Swallowing His Pride

Under the compelling gaze of Hugo, all the Douglases did not dare to look at him as they hurriedly hung their heads low and chorused in unison, "Yes, Old Sir!"

"One more thing." Hugo looked at the white mourning fabric that hadn't been cleared away yet with a grief-stricken expression.

"Gordon and Brad have just been buried, so don't change the arrangements in the house too soon. Also, everyone in the family is forbidden from entertaining and socializing for the next one week, or else you will be disowned!" Hugo said austerely, making their hearts drop.

Having just lost his closest kin, it was only normal that Hugo wouldn't want to see them laughing and having a whale of a time. However, if they had to cease all entertainment activities, their entertainment joints would also have to close for a week, which would result in a huge loss!

Besides, the Douglases had just suffered an enormous loss, so this loss would be even more severe.
