    Chapter 70 Just burning money.


    “Ah,” Henry Fallon nodded. “Ms. Adler’s profile is simple and ordinary, nothing special to see.”


    Hugo Hodges frowned, looking like he was about to explode.


    Henry Fallon thought for a moment and leaned in closer. “If it’s about Ms. Adler’s love life abroad…”


    Hearing this, Hugo Hodges looked up at him.


    Henry Fallon knew he had hit the mark.


    “Nothing,” Henry Fallon shook his head. “Ms. Adler was single during her years abroad.”


    Hearing this seemed to improve Hugo Hodges’ mood, and hezily raised an eyebrow. “With her looks, it’s


    normal that no one would chase her.”


    Henry Fallon was speechless.


    Was this a case of getting an advantage and stillining?


    Or did the boss have some kind of misconception about the word “beauty”?


    “Boss, don’t say that. Even if Ms. Adler didn’t date abroad, it doesn’t mean she has no market here. And don’t forget, she’s at Rising Sun Tech now, which is mostly men. I’ve heard that Ms. Adler is quite popr there.”


    Hugo Hodges didn’t even bother to acknowledge those people. “Do you think she’d even look at them?”


    “You never know. I think Ms. Adler has a unique taste, and with all her money, she might just end up with a


    toy boy,” Henry Fallon joked. It wouldn’t be out of character for Scarlett Adler to do something like that!


    Speaking of which, the image of Yale Lowe shed through Hugo’s mind, causing another wave of


    annoyance.


    “Do you have nothing better to do?” Hugo suddenly asked sternly.


    “Huh?” Henry Fallon looked up, seeing Hugo’s gloomy face. What had he done to set him off again?


    “Yes, I have things to do,” Henry Fallon replied.


    “Then why aren’t you out there doing them?”


    And with that, Henry Fallon scurried out of the room.


    Standing outside the door, he took a deep breath. He now understood what it meant to serve a king like a


    tiger.


    This life was just too damn exciting!


    In the afternoon, Scarlett Adler received a package containing a new phone.


    As she was unpacking it, Ethan Underwood happened to pass by with a ss of water. He noticed her new phone and curiously leaned in. “New phone arrived?”


    “Mmm,” Scarlett replied, without looking up.


    “Uh, what brand of phone is that? I’ve never seen it before, it’s quite nice,” Ethan remarked.


    “It’s nothing special, just a custom one.”


    “Custom? You can customize phones now?” Ethan asked, intrigued.


    Scarlett, not wanting to bother with this “unsophisticated” man, took out her SIM card from her bag, ready to insert it. Ethan picked up the phone and started ying with it. “How much does it cost? I need to change my phone anyway, might as well get a custom one too, looks pretty unique.”


    “About two hundred thousand.”


    Holding the phone, Ethan suddenly felt it was heavy and substantial.


    He faked a cough and carefully put it down, as if afraid of dropping it. “Ms. Adler, is it really necessary to be


    so unique?”


    “Do you want one? I can help you order it,” Scarlett asked sincerely.


    Ethan shook his head. “No, no need.” He patted his pocket. “It hasn’t swelled to that extent yet.”


    Scarlett Adler didn’t say more and directly opened the card slot to install the SIM.


    Ethan Underwood was still curious and couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Adler, can I ask you a question?”


    “No.” Scarlett Adler was very focused.


    Ethan Underwood nced at her but continued, “I’m just curious, do you have a special need for this phone, or is it just a rich person’s hobby to show off their different status?”


    Scarlett Adler nced at him and said calmly, “Purely because I have too much money to burn.”


    “Okay, I understand.” Ethan Underwood nodded, as if he understood that the world of the rich was full of


    quirky tastes.


    Scarlett Adler turned on the phone and set it up. Ethan Underwood watched from the side, full of curiosity.


    Scarlett Adler didn’t do much, just briefly read some information, then looked at Ethan Underwood, who hadn’t left yet. “What, want to y with it for a bit?”


    Ethan Underwood quickly shook his head. “No thanks, I can’t afford to break it.”


    Scarlett Adler put it away directly.


    Ethan Underwood looked at her and said, “That guy who dropped you off today, is he one of your admirers, Ms. Adler? I know you’re wealthy, but you should be a bit more discreet. Otherwise, I worry people might think they can’t afford you.” <ul><li></li></ul>

    < Chapter 70 Just burning money.


    Ethan Underwood was taken aback. “I overstepped.”


    Ethan Underwood walked away with his water ss, wishing he could experience the quirky pleasures of the


    wealthy!


    Watching Ethan Underwood walk back with a lifeless expression, Brent Carter asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Ethan Underwood nced back at Scarlett Adler and said, “Nothing, just suddenly had the urge to be taken


    care of by a rich woman.”


    After work, Scarlett Adler went straight home.


    As she was rxing on the sofa, William Adler also returned. “Grandpa, why are you alone? Where are the


    little ones?”


    William Adler nced at Scarlett Adler and said with a smile, “Someone will bring them backter.”


    “Who is it?”


    “You’ll find out soon enough.” With that, William Adler went straight to the kitchen to get busy.


    Scarlett Adler frowned, pulled out her phone, and texted Fourth, “Who brought you guys back?”


    But there was no reply from the other end for a long time.


    Just then, Scarlett’s phone buzzed. Thinking it was a message from Fourth, she picked it up to check.


    “Did you get the phone?” It was an unmarked number.


    Scarlett Adler thought for a moment and typed a few words, “Yeah, I got it.”


    “OK, contact me if you have any issues.”


    “If you try to track me again, don’t me me for what happens.”


    The other party replied, “…I knew you’d find out.”


    “Last time.”


    “Alright, I promise you, I won’t try again. Anyway, it never worked.”


    Scarlett Adler didn’t reply and directly blocked the contact.


    Just then, the door opened, “Scarlett, we’re back.”


    First and Second came in first, followed by Yale Lowe carrying Fourth.


    Scarlett Adler was about to get up, but when she saw Yale Lowe, she paused in surprise.


    Yale Lowe put Fourth down and looked at Scarlett Adler. “I hope my unexpected visit isn’t upsetting you?”


    “What brings you here?” Scarlett Adler asked.


    “I had some free time today, so I went to the school and brought them back,” Yale Lowe replied.

    Just then, William Adler came out of the kitchen. Seeing Yale Lowe, he quickly greeted him, “Trustee Lowe,


    please,e in.”


    “Is it a good time?” Yale Lowe asked.


    “Yes, of course, it is. I bought a lot of food, just waiting for you,” William Adler said, still very weing. Yale Lowe seemed like a reliable person, and he wanted to find someone worthy of Scarlett’s trust as soon as


    possible.


    Yale Lowe looked at Scarlett Adler, not wanting to enter without her permission.


    Scarlett Adler then said, “Come in.”


    Yale Lowe smiled in relief and stepped inside. “Grandpa, this is a small token of my appreciation, some health supplements for you and some snacks for the kids,”


    “Oh, you helped us bring the kids back, and you even brought a gift? We can’t ept this,” William Adler said.


    “Well, I’m hoping to taste your cookingter,” Yale Lowe replied politely with a smile.


    William was really touched by his gentlemanly manner. “Alright, as long as you don’t mind it. Come on in and sit down. The food will be ready in a bit.”


    Yale then walked inside.
