Chapter 56 Did you rob a bank?
Scarlett Adler sat at her desk, rubbing her temples.
Just then, Manager Yan appeared beside her. “Ms. Adler, I need to talk to you.”
Scarlett looked at Manager Yan and stood up to follow him.
Every day was filled with these kinds of things.
Inside the office, Manager Yan looked at Scarlett and began with a sincere apology. “Ms. Adler…”
“Please, just call me Scarlett. I’m used to it!” Scarlett interrupted.
Manager Yan looked at her awkwardly and smiled. “Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony. Scarlett, about what happened the other day, it was indeed my fault for not arranging things properly. I didn’t know the contact person had suddenly changed. But regardless, it was wrong of me not to warn you about Kane Jennings’s character. I’m really grateful that you didn’t hold it against me and helped me plead with Mr.
Hodges.”
Listening to Manager Yan’s earnest apology, Scarlett looked at him. “Are you done?”
.”Uh…”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back,” Scarlett said. Her head was really starting to hurt, and she still didn’t
know how to deal with the car situation.
Manager Yan watched her leave. “You… is there nothing you want to say…?”
Before he could finish, Scarlett Adler had already walked out.
Manager Yan was speechless.
He had apologized and thanked her so sincerely, but Scarlett Adler didn’t seem to care at all.
So cool and aloof!
However, seeing Scarlett Adler as her usual self, Manager Yan was relieved. He had been worried that
Scarlett Adler might resign because of this, but it seemed that wasn’t going to happen!
Thinking of this, Manager Yan took a deep breath, wondering how he could cozy up to her in the future!
Scarlett Adler sat in her chair, pondering for a long time before sending a message to Hugo Hodges.
“Two choices: either take the car away, or I’ll give you the money.”
A message came back quickly: “Wouldn’t taking your money make it seem like I’m forcing a sale?”
“So your choice is to take the car away?”
“I didn’t buy the car. and I didn’t spend the money. Go give it to the old man ” Huan Hodges replied, washing

his hands of the matter.
Scarlett Adler was speechless.
With just a few words, they were back to square one.
If she could give it to Mr. Adler, Scarlett wouldn’t have to bother with Hugo.

Scarlett thought for a moment, realizing that these were the only two solutions, whether he epted them or
not.
S
She stopped replying to Hugo’s messages, opened herputer, and after a few minutes of work, sent another message to Hugo.
“I’ve transferred the money to you. Please check your ount.” With that, she put away her phone.
It wasn’t that Scarlett was being difficult, but during the divorce, she didn’t want anything from Hugo, just so he wouldn’t use the money as an excuse when he found out about their three children.
It was the same now.
As she approached the end of her workday, Scarlett looked at the car parked outside.
Honestly, the choice of car was… shy.
Bright red, only someone like Hugo would choose that color.
Although she didn’t particrly like it, Scarlett reluctantly epted it.
Driving the car was really eye-catching.
Scarlett could feel countless people turning to look at her, a testament to the allure of money.
However, she was used to being low-key and wasn’t reallyfortable with all this attention.
And it wasn’t that she couldn’t afford a car all these years, but Scarlett Adler simply loved sleeping in cars.
Now, she had to drive herself!
Thinking about this, Scarlett Adler cursed Hugo Hodges in her mind.
Driving felt a bit rusty, but thankfully she hadn’t forgotten how. She drove back smoothly.
However, as soon as she arrived downstairs, she ran into her three kids.
“Whoa!” Second Adler eximed, “A Phantom? When did our apartmentplex get such a fancy car?”
Just as he finished speaking, Scarlett Adler got out of the car and saw the three of them. “Why are you guys back so early today?”
Seeing Scarlett Adler, Second blinked his eyes.
First and Fourth also stared at her in surprise.
“Scarlett, did you rob a bank?” Second asked in astonishment.

Scarlett Adler rolled her eyes at him. “Does your mommy look that poor to you?”
“True, but don’t you hate driving? Why did you suddenly decide to buy a car?” Second asked, then walked towards the car with shining eyes. He had liked this car for a long time, but Scarlett Adler…
He had only bought him a model toy, but now with the real car in front of him, Second was practically
drooling.

Scarlett Adler didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t exactly say that Hugo Hodges had forced the purchase. After thinking for a moment, she said, “I was thinking of getting your grandfather a new car.”
William Adler, standing behind her, was surprised at first. After hearing her exnation, he still seemed
unconvinced.
“But is bright red suitable for Grandpa to drive?” Second asked, his words hitting the nail on the head.
Scarlett Adler was toozy to exin. “You talk too much. Why isn’t red suitable? Isn’t it… vibrant?”
Second obediently shut his mouth and circled the car several times. “Scarlett, can I open the door and sit
inside?”
“It’s not locked.”
Second quickly got into the car, sitting inside and not even daring to touch anything.
Fourth had also quietly climbed into the car at some point. “It really is different. It’s just… extremely
enjoyable!”
“Scarlett, can Grandpa drive this car to take me to school tomorrow?” Fourth asked excitedly, poking his head
out.
“I’d send you to the moon if I could!”
Fourth said, “…Thank you, Scarlett.”
First, trying to remain calm, walked around the car, looking it over. “Scarlett, how much did this cost?”
“Uh, around ten million or so.”
“Around?”
Scarlett Adler wasn’t exactly sure; she had checked the market price, but she had already forgotten.
“Ah, I forgot the exact amount!” Scarlett Adler said.
Her absent-mindedness was very typical of Scarlett Adler.
First nodded calmly. “Well, this expense could keep our family going for a long time.”
Scarlett Adler was speechless.
Why did he make it sound like she was a spendthrift?
At that moment, William Adler walked up and asked her, “Girl, why did you suddenly buy such an expensive

car?”
Scarlett Adler knew this was hard to exin. Since she had already paid for it, she didn’t say much, just smiled and said, “After working hard for so many years, I just wanted to splurge a little.”
William Adler looked at her. “But isn’t this a bit too extravagant?”
Scarlett Adler thought for a moment and said, “I’ll have to be more frugal from now on.”
“Girl…”

“But don’t worry, Grandpa. I also do some programming for some foreign friends. They’re very generous and pay well. We won’t have to worry about food and clothing,” Scarlett Adler said.
“And this money is clean, you can absolutely trust it,” Scarlett Adler said.
Even with Scarlett’s repeated assurances, William Adler didn’t know what else to say.
“Alright, Grandpa, a car isn’t going to break your granddaughter,” she said, watching the three little ones having a st in the car. Scarlett had no other concerns. “Grandpa, I’ll leave things here with you. I’m going
upstairs.”
With that, she handed the keys to William and headed straight upstairs.
