Seeing Hugo’s name made Scarlett’s heart skip a beat.
Even without saying it, Scarlett could tell it was Hugo.
He was wearing that exact outfit when he left today…
Scarlett clicked on the video again, watching it carefully.
Though the footage was clear, the scene was dimly lit, making it hard to see much. But Scarlett could clearly see a stain spreading on Hugo’s abdomen…
She knew it was where he was hurt.
Her gaze grew darker.
Meanwhile, the group chat continued buzzing.
“Do you
think it’s true? Is it really Hugo?” a colleague gossiped.
“My friend swore it was him, what do
“Pics or it didn’t happen!”
you
think?”
“No photos, they were all deleted on demand. My friend said they have no idea how this video got leaked!”
“Why were they fighting?”
“That’s unclear… But rumor has it, a woman tried to hit on Hugo, got rejected, and then brought people to cause trouble. Didn’t expect it to backfire like this!”
“That woman must be crazy, can’t have the grapes so she wants someone to pick them for her?”
“The thing is, they couldn’t even take him down, and that fight was just so darn impressive!”

“I heard they found outter and were scared out of their wits!”
“I suddenly feel like mourning for those guys!”
“Deepest sympathies!”
Reading the chat in the group, Scarlett felt a bit annoyed.
She put down her phone and turned to herputer. After a few quick keystrokes, a blinking dot appeared
on the screen.
Seeing the location marked as a hospital, Scarlett’s expression calmed. She closed theptop and was
about to stand up.
Just then, her phone buzzed.
Scarlett picked it up to see a message from Yale. “Scarlett, are you still awake?”
“Not yet,” she replied.
“Do you have time tomorrow? I’d like to take you out for lunch.”
Scarlett thought for a moment. “Sure.”
“I’ll pick you up around noon.”
“OK!”
“Then get some rest. Goodnight!” Yale sent.
Scarlett didn’t reply, instead, she got up and headed to her bedroom.

Inside the hospital.
Henry had stayed up all night.
He spent the whole night thinking.
He kept pondering how to exinst night’s events to his boss once he woke up.
He thought about it so much that he ended up with dark circles under his eyes, yet he still didn’t have a
good answer.
He felt doomed.
Even if he survived, he’d be half dead.
As dawn broke, he even considered running away.
However, early in the morning, Mr. Hodges arrived.
Seeing this, Henry immediately went up to him, “Chairman, what brings you here?”
Mr. Hodges didn’t look pleased as he stared at Henry, “Why didn’t you tell me about such a big incident?”
From his tone, it was clear he already knew.
Henry lowered his head, “You know everything?”
“I know my grandson well enough, don’t 17” With that, he pushed the door open and walked inside.
At this moment, Hugo had just woken up, his head still aching a bit.
Seeing his grandfather storming in, he frowned slightly, “Grandpa, what are you doing here?”

“I came to see if you’re still alive!” Mr. Hodges said, exasperated.

Hugo replied, “…Why are you so angry this early? Who upset you?”
The old man walked towards him, a cold smile on his face. “Who dares <i>to </i>mess with me, huh?”
At this moment, Hugo nced over at Henry, who was standing by the <i>door</i>.
Henry quickly shook his head, wearing an expression that screamed, “It’s got <i>nothing </i><i>to </i><i>do </i>with me.”
“Impressive, isn’t it? You’re not even healed yet, and you’re out there picking fights, <i>one </i>against forty. How
grand!” The old man’s face was flushed with anger.
Hugo’s gaze locked onto Henry once more.
Henry looked like he was about to cry, silently protesting, “It’s really not my fault!”
Someone had the nerve to post the video online, and Henry was determined to find that person and give
them a piece of his mind!
The old man continued his tirade, “Hugo, I’m telling you, if you have a death wish, just go ahead. The
Hodges Family won’t be left without an heir anymore. Once you’re gone, I’ll find Scarlett and bring back a
child to inherit the family. Scarlett is kind–hearted; I’m sure she’ll agree. It’ll save me from dying of anger
because of you!”
Hugo was speechless.
Knowing the old man was just worried about him, Hugo didn’t dare to say much more.
Back in the day, Hugo Hodges decided to turn from the dark side to the light, entering the business world
mostly because of Grandpa Hodges. The Hodges Family had few connections, and Grandpa Hodges spent
his entire life supporting them. Losing his son early in life was a huge blow, and he persevered through the

Knowing he was at fault, Hugo spoke up, “Alright, I made you worry. You’ve scolded me enough, so calm
down. Don’t get yourself worked up!”
“You don’t need to worry about me; you’ve already scared me half to death!” Grandpa Hodges retorted.
Seeing how upset Grandpa was, Hugo tried to lighten the mood, “You’re overthinking it. You’re blessed
with a long life ahead, and you’ll be surrounded by great–grandchildren. Don’t worry, you’re not going
anywhere!”
Grandpa Hodges was both annoyed and helpless at Hugo’s attempt at humor.
“What exactly happened yesterday?” Grandpa asked.
“Just had a few drinks, that’s all. Nothing serious!” Hugo replied casually.
“Drinking? Why were you drinking out of the blue?” Grandpa pressed.
Hugo remained silent.
Grandpa squinted, looking at him knowingly, “Did you have a fight with Scarlett?”
The <i>mention </i>of Scarlett Adler made Hugo feel a bit heavy–hearted.
“No,” he replied.
“No? You didn’t go causing trouble on Yale Lowe’s turf?” the old man asked.
Hugo looked up at him. “You already know everything, so why ask me?”
The old man smirked coldly. “I’m not here to ask, I’m here to mock you. If you knew this would happen,
why did you act that way before?”
Hugo was speechless.
“What, feeling unsure now?”
< Chapter 160 You’re not going to make me angry; you’re going to scare me to death.
Hugo squinted at him. “Do I look unsure to you?”
The old man gave him a once–over. “From head to toe.”

“Then your eyes must be failing you. When ites to Scarlett Adler, I’m determined!” Hugo said,
emphasizing each word.
Hearing this, the old man’s eyes finally showed a hint of satisfaction.
<i>“</i>So, you’re admitting you’ve got feelings for her?”
Hugo’s expression was serious. Without yesterday’s events, he might not have been so clear, but now he
was certain.
“Yes, so just wait. I’ll definitely bring her back to be your granddaughter–inw!” Hugo dered, with
determination in his voice.
