Chapter 62 Very charismatic and captivating.


    After Scarlett Adler left, Henry Fallon walked in.


    Seeing the box on the floor, Henry asked in surprise, “Boss, did you really ept the money?”


    Hugo Hodges looked at him without saying a word.


    “No, that’s not how you chase a girl, Boss. epting it makes it seem like you’re forcing her,” Henry said,


    walking closer.


    “Is that so?” Hugo replied casually.


    “Of course! You have to firmly refuse at a time like this!” Henry insisted.


    Hugo remained silent.


    “But your ex-girlfriend is something else, with such a strong temper. You give her something, and she brings the money right back to you. I must say, it’s quite impressive and satisfying to watch,” Henry chuckled to


    himself.


    Hugo ignored him.


    On a whim, Henry looked at Hugo mysteriously and asked, “Boss, can I see the ten million dors? I’ve never


    seen that much cash before.”


    Hearing this, Hugozily raised an eyebrow. “Don’t bother looking. Just take it. It’s yours.”


    “Huh?” Henry was stunned, looking at Hugo. “No, Boss, I just wanted to see…”


    “Seriously, take it,” Hugo Hodges said earnestly.


    Seeing that he wasn’t joking, Henry Fallon smiled sheepishly. “Boss, don’t do this. I’m a little scared. As the


    saying goes, you shouldn’t ept rewards for no reason. How can I ept this?”


    “Do you want it or not?” Hugo Hodges asked.


    “Should I… should I take it?” Henry Fallon asked, looking at him.


    “Take the box and get out,” Hugo Hodges ordered.


    Well… it was hard not to obey.


    Seeing that Hugo Hodges wasn’t kidding, Henry Fallonughed. “Alright, boss, I won’t be polite then. Don’t worry, I’ll work like a donkey for you from now on, no matter what.” With that, he picked up the box to leave.


    But as soon as he lifted it, he realized the box was extremely light.


    Henry Fallon looked at Hugo Hodges. “Boss, this…”


    Hugo Hodges suppressed a smile, pretending not to know anything. “What’s wrong?” he asked.


    Henry Fallon didn’t know whether to say it or not, but he opened the box in front of him. It waspletely


    empty.


    “Boss, this…”


    “I think you might have been tricked by your ex-boss’s wife,” Henry Fallon said.


    Hugo Hodges’s expression remained unchanged,


    “Boss, aren’t you angry?”


    “Why should I be angry?” Hugo Hodges retorted.


    Henry Fallon paused, realizing that he might have been the one being yed, not Scarlett Adler,


    He felt deeply ashamed.


    “Boss, you tricked me again…” Henry Fallonined pitifully, His heart, which had just been filled with ten million, now feltpletely empty.


    “I didn’t trick you,” Hugo Hodges denied.


    “You…” Henry Fallon wanted to say something, but upon reflection, Hugo Hodges hadn’t actually said anything misleading.


    “Ahhh, my ten million!” Henry Fallon walled twice before turning and leaving,


    Outside.


    Scarlett Adler had just reached the car when Tiana Young got out,


    “Scarlett Adler?” Tiana Young said, looking at her, then at the car that had appeared in the news. Her brow furrowed slightly in displeasure.


    Scarlett Adler turned around and smiled when she saw her. “Ms. Young,”


    “What are you doing here?” Tiana Young asked, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.


    Scarlett Adler didn’t bother to hide anything. “I’m here to return the car.”


    Looking at the car beside her, Tiana Young asked, “This car… Hugo really gave it to you?”


    “Technically, you could say that,” Scarlett Adler replied.


    Tiana Young’s smile faltered slightly.


    “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going,” Scarlett Adler said, not wanting to exin further. After all, she wasn’t Hugo Hodges’ girlfriend.


    “Wait,” Tiana Young called out, pausing for a moment. “Ms. Adler, let’s add each other on WhatsApp, so we can contact each other about work-rted matters in the future,” she suggested,


    Scarlett Adler couldn’t refuse such a reason.

    Nodding, she agreed, “Sure!” and took out her phone to open WhatsApp.


    “I’ll scan you,” Tiana Young said.


    Scarlett Adler disyed her QR code, which she scanned and added.


    “Then we’ll contact each other on WhatsApp for anything in the future,” Tiana Young said.


    Scarlett Adler nodded. “Then I’ll be going now.” With that, she got into her car and drove off.


    Watching the red sports car disappear from sight, Tiana Young felt a pang in her heart.


    Nothing was more jarring than witnessing it firsthand.


    With that thought, Tiana Young turned and walked into thepany building, heading towards Hugo Hodges’ office.


    Tiana Young knocked on the door and entered.


    “Hugo.”

    Seeing Tiana Young, Hugo Hodges said, “Why aren’t you at the hospital? What brings you to the office?”


    Tiana Young ced a file in front of him. “You left this at the hospital. I brought it here for you.”


    Seeing the file, Hugo Hodges said, “You could have called. I would have had someone pick it up.”


    “Such an important document, I wouldn’t trust it with just anyone,” Tiana Young replied.


    Hugo Hodges smiled. “When is the surgery scheduled?”


    “Tomorrow afternoon.”


    Hugo Hodges nodded. “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”


    Tiana Young nodded, looking at him thoughtfully. “I ran into Ms. Adler downstairs just now.”


    Speaking of which, Hugo Hodges remained silent.


    “She said she was here to return the car… that car, did you give it to her?” Tiana Young asked.


    “The old man wanted to give it to her,” Hugo Hodges said.


    “The old man?” Tiana Young smiled bitterly. “The old man is really good to Ms. Adler.”


    “Yeah, the old man treats her like his own granddaughter.” Hugo Hodges didn’t deny it; in fact, it seemed like she was even more favored than his own grandson.


    Regardless of who gave it to her, Tiana Young didn’t feel great about it, but it was definitely easier to ept than if Hugo Hodges had given it to her.


    “You probably don’t know, but the news about you giving her the car caused quite a stir. Everyone said it was a love offering…”


    “Really?” Hugo Hodges asked, “When? I didn’t see it.”


    “The post was taken downter; you can’t find it anymore.”


    Hugo Hodges thought for a moment, and his intuition told him that Scarlett Adler was behind it,


    Only she would want to distance herself from him sopletely,


    And considering her profession, taking down a post wouldn’t be a problem for her at all.


    Thinking of this, Hugo Hodges’ lips curled into a smile.


    Seeing that he wasn’t angry but instead seemed to be enjoying it, Tiana felt even worse. It was as if something was piercing her heart, making it hard to breathe.


    “Hugo, after my dad’s surgery, there’s something I need to talk to you about,” Tiana said, clenching her fist as


    she looked at him.


    “What is it? Can’t you tell me now?” Hugo asked, looking back at her.


    Tiana shook her head. “It’s very important, and I need to say it at a very important time. You have to be there.”


    Seeing her mysterious and serious expression, Hugo thought for a moment and nodded, “Okay, I’ll be there.”


    Tiana looked at him, forcing a smile. “Then it’s a promise. I’ll be waiting for you.”


    Hugo nodded in agreement.
