Chapter 78 Save my mommy.
After hearing Tara Green say that the car had been driven away, First nearly copsed.
The phone kept showing that it was unreachable, and they couldn’t get in touch with her no matter what.
Second and Fourth also found out about the situation, and their eyes turned red with fear.
“Should… should we contact Uncle? Maybe he knows where Mommy is?” Fourth asked.
Her words seemed to ignite a spark of hope in them.
Second looked at First.
First was silent for a few seconds. “Call, call him now.”
Fourth immediately took out her phone, found Hugo Hodges’s WhatsApp, and dialed.

Meanwhile, Hugo Hodges was facing Tiana Young.
He pushed her away as she lunged at him, looking at her. “Tiana, I think you’ve misunderstood.”
“Misunderstood? Misunderstood what?” Tiana asked, slightly tipsy.
“I see you as a friend, a partner, family. I don’t have those kinds of feelings for you,” Hugo said.
Tiana was stunned.
“You’ve had a bit too much to drink today. We’ll talk when you’re sober,” Hugo said, turning to leave.
Just then, Hugo’s phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw it was a WeChat voice message from Fourth. He frowned slightly and
answered.
“Hello.”
“Uncle, where are you? Please, save Scarlett! Save my mommy!”
Hearing Fourth’s tearful voice, Hugo Hodges frowned. “Speak clearly, what’s wrong?”
“I, I don’t know how to say it…”
Just then, someone took the phone. “Hugo Hodges, where are you right now? Are you with my mommy?”
Hearing someone else’s voice, Hugo Hodges was even more confused. “Who is your mommy?”
“Scarlett Adler, Scarlett Adler is my mommy.”
Hugo Hodges felt his scalp tingle, but he still asked seriously, “Scarlett Adler has a child?”
“Yes, Hugo Hodges, is my mommy with you? She’s in danger, very dangerous!” he said.
????????
Hearing that Scarlett Adler was in danger, Hugo Hodges frowned. “What exactly happened?”
“My mommy went to the Hodges Family Group today for work. Someone saw her car being tampered with, and I can’t reach her now.” As he spoke, there was a faint sound of crying on the other end of the phone.
Hugo Hodges, aware of the seriousness of the situation, responded, “I understand. I have her location on my phone. I’ll call you back once I’ve contacted her.” With that, Hugo hung up and immediately got up to leave.
At that moment, Tiana Young suddenly hugged him from behind, “Hugo, don’t go!”
“I have something important to do. Let go of me.”
“No, I won’t. The moment I let go, you’ll leave.”
Hugo Hodges didn’t say anything, simply removed her hands from his body, and got up to leave.
Tiana Young broke down, shouting at his back, “Are you in love with Scarlett Adler?”
Hugo Hodges paused, but without turning around, he said, “I don’t know, but I do know that I need to find her
now.” With that, he opened the door and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Tiana Young clenched her fists tightly.
The meticulously prepared dinner on the table seemed especially ring. Unable to contain herself, she
rushed forward and swept everything off the table.
With a loud crash, tes and wine shattered on the floor.
Tiana Young watched, then copsed to the ground.
Why?
Why?
She had already gone to such lengths, why was it still not enough?
She used to think that Hugo Hodges had at least some feelings for her, but now, all those fantasies shattered
the moment he rushed out.
Scarlett Adler?
What was so great about that woman?
Thinking of her, Tiana Young was filled with even more resentment. She wouldn’t let this go so easily!
After Hugo Hodges went out, he checked the car’s location on his phone.
The car was still moving, heading towards the suburbs. Hugo Hodges tried calling Scarlett Adler, but she was still unreachable.
Damn it!
Hugo Hodges immediately got into his car and drove towards the location on his phone.

Remembering something, he called Henry Fallon.
“Call the headquarters of the car dealership and have them check the status of the car Scarlett Adler is driving. Also, send an alert directly to the car to make her stop,” Hugo Hodges said.
“Uh, why?” Henry Fallon asked.
“No time for questions, just do as I say, now!” Hugo Hodges snapped.
Henry Fallon didn’t dare to ask more. “I’ll call right away.” With that, he hung up.
IVICTIO
After hanging up the phone, Hugo Hodges saw that the location was still moving. He floored the elerator and sped off in that direction.
Scarlett Adler, you better be okay. You just better be!!!
Hugo’s eyes hardened, and he drove even faster!
Scarlett Adler was driving, and at first, she didn’t notice anything wrong. But as she picked up speed, the
brakes seemed to be failing.
Realizing there was something wrong with the car, Scarlett immediately turned the vehicle toward a less
popted area.
However, Port City was arge city, and even at night, even on the outskirts, there were still quite a few cars
on the road.
Scarlett gripped the steering wheel, her face serious, trying her best to avoid every vehicle.
The farther she drove toward the suburbs, the darker the road became. Even though there were fewer cars,
each one that emerged from the darkness was a test.
The farther she drove, the more Scarlett lost confidence.
The brakes werepletely useless. Scarlett looked around for a ce to force the car to stop, but there were no streetlights on either side of the road, and it was pitch ck. She couldn’t see anything, relying only on the faint light from the car’s headlights.
Finally, as Scarlett Adler rounded a corner, she spotted a mound of dirt. Just as she was using it to try and get a clearer view, she suddenly heard a horn ring from ahead.
Scarlett Adler looked forward, but it was pitch ck, and there was no road in sight.
The next moment, a truck emerged from the right, and Scarlett Adler quickly swerved the steering wheel.
The truck driver, seemingly surprised to see a car there, also swerved and mmed on the brakes.
But Scarlett Adler wasn’t so lucky. The brakes didn’t work, and she crashed directly into the hillside. Perhaps because of the excessive speed, the car flipped after hitting it…
The car ended up upside down, with smoke rising from it.

??????????
Back at home, First was restless.
The three children knew what was happening but didn’t dare tell William Adler, fearing he wouldn’t be able to
handle the worry and stress.
The three of them made excuses to stay together in one room.
“Everything should be fine. Dad already knows, he’ll find Mom!” Fourth said,forting First and himself.
First didn’t respond. He picked up a ss of water from the table, and whether he didn’t notice or it was an
ident, the ss slipped and shattered on the floor. As he reached to pick up the pieces, his hand was
suddenly cut and started bleeding.
“Mommy…” First whispered.
Fourth and Second exchanged nces.
In that moment, as if connected by telepathy, Fourth couldn’t hold back and tears streamed down her face.
