“No matter what happened, it’s all in the past. What’s important is the present. Treat Scarlett well and <b>don’t </b>
mess up again!” Grandpa Hodges advised, looking at him intently.
Hugo Hodges nced at his grandfather, a smile tugging at his lips. “Grandpa, thank you for telling me all
this today.”
His sudden politeness caught Grandpa Hodges off guard, and he scrutinized Hugo. “What are you up to now,
young man?<b>” </b>
“Nothing much. It’s just that your words today have made me even more determined. I won’t let her get hurt
ever again,” Hugo dered.
Hearing this, Grandpa Hodges smiled. “That’s the spirit of the Hodges Family!”
With that, Hugo stood up. “Grandpa, you should rest early. I have some things to do, so I’ll head back to my
room.”
“What could you possibly have to do thiste at night?” Grandpa Hodges asked.
Hugo just gave a mysterious smile and headed upstairs without another word.
“Always so secretive!” Grandpa Hodges shook his head with a sigh, then got up to retire to his room.
As Hugo entered his room, everything was spotless, meticulously cleaned.
This room had been specially prepared by Grandpa Hodges as a “wedding room” for him and Scarlett Adler.
Due to his resistance, he had never stayed in it.
But now, not only did he not resist, he was filled with endless anticipation for whaty ahead.

If Hugo Hodges had been a bit morepliant back then, would everything have turned out differently?
Thinking about it, Hugo’s lips curled into a smile. He knew there was no “what if.”
Although he missed out on a few years, and felt regret about the little ones, he still cherished his current
rtionship with Scarlett Adler. This feeling of excitement was unlike anything he had ever experienced.
He understood clearly that for two people to stay together, their rtionship must be built on a solid
foundation of emotions.
Instead of heading straight to bed, Hugo walked over to hisputer. As he opened it and ced his hand on the keyboard, he frowned.
Someone had used theputer.
Driven by curiosity, he checked the browser history, but there was nothing there.
Hugo furrowed his brow.
If there were some browsing history, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But the fact that there was none at all was what made it strange…
Besides, no <i>one </i>had stayed in this room except First. Could it have been him?
Hugo pondered, thinking it might have been a child messing around with theputer. He didn’t dwell on it
and simply entered a username and password, essing a particr interface.
“Help me investigate something from twenty years ago…”
Meanwhile, William Adler was driving, with Scarlett Adler sitting beside him.

William Adler nced at her. “Handling this situation sounds pretty dangerous, doesn’t <b>it</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>

Hearing William’s words, Scarlett Adler looked up at him and smiled. “It’s not dangerous. With the police around, I’m always in the back. Didn’t I promise you I wouldn’t put myself in harm’s way? So, it’s really not dangerous.”
William knew her words were mostly meant to reassure him.
“Scarlett,” he began, “even though your grandpa has set limits and expectations for you, it’s mostly because
he wants you to be safe. Do you understand?”
Scarlett nodded firmly. “Yes, Grandpa, I understand.”
“If, if…”
“Grandpa, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” Scarlett assured him.
Seeing the determination in her eyes, William realized she had grown up and understood everything.
He decided to leave it at that and not press further.
“By the way, if Lucian Lowe gets caught, you and Yale Lowe…”
Mentioning Yale Lowe, Scarlett’s eyes dimmed. “I hope he understands.”
William Adler couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, Yale Lowe is a really good kid. It’s a shame about his parents. Now,
Irene Gonzalez is in aa, and Lucian Lowe has been arrested… It’s quite sad!”
Scarlett Adler listened quietly, not saying anything.
“Fate can be cruel,” William mused, and then fell silent.

After parking, William joined them as they headed upstairs.
At the elevator, they waited until the doors opened, revealing Tara Green in a tight ck dress.
Upon seeing Scarlett, Tara paused for a moment before awkwardly greeting her, “What a coincidence, good evening…”
Scarlett smiled and nodded, “Good evening!”
For some reason, Tara felt a pang of guilt when she met Scarlett’s gaze. Just as she was about to make a quick exit, her eyes caught sight of the three little ones standing nearby, and she froze.
“This…”
Her eyes darted between the three of them, blinking several times, before finally settling on the eldest, First.
“What’s going on here?”
First had been nning to confess to Tara Green on his birthday, but now, he had run into her unexpectedly!
He gave an awkward smile and said, “Let me introduce you. This is my brother, Second, and this is my sister,
Fourth.”
“Are they your real siblings?”
“Triplets, all real!” First nodded.
Tara’s smile was a bit forced.
Turning around, she looked at Scarlett Adler and said, “It’s gettingte. Why don’t you all go upstairs and
rest<b>?</b><b>” </b>

“I… I have some things to discuss with him. I’ll take you backter!” Tara said with a strained smile.
At this moment, First looked at Scarlett, shaking his head vigorously.
Mom, please don’t!
To his surprise, Scarlett simply closed her eyes briefly and nodded with a smile, “Alright!”
First was speechless.
With that, she headed straight for the elevator.
Scarlett…
First screamed internally!
Meanwhile, Tara grabbed First and led him outside to talk.
Second and Fourth exchanged nces, feeling a bit bad about the situation. In the end, they looked at each
other and decided to follow them outside.
“They…”
“Grandpa, don’t worry, everything will be fine!” Scarlett Adler reassured.
William Adler thought for a moment, then nodded, following her upstairs.
Outside.
Tara Green red at First, her eyes wide with anger. “So, how do you want to meet your end?”
“Do I have a choice?”

Tara’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Of course, others don’t, but <i>you </i>do!”
“Can I… not die?” First asked cautiously.

“What do you think?” Tara stepped closer, her gaze intense enough to devour him.
In the next moment, Tara grabbed his shoulders and shook him vigorously. “First Adler, you lied to me again
and again!”
He had promised not to deceive her anymore!
The more Tara thought about it, the angrier she got. How could she be fooled by a kid repeatedly?
First felt dizzy from the shaking and quickly surrendered. “Okay, okay, I was wrong! I admit it!”
Tara finally stopped, her eyes still fuming as she looked at him.
“I wouldn’t call it lying, maybe just… not telling you everything?”
“You promised there wouldn’t be any more secrets between us!” Tara insisted.
First thought for a moment and realized he had indeed said that. “Well, should I apologize again?”
“A man’s words are nothing but lies!”
First was speechless, “…”
“So, Second and Fourth are the ones who teamed up with you for the match against Kunst time?” Tara
Green asked directly.
