As expected, the moment Scarlett Adler stepped into the lobby, a wave ofmotion followed her.
Countless eyes turned her way, sparking a flurry of whispers.
Everyone assumed the Hodges Family had invited some celebrity, given her striking looks, figure, and aura-
qualities rarely seen in everyday life.
Some even took out their phones to snap photos.
“Who is she? Have you seen her before?”
“Nope, never seen her!”
“She’s stunning. Which family’s socialite is she?”
“She looks more like a star!”
“Could she be the new talent the Hodges Family is promoting?”
“I haven’t heard of the Hodges Family venturing into that field!”
“Wow, she’s so beautiful. If she debuted, she’d definitely be a hit!”
“Absolutely, she’s like a goddess!”
“Should we go ask her?”
“Are you crazy? Do you think anyone here is simple? Didn’t you see Hugo Hodges‘ assistant following her?
This woman is definitely connected to Hugo Hodges. You better not mess with someone you shouldn’t<b>, </b>or
who knows what might happen!”

“Let’s just watch for now!”
Many people whispered among themselves about Scarlett, while Henry Fallon observed the scene, having
anticipated such a reaction.
He was seriously starting to suspect that the boss had some hidden agenda!
His gaze fell on Scarlett, who seemedpletely unfazed, as if she hadn’t noticed anything at all.
Finding a quiet spot, he ordered a drink and sat down.
Not too far away stood Henry, and Scarlett frowned slightly as she looked at him. “Henry.”
“Yes!” Henry responded immediately.
“Isn’t this a big event? Aren’t you busy?”
“Busy, but…”
“If you’re busy, then go <i>do </i>your work.”
“The boss gave me a look, told me to take care of you,” Henry exined.
Scarlett’s lips curled into a smile. “I’m not a child. I won’t get lost. Rx, I’ll be right here. When he’s done, he
cane find me.”
“But…” Henry was about to say something when someone hurried over to him, whispering a few words in his
ear. Henry’s brow furrowed as he listened.
The next moment, Henry looked at Scarlett with a serious expression. “Ms. Adler, please rest here for a bit. I

Scarlett nodded, “Go ahead, go ahead.”
Henry didn’t waste any time and left immediately.
Once he was gone, Scarlett quietly let out a sigh of relief and felt more at ease.
She sat on the couch, holding a ss of champagne, sipping it leisurely.
She rarely attended events like this, mostly because she found them boring.
Watching the people at the party, all dressed to impress, mingling andughing, each with their own agenda
while pretending to be friendly–it was exhausting just to watch. She’d much rather be at home, enjoying a
good night’s sleep.
She wondered what had possessed her toe without even asking for details.
But since she was here, she might as well make the best of it.
After all, she was here to repay a favor, so Scarlett didn’t overthink it.
But as soon as she sat down, someone approached her for a chat.
“Hi, are you here alone?”
Scarlett nced at him coolly, “No.”
The person quickly smiled apologetically, “Sorry to bother you!”
She thought that would be the end of it, but soon a second, then a third person approached.

Scarlett frowned in annoyance, scanned the room, and then got up and headed to the other side.
The side door of the main hall led to a backyard. Most people were here for business, <i>so </i>they gathered in the
main hall. This area was much quieter.
The night had just fallen, bringing a gentle chill.
Scarlett felt unusuallyfortable, as if the air was infused with a sense of ease.
However, in this moment offort, a voice suddenly spoke from behind her.
“Scarlett.”
Upon hearing her name, she turned around and paused when she saw Yale. Her gaze flickered with a hint of
Yale was dressed in a sharp suit, a departure from his usual casual, charming attire, giving him a more
mature look.
It had been a while since shest saw him. He appeared leaner, and his once–clear eyes now carried a
weighty depth.
Seeing him, Scarlett’s lips curved slightly, “Long time no see.”
“It really is you!” Yale looked at her, his excitement tinged with a bit of mncholy.
He had noticed her the moment she walked in.
He knew she was beautiful, but he had never seen her dressed so formally before. Under the spotlight, she looked like an ethereal fairy untouched by the world.
She captivated everyone, including him, reigniting the unwillingness in his heart that he thought he had

Scarlett spoke, “It’s me. What, don’t I look like myself?”
“You’re so stunning, I almost didn’t recognize you!” he replied.
Scarlett’s lips twitched slightly, but she said nothing.
At that moment, Yale walked over to her. Standing in front of her, he hesitated for a while before bringing up
a rather unpleasant topic. “I called you so many times, and you never answered. I thought you really didn’t
want to talk to me anymore!”
Scarlett looked at him without saying a word.
Yale gazed at her. “I only found outter that my mom went to your office and caused a scene. I called to
apologize. I’m sorry for the trouble she caused you.”
Scarlett closed her eyes briefly. “Then you must also know about the conflict I had with her, right?”
Yale looked at her, his dark eyes filled with aplex mix of emotions.
“So, you don’t need to apologize to me because I didn’t hold back, and I won’t hold back. If you can ept
that, then there’s nothing for me <i>to </i>be upset about,” Scarlett said calmly, looking at him.
As long as he didn’t mind, Scarlett didn’t care either.
She wouldn’t judge Yale because of his mother’s actions. The reason she hadn’t answered his calls wasn’t
because she was angry. She simply didn’t know if Yale was calling to exin or to question her. She wasn’t
afraid of a rtionship reaching a breaking point. If there was a straightforward way, she preferred it.
But that was just her thought; it didn’t mean Yale Lowe felt the same way.

After a long pause, Yale finally spoke, “Even if I’m not there, I can imagine the awful things she would say and
do…”
Scarlett Adler remained silent.
Yale chuckled softly, “So, why would I me you? I’m just afraid you might think less of me…”
Having a mother like that was something Yale couldn’t escape from, a lifelong burden of helplessness and
frustration.
“I don’t,” Scarlett replied. “What she does has nothing to do with you.”
“Do you really think so?” Yale’s eyes seemed to spark with a glimmer of hope.
Scarlett nodded earnestly.
Yale looked at her, a smile tugging at his lips. “Scarlett, thank you.”
Scarlett met his gaze<i>, </i>pressing her lips together, but ultimately said nothing.
Then Yale looked at her, “By the way, you came here today because Hugo Hodges invited you, right?”
Scarlett didn’t deny it and nodded.
“Are you two… together?” Yale asked.
“No,” Scarlett said, “Just repaying a favor, going through the motions.
Yale looked at her, his eyes filled <i>with </i>emotion. “Scarlett, do I really have no chance at all?<i>” </i>
Just as Scarlett was about to respond, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
