Only after Monte left did Hugo only dial Catherine’s number. “Miss Jones, the fish has taken the bait.”
“That’s good. Thank you, Young Master Jeffs.”
“No worries. It’s my honor to be able to work with you.” Hugo did not forget about his father calling him
last night, saying that they had successfully achieved a partnership with the Costner family. His father
was so ecstatic that he even showered Hugo with praises.
Hugo had not been praised like that by his father for a long time.
“Don’t say that. The entertainment activities in Neah Bay and Newcastle are similar, so having a
partnership will only make our businesses grow bigger,” Catherine said and smiled. “We’ll still be
counting on you after this.”
“It’s fine. Once Monte starts his operation, I’ll hand you the related information.
When that time comes, you guys will be the ones to report it to the police.”
“Thank you.”
After the call ended, Hugo lit a cigarette in a good mood.
He did not expect that coming to Canberra would get him such surprising gains.
Although he had known Monte for many years, they were not exactly good friends.
At first, Monte offered many benefits to him, and he was hesitating whether to work with the Patterson
family or not. Unexpectedly, he got acquainted with Catherine and the others through Monte.
Hah!
What was more surprising to him was how close Catherine and Eliza were to each other. Then, through
Catherine, he found out that Eliza was Jewell Corporation’s shareholder and that Eliza was the famous
Reborn.
The people of Australia were probably not familiar with the name Reborn. However, that name was
well-known to those who had studied abroad in the US.
Thinking back, Hugo found Monte pretty ridiculous to have given up on a girlfriend like Reborn and
chose the daughter of the Tanner family, who only knew how to spend money lavishly.
