Chapter 31 The mischievous trio is up to no good.
Second Adler chimed in, “You heard right. I heard it too. It must be true.”
Only First Adler remained silent.
Both of them tagged him, “@First Adler, why aren’t you saying anything?”
“I was thinking, maybe we should check it out tomorrow?” First Adler finally said.
That one sentence took the conversation to another level.
“That’s just like you-silent until you drop a bomb,” Second Adlermented.
“So, are we going or not?” First Adler asked.
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
Missing out on the fun wasn’t in their nature.
“But before we go, we need to find out which hospital it is,” First Adler said. “Mom’s at home, so I can’t look it
up online.”
“That’s easy, leave it to me!” Fourth Adler said confidently. She could easily get the information with a little sweet-talking.
“Okay,” First Adler replied. “Then tomorrow after school, we meet up.”
“Alright.”
“Alright.”
The next day.
Fourth Adler woke up unusually early. Seeing William Adler busy in the kitchen, she went over and reached
out for a hug.
“Little sleepyhead, what are you doing up so early today?” William Adler asked with a smile.
“I smelled Grandpa’s cooking. What is that? It smells so good.” Fourth Adler looked at the soup simmering on
the stove, almost drooling.
“It’s soup. Do you want some?”
“Yes!” Fourth Adler nodded eagerly.
“You little glutton. Grandpa will save some for youter.”
“Thank you, Grandpa,” Fourth Adler said. “But Grandpa, why are you making soup so early in the morning?”
“A friend of mine is sick, so I’m going to visit them at the hospitalter.”
“Is it serious?” Fourth Adler asked.
“Not serious,” William Adler said with a smile.
“Then, which hospital is it?” Fourth asked.
“National…” William Adler answered casually.
Fourth Adler nodded thoughtfully. “Okay, Grandpa, you take care of yourself too.”
“Good girl, Grandpa knows,” William Adler said.
“I’m going to wash up now.” With that, Fourth Adler yawned as if she was still sleepy and walked towards her
room.
William Adler watched her leave, never suspecting that he had just been tricked by this seemingly harmless
little one.

As soon as Fourth Adler returned to her room and closed the door, she instantly sobered up. “National
General Hospital,” she said aloud.

Seeing no one responding in their group chat, Fourth sent another message, “I’m up early ying spy, and you guys are still sleeping!” Then she tagged the other two.
Second Adlerzily replied, “Well, you’re the best at this stuff, aren’t you? Great job, okay?”

“Fourth is amazing,” First Adler added.
Pleased with the praise, Fourth finally stopped, but seeing that it was still early, shezily climbed back into
bed and went back to sleep.
When Scarlett Adler woke up, no one was home. Scarlett took out her phone and texted William Adler, telling
him to take the kids to school and then go straight to the hospital.
Seeing the breakfast on the table, Scarlett went over and ate some, then packed her things and headed to
work.
As she arrived at the office, she saw Tiana Young walking out with the manager.
“Don’t worry, we definitely won’t let the Hodges Family Group down, and of course, we won’t let you down
either,” the manager said with a fawning smile, his face almost stiff from the effort.
Scarlett Adler had hoped to walk past unnoticed, but unfortunately, both the manager and Tiana Young
spotted her.
“Scarlett, you’re here? Come,e, perfect timing to discuss the uing arrangements,” the manager
called out to her.
Scarlett Adler had no choice but to walk over.
Tiana Young looked at her with a provocative and triumphant smile. “Ms. Adler, arriving at this hour… You don’t actually thinknding one project gives you the right to do as you please, do you?”

Scarlett Adler nced at the time. “Traffic. Five minuteste. But one might think Ms. Young practically lives
at ourpany, considering she’s already wrapped up business at this hour.”
Seemingly apliment, but actually a jab.
Watching their exchange, the manager started to sweat.

He couldn’t understand what Hugo Hodges was thinking, assigning these two to the same project.
He faked a cough and began, “Scarlett, here’s the thing. Ms. Young will now be the point of contact for the
Hodges Family Group. So, you two will likely be seeing and working with each other more often. Therefore,
you should…”
“Ms. Adler, you’re not too disappointed that I’m recing you, are you?” Tiana Young asked, looking at her
with a smile that suggested she had already crushed Scarlett Adler beneath her feet.
“Of course not,” Scarlett Adler said. “To me, anyone is the same.”
“I hope Ms. Adler isn’t just saying that.”
Scarlett Adler smiled slightly. “Ms. Young, what you seek is what I don’t want, so there’s no insincerity here.”
Tiana Young’s expression stiffened slightly. “Then, let’s hope for a good partnership in the future.”
“I doubt it will be pleasant, because it’s clear that Mr. Young isn’t happy whenever he sees me, and the feeling
is mutual. But don’t worry, I’ll be dutiful and responsible.” Without waiting for her to reply, Scarlett walked
directly toward the programming department.
Seeing her directly confront Tiana Young like that was truly eye-opening.
It was the peak of the workday, and Scarlett’s words were heard and seen by many people.
The manager’s forehead was covered in sweat, but he couldn’t afford to offend either of these powerful
women.
“Ms. Young, perhaps…”
Before the manager could say anything, Tiana Young looked at him and said, “Manager Yan, yourpany’s
employees reallyck manners.” With that, she left.
The manager was speechless.
It was the first time he had secured a project, yet he felt so conflicted and troubled!
Although no one knew what was going on between Scarlett Adler, Tiana Young, and Hugo Hodges, everyone
was surprised that Scarlett could silence Tiana and make her change color. She had the air of the main
partner.
Who would dare to provoke the Hodges Family Group?
Yet, Scarlett Adler dared to stand up to them.
Everyone couldn’t help but admire Scarlett even more. She managed to secure the project and silence her
opponent. They couldn’t help but wonder what Scarlett’s background was.
“Ms. Adler, did you really put Tiana Young in her ce earlier?” a colleague asked during work hours.
“No,” Scarlett replied.
“Everyone saw it. It’s already spreading.”
“I wasn’t putting her in her ce; I was just stating the facts.”
The colleague was speechless. “Do you think we’re all fools?”
“It’s an illusion, just an illusion.”
“Can I ask you a question in secret?”
“What’s the question?”
“What’s your story?” the colleague asked curiously.

“Me?” Scarlett blinked, then smiled and said, “I’m just an ordinary coder, aren’t I?”
“Dishonest.”
Scarlett thought for a moment, sighed meaningfully, and said seriously, “Alright, since you put it that way, I
won’t deny it. Actually, I’m just an ordinary, pretty coder.”

The colleague was speechless.
There was no way to continue the conversation that day.
