Scarlett Adler was equally surprised.
Previously, they were just trying to get Summer to be the face of Fourth. Now, they were talking about
starting an entertainmentpany?
Summer remained silent. In the face of such capital, she felt too insignificant and powerless.
Scarlett nced at her and reminded, “Fourth might just be a passing fancy. It might notst.”
Hugo Hodges, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, with an attitude that suggested he wouldn’t mind throwing
a few million dors around as long as it made his daughter happy.
However, Hugo spoke seriously, “This isn’t just about Fourth. The entertainment industry is trending
positively, and the Hodges Family has always been interested in expanding. It’s just a timely opportunity.”
Summer thought, “…”
Why did she find that so hard to believe?
Scarlett expressed her stance, “I still hope Fourth can develop freely!”
Hugo seemed to have anticipated this concern. He reassured her, “Don’t worry, this investment is from my personal funds. Although it has the backing of the Hodges Family, it won’t operate under the Hodges name.”
“In the name of family, I’ll make sure Fourth’s identity is protected and won’t be exposed. No one will know who she is,” Hugo Hodges assured. “And if Fourth insists on continuing, things might get busier. We might not be able to keep an eye on everything, so I’m just hiring some professionals to handle Fourth’s contracts.

Someone’s got to do it, and it’s better to have our own people handle it. This doesn’t interfere with her
freedom to develop, right?”
Hugo’s reasoning wasn’t entirely off the mark.
They might not be able to support Fourth in this area.
Scarlett Adler looked at him. “Have you thought this through?”
Hugo nodded.

Summer Shaw was taken aback. “<b>???</b><b>” </b>

Summer’s gaze shifted to Scarlett, still reeling from the previous shock, and now even more surprised,
staring at Scarlett in disbelief.
Could she be another hidden powerhouse?
At that moment, Hugo looked at her, eyes narrowing slightly, a smirk ying on his lips. “You’re going to
invest? How much?”
“As long as it’s more than you,” Scarlett Adler said thoughtfully, her expression serious.
Summer Shaw chimed in, “As expected from a big shot!”
Hugo Hodges continued to look at her. “So, are you going to be the boss?”
“I’ll just hold shares, not manage,” Scarlett replied.
Hugo squinted his eyes. “Are you afraid I’ll steal your daughter?”
“You could say that,” Scarlett said with a smile.
Hugo looked at her, his eyes filled with aplex mix of emotions, including amusement.
Meanwhile, Summer Shaw was at a loss for what expression to wear. She turned to Fourth, who was eating
without a care in the world,pletely unfazed.
Summer took a deep breath, unsure if the two in front of her were showing off their wealth or their affection.
Either way, she felt like she was witnessing a spectacle.
It was supposed to be a simple contract discussion, so how did it escte to this?

After a long pause, Hugo finally nodded. “OK, no problem.”
He knew that once Scarlett made a decision, it wasn’t easily changed.

Rather than refuse, it was better to let her be involved. Hugo was curious to see what other mysteriesy
behind Scarlett’s enigmatic facade.
Scarlett Adler sipped her red wine, her face calm and indifferent.
At that moment, Hugo Hodges turned to Summer Shaw, “Once everything is in ce, someone will get in
touch with you.”
Summer nodded eagerly, “Sure, no rush. We’ve got plenty of time!”
Hugo nodded in agreement.
Soon, the waiter brought their food.
Summer stood up, “I’m just going to the restroom!” With that, she got up and left.
Fourth spoke up, “I’ll go too!”
“Let’s go!”
So, Summer took Fourth along with her.
At the table, Scarlett and Hugo continued eating, sharing a silent understanding.
Seeing Summer and Fourth getting along so well, Scarlett felt relieved.

In the restroom, Summer looked at Fourth, her eyes showing a hint of envy. This kid was like the center of
everyone’s attention.
Even the phrase “darling of the heavens” seemed insufficient to describe her.
Sometimes, people really do have different fates, even if they’re the same kind of people.
Summer Shaw felt a genuine sense of envy. Growing up without much love, she was both shocked and
envious at the scene before her. Why were parents so different, even though they were all parents?
Thinking back on her own past…
Summer’s lips curled into a bitter smile.
Noticing Summer lost in thought, Little Fourth spoke up, “Summer, are you okay? Are you unhappy?”
Summer snapped back to reality and smiled at her, “It’s nothing. It’s just that your mom and dad love you so
much.”
Talking about this, Little Fourth also smiled and nodded vigorously, “Yeah, they do! I also have two brothers,
a great–grandfather, and a grandfather, and they all love me!”
As she spoke about her family, her eyes were filled with happiness–a true, heartfelt happiness.
This little girl was living the life Summer had always dreamed of.
Watching her, Summer’s lips formed a gentle smile.
Suddenly, she remembered something, “By the way, Fourth, why do you call your dad ‘uncle‘?”
“Uh, I got used to it before and haven’t changed it yet,” Fourth replied.

Summer squinted in confusion, and Fourth sighed before exining, “Well, it’s because Dad wanted to
divorce Scarlett, so he asked you guys to act out a scene with him.”
“When we left the country heartbroken after the divorce, I couldn’t just start calling him ‘Dad‘ again <i>now </i>that
we’ve reunited,” Alex exined simply.
Hearing this, Summer Shaw gave an awkward smile. “Well, back then, I didn’t think it through… Life was
tough, but it was all just an act, nothing more!” Summer said.
“Forget it, it’s not your fault. If anyone’s to me, it’s Dad,” Alex replied.
“Understanding is everything!” Summer agreed, then looked at Alex and asked, “What about your mom? You
don’t seem to call her ‘Mom‘ either!”
Alexughed, “When Scarlett was younger, calling her ‘Mom‘ abroad made people think she was underage,
which was a hassle. So we just called her Scarlett, and it stuck.”
Summer nodded, but another question popped into her mind.
“So, what does your mom do?” Summer asked. “She seems pretty impressive.”
“She’s a programmer!” Alex said casually.
“A programmer… Are they that rich?” Summer frowned, knowing that starting an entertainmentpany
wasn’t cheap. She was aware of that much.
Fourth paused for a moment before speaking, “Scarlett sometimes helps others with projects too. I don’t
<i>know </i>the details, but money isn’t really an issue for her!”
Fourth’s words were casual, but Summer Shaw increasingly felt that this family… was just too much like a humblebrag!
