    Scarlett Adler turned back to him. “What did you say?”


    “What answer are you looking for now?” Hugo Hodges asked, raising an eyebrow with azy tone.


    Scarlett frowned. “I don’t want any answers, Hugo Hodges. I just want you to stay away from me.”


    With that, she stood up to leave.


    Hugo quickly got up and, with a few strides, blocked her path.


    “I find that very strange. Why do you want me to stay away from you? Or are you worried about something?” Hugo countered.


    This man had such an arrogant expression.


    Scarlett looked up. “I’m worried you’re out of your mind.”


    Hugo was speechless.


    He didn’t say anything but showed his displeasure with his actions.


    He stepped forward, forcing Scarlett to step back.


    Until she had nowhere to retreat, and her back pressed against the table.


    She frowned in annoyance. “Move.”


    “No,” Hugo said.


    The only thing about this woman that hadn’t changed was her mouth, which was as feisty as ever.


    “Hugo Hodges, what do you want?” Scarlett asked.


    “I want to see you lose it!”


    Scarlett Adler, “…” This guy is really sick.


    However, the more he said that, the less Scarlett was inclined to do it.


    “Then you’re going to be disappointed!” she said, forcing a smile.


    It would have been better if she hadn’t smiled at all. For a moment, Hugo Hodges was lost in her beauty.


    Even though he knew she was just cating him, that smile was so captivating.


    Involuntarily, Hugo reached out to touch her face.


    “Scarlett Adler, were you testing me before, or did you really not understand yourself?” Hugo couldn’t help but


    murmur.


    “What do you mean?” Scarlett didn’t understand what he was getting at.


    However, Hugo stopped his hand midway. “Never mind, I just think your face… is too fake.”


    Scarlett, “…”


    Fake?


    Everyone always said she was beautiful, or at least that’s what others said. Gradually, she hade to


    believe it herself.


    How could it be fake?

    However, Scarlett didn’t care about that at all. Instead, she looked at him and said, “Hugo Hodges, there are many ways you could have gotten back at me, but you chose the most expensive one.”


    “So you saw through me?”


    “Can’t we just have a nice, clean break?”


    Hugo’s lips twitched slightly. “No.”


    Scarlett looked at him, her brow furrowed.

    “The more you don’t want it, the more I’ll give it to you. I’ll give you two choices: either drive the car away, or I’ll deliver it to your house after you leave.”


    Scarlett couldn’t help herself. “Hugo, are you just showing off your money?”


    “You’re right.”


    Scarlett was speechless.


    This man had no shame.


    “Fine,” Scarlett said, nodding helplessly. “I’ll ept it, but we have to sign an agreement stating that you insisted on giving me the car, and there are no ulterior motives. Don’te asking for it backter.”


    “No agreement.”


    “Then I don’t want it.” Scarlett turned to leave.


    Hugo blocked her way.


    During the scuffle, Scarlett suddenly raised her hand, her brow furrowing as she let out a groan.


    Her hand was still wrapped in bandages. Seeing this, Hugo immediately looked concerned. “What’s wrong?


    Are you okay?”


    Scarlett red at him angrily.


    “I’ll take you to the hospital,” Hugo Hodges said, pulling her along.


    “No,” Scarlett Adler replied, pulling her hand away from him as if she was sulking.


    Hugo Hodges looked at her. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”


    “Yeah, if you had, my hand would be useless,” Scarlett Adler said, still upset.


    Hugo Hodges frowned deeply as he looked at her. “Why hasn’t it healed after all these days? Did the wound


    get infected?”


    Scarlett Adler didn’t say anything, still looking like she was in pain.


    Hugo Hodges couldn’t help himself and walked over, pressing the inte button. “Send someone from the infirmary here.”


    A few minutester, the infirmary staff re-bandaged Scarlett Adler’s hand. “The wound has just healed, so try not to move it too much, or it might reopen!”


    “Thank you,” Scarlett Adler said.


    “You’re wee.” After bandaging her hand, the doctor looked at Hugo Hodges. “If that’s all, Mr. Hodges, I’ll head back.”


    Hugo Hodges nodded. After the doctor left, Hugo Hodges walked over and looked at Scarlett Adler.

    After thinking for a while, he said, “The car is a gift from Grandpa. If I don’t give it to you, he’ll keep causing a fuss. You know I can’t do anything with him. He’s so old, and I don’t want to upset him anymore.”


    Scarlett Adler remained silent.


    “If you’re really worried about trouble, I’ll sign an agreement with you.”


    “Okay, you said it.” Scarlett Adler looked at him, her eyes suddenly lighting up.


    Hugo Hodges frowned. “Could you be any more obvious?”


    “I’ve never denied my ambition.” Scarlett Adler was very frank, both in the past and now.


    Hugo Hodges was speechless.


    Looking at her, Hugo Hodges felt that she had other reasons and purposes, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on them.


    However, it was just a car, and he didn’t really care about it.


    The agreement was drawn up and signed in duplicate.


    Scarlett Adler looked at the agreement. “Hugo Hodges, it’s not that I’m trying to take advantage of you, it’s that you insisted on giving it to me. I’m just securing myself.”


    “Securing what? Afraid I’ll ask for it backter?”


    “If you only wanted the car and money, that would be fine,” Scarlett Adler said. She was worried that Hugo Hodges would use the car as leverage to get her three children.


    “What do you mean?”


    “Nothing.” Scarlett’s mood instantly improved. Looking at him, she said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”


    “Wait a moment.”


    “What?” Scarlett looked at him warily.


    “The money.” Hugo gestured towards the box on the ground.


    Scarlett nced at it. “It’s just an empty box. You can have it.”


    Hugo, “……???”


    “You wouldn’t want it anyway, and withdrawing ten million from the bank takes time, so I had to resort to this.” Scarlett said innocently.


    “Aren’t you afraid I’ll just take it?”


    “Isn’t a direct transfer better?”


    Hugo, “…”


    Even though she had clearly outsmarted him, Hugo didn’t seem angry at all.

    Instead, he found it… somewhat interesting,


    He must be crazy!


    Hugo nodded. “Fine, very well.”


    “Don’t be upset. I’m not trying to cheat you. If you ever change your mind, I’ll return the car to you anytime,” Scarlett said, then added specifically, “I’ll even give you depreciation fees.”


    Hugo, “…”


    И


    What did this woman take him for?


    “Scarlett, say another word, and I won’t be held responsible for what I do,” Hugo warned, staring at her.


    “Goodbye.” Scarlett, knowing when to quit, stood up to leave,


    As soon as she opened the door, Henry appeared. “Ms. Adler, are you leaving already?”


    “Yes,” Scarlett nodded.


    “I’ve already brewed your coffee, freshly ground!”


    Scarlett nced at it, picked it up, took arge sip, and handed it back to Henry with a smile. “It’s delicious, thank you.” With that, she walked away gracefully.


    Watching this scene, Hugo narrowed his eyes.


    Scarlett…


    Maybe she wasn’t so boring and shrewish after all. In fact, she was bing more and more interesting.
