    Chapter 47 Don’t let me down.


    In the living room, Scarlett Adler was being waited on hand and foot.


    The three little ones were so thoughtful and attentive.


    They didn’t ask Scarlett how she got hurt, which must have been William’s doing, but Scarlett didn’t ask how


    he exined it.


    Just seeing how adorable and sensible the three kids were filled Scarlett’s heart with contentment.


    Sometimes she said it didn’t matter if Hugo Hodges found out about them, but deep down she selfishly


    hoped that Hugo would never discover them ore to take them away from her.


    She knew how persistent and eager Hugo was, and if he found out, it would definitely be a “battle.”


    Thinking about this, Scarlett looked at Fourth, who was snuggled beside her. “Fourth.”


    “Yes?”


    “Do you want a daddy?”


    Fourth paused, looking at Scarlett. “Is Mommy going to find us a daddy?”


    “I was just wondering, what if your daddyes looking for you and wants you toe home with him?


    What would you do?”


    “Wherever Mommy is, that’s where I’ll be.” Before Fourth could even answer, First said firmly from the side.


    First rarely showed his emotions, but when it came to standing up for Scarlett, he was always clear. Scarlett


    knew he loved her.


    He wasn’t as affectionate as Fourth, so Scarlett rarely showed him affection.


    But today, Scarlett couldn’t resist. She leaned in and kissed him on the forehead. “You’re a good son, First.”


    To her surprise, First blushed and smiled at Scarlett.


    “Mommy, me too! No matter how good Daddy is, I could never leave you!” Fourth said, snuggling up and


    asking for a kiss and some love.


    “Okay, okay, you’re a good daughter too.”


    “If I don’t say something now, I’ll feel left out,” Second said, joining in. “Mommy, don’t worry. Even if Daddy


    tries to tempt me with millions, I will never give in. If I do, it’s only because I want to give you the money. I’ll


    alwayse back to you!”


    Second’s expressions were always unique.


    “Are you sure your dad has millions?” Scarlett asked, even though Hugo Hodges really did.


    “Wasn’t I using a metaphor? It better highlights my deep love for you,” Second said with a smile.

    Scarlett Adlerughed as well. “Yes, I feel your deep love, and I love you too.” After saying that, she gave him


    a kiss.


    The three little ones beside them were smiling like flowers.


    William Adler, who was watching, smiled with relief. Although Scarlett had lost a rtionship, having these three children by her side made it all worthwhile.


    Even if he closed his eyes one day, he would be at peace!


    After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.


    After the lights were turned off, Second and Fourth quietly sneaked into First’s room.


    First was at theputer, quickly operating it.


    Second watched from the side, “If Mommy finds out, we’re dead.”


    “There must be another reason why Mommy was injured,” First said. “I have to know.”


    Fourth also lowered his voice, “I went to Mommy’s room just now, and she’s already asleep. She shouldn’t


    know.”


    First didn’t say anything, his hands quickly typing on theputer.


    Using facial recognition based on the time period, he finally found several video clips.


    “I found it,” First said.


    Second and Fourth immediately crowded around. “Three clips, none of them are long,” First said, before ying the videos.


    The first clip showed Scarlett Adler arriving at the entrance of Hot Spring Hotel in a taxi, where someone was waiting to receive her.


    The second clip showed a man in the hallway of Hot Spring Hotel, helping Scarlett Adler into a room.


    The third clip showed Hugo Hodges carrying Scarlett Adler out of the room, and it was clear that Scarlett Adler had been injured.


    Although the three clips were short, they all urred within the same time frame, so it wasn’t hard to guess what had happened when viewed together.


    First watched, his eyes turning red.


    That damned man dared to bully his mommy!


    “Bro, find this man’s information. We can’t let him get away with this!” Second said.


    Just as First was about to start, Fourth said, “No need.”


    Both of them looked at her.

    “I saw it on the news today. This person has already been arrested.” As she spoke, Fourth pulled out her phone and found the news about Kane Jennings’ arrest.


    The brothers carefully read through it.


    “Is it a coincidence?” Second asked.


    First Adler shook his head. “No.”


    “Could it be Dad… I mean, Uncle?” Fourth asked, knowing First didn’t like that term. She quickly corrected herself, ncing at him cautiously.


    First remained silent.


    “Actually, he looked really nervous in the video. He’s so vengeful; he wouldn’t have waited until the next day to act. So… being able to get someone arrested the next day, it couldn’t have been anyone else but him, unless it’s just a coincidence,” Second Adler analyzed.


    Fourth nodded, agreeing.


    That’s what she thought too!


    Her intuition told her it had to be Hugo Hodges!


    Definitely!


    After all, he helped her when he saw her being bullied. If he really was her dad, he wouldn’t stand by and watch her mom being bullied either!


    First still didn’t say anything, lost in thought.


    Just then, Second Adler looked at theputer. “Did you guys watch the third video closely? Did Hugo Hodges hit someone?”


    “Did he?”


    “I think so!” Without waiting for First to speak, Second pulled up the third video, showing Hugo Hodges.


    Standing at the doorway, he watched him talking to someone, and then, in the next second, he kicked out with force.


    “Does it look like he kicked someone?” Second asked.


    “It does, it really does…” Fourth replied.


    First couldn’t resist taking a look at the video either.


    It was indeed true.


    “So, if he’s willing to hit someone for Mommy’s sake, he must have done it,” Fourth said, unable to hide the delight in his voice.


    “I think so too.”

    Watching the two of them discussing so excitedly, First simply shut theptop.


    “Alright, it’s gettingte, let’s sleep,” he said.


    Fourth and Second exchanged a nce and had no choice but to keep quiet.


    “Mommy’s revenge has been taken, so there’s nothing else to worry about. You should sleep early too,”


    Second said.


    First didn’t reply.


    The two of them left the room.


    After they were gone, First maintained hisposure andy down on the bed, but he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.


    Fourth and Second’s words kept reying in his mind.


    He didn’t want to admit it, but deep down, he also felt that Hugo Hodges had indeed done it, and he had done it beautifully.


    If he had been a zero in his eyes before, now, he wasn’t anymore!


    Unconsciously, a smile crept onto the corner of his lips.


    Hugo Hodges, I hope you don’t let me down!
