“What’s it going to take for you to believe me? Do you really need to see it for yourself?” Nate asked. “If that’s
the case, I can make it happen!”
Tara stared directly at him, searching his eyes and expression for any hint of deception, but she found none.
His unwavering confidence made her reconsider.
“No need!” Tara stepped back, looking at him. “There’s no point now!”
With that, she turned to leave.
But her leg, scraped from jumping out of the car earlier, nearly gave way as she turned, causing her to
stumble.
Seeing this, Nate quickly stepped forward to steady her, his eyes filled with concern. “Are you okay?”
Tara recoiled as if he were a gue, immediately shaking him off. “Don’t touch me…”
Without another nce, she walked away, her spirit shattered.
Five years.
She had searched for him for five long years.
Never once did she think of giving up.
She wanted to tell him she’d no longer be stubborn, that she’d trust him, and things would get better…
Yet all her perseverance seemed like a cruel joke at this moment.

She walked forward, like a soulless shell, leaving a trail of blood on the ground with each step.
Nate watched her from behind, feeling as if something was squeezing his heart, making it hard to breathe.
Nearby, the truck driver stood watching them, helplessly muttering, “Hey, this isn’t my fault…”
Nate didn’t bother responding to him. Instead, he focused on Tara’s retreating figure and quickly followed her.
He grabbed her arm, “I’m taking you to the hospital!”
Just as he was about to lift her up, a knife suddenly pressed against his chest. “I said, don’t you dare touch
me!”
Seeing her cold expression, Nate didn’t back down. Instead, he stepped closer, allowing the tip of the knife to
cut through his shirt, drawing blood.
“If this makes you feel better, go ahead,” Nate said earnestly, looking into her eyes.
Tara’s eyes reddened, her whole body trembling. But in the next moment, she turned the knife towards her
own neck.
Nate’s brows furrowed instantly, “Tara…”
“Don’te any closer!” Tara’s gaze was unfamiliar, “You have someone you like, so stop messing with me!”
Nate wanted to say something, but the words wouldn’te out.
Seeing he didn’t move closer, Tara put away the knife and turned to leave.
Nate watched her walk away, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Tara limped along the road, and Nate followed at a distance, neither too close nor too far…

Fifteen years ago…
Nighttime.
After the birthday celebration, Hugo drove the three little ones home.
Scarlett was unusually quiet during the ride, and anyone could tell she had something on her mind, but no
one asked.
When the car reached the building, William hesitated for a moment before speaking, “It’s gettingte, I’ll take
them upstairs now.” He gave the three kids a look, signaling them to get out of the car.
In the past, William was the one who opposed them being alone together. Now that he was intentionally
giving them some alone time, the kids quickly picked up on it and followed him out of the car.
“Goodnight, Uncle!” Fourth waved at Hugo.
“Goodnight!” Hugo smiled.
Fourth then followed them upstairs, and as they walked, Fourth curiously remarked, “Grandpa actually wants
to give Mom and Dad some alone time!”
It was truly a first!
Second leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Well, it was after my brother and I persuaded Grandpa during
our trip to the grocery store. We really had to talk him into it, but it seems he listened!”
Fourth looked at him in surprise, “So, Grandpa’s not interfering anymore?”
“Well, it all depends on how Dad performs. At least, Great–Grandpa’s attitude is a good start!” First whispered

Fourth thought for a moment and nodded, “Makes sense!”
William Adler seemed to catch the little ones whispering behind him and spoke up, “Alright, no more secrets.
You’ve had a full day of fun, time to go back, wash up, and get some rest!”
Upon hearing William’s words, the three little ones obediently walked into the elevator without another word.
Meanwhile, in the car.
Hugo looked at Scarlett. “Your worries are written all over your face. Grandpa Adler seems really concerned.”
Mentioning this, Scarlett snapped back to reality, ncing outside without saying anything.
Hugo reached out and held her hand. “Scarlett, I hope I can be someone you trust because no matter what
happens, I’ll be by your side, supporting you without hesitation.”
Looking at him, Scarlett knew Hugo wanted her to share her thoughts, including her actions today.
But right now, Scarlett didn’t want to say anything. She looked at him and said, “Hugo, give me some time. I
need to sort all this out.”
Hugo paused for a moment as he looked at her, then nodded. “Alright, I’ll wait for you. Whenever you’re ready
to talk or need me, I’m always here.”
Scarlett nodded in response.
“Okay, it’s gettingte. Get some rest,” Hugo said, watching her.
Scarlett nodded again, and as Hugo opened the car door, she stepped out.

<b>“</b>I’ll wait for your call,” Hugo said, watching her.
Scarlett, feeling weighed down by her thoughts, simply nodded and headed inside.
Only after watching Scarlett disappear inside did Hugo get back into the car.
“Boss, about Ms. Adler…” Henry started to say, but Hugo interrupted, “Back to the hotel!”

“Uh? Boss, did you forget something?” Henry asked.
With just a look from Hugo, Henry immediately fell silent and drove straight to the hotel without another
word.

Hugo Hodges stared at the screen, his refined face tense, brows furrowed.
Henry Fallon was watching too, initially indifferent until Hugo appeared. During their standoff, when the man
reached behind him, Henry seemed to realize something and eximed, “Boss…”
Seeing others nearby, Henry quickly lowered his voice and leaned in to whisper, “Boss, it’s a gun…”
Thest person to get into the car wore a leather jacket over a short tee, and during the confrontation with Hugo, his eyes shed with murderous intent. When he reached behind him, the gun handle was briefly
visible.
Others might not notice, or even think twice about it, but for them, even a glimpse of the handle was enough
to identify it.
Hugo watched, not looking surprised, but instead turned to Henry, “Copy this video!”
Henry nodded, “Got it!”
At that moment, Hugo pulled out his phone and walked outside, dialing as he went.
“Ray, where are you? I need you to look into some people for me!”
