Tiana eyed the mother and daughter closely. The little girl didn’t just resemble Hugo; she looked even more like Scarlett. It
was uncanny.
Just as annoying, just as infuriating!
No wonder she felt an inexplicable dislike for the girl before. Now it all made sense.
Tiana’s tone turned sarcastic. “Scarlett, is this really your daughter?”
Scarlett, munching on her food,zily raised an eyebrow. “Is there a problem?”
Tiana smirked, looking like she was about to win a game. “You have a daughter, so why are you still clinging to Hugo?”
Scarlett frowned at thement, but before she could respond, Hugo stepped forward and grabbed her hand. “Tiana,
stop making things up!”
Tiana huffed and turned to him. “How am I making things up? It’s true! Hugo, this woman has someone else’s child. Why
are you still hung up on her?”
Hugo’s eyes shed with anger. “That’s my business, not yours!”
“Hugo, are you out of your mind?” Tiana looked at him in disbelief.
“I told you, my business is none of your concern,” Hugo said, enunciating each word clearly.
But Tiana wasn’t backing down. “I don’t know what kind of spell this woman has put on you, but even Mr. Hodges won’t agree to this!”
She turned to Scarlett, “You once got rid of Hugo’s child, and now you have a daughter. Scarlett, I advise you to stop clinging to Hugo. No matter what tricks you try, Mr. Hodges will never let you back into the Hodges family!”
Hugo was about to speak when Scarlett suddenly smiled. “Is that so?”
Tiana smiled confidently, “Of course.”

Scarlett remained calm, her gaze shifting to Hugo. Her almond–shaped eyes carried a hint of detachment. “Hugo, if I
wanted to enter your family again, would you agree?”
Hugo looked at her in disbelief.
“Just giving you one chance. Do you agree?” Scarlett asked, her tone light but her gaze intense.
Though Hugo knew she was being stubborn, he couldn’t bring himself to deny it.
His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied, “I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
As soon as he spoke, Tiana frowned. “Hugo…”

“But what if Mr. Hodges doesn’t agree?” Scarlett continued.
Hugo’s lips curled into a smile. “You know full well, the old man is more than eager.”
Tiana still couldn’t believe it. “How is that possible? Mr. Hodges…”
Before she could finish, Scarlett interrupted, “Did you hear that, Tiana? The Hodges family is practically begging me to join
them. It’s me who’s hesitating.”
Tiana looked at Scarlett, her fists clenched in anger. “That’s impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but I’m telling you, don’te here and make a scene again. I tolerated you
once, but that doesn’t mean I’ll tolerate you a second time,” Scarlett said, emphasizing each word.
Scarlett didn’t even want to argue with her, but if she insisted on making a scene in front of the kids, Scarlett would make
sure she knew what it felt like to be utterly embarrassed!
Tiana wasn’t backing down<b>. </b>“I’ll take this up with Mr. Adler,” she dered.
She thought this would intimidate Scarlett, but there wasn’t a hint of worry on her face.
“Feel free to leave,” Scarlett replied, effectively showing her the door.
Tiana was fuming as she turned to leave.

Just then, Scarlett spoke up, “Oh, and take Hugo with you. Just because you want something doesn’t mean everyone else
does. He’s been here for days and refuses to leave.”
This made Tiana even more furious!
She looked at Hugo. “Hugo, did you hear that? This woman doesn’t love you at all!”
Hugo didn’t say a word and simply got up to walk out.
Seeing this, Tiana assumed Hugo had finallye to his senses and was leaving with her. She immediately smiled,
ncing back at Scarlett with a smug look, “You really don’t understand him at all.”
Hugo!” With that, he immediately followed.
In the hallway outside.
Tiana saw him and rushed forward to grab his arm. “Hugo…”
But just as her hand reached out, Hugo stepped aside.
Tiana’s hand froze in mid–air, and she looked up at him. “Hugo, you heard what that woman said. Are you still not giving
up?”
Hugo looked at her with cold eyes. “Tiana, I thought I made myself clear before. Apparently, you still don’t get it. Since
that’s the case, I’ll have Henry handle your resignation.”
Tiana was stunned, looking at him in disbelief. “You’re kicking me out?”
“For everything you’ve done for thepany over the years, I’ll make sure Henry settles it all fairly. You won’t lose a
penny,” Hugo said before turning to leave.
Tiana felt herself breaking down. “Is everything I’ve done for you and thepany just something that can be measured
in money? Was it all about money for me?”
Hugo paused for a moment.
“Or have you forgotten… back then, to help you secure the shares, I almost… You promised you would protect me!” Tiana

said, her voice steady as she looked at him.
Hugo stood with his back to her, his jawline tense.

Seeing he was silent, Tiana continued, “I’ve done so much for you. Don’t you understand how I feel? I’d do anything for
you!”
At that moment, Hugo turned around. “That’s why all these years, I’ve turned a blind eye <i>to </i><i>your </i>actions <i>out </i>of respect for
our past. But that doesn’t mean I’m unaware.”
Tiana was taken aback, a bit embarrassed. “What do you mean by that?”
“Thest time you drank at the bar, and I took you home, do you remember what you did?” Hugo asked.
Tiana froze.
“Tiana, don’t exhaust thest bit of goodwill I have for you!” With that, he turned and headed back to the hospital room,
not giving her a chance to respond.
Tiana stood there, stunned. How did he find out about the sleeping pills?
Inside the hospital room.
Fourth looked at Scarlett with bright eyes, “Scarlett, are you mad?”
“No.”
“Scarlett, you were amazing just now! You really got under that meandy’s skin!”
“Do you know her?”
“I saw her once when I met Uncle,” Fourth said. “Whenever he hugged me, she’d give me these looks. I could tell she didn’t
really like me!”
Scarlett furrowed her brow<i>, </i>deep in thought.

“Scarlett, do you think Uncle really got mad and left with that woman?” Fourth asked.
Just <i>as </i>the words left her mouth, Hugo walked back through the door.
Seeing him, Fourth immediately beamed, “Uncle didn’t leave.<i>” </i>She rushed over to him.
Scarlett also watched Hugo, her dark eyes filled with doubt.
He didn’t leave???
