Chapter 54 The old man visited the sick.


    The next day.


    The old man went to Rising Sun Tech early in the morning, full of energy, and brought so many health supplements with him.


    Everyone in the business world might not know Hugo Hodges, but no one didn’t know old man Hodges. He single-handedly built the Hodges Family Group and was known for his sharp and ruthless methods.


    Manager Yan had also returned to thepany. Before he even had time to thank Scarlett Adler, he heard that old man Hodges wasing and hurried downstairs to greet him.


    “Old Mr. Hodges, what brings you here? If there’s anything, you could have just sent a message through the people below,” Manager Yan asked cautiously. It was well known that old man Hodges had retired behind the scenes and handed over allpany matters to Hugo Hodges, but he still held considerable influence and weight in thepany.

    Old man Hodges looked at him and waved his hand. “It’s nothing. I’m here today for personal matters.”


    “Uh, is there anything I can help you with?”


    “No, you go ahead and do your work.” Old man Hodges waved his hand, clearly not taking it seriously.


    But how could Manager Yan dare to do that? With such an important figure here, how could he dare to do anything else? So he stayed by the old man’s side, attending to his needs.


    The old man went straight upstairs, found the programming department, and walked right in.


    Scarlett Adler was discussing a project with her colleagues when she heard someone call out from behind,


    “Scarlett.”


    Scarlett turned around, and the next moment, the old man rushed over to her. “Girl, let Grandpa see, where


    are you hurt?”


    “Um, Grandpa Hodges, what are you doing here?” Scarlett was still a bit confused.


    “Such a big thing happened to you, and that brat Hugo Hodges didn’t even tell me! If it weren’t for Old Adler, I


    wouldn’t have known. Come on, let Grandpa see, where are you hurt?” Grandpa Hodges asked, looking


    Scarlett up and down.


    “I’m fine, just a few scratches on my hand,” Scarlett said dismissively.


    Seeing Scarlett’s hand, Grandpa Hodges felt a pang of heartache. “How can you call these scratches? This… this needs proper rest. What did the doctor say?”


    “The doctor said it’s not serious, it will heal quickly.”


    The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Here, Grandpa brought you some supplements. Take them regrly and take good care of yourself!” As he said this, the old man turned around, and six or seven people

    behind him came up carrying things.


    Various expensive skincare products were ced next to Scarlett Adler.


    Just by looking at them, anyone could tell they were costly.


    Scarlett was stunned.


    Not to mention the entire programming department.


    Everyone was collectively silent, their eyes glued to the scene.


    Just who was this Scarlett Adler?

    To have the once-sensational Mr. Hodges personally step forward and call her “dear girl”… Could she be Hugo Hodges’ half-sister?


    Scarlett knew that if this continued, she would once again be in the spotlight.


    “Grandpa Hodges, I can’t use all of this, and I can’t even take it all back with me!” Scarlett said.


    The old man paused, “I didn’t think of that. Did you drive here? I’ll have someone take these things to your


    car.”


    “I don’t have a car!”


    Mr. Hodges frowned, “Then how do you get to and from work every day?”


    “I take a taxi.”


    The old man was even more unwilling. Without another word, he picked up his phone and made a call, “Hugo, have Henry Fallon go buy Scarlett a new car.”


    Scarlett Adler, “…???”


    The programming department, “…WTF????”


    Scarlett Adler hadn’t even had time to react when Grandpa Reed asked, “Scarlett, do you have a particr car


    you like?”


    “Grandpa Reed, I don’t need…”


    “Scarlett says she doesn’t, so just pick one out. No, she’s driven all the cars at home. Get her a new one, a good one, with high safety ratings,” the old man said.


    “I understand,” Hugo Hodges responded calmly on the other end of the phone.


    After hanging up, the old man looked at Scarlett Adler. “They’ll bring the car over in a bit. I’ll have someone put your things in it too!”


    Scarlett Adler took a deep breath. Faced with Grandpa Reed’s enthusiasm, she didn’t know what to say.


    She pulled out her phone and sent a message to Hugo Hodges: “I don’t need the car. I can handle things here with Grandpa Reed myself.”


    < Chapter 54 The old man visited the sick.


    There was no response from Hugo Hodges.

    Seeing everyone staring in astonishment, Scarlett Adler said, “Grandpa, there’s a coffee shop downstairs. Shall we go over there and chat?”


    Grandpa Reed nodded. “Alright.”


    “Manager, I…”


    Manager Yan finally snapped out of his daze from the previous scene and nodded repeatedly. “Go, go ahead!”


    Scarlett Adler then left with Grandpa Reed.


    As he turned, Grandpa Reed looked at everyone and greeted them with a smile, “Sorry to disturb your work, I’ll


    be leaving now.”

    Everyone thought, “How can such an adorable old man be so rich, powerful, and kind?!”


    Downstairs in the coffee shop, Scarlett Adler asked Grandpa Reed, “Grandpa Reed, how did you know I work


    here?”


    “Hugo Hodges told me,” Grandpa Reed replied, picking up his coffee to take a sip.


    Scarlett Adler wondered what Hugo Hodges was up to. With this kind of attention, she wouldn’t know how to handle things when she got back!


    “Grandpa Reed, could you call Hugo Hodges? I don’t need the car,” Scarlett Adler said.


    “Why wouldn’t you need it?” the old man asked. “There are so many peoplemuting every day, taking a taxi isn’t safe. It’s better to drive yourself!”


    “When I take a taxi, I can sleep in the car, but when I drive, I get tired!”


    The old man frowned. “I’ll have Hugo get you a driver as well!”


    Scarlett Adler, seeing that Grandpa Reed was about to make a call, said, “Grandpa Reed!”


    He was immediately stopped. “Grandpa Reed, what I mean is… it’s not appropriate to do this.”


    “What’s not appropriate?” the old man asked.


    “Grandpa, I’m divorced from Hugo Hodges, so I can’t ept these things!” Scarlett Adler said.


    Hearing this, Grandpa Reed frowned. “These things are for you, not from Hugo Hodges. I don’t need his money. Can’t you ept mine even if you don’t want his?”


    “Grandpa Reed, it’s essentially the same thing,” Scarlett Adler replied.


    Grandpa Reed was a little displeased. “So, because you divorced Hugo Hodges, you no longer acknowledge me as your Grandpa Reed?”


    “Of course not!” Scarlett Adler shook her head. She still remembered all the kindness the old man had shown


    her.

    “That’s settled then. This is just a small token of my affection. We’ll pretend Hugo Hodges doesn’t exist!” the


    old man said with a smile.


    Scarlett Adler hesitated. “Grandpa Reed, I know you’re good to me, but this could cause misunderstandings


    with Hugo Hodges’ girlfriend.”


    “Hugo Hodges’ girlfriend? Who is it?” the old man asked.


    “It’s Tiana Young, the one by his side!” Scarlett Adler said.


    Speaking of her, Grandpa Herb chuckled. “You mean that girl? Who told you she was Hugo’s girlfriend?”
