Chapter 76 Her eyes were red-rimmed.
Were he and Hugo Hodges really father and son?
Although he had suspected it for a while, the impact of seeing the result was still different.
First stared at the line of text on theputer, lost in thought, unsure of what he was feeling.
Whether it was happiness or unhappiness, he couldn’t quite say. It was a mix of emotions.
Just then, Quinn teased him, “Whose paternity test did you do? Don’t tell me you had a secret child and are afraid your wife will find out?”
First was still lost in thought.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, Tara Green went to Port City,” Quinn said.
First was still lost in thought.
“First? First???”
Seeing that he was online but not responding, Quinn tried shaking his screen to get his attention. Only then
did First snap out of it.
“I’m here,” First said.
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing, just thinking about something.”
“Thinking about the test results?”
“Yeah.”
Quinn chuckled, “So, was the result what you expected or not?”
“Expected.”
“Then what are you still thinking about?”
“It’s hard to exin,” First said. This feeling was truly different. The result would determine how he would
treat Hugo Hodges from now on.
“Alright, even if he really is your son, just talk to your wife about it. You can’t hide this for long anyway, so you
might as well be honest,” said Kun.
First replied, “…I don’t have a wife.”
“No wife but you have a kid? Then you have even less to worry about! Just bring him back to raise,” Kun said.
First was speechless, not wanting to exin anything to Kun.
“You just said Tara Green came to Port City?” First changed the subject directly.
< Chapter 76 Her eyes were rea-nimmeu
“Yeah, she should be arriving today. So, do you guys want to meet up?” Kun asked.
First responded, “…Not convenient.”
“First, among all of us, you’re the most mysterious. We know nothing about you, yet we trust you so much. Do you know what it feels like to bepletely exposed?” Kun asked.
“So?” First asked.
“So, show your face and let us meet you,” Kun said.
“Not convenient.”
Kun eximed, “…Damn it, do you know any other words besides that?”
First thought for a moment and said, “No.”
Kun was at a loss for words, feeling like cursing.
Just then, Tara Green came online and entered the chatroom.
“What’s up? Are you guys talking about me?” Tara Green seemed cheerful as soon as she logged in.
“Looks like you came back empty-handed from Port City,” Kun said regretfully.
“First didn’t want to see me?” Tara Green asked.
“He’s not avable.”
“First, are you too insecure to meet me?” Tara Green asked.
“Whatever makes you happy.” First sent a smiling emoji.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re not good-looking, you’re talented, and I won’t look down on you,” Tara Green said,
sending a sexy picture.
“That’s right, Tara Green is one of the top three beauties in the underground organization. It would be a real
shame if you didn’t meet her,” Kun said.
First replied, “I’ve already seen her.”
“What? When did you see her?” Tara Green asked.
“When I hacked your phone.”
“Damn it!” Tara Green couldn’t help but curse. “First, that’s not fair.”
“Just take back what I said, and pretend you don’t know.”
Tara Green was speechless.
This was even more terrifying!
They had no idea, and couldn’t find any trace of being hacked.
Kun felt a deep sense of fear.

Luckily, First was on their side. Otherwise, this person’s existence would definitely keep them up at night.
“So, you think I’m ugly?” Tara Green asked after thinking for a long while.
“Not ugly, quite pretty actually. Of all the people I’ve seen, you’re definitely second.”
“Who’s first?” Tara Green asked.
“My… dear mother.”
Tara Green was speechless. She took that as him just being polite.
“Then what do you mean? You don’t want to see me?” Tara Green asked.
First thought for a moment, “I’m afraid of scaring you.”
“Even if you looked like a pile of dung, you wouldn’t scare us,” Tara Green said.
She was clearly a beautiful woman, but why did her words have such a kick?
First said, “Give me some time to think about it.”
This was the first time in a long while that First had shown any willingness.
Tara Green and Kun seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
“Then I’ll wait for your message,” Tara Green said.
“Where are you staying?” First asked.
Tara Green didn’t hide it, “Near the Hodges Family Group.”
First raised an eyebrow, “Why there?”
“I’ve heard so much about the president of the Hodges Family Group, I wanted to meet him and see if he’s as amazing as the rumors say,” Tara Green said with a smile.
First was at a loss for words. How could he stop her from targeting Hugo Hodges?
Just as he was pondering, Tara Green said, “But I probably won’t see it.”
“Why?” First asked.
“Today, in the Hodges Family Group parking lot, I saw someone tampering with a Phantom. It must have been
Hugo Hodges’ car. Who knows, he might be in the news tomorrow,” Tara Green said.
First’s heart skipped a beat. “What did you say?”
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
“Phantom?”
“Yeah, there were a lot of nice cars in the parking lot, but only someone of Hugo Hodges’ status could afford

Fourth was on the couch watching TV.
“Fourth, is Scarlett at Hodges Family Group?”
“Yeah!” Fourth nodded.
“Did Scarlett drive to work today?”
“Yes, she did,” Fourth replied.
Second noticed that First looked uneasy and asked, “What’s wrong?”
First didn’t answer, immediately pulling out his phone to call Scarlett Adler.
But the call couldn’t connect.
He tried again and again, but the phone remained unreachable.
Panic rose within him. Just then, Second walked in. “What’s wrong?”
“Call Scarlett, keep calling until you get through,” First said.
Second didn’t dare ask questions and picked up his phone to dial. He had never seen First like this before.
Walking back to theputer, First looked at Tara Green, who was still online, and asked, “Do you remember
the license te number of the car that was tampered with?”
“Yes, LX600.” Having a photographic memory was a basic skill for them.
“Red, right?”
“Oh, you know?” Tara Green asked.
“Are you sure you saw someone tampering with it?” First’s hand trembled as he asked the question.
Even through theputer, Tara Green could sense First’s tension. “I’m sure.”
First didn’t speak, his eyes reddening.
“Is there anything I can do to help?” Tara Green asked.
Remembering that Tara Green was near the Hodges Family Group, First said, “Go and stop that car. Don’t let anyone drive it, you have to stop it!!!”
Knowing the matter was urgent, Tara Green didn’t ask any more questions and simply replied, “I’m on my way.”
Turning back, First looked at Second. “Did you get through on the phone?”
Second shook his head.
