Irene’s brow furrowed as she listened. Her instincts told her that the man in front of her, with thest name
He, was someone important.
Before she could react, two or three men approached her, ready to escort her <i>out</i>.
Irene had never been treated with such disrespect. She looked at the manager, who was struggling to
maintain control. “Are you kidding me? They’re the ones causing trouble. Two men bullying <i>one </i>woman, and
you say I’m the troublemaker?”
The manager wasn’t interested in her exnation. “Ma’am, please cooperate, or we won’t hesitate to take
action.”
There was no way Irene would leave like this. “Do you even know who I am?”
The manager had had enough. “Take her out.”
Two men stepped forward to grab Irene and escort her out.
Just then, Yale walked in from outside. Seeing the situation, he quickly approached. “Mom, what’s going on?”
He reached out to stop the two security guards. “Hold on a second.”
Seeing Yale, Irene felt a glimmer of <i>hope </i>and immediately spoke up, feeling wronged. “Son, they’re bullying
me.”
Yale’s gaze shifted to William and the old man He. His brow furrowed. “Grandpa Adler?”
“Mr. Adler, is that you? What’s going on here?” Yale Lowe asked, clearly confused.
William Adler looked equally surprised. “Yale, is she your mother?”

Though he was reluctant, Yale nodded. “Yes, she is. Can someone tell me what’s happening?”
William’s expression turned even more ufortable, and he looked away, choosing <i>not </i>to speak.
Irene Gonzalez nced at Yale. “Yale, do you know them?”
Yale frowned, remaining silent.
Mr. Hodges raised an eyebrow, understanding the irony of the situation. It seemed like fate had <i>tied </i>them
together before they even realized it.
This was practically handing the Hodges Family an opportunity on a silver tter!
Despite feeling a tiny bit of satisfaction, Mr. Hodges maintained a calm andposed demeanor. He
feigned a cough before speaking, “She bumped into Fourth, didn’t apologize, and even threatened the two
kids, saying she’d teach them a lesson. She was quite rude, so I decided to give her a taste of her own
medicine.”
Yale turned his gaze toward Irene.
Irene shook her head. “That’s not how it happened. These two kids were blocking my way and wouldn’t let it <ol><li>go. I was just trying to scare them a little…” </li></ol>
Yale furrowed his brow<i>, </i>fully aware of his mother’s temperament.
Without saying more, he turned his attention to Fourth. He walked over, crouched down, and asked, “Fourth,
are you hurt anywhere?”
Fourth rubbed her head, which was a bit red but otherwise unscathed. “Just here, but it’s not too bad.”
“Did you feel wronged, Fourth? Uncle Lowe will apologize on her behalf, okay?”

“Irene!” Yale’s mother frowned.
Fourth listened and nodded. “Alright, for Uncle Lowe’s sake, I won’t be mad.”

Yale smiled and gently patted her head. Then he turned his gaze to First. “First, …”
“I don’t care. No need to apologize to me. As long as my sister’s okay with it. But if anyone bullies her, <i>no </i>
matter who it is, I won’t let it slide!” First said firmly.
Yale looked at him and smiled. “I understand, but still, I want to apologize to you.”
First looked at Yale and sighed helplessly.
He had always admired Yale for being such a gentle and gentlemanly man. It was just a pity…
After gaining forgiveness from the two kids, Yale stood up and looked at William and Mr. He. “Grandpa Adler,
Mr. He, it was indeed my mother’s fault today. Could we let this matter slide for my sake?”
William remained silent, a fire burning in his heart.
Mr. He closed his deep–set eyes briefly. “Since Yale has asked, let’s just let it go.”
With that, he signaled <i>to </i>the manager, who nodded and motioned for the two security guards to leave.
Seeing this, Mr. He approached William. “Alright, let’s go back and enjoy our meal. No need to ruin the mood!”
William didn’t say a word, not even sparing Yale a nce, and headed straight for the private room.
At this point, the manager bowed deeply to Mr. He. “Mr. He, I’ll arrange for two people to stand guard at the
door to ensure no one disturbs your meal. I’m here at your service, just let me know if you need anything.”
Mr. He nodded and, without another word, turned with the children and headed to the private room.

Watching them leave, Irene frowned in displeasure. “Who do they think they are, throwing their weight around
like that…” she muttered, still feeling indignant.
Yale furrowed his brow slightly and casually said in a low voice, “The Hodges Family, the economic
powerhouse of Port City, the ones Dad has always wanted to partner with.”
Hearing this, Irene froze on the spot.
She looked up at Yale, her eyes filled with disbelief, as if trying to confirm whether he had misspoken or if
she had misheard.
<b>“</b>Are you serious?” Irene asked, feeling a pang of anxiety.
Yale nodded.
Irene’s mind raced, and she quickly advised Yale, “Don’t let your dad find out about this. If he does, he’ll
definitely be upset.”
Yale looked at Irene, closed his eyes for a moment, and said nothing more.
The thought of what had just happened made Irene’s heart race with fear. If they offended the Hodges Family,
Lucian would certainly not let her off the hook.
No matter what, he couldn’t find out about this.
And just like that, themotion came to an end.
Nate watched from downstairs, a faint smile ying on his lips. “Those three kids are quite interesting. They
look like they’re being wronged, but in reality, each one is as clever as can be.”

Scarlett didn’t say a word, but as she looked away, a hint of anger flickered in her eyes.
Nate noticed her expression. “What’s up? Are you upset?”
She sat down to eat, her gaze thoughtful. “No.”
“No? With that look, it seems like someone’s in for trouble!” Natemented.

Scarlett remained silent, a barely noticeable smirk ying on her lips.
Then Nate remembered something. “Oh, weren’t you going to introduce me to <i>someone</i>? <i>Who </i>is it?”
“You’ll find out soon enough!”
“Can’t you bring them now?”
“It’s not convenient.”
Nate gave her a nce, his eyes alluring. “Alright, I’m getting more curious about who you’re going to
introduce me to.”
As Scarlett continued eating, something crossed her mind. “By the way, Tara Green is in Port City. Be careful
when you’re out <i>and </i>about.”
Nate had just picked up a bite of <i>food </i>when he heard the name. It dropped onto the table with a tter. He
looked up at Scarlett, “What did <i>you </i>say???”
