Hugo, however, appeared extremelyposed. His gaze was cold as he looked at the person lying on the
ground, then a cold smile appeared on his lips. “Uncle Evans, call an ambnce and report this to the
police!”
Seeing Hugo’s demeanor, Uncle Evans quickly regained hisposure, nodded, and went to carry out the
orders.
At that moment, outside, the sh of cameras was blinding. A swarm of reporters had appeared from
nowhere, snapping photos of the Hodges family. Although they couldn’t enter the courtyard, they were close
enough to capture the scene.
Hugo nced outside, then back at Lucian Lowe, who was lying on the ground. “Mr. Lowe, quite the move
you’ve made!”
Luciany in a pool of blood, looking barely alive, yet he still managed to speak. “Hugo Hodges, you forced
my hand. If you won’t let the Lowe family go, then the Hodges Group won’t have it easy either!”
Hugo’s smile widened, as if he didn’t take Lucian’s words seriously at all.
“I’m curious to see what else you can do,” Hugo Hodges said.
Lucian Lowe looked at him, his eyes filled with fear and dread.
“Mr. Hodges, if you would just spare the Lowe Family, I can tell everyone that everything that happened was
just a misunderstanding…”

Lucian was stunned.
Soon, the ambnce arrived.
He watched as the paramedics began their work, cing Lucian on a stretcher and carrying him away.
As they were about to leave, Hugo looked at him. “Oh, Mr. Lowe, I almost <i>forgot </i>to tell <i>you</i>. I hadn’t nned
on doing anything to the Lowe Family, but now… I’ve changed my mind. You’ve sessfully ruined the Lowe
Family business.”
Lucian froze, grabbing Hugo’s sleeve. “Hugo Hodges, what are you nning?”
Hugo just smiled, saying nothing.
“Hugo Hodges, are you even human?”
Hugo remained silent.
“Hugo Hodges, leave some room for mercy. If you push me to the edge, even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!”
The rescue team quickly carried him away.
Soon, the police arrived, led by Officer Zhong, who wore his uniform with an air of authority.
Upon seeing Hugo Hodges, Officer Zhong furrowed his brow, “It’s you again!”
“Officer Zhong,” Hugo greeted casually, “Sorry to trouble you sote.”
“What happened here?”

Hugo nced up, “The surveince footage will exin everything. You can see for yourself.”
Officer Zhong looked toward the direction of the cameras and then instructed his team, “Make copies of the
footage.”
After that, he turned to Hugo, “Where’s the old man?”
“Inside.”
“When will you stop causing trouble for him?” With that, he headed inside.
The news spread quickly across the inte.
By the next day, various news outlets were flooded with videos and photos of Lucian Lowe kneeling in the
Hodges Family yard, and lying bloodied on the ground.
Additionally, Irene Gonzalez’s ident, which left her in aa, was also shared online. Many narratives
pointed fingers at Hugo, using him of being a capitalist who disregards human life.
Anyway, all signs pointed to Hugo Hodges.
Early in the morning, arge crowd of reporters gathered at the entrance of the Hodges Family Corporation,
The three little ones had already seen the news and were huddled together discussing it.
Fourth looked worried, her brows furrowed. “I knew when Daddy left yesterday, something was up.”
Second nodded seriously. “It’s obvious someone is deliberately targeting him.

First watched the news, staying silent.
“Brother!” Fourth turned her gaze to First.
Seeing him remain silent, Fourth frowned. “I want to hack and take down all this news,”
First stopped her immediately. “Mom’s still at home, are you crazy?”
“But… they’re all badmouthing Daddy!” Fourth protested, unwilling to let it go.
“Do you think the Hodges Family Corporation can’t handle this?” First countered.
“What do you mean?”

“With the status of the Hodges Family Corporation, whether it’s using money or influence, can’t they
suppress this news?” First questioned.
“You mean… Daddy’s doing this on purpose?” Fourth asked.
“I’m not sure, but I know he definitely has a way,” Alex said, still having faith in Hugo Hodges‘ abilities.
After all, having the genes of the three of them couldn’t be solely attributed to Scarlett Adler.
Besides looks, Alex felt he shared some simrities with Hugo Hodges.
Listening intently, Jamie furrowed his brows with worry. “All this uncertainty, what do we do now?” Jamie
asked. “If Dad didn’t do it on purpose, are we just going to let these people bully him?”
Alex thought for a moment and gestured toward Scarlett Adler’s room.
“What do you mean?” Jamie asked.

“We can’t intervene directly, but someone who sees this won’t just stand by!” Alex said with a smile.
Chris nodded in agreement. “I agree.”
Jamie paused for a moment, then suddenly understood.
“I get it!” he eximed, a smile spreading across his face as he grabbed his phone <i>and </i>dashed toward
Scarlett Adler’s room.
Scarlett was sleeping soundly, oblivious to the world.
“Scarlett, Scarlett!” Jamie shouted as he pushed open the door and jumped onto her bed.
Scarlett Adler heard the noise and pulled the nket over her head, trying to continue sleeping.
“Scarlett, something happened!” her younger sibling, Alex, said urgently.
“Just let me sleep a little longer!”
“Scarlett, <i>you </i>can’t sleep now, look!” Alex insisted, cing a phone right in front of Scarlett’s face.
The room was still dim, with the curtains drawn, and the sudden brightness of the screen made Scarlett
squint.
“After Dad left yesterday, someone caused a scene at the old house, and it almost turned deadly!” Alex
exined.
Hearing this, Scarlett paused, then reached out to take the phone from Alex.
As she read the news on the screen, Scarlett’s brow furrowed.
“When Dad left yesterday, he probably thought it would be too much trouble to take us along,” Alex

continued. “He never expected something like this to happen. This morning, all these news stories came out,
and now everyone is criticizing Dad!” Alex pouted, hoping their mom would step in and defend their dad
against the online bacsh.
To their surprise, Scarlett nced at the phone briefly, then got up and walked out of the room.
Fourth followed closely behind.
In the living room, William Adler had just finished a phone call. Seeing Scarlett Adler walk in, he asked, “Did
you hear?”
Scarlett nodded. “How’s Grandpa Hodge?”
“Just called. He’s fine,” William replied.
Scarlett let out a sigh of relief.
“But I’m still a bit worried. I want to go check on him. Do you want toe with me?” William asked.
Even though <i>he </i>didn’t want Scarlett to have any more ties with the Hodges Family, given the urgency of the situation, and <i>knowing </i><i>how </i>much Grandpa Hodge cared for Scarlett, William decided it was best to bring her
along.
Scarlett nodded decisively. “I’ll wash my face and then we can go.”
With that, she turned and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
A few minutester, the family headed to the Hodges Family’s old estate.
