on my own."His voice turned cold. "Katherine, I don't know why you decided to show up today, but no one invited you to Mom's birthday celebration."If you came here just to assert your claim or steal Sophia's spotlight, you're not welcome here."I was caught off guard by his words, stunned. "What are you talking about? You were the one who told me to come."Hugo froze, and a flicker of guilt flashed across his face."I don't remember that. Who knows if you're just making that up?"Victoria followed us out and spoke to me gently. "Kath, Sophia hasn't been in a great mood lately, so I asked Hugo to bring her over for a meal. Would you mind

After stepping out of the taxi, I walked into the airport.I unlocked my phone and saw a message from Isabelle. She told me that Professor Harrington was willing to hold my previous position for me.I let out a sigh of relief and immediately replied that I would report in tomorrow.After everything, I had come full circle. It all felt like a futile dream.No one would have expected things to turn out like this.After all, from the moment Hugo fell for me at 15, he had never hidden his feelings.Everyone around us could see how madly in love he was, often saying, "Hugo is rich, good-looking, and completely devoted to you. Why not just say yes?"But back then, I was completely clueless. I was nothing but a bookworm.I had set ambitious goals for myself, and I was determined not to let anything stand in my way.No one could stop my progress, and certainly, no one could make me give up my future.So, I treated Hugo as if he were invisible.Whenever he tried to chat with me or sh
