In the office, the atmosphere instantly became lively with the return of Scarlett Adler.
Scarlett sat at her desk, surrounded by Ethan Underwood, Brent Carter, and a few other colleagues.
It felt like they were about to hold a public hearing.
From the Hodges Family annual party until now, they had umted so many questions. Even though they
had guessed most of it, they needed Scarlett to confirm.
“So, is everything in the news true?” Ethan asked, enunciating each word carefully.
Scarlett smiled at them, “There are so many news stories. Which one are you referring to?”
Brent stood up, “Of course, the one about you and Mr. Hodges. Did you really get married? Are those three
kids yours?”
Scarlett nced around at them and nodded, “Yes, but the news didn’t get everything right!”
“What do you mean by ‘not everything right‘?”
Scarlett gave a slight smile, “I mean, he’s my ex–husband.”
Everyone was stunned.
It was like they had just heard a juicy piece of gossip, and they all looked at each other in surprise.
“You two got divorced?”
Scarlett Adler nodded.

“Wh–why?” Ethan Underwood asked, thinking they were secretly married. He didn’t expect such a twist.
“To be precise, we’ve been divorced for many years. As for the reason… it’s <i>not </i>convenient to disclose,”
Scarlett said. Since the news was already out, there was nothing left to hide.
That’s just how it was.
“So, what about now?” Ethan asked.
At that moment, Brent Carter gave him a yful p on the back. “Do you even <i>need </i>to ask? They must have reconciled. You could tell from the way they were at the annual party!”
Ethan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Scarlett said, “We’re currently co–parenting.”
Everyone was taken aback.
“Not back together?” Brent was surprised.
Scarlett shook her head.
The group fell silent.
One was a golden bachelor, the other beautiful and charismatic.
They seemed like a perfect match, so why hadn’t they reconciled?
And judging by their demeanor, it didn’t seem like it…
A colleague couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Adler, <i>do </i>you really have a child?”
“Yeah!” Scarlett Adler nodded. “Really.”

“Your own child?” Her colleague was still skeptical. After all, looking at Scarlett, she didn’t seem like
someone who had a kid. She looked more like a teenager than a mom!
“You can’t tell at all…”
“Had them young, bounced back well!” Scarlett joked.
Her colleagueughed along. To everyone, divorce was supposed to be a sad affair, but with Scarlett, it
seemed like she was thriving instead.
Then another colleague chimed in, “Judging by Mr. Hodges‘ demeanor, he seems to be trying to get back
together, doesn’t he?”
Scarlett found it hard to answer that one. “Well…”
Hearing this, Ethan Underwood quickly nodded. “Absolutely!”
Before Scarlett could respond, Ethan and Brent Carter started chiming in. “Remember when we visited the
hospital? Mr. Hodges kept staring at us with that look. I knew something was up then.”
“Exactly, and at the annual party, the way Mr. Hodges was so protective–if he wasn’t interested, I wouldn’t
believe it.”
“Exactly!”
After saying that, both Brent Carter and Ethan Underwood turned to Scarlett Adler.
“We’re right, aren’t we?” Brent asked, raising an eyebrow.
Scarlett gave them a gentle smile, “As long as you’re happy.”
Just then, a colleague approached, looking at her with a mysterious expression, “Ms. Adler, the person who

drove you here this morning was Mr. Hodges, right?”
Uh–oh…
She was caught?

While Scarlett was pondering how to respond, someone else asked, “How do you know?”
“Someone snapped a photo and shared it in our work group chat,” the colleague replied.
Brent and Ethan quickly pulled out their phones and found the picture in the group chat.
The photo showed a car parked at the entrance, with Ethan and Brent standing on either side of Scarlett.
Upon seeing the photo, both of them were stunned.
“The person in the car behind is Mr. Hodges?” Ethan asked, holding up his phone and looking at Scarlett.
Scarlett Adler thought for a moment and then nodded, “He happened to be passing by and gave me a ride.”
Whether it was a coincidence or not didn’t matter.
What mattered was that the person in the car was indeed Hugo <i>Hodges</i>.
Ethan Underwood was speechless, “..

He immediately wore a bitter expression.
Seeing Ethan’s gloomy face, Brent Carter innocently asked, “Why the long face? Isn’t it Mr. Hodges? Doesn’t that confirm our suspicions?”
Ethan looked at Brent as if he was a fool, “Take another look at the photo, then look at us. Are you sure Mr.

Hodges won’t be jealous?”
Brent paused, and when he nced at the photo again, his expression soured.

A colleague nearby seized the opportunity to tease, “Judging by the angle of the photo, if nothing else, Mr.
Hodges is probably watching you guys from inside, and his mood… probably isn’t great.”
Ethan and Brent’s faces grew even more grim.
“If Mr. Hodges gets jealous, you might not even know how you disappeared from the face of the Earth.”
As their colleagues continued to tease, Ethan and Brent finally turned their gaze to Scarlett, looking utterly
pitiful.
“Ms. Adler…”
“It’s alright, sweetie!” Scarlett Adler smiled warmly, like she wasforting a child.
Ethan Underwood was speechless, “…
Brent Carter was equally silent, “…”
Even East Hayes, standing nearby, let out a relieved sigh, “At least I wasn’t that outrageous!”
The two of them turned to look at him, their eyes seemed to say, “Really?”
After a good round of gossip, everyone finally dispersed.
Despite the recent uproar over Scarlett Adler’s rtionship with Hugo Hodges being exposed, Scarlett
remained unchanged within thepany. She was still the same approachable Scarlett, without any airs.
She didn’t act entitled or boastful about her connection with Hugo. After all, she could have been the president’s wife, and even though they divorced, she was still the mother of his child, who could one day

inherit the Hodges Family Group. These facts remained unchanged, yet Scarlett never unted her status. If
it hadn’t been for the revtion, they might never have known. Her calm andposed demeanor earned
genuine respect from everyone.
It’s all about perspective!
As the excitement died down, Scarlett Adler got back to work.
Just then, someone walked in through the door. “Is Ms. Scarlett Adler here?”
“I’m here,” Scarlett replied instinctively, looking up. She was taken aback when she saw the delivery guy
holding a massive bouquet of red roses.
In front of everyone, the delivery guy walked over to Scarlett. “These flowers are from Mr. Hodges. Please
sign for them.”
“Ooh~” The office erupted in teasing noises.
Who would believe there was nothing going on?
Scarlett quickly signed the receipt, and the delivery guy added, “Mr. Hodges also asked me to tell you not to
work too hard. He’s always waiting for you toe home.”
With that, he left with a smile.
The office buzzed with teasing once more.
But Scarlett frowned. What on earth was Hugo Hodges up to?
