Scarlett got up and headed outside.
William had just returned and saw her, smiling as he spoke, “Awake, kiddo?”
“Yeah!” Scarlett nodded.

Noticing her pale face, William frowned, “What’s wrong? You don’t look so good.”
Scarlett thought for a moment, then looked at him, “I dreamed about the day when Mom and Dad weren’t
there…”
William was momentarily taken aback, then said, “Kiddo, it’s all in the past.”
“The fire wasn’t an ident, and their death wasn’t either!” she insisted.
William instinctively looked away, “There were so many witnesses back then, and the investigation results
were clear.”
“If that’s true, then why won’t you let me do what Dad wanted to do?” Scarlett asked.
William turned back to her, “I just want you to live a simple life. Why do you have to pursue that?”
“Grandpa, I’m not insisting on it. You won’t let me because you think it’s rted to Dad’s death,” Scarlett
replied.
For as long as she could remember, Scarlett had always listened to her grandfather, William. Even when
she wanted to investigate something, she did it quietly, never openly discussing or arguing with him like
she was now.
She wasn’t sure what hade over her–maybe it was the dream, or perhaps it was just a bad mood.
William looked at her with a resigned expression.

He understood Scarlett well, knowing she had a natural talent forputers since she was young. He
didn’t fully grasp what the online world was like, but he knew it must be a dangerous ce. After all, it had
imed his father’s life.
The reason he kept Scarlett away from it was partly out of fear for her safety, and partly because he didn’t
want her to discover the truth and seek revenge. He didn’t want her to live a life consumed by hatred; he
just wanted her to be safe and happy.
Thinking of this, William looked at her and said, “In the end, you’re the only family I have left. I just want
you to be okay. Nothing else matters to me.” With that, he turned to leave.
“Grandpa!”
Scarlett suddenly called out to him.
Watching his retreating figure, she spoke again, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to argue with you…
William’s shoulders visibly shook at her words.
Scarlett walked over to him and said, “Grandpa, I just wanted to tell you that I’m not a kid anymore. I
understand things now. But don’t worry, what you’re concerned about won’t happen. I’ll take care of myself
so you don’t have to worry.”
William turned <i>to </i><i>look </i>at her, his lips moved slightly, but he ended up saying nothing.
“Alright, I’m going to freshen up. I need to head out in a bit,” Scarlett said with a smile, easing the tension.
“You’re still not fully recovered. Where are you going?” William asked.
“Yale invited me for a meal. I’ll be back soon!” Scarlett replied.
Hearing this, William nodded repeatedly. “Go ahead, get yourself ready.”

Just as she was about to leave, Scarlett suddenly remembered something and looked at William.
“Grandpa, I just dreamt about how he saved me when we were kids…”
William paused for a moment, then looked at her. “But he doesn’t remember it now.”
Scarlett smiled and said nothing more, then got up to freshen up.
Watching Scarlett walk away, William felt a flicker of helplessness in his eyes.
After freshening up and putting on a lightyer of makeup, Scarlett stepped out the door. By the time she
left her room, William was nowhere to be seen.
Scarlett knew she had acted impulsively earlier. She had held back for so long, only to almost lose control
because of a dream.
She took a moment topose herself before heading downstairs.
Yale was on the phone downstairs. He nced over and was momentarily stunned when he saw Scarlett.
She wore a light yellow fitted dress that made her already fair skin seem to glow. Her long, wavy hair
cascaded down her back, and her slender, tall figure made her look like a model on a runway. She was
breathtakingly beautiful, making it hard for anyone to look away.
In that moment, Yale felt a pang of jealousy.
Jealous of Hugo, who once had this woman.
If only she were his!
Ending the call, Yale opened the car door and stepped out.

“Sorry to keep you waiting!” Scarlett said as she approached him.
Yale shook his head, “No, I just got here too!”
“Where are we going?” Scarlett asked directly.
Yale, ever the gentleman, opened the car door for her. “I’ve got a ce in mind. You’ll find out when we get
there.”
Scarlett nced at him and, without much thought, got into the car.
As Yale drove, he asionally nced at Scarlett.
She was in a bad mood, her thoughts far from him. The dress she wore was meant to cover the small
wounds on her body, and she hadn’t realized how stunning she looked even in such a casual outfit.
Unaware of her own beauty, that was Scarlett.
After driving for over half an hour, they arrived at a restaurant.
Yale handed the car over to the valet, and they walked inside together.
The upscale restaurant wasn’t crowded, but those dining there were undoubtedly wealthy or influential.
The moment Scarlett walked in, she captured everyone’s attention. She didn’t notice, but Yale did. As a
man, his vanity was satisfied at that moment.
With a smile tugging at his lips, he led Scarlett further inside.
Yale found a seat by the window and gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Scarlett.
“Thank you.”
“You’re wee!”
Once they were seated, Yale looked at her. “You haven’t said much on the way here. Is something

Scarlett shook her head, though she seemed a bit down. “No, nothing.”
She said nothing was wrong, but Yale could tell she had something on her mind.
“Is it about Hugo?” he asked.

Scarlett nced at him. “Why do you ask?”
“Because I can’t think of anything else,” Yale replied with a warm smile.
Scarlett’s lips curved slightly. “In a woman’s world, there are plenty of worries, not just men.”
