Hodges Family Corporation.
Hugo had just stepped out of the conference room when Henry quickly followed him.
“Boss…”
Inside the office, Hugo shrugged off his jacket and tossed it aside. He rolled up his sleeves, his ck shirt
entuating his refined demeanor.
He nced at Henry and asked, “What’s going on? Did something happen?”
Henry pressed his lips together. “We got news from Rising Sun Tech…”
Hugo had just taken a seat, and upon hearing this, his eyes narrowed slightly. “Go on.”
Henry stepped forward. “Today, Yale’s mother unexpectedly went to see Ms. Adler. She used her of
clinging to Yale and interfering with his engagement to the Lewis Group. She said a lot of unpleasant things,
even iming that Ms. Adler already has a child and isn’t suitable for their family…”
At this point, Henry cautiously observed Hugo.
Hugo’s expression darkened, and his gaze became more intense. “And then?”
“And then!” Henry Fallon began animatedly, “Ms. Adler justid out that woman’s past, including how she
drove Lucian Lowe’s first wife to despair. The woman clearly didn’t expect Ms. Adler to know all that and
almost got physical, but Ms. Adler pped her and threw her out of Rising Sun Tech!”
Hugo Hodges’s expression finally softened upon hearing this.
Of course, it was Scarlett Adler. She wouldn’t let herself be taken advantage of.

“But I heard the woman wouldn’t let it go, muttering about how the Lowe Family is backed by our Hodges
Family Group, and she even went as far as to call the police!” Henry said with a hint of amusement.
“Called the police?”
“Oh, but don’t worry. Ms. Adler is well–liked everyone sided with her, and no one came forward to testify.
Even the surveince footage was tampered with, so the woman had no choice but to drop it!” Henry added,
unable to suppress a chuckle. In the tech department, tweaking the surveince footage is a piece of cake,
isnt it?
Just thinking about it seemed so silly, yet so fun and exciting!
How he wished he had been there in person!
When Hugo Hodges heard about it, his expression finally softened a bit.
“Boss, are you really going to let them bully Ms. Adler like that?” Henry Fallon asked. “Even though Ms. Adler
wasn’t really hurt, shouldn’t we do something? They’re using this talk to pressure her, and we can’t just sit
back and do nothing!”
Upon hearing Henry’s words, Hugo looked up. “You’re in a hurry?”
“Of course I am!” Henry replied, but when he noticed Hugo’s amused look, he added, “I’m worried for you!”
Smart move!
Hugo withdrew his gaze and thought for a moment before addressing Henry. “By the way, doesn’t our
Henry thought for a moment. “Uh, it should be next month!”
“Move it up. Let’s schedule it for <b>two </b>days from now.”

“What?” Henry was taken aback. “That’s way too sudden! Every department needs to coordinate, two days
isn’t enough, boss…”
“Can’t handle it? Need a recement?” Hugo raised an eyebrow.
Henry quickly shut his mouth. “I’ll do my best…”
Only then did Hugo seem satisfied, closing his eyes. “Also, send an invitation <i>to </i>the Lowe Family business.
Make sure he brings Irene Gonzalez along!” Hugo said, emphasizing each word.
Originally, Henry’s mind was racing with things that needed sorting out, but upon hearing this, his eyes lit up.
He looked at Hugo, “Boss, are you nning to use this opportunity for Ms. Adler…?”
Hugo’s lips curled into a cold smile, his dark eyes gleaming with a chilling light. “I want to see just how high
the Lowe Family’s standards really are!”
Henry immediately understood.
This was a ssic case of going to battle for ady!
Henry was instantly energized. “Boss, don’t worry. In two days, everything will go smoothly!”
Daring to challenge the futuredy boss of the Hodges Family Group was simply asking for trouble!
With that, Henry turned and went off to handle the arrangements!
Not only should it be done well, but it should also be grand enough to impress the boss’s wife!

For the past two days, she hadn’t called or even sent a greeting.
Heartless!
Yet, despite <i>this</i>, <i>Hugo </i>couldn’t help but feel helpless. Thoughts of her gnawed at his heart like ants.

For some reason, just hearing her voice instantly lifted Hugo’s spirits.

“What are you up to?” Hugo asked.
“Buying desserts for Fourth!” she replied, and he could hear her saying, “This one will do.”
Hugo could almost picture Scarlett standing in front of the desserts, choosing with a smile.
“Is there a reason you called?” Scarlett asked directly.
Hugo suddenly remembered his purpose, “Are you free in two days?”
“What do you want?”
“I need your help with something!”
“No.” Scarlett replied without a second thought.
Hugo frowned. “Is it that you can’t, or you just don’t want to help?”
“Does it matter?” Scarlett shot back, indifferent.
With just a couple of sentences, Hugo felt like she could drive him up the wall.
“I promise, it’s really simple. You don’t need to do anything–just show up,” Hugo exined.
Scarlett raised an eyebrow.
“Don’t forget, you once said you owed me a favor. What, backing out already?” Hugo reminded her.
“But didn’t you say you didn’t want me to repay it?” Scarlett countered
Did she really have to be so particr about everything?

Hugo was worn down by her stubbornness, leaving him with no patience.
“I need you to repay it now, okay?” Hugo asked.
Scarlett thought for a moment, her brow arching slightly. “Okay.”
“So, you’re agreeing?” Hugo confirmed.
“Yeah,” Scarlett replied.
She was a woman of her word, and repaying Hugo’s favor would give her peace of mind.
<b>“</b>Alright, I’ll pick you up in two days.”
“No need, just give me the address, and I’ll get there myself.”
“Scarlett, can’t you act a bit more like ady?” Hugo asked.
“Ady?” Scarlett let out a soft smile. “Well, someone has to treat me like one first.”

Hugo paused, his dark eyes shifting in color. He closed his eyes. “Anyway, just wait at home. I’lle get
you.”
Scarlett didn’t argue further and simply replied, “Got it.”
Hugo fell silent.
Scarlett was quiet too.
After a few seconds, Scarlett spoke <b>up</b>, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
Hugo wanted to say something, but the words wouldn’te. Finally, he just said, “Okay.”
