“I knew about my connection to him back then, sure, but I never met him face–to–face. I never
nned to acknowledge him either. It was only because of my mom’s situation that we
crossed paths this time,” First said, shrugging.
“So, Hugo Hodges didn’t know about you before?” Tara asked.
“Obviously, he had no idea!”
Tara seemed lost in thought for a while before murmuring, “Your mom is really amazing and
truly remarkable!” she said sincerely.
First nodded in agreement. “Yeah, she went through so much to have me and raise me,
always worried that Hugo would find out and take me away. That’s why I never thought of
acknowledging him or admitting any connection, so I never mentioned it to you,” First
exined, finally tying the story together.
Tara listened and found it made sense, feeling a sense of empathy.
“How could Hugo be such a jerk? Your mom is so beautiful, and he still let her down? What a
scumbag!” Tara eximed.
First nodded in agreement. “Totally!”
“You did the right thing. Someone like Hugo shouldn’t have any descendants. He deserves to
be left with nothing!”
“Huh? Who are you insulting?” First asked, looking at Tara.

Tara paused for a moment before realizing what he meant. “I didn’t mean it like that. I was
just saying that someone like Hugo deserves this kind of oue. But who would’ve
thought he’d be so lucky to have a son like you!”
“Yeah!” First nodded in agreement.
“Ah, being a good person isn’t as good as having good luck,” Tara sighed.
First continued to nod, agreeing with her sentiment.
Then Tara turned to him, “Even though things are like this, and you have your own thoughts, you should’ve given me a heads–up… After all, I’ve said so many bad things about Hugo…”
Her voice trailed off as she spoke.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell him anything you said,” First assured her.
“I’m not afraid of him finding out!” Tara insisted, refusing to back down.
<i>“</i>Of course, you’re definitely not afraid!” First said, supporting her.
“But… our rtionship with Hugo is still sensitive. Before, I thought it didn’t matter since you <i>weren’t </i>biologically rted. Now, things are different!” Tara continued.
Deep in thought, Tara mumbled, “If Quinn knew about this, he’d be pretty darn surprised!”
Then, Tara suddenly realized something and looked at First. “You’re not thinking of leaving the organization for Hugo Hodges, are you?”
First shook his head immediately. “No way, absolutely not!”

“Really? Do you promise?”
“I promise, one hundred percent!” First raised his hand and swore.
Tara finally felt relieved. “I want to believe you, but with Quinn… who knows!”
First chuckled, “Don’t worry, he has no choice but to trust me…”
Tara looked at him, and First quickly straightened up, trying to look serious.
“Who says? He has another option…” Tara said.
“What?”

At that moment, Tara made a throat–slitting gesture.
First thought for a moment. “You might have a point there!”
“d you understand.”
“So, I’ll be counting on you to protect me!” First said with a yful grin.
Having spent so much time with First, Tara noticed that while he did smile, it was usually
measured and mature, like a little adult. It was rare to see him smile so childishly.
For a moment…
Sigh.
It was all Tara’s fault for not being immune to that face!

Who could resist when he was so adorable, so sweet, and just begging to be loved?
Tara shot him a look. “Anyway, you better not keep secrets from me or deceive me again!”
“Okay!” He nodded.
“If I find out you’re hiding something from me again… I’ll…” Tara threatened, eyeing him.
“What will you do?” He asked.
Tara gave a mysterious smile. “Do you know how ancient eunuchs used to… you know?”
He was speechless.
Tara gently patted his silly little face. “Got it, sweetheart?”
He immediately beamed like a flower and nodded obediently.
“Good, let’s go!”
He followed her outside.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
“Tara…?”
“Call me beautiful!”
“Beau…tiful…”
“Speak.”

“If I were to say I’m still hiding something from you…”
Tara’s gaze turned deadly.
He quicklyughed and said, “Just kidding… just messing around.”
Tara Green finally turned her gaze away and walked out.
First let out a quiet sigh of relief.
It seemed that the situation was best left to unfold naturally.
If worsees to worst, he would just deal with it as ites.

After handling some business, Henry Fallon headed straight to the hospital.
Seeing Hugo Hodges lying in bed, bandaged in several ces, Henry felt both worried and
scared.
Hugo nced at him, “Why are you standing so far away?”
Henry shuffled a few steps closer, still a bit timid. “Boss, I didn’t expect things to turn out like
this…”
Hugo chuckled coldly, “If you’d wasted more time on the phone that day, you’d be the boss
now.<i>” </i>
“No, no!” Henry quickly replied, “Boss is always the boss. That’s unchangeable!”

Ignoring Henry’s words, Hugo asked, “How’s everything going?”
Talking about this, Henry boldly stepped forward again. “I <i>spoke </i>with thewyer. Tim Wade is
still bedridden, really badly hurt. But he’s more conscious now, and the <i>police </i>have questioned him. He confessed to what he did, but he insists it wasn’t <i>Kane </i><i>Jennings </i>who
ordered him.”
Henry spoke up.
Hugo squinted his eyes, “We went to see Kane. His reaction seemed genuine, <i>not </i><i>like </i>he was faking it. It probably wasn’t him who orchestrated this!”
“The strange thing,” Henry pondered, “is if it wasn’t Kane, then how did he find the former boss’s wife? If he wanted revenge, shouldn’t he havee after you?”
Hugo <i>nced </i>at him.
Realizing his mistake, Henry quickly added, “I didn’t mean it like that, boss… I’m just stating the facts.” He shed a sheepish smile.
Hugo couldn’t be bothered <i>to </i>respond.
With his lips pressed tightly and brows furrowed, he was pondering the same question Henry
had raised.
Then, Henry remembered something, “Oh<i>, </i>boss, that Tim Wade, although he seems to have a mental disorder, I’ve heard his IQ is really high, much higher than average.”

During their interactions, Hugo had already noticed.
Tim wasn’t just any ordinary patient with a mental disorder.
With this in mind, a new thought began to form in Hugo’s mind.
He looked at Henry. “Come here.”
Henry heard him and stepped closer.
“Bring your ear closer,” Hugo said coldly.

Henry hesitantly leaned in, offering his ear. Hugo whispered something softly to him…
As Henry listened, his eyes gradually became clearer and more focused.
