Chapter 57 Don’t mess with programmers.

By the time Scarlett Adler came downstairs after taking a shower, she was tagged by her coworkers in thepany group chat!
There were hundreds of messages, as if the group had exploded.
She opened the news to see that the Hodges Family Group was making a grand gesture of love, gifting a Rolls Royce Phantom.
There were many photos from the scene, each one super clear, especially the bright red sports car, which
stood out prominently.
Fortunately, every photo avoided showing Scarlett’s face.
Below, thements were going wild. “This reporter deserves a bad review; they only took pictures of the
silhouette, probably on purpose?”
“Are we sure it’s not a film crew shooting a scene? Look at the female lead’s outfit and aura; she’s definitely a
star!”
“Upstairs, didn’t you see there are no cameras or studios around? How could it be filming? But I must say, she
really has an amazing presence.”
“Taking pictures of the silhouette but not the face, could she be a ‘back view killer’?”
“Emo emo… I really want to know what the female lead looks like. Does anyone know? Please~~~~~~”
“Does anyone know where the female lead bought this dress? It’s so pretty!!”
Below the post, the discussion was all about Scarlett, overshadowing the sports car.
Even so, Scarlett frowned in displeasure.
Looking at the time, the news had been circting for a while.
“Who took the pictures?” she asked.
“I don’t know, but it was obviously taken from a distance. Ms. Adler, if this keeps up, your richdy status might be in jeopardy,” someone joked in the group.
“I really want to paste Ms. Adler’s face on it to shut those haters up. Ms. Adler, is that okay?” someone
tagged her.
“Go ahead,” Scarlett Adler replied simply.
The person immediately posted a “shut up” meme.
At that moment, Scarlett Adler, who was drying her hair, tossed the towel aside, walked over to theputer, turned it on, and did some quick operations. When the webpage was refreshed, the news was gone.
Someone in the group noticed this and asked, “Did anyone do something? Why can’t I see the news

anymore?”
Then everyone collectively refreshed, and indeed, no one could see it.

Someone then tagged Scarlett Adler again, “Ms. Adler, was that you? You can’t just abuse your programmer skills to stop us from enjoying the gossip, can you?”
“It’s better not to look at untrue and false information. It’s misleading!” Scarlett Adler said before shutting
down theputer.
“It really was you!”
“Aaaah!”
The group went wild.
They finally came to the conclusion: it’s best to avoid programmers when ites to gossip!

Even though the news was being suppressed quickly, basically everyone who was supposed to see it, and
those who weren’t, had already seen it.
First, Second, and Fourth gathered together, staring at their phones.
“Did Hugo Hodges give her the cars?” Second asked.
First frowned slightly. “Scarlett said she bought them.”
“Then how do you exin this news?” Second asked. “It’s exactly the same, and it happened on the same day. It can’t all be made up, right?”
First was silent.
Fourth said, “Could it be that Scarlett is afraid of us finding out, so she’s saying that on purpose?”
“Scarlett doesn’t lie,” First replied.
“Then… did Scarlett buy them from Hugo Hodges?” Second analyzed.
The three of them fell into thoughtful silence.
“It must be that Uncle wanted to woo Mommy, but Mommy didn’t agree, so he gave her the cars, and in the end, Mommy generously gave him the money,” Fourth imagined.
Both of them gave Fourth a thumbs up for his imagination.
“But doesn’t Hugo Hodges have a girlfriend?” Second asked.
The three of them were silent again. Finally, First said, “What a jerk.”
Fourth seemed a little unhappy. “It shouldn’t be like that. I’ve seen that woman. They don’t seem very close.
It’s probably fake. And that woman is just average-looking, not even close to Scarlett!”
“Are you sure?”

“Judging by this, the fact that the old man is our daddy is pretty much confirmed.”
Speaking of which, Second looked at First. “Any news from Kun?”
“He should be on a mission these days, can’t be reached. The results should be out, but we just can’t contact
him.”
Second frowned. “Does he have to drag out the suspense like this? It wasn’t a big deal to begin with, but now
he’s made me a little nervous.”

Just as the three were whispering to each other, Scarlett Adler came out of her room.
The three quickly scattered.
Scarlett Adler scanned the three of them. “What are you plotting again?”
First and Second instinctively remained silent, pushing Fourth forward.
Fourth chuckled. “Mommy, I just saw a news story that looks a lot like you.”
Scarlett Adler was taken aback. She had acted so quickly, yet they still saw it.
“Specifically, it’s you,” Fourth said. “After all, not everyone can be as naturally beautiful as you are.”
Scarlett Adler was pleased to hear that. “And then?”
“Was the car a gift from a suitor?” Fourth asked, raising an eyebrow. That was the key question.

Scarlett Adler knew what they were after and shook her head firmly. “If I had a suitor, wouldn’t I tell you?”
“But the car…”
“It was a gift from Grandpa Ye’s friend. He treats me like his own granddaughter, but Mommy didn’t want it for free, so I paid for it!” Scarlett Adler exined.
Grandpa Ye’s friend, that would be Hugo Hodges’ grandfather.
Scarlett Adler was being so subtle, Second thought, mentally rolling his eyes.
Fourth nodded earnestly. “I see. Mommy, Grandpa’s friend must be very rich to be so generous!”
Scarlett Adler smiled. “He is quite wealthy.”
“Can I meet him?”
“Uh…” Scarlett Adler hesitated, unsure how to respond.
Meanwhile, Second was trying hard to suppress hisughter. Fourth was doing a great job, acting innocent
while hitting all the right spots with every question.
“Can’t I meet him? If he’s so good to Mommy, he must be like Grandpa. I want to meet him too. Maybe I’ll have
another person who loves me,” Fourth asked pitifully.
“Maybe someday. Mommy will take you to meet him when there’s a chance,” Scarlett Adler said with an
awkward smile.
“Really?”
Scarlett nodded perfunctorily. “Yes, really.”
“Mommy is the best.”
Scarlett Adler, standing to the side, suppressed the urge to explode.
Looking at First and Second standing nearby, she asked, “What? Do you two have something else?”

The two little ones shook their heads. “No.”
“If you don’t, hurry up and go help Grandpa cook.”
Upon hearing this, First immediately turned to help. Second, however, pointed at Fourth unwillingly and
asked, “What about her?”
“She’s so cute. It’s fine for her to sit and keep mepany,” Scarlett Adler said.
Second, “……Mommy, you favor girls over boys!”
“Do you have a problem with that?”
Second swallowed hisint, puffing out his cheeks. “No.” After saying that, he turned and left, not
forgetting to moan, “In this house, the disparity between the status of boys and girls is just too great!!”
Fourth snuggled obediently into Scarlett Adler’s arms, wearing a look of pity. “You shouldn’t be too jealous,
big brother. After all, someone as cute as me should be cherished by all of you.”
