Chapter 52 What a waste!


    Hugo Hodges returned to the office, his face not looking good.


    Seeing this, Henry Fallon asked, “Boss, are you alright?”


    Hugo Hodges replied with a dark expression, “What could be wrong?”


    Seeing this, it was clear that he had argued with Scarlett Adler.


    After thinking for a moment, Henry Fallon cautiously asked, “Boss, is Ms. Adler really your ex-wife?”


    He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.


    Hugo Hodges lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded.


    Upon receiving the answer, Henry Fallon immediately stepped forward, “Boss, if I may say so, this is your fault. With Ms. Adler’s looks, her aura, her charm… how could you not appreciate her?”


    Hugo Hodges was speechless.


    “Yes, you are outstanding, powerful, and a dragon among men, but Ms. Adler is not bad either. It’s no exaggeration to call her a goddess. Boss, aren’t you being too wasteful?” Henry Fallon couldn’t help but say.


    Hugo Hodges narrowed his eyes, “So?”


    Henry Fallon had been speaking too smoothly, and upon hearing Hugo Hodges’s gritted voice, he immediately changed his tune, “What I mean is, you and Ms. Adler are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful


    woman!”


    Hugo Hodges, who had been about to explode with anger, was inexplicably less angry after hearing those


    words.


    “Really?” he asked, raising an eyebrow and pretending to be nonchnt.


    “Of course!” Henry Fallon nodded repeatedly in agreement. “If you two were together, the kids you’d have would definitely be world-famous! It’s hard to even imagine!”


    Speaking of that, Hugo thought of the twins again.


    His heart was filled with regret.


    If he hadn’t been so unreasonable back then, would those two kids be all grown up now?


    If he had given each other a chance back then, would things be different now?


    “Boss, if you ask me, girls aren’t really angry when they’re upset. They just want you tofort them,” Henry Fallon continued, offering advice. You had to give it to him, he knew how to butter people up. Hugo was actually not angry anymore.


    His thoughts were pulled back, and he even started chatting idly with him. “How do youfort them?”

    “You don’t even know that?” Henry Fallon asked in surprise, but after looking at Hugo’s face, he immediately understood. He nodded, “Right, most of the time, girls are the onesforting you. They wouldn’t dare to be


    angry with you!”


    Which just went to show how ungrateful Scarlett Adler was!


    Hugo Hodges thought to himself.


    At that moment, Henry Fallon, getting more excited, leaned over Hugo’s desk and beckoned with his finger. “Boss, it’s like this: a woman who dares to get angry with you probably isn’t after your money. Those kinds of people are more genuine. I think Ms. Adler is pretty genuine, not pretentious at all.”


    Scarlett Adler had done more than just get angry with him; although he had pushed for the divorce, it was


    Scarlett who had brought it up.


    And she really hadn’t asked for anything.


    “So, what should I do?”


    Henry Fallon thought seriously for a moment and said, “It looksplicated, but it’s not really. It just takes sincerity. You have to use sincerity to win her over.”


    “Sincerity?”


    “Someone who isn’t after money or power just likes you for who you are. As long as you’re sincere, there’s a hundred percent chance it’ll work!” Henry Fallon said.


    “How do I use sincerity?” Hugo asked.


    “That’s up to you. Like, what does she like to eat, watch, do, what does she care about, etc.? All those little details show a man’s effort!” Henry Fallon exined.


    Hugo Hodges thought seriously for a moment, realizing he knew nothing about Scarlett Adler.


    Seeing Hugo’s confusion, Henry Fallon asked, “Boss, you don’t even know about this?” His expression was


    one of disbelief.


    Catching the signal, Hugo’s eyes changed, “Yeah, so what if I don’t know?” he said, looking at his desk.


    Henry suddenly realized he had gotten too carried away and overstepped his boundaries. He quickly took a step back with a sheepish smile, “I got excited, just got too excited!”


    “Looks like you think your job is too easy and want a change,” Hugo said.


    “No, no, boss, I’ll get to work right away, I’m leaving now!” Henry said, turning to leave before Hugo could say anything else.


    But as he opened the door, Tiana Young was about to enter, and they bumped into each other.


    “Manager Young!” Henry greeted.


    “Is Hugo inside?” Tiana asked.

    Henry nced at Hugo and nodded, “Yes…”


    Tiana Young walked inside.

    Henry Fallon watched her go, inwardly sighing. Sometimes, having too much luck with romance can be quite a troublesome thing!


    With that thought, Henry Fallon closed the door behind her and walked away, shaking his head in resignation.


    Inside the office, Tiana Young had a whole speech prepared, but the moment she saw Hugo Hodges, she felt that anything she said would seem too deliberate.


    Hugo Hodges spoke first. “What brings you back?”


    Tiana Young walked over and sat across from him. “I was worried about thepany and wanted to check


    in.”


    “Just have fun and don’t overthink things,” Hugo Hodges said.


    Tiana Young looked at him, her lips moving as if to speak, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to directly ask about Scarlett Adler.


    After a moment, she said, “Oh, by the way, Hugo, did you hear that Kane Jennings from Keyue was arrested?”


    Hugo Hodges, who was looking down at his documents, nodded almost imperceptibly after hearing this. “Yes, I know.”


    “Why do you think that happened? Why would he be arrested out of the blue?” Tiana Young asked tentatively, her eyes fixed on Hugo Hodges.


    “What goes aroundes around. It’s not that retribution won’te, it’s just a matter of time,” Hugo Hodges said, then looked up. “Perhaps, the time hase.”


    Tiana Young was silent for a few seconds.


    She couldn’t extract any useful information from Hugo’s words.


    Then she smiled. “Yes, someone like Kane Jennings was bound to get caught sooner orter.”


    Hugozily raised an eyebrow, indicating his agreement.


    Tiana looked at him, feeling inexplicably frustrated, but she still asked, “By the way, what did Ms. Adler want when she came to see you? Her hand looked injured. Is everything alright?”


    “Just some personal matters,” Hugo said casually, then frowned slightly. “The injury shouldn’t be too serious.”


    From Hugo’s expression, there was no sign that he cared about Scarlett Adler, and he seemedpletely


    unaware that she was injured.


    But when Tiana thought of the way Hugo had looked at Scarlett Adler that day, she felt even more that Hugo was deliberately hiding something.

    “Hugo, are you and Ms. Adler… getting back together?” Tiana couldn’t help but ask.


    She needed to get this cleared up.


    She desperately wanted to know.


    Remarry?


    Hugo Hodges paused upon hearing those words; he hadn’t really thought about it.


    However, seeing Scarlett Adler’s repeated attempts to distance herself from him, Hugo Hodges said, “She probably hates me now.”


    “What about you?” Tiana Young asked. “Didn’t you say you hated her too after losing the child?”


    Hugo Hodges fell silent.
