Watching Hugo Hodges with such confidence, Grandpa couldn’t help but let out a couple of coldughs. “You talk like you don’t care, but you’ve got everything nned out, even knowing the Lowe Family inside out.
What, are you scared now?”
“It’s called knowing your enemy and yourself; that’s how you win every battle,” Hugo replied with a smile.
Grandpa chuckled lightly and rolled his eyes at him.
But he had to admit, this conversation did give him a sense of reassurance.
However, Grandpa still felt a twinge of worry. “But if Yale Lowe’s mother is really as you say…
she might harm Scarlett?”

Hugo furrowed his brow for a moment, then smiled, “Don’t worry, with her temperament, it’s a wonder she
doesn’t drive others crazy.”
Grandpa frowned, still a bit concerned. “No, I need to learn more about this Lowe Family. I can’t let them bully Scarlett!” With that thought, he stood up to leave.
<b>“</b>Grandpa, where are you going?” Hugo asked.
“I’m heading over to Old Adler’s ce. It’s about time my great–grandchildren are out <i>of </i>school, so I might as well go see them!” he said, walking away without looking back.

Just as the old man left, Hugo’s phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was Henry calling, then answered.
“Speak.”

“Boss, I just finished handling things outside. When I got back, I heard that Ms. Young came to the office,
resigned, and took all her belongings,” Henry said.
Upon hearing this, Hugo furrowed his brow. “I see.”
“And…”
“Keep an eye on her movements. Let me know if there’s any news,” Hugo instructed.
“Understood!”
He hung up the phone.
Hugo’s <i>brow </i>remained furrowed.
Though he had always known Tiana Young had her own little schemes and wasn’t entirely innocent, Hugo
never imagined she would take such a step.
This time, she had indeed crossed his line!

Tara managed to get First back to school just before the end of the day. Watching First enter the school,

It’s mind–boggling to think that one of the world’s top hackers is still in school…
After dropping the kids off at school, Tara Green went back home to catch up on some sleep.
With no tasks to handle these days, she was determined to make up for all the lost sleep.
She hadn’t been gone long when William showed up.
He picked up the three little ones and headed back.
On the way, First was so sleepy it was almostical.
Second and Fourth had a million questions they wanted to ask, but with William around, they had to hold
back.
Finally, they reached downstairs.
William nced back and saw First still dozing off, his brow furrowing, “First, why are <i>you </i>so sleepy today?”
First woke up but before he could answer, Fourth chimed in, “Brother was at the hospital with Scarlett yesterday, didn’t sleep well, so it’s normal to be tired!”
William listened and nodded, it made sense. He hadn’t gone home but had stayed at the hospital, so he knew
First was exhausted and didn’t press further.
However, as they got out of the car, William’s brows knitted together when he saw someone <b>standing </b>outside, “Old Hodges, what are you doing here<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Grandpa was waiting downstairs, and as soon <b>as </b>he saw them <b>return</b>, he <b>smiled </b>warmly, ‘Of course<b>, </b><b>I’m </b>
waiting <b>for you</b>.”
<b>First</b><b>, </b><b>Second</b><b>, </b><b>and </b><b>Fourth </b><b>got </b><b>out </b><b>of </b><b>the </b><b>car </b><b>and </b><b>called </b><b>out </b><b>in unison </b>when <b>they </b><b>saw </b><b>Grandpa</b>,
< Chapter 150 The n was quite clever.
“Great–grandfather!”

Upon seeing the little ones, Grandpa’s eyes lit up with affection. “Ah, my little treasures, are you all back <b>from </b>
school?<b>” </b>
“Yes, why are you here, Great–grandfather?” Fourth asked, snuggling up to him with a hint of a whine.
“Of course, I missed you all. Great–grandfather brought you some tasty treats, drinks, and fun things,”
Grandpa replied.
“Really?” Fourth’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Absolutely, a whole car full!” Grandpa gestured to the people behind him to start moving things upstairs.
As several workers began unloading the car and carrying things upstairs, Fourth’s eyes widened in
amazement.
“Great–grandfather, isn’t this too much?”
“Not at all, not at all. Great–grandfather didn’t know what you all liked, so I just picked a few things for you
and your brothers,” Grandpa said.
“Aw, Great–grandfather, you’re the best!” Fourth said, snuggling closer.
William Adler watched from the side, muttering under his breath, “No such thing as a free lunch.”
Even though he <i>spoke </i>quietly, Grandpa heard him. “This isn’t about favors; it’s about my love and care <b>for </b>the
children,” he responded.
William shot him a nce before heading upstairs.
<b>Mr. </b>Hodges <b>noticed </b>and <b>followed</b><b>, </b><b>holding </b><b>Fourth’s </b>hand.

Inside the elevator, Mr. Hodges looked at William. “Old Adler, Scarlett’s still recovering. Why did <b>you </b><b>agree </b><b>to </b>
discharge her?<b>” </b>
“What, are you trying to manage things in the Adler Family now?” William retorted.
“I’m not managing anything. I’m just concerned about Scarlett’s health!” Mr. Hodges replied.
“No worries, Scarlett’s injuries are just superficial. As long as she gets her medication on time, she’ll be fine.
Someone wille by to change her bandages,” William assured.
“Someone? Who?” Mr. Hodges caught onto the key detail.
“Yale Lowe, that handsome young man from the hospital. You’ve seen him,” William said, almost boasting. Whether it worked out or not, he enjoyed ruffling the Hodges Family’s feathers.
Mr. Hodges knew exactly what William was up to, but he couldn’t help but worry about Scarlett getting the
short end of the stick.
“Old Adler, I know what you’re thinking. You want to find Scarlett some stability, but I advise you not to rush. Have you really looked into Yale Lowe and his family?” Mr. Hodges cautioned.
His words came from a ce of concern, and William Adler understood. After speaking with Yale Lowe
today, he shared those worries.
But in front of Mr. Hodges, he couldn’t show weakness. Turning to him, William said<b>, </b>“So what if I know them? So what if I <b>don’t</b><b>? </b>Back when I knew your Hodges Family, my girl <b>still </b>got hurt<b>, </b><b>didn’t </b>she?<b>” </b>
Mr. <b>Hodges </b>was speechless.
<b>See</b><b>, </b><b>every </b><b>time </b>they reached <b>this </b><b>crucial </b><b>point</b><b>, </b><b>it </b>was like <b>a </b><b>magical </b><b>attack</b><b>! </b>

Could they ever have a pleasant conversation?
“I’m being serious here…”

“I’m serious too. Even if Yale Lowe isn’t reliable, your precious grandson shouldn’t even think about it.
Scarlett won’t marry into your Hodges Family, not now, not ever!”
Just then, the door dinged open, and William Adler turned and walked out first.
