It felt like she was back in her childhood, surrounded by mes as her parents met a tragic end.
Her father’s tattoo seemed to glow like a blooming lotus, emitting a blue light that grew increasingly vivid…
Suddenly, Scarlett opened her eyes.
She stared at the ceiling for a long time, dazed, until she heard the faint sounds of conversation outside.
Checking the time, she finally got up.
As she opened the door and stepped out, she found William and Hugo in the dining room, chatting over
breakfast.
Seeing her emerge, they paused their conversation.
“Why are you up so early today?” William asked, “Did we wake you?”
“No!” Scarlett replied casually.
Hugo nced at her, his brow furrowed. “You don’t look well. Are you feeling alright?”
“Just didn’t sleep well, it’s nothing,” Scarlett said dismissively.
She then looked around. “Where are the other three?”
“Fourth headed to the film set early, and First and Second went upstairs. That girl lives alone, and I thought it
was a bit sad, so I sent them up with some food,” William exined.
Speaking of which, Scarlett remembered the situation with Tara and Nate.

She nodded, choosing to remain silent.
Hugo focused on Scarlett, aware that she probably hadn’t rested well the night before. He was concerned
she might act impulsively, so he came over early.
“Have some of this. If you’re tired, you can rest a bitter,” Hugo said, carefully unpacking the breakfast he
brought and cing it in front of her.
Scarlett nodded, eating quietly, still lost in her thoughts.
Nearby, William watched, his gaze showing a hint of relief. Perhaps First and Second were right after all.
With that thought, he spoke up, “I’m done eating. You two take your time. I’m going to stretch my legs!” He
nced at Hugo before getting up and leaving.
From initial opposition to now giving them space, Hugo understood perfectly.
A’s William left, Hugo turned his attention to Scarlett. “You know, Grandpa Adler would be really worried
about you like this.”
Scarlett nced in the direction William had left, closing her eyes briefly. “Did Grandpa ask you?”
“Otherwise, would I be sitting here having breakfast?” Hugo replied with a question of his own.
Scarlett smiled slightly. “At least you know your ce.”
Hugo looked at her thoughtfully. “You might fool everyone else, but not Grandpa.”
Scarlett didn’t deny it. She never bothered to pretend because no matter how well she acted like everything
was fine, William could always see through her.
“Did you tell the truth?” Scarlett asked.

“Not exactly,” Hugo admitted. “Grandpa’s getting older, and he cares about you more than anything. If he
knew about all this, he’d lose sleep over it. So, some things are better kept from him.”
Listening to Hugo’s words, Scarlett’s eyes were filled with gratitude.
“Thank you,” she said.
Hugo looked at her firmly. “I told you yesterday, you never need to say those two words to me!”
Scarlett watched him, saying nothing more.
Besides a simple thank you, she really didn’t know what else to say.
But since he said it wasn’t necessary, Scarlett decided not to be overly polite.
She continued eating, still looking distracted. Hugo could tell she wasn’t ready to talk.
After a moment of thought, Hugo spoke up, “Does this have something to do with your parents‘ death?”
Scarlett paused, her eating halted as she looked up at him, surprise written all over her face.
“Seems like it does,” Hugo said, her reaction confirming his suspicion.
“How did you know?” Scarlett asked, “Or did you remember something?”
Hugo looked at her. It seemed Scarlett also knew about his memory loss, but she had never mentioned it to
him.
After a brief silence, Hugo replied, “My grandpa mentioned something about your childhood before. I just
guessed.”
Hearing this, Scarlett’s eyes dimmed, “Oh.” She nodded.

“Scarlett, tell me your reasoning. Why do you think they are connected to your parents‘ death?” Hugo asked,
looking at her intently.
Scarlett bit her lip, hesitating whether to share her thoughts.
After all, this was a personal matter, and she didn’t want <i>to </i>drag Hugo into it.
Besides, it was clear those people weren’t ordinary.
If they were truly involved, she knew the path of revenge would be dangerous…
“Is it because of the tattoo?” Hugo pressed on when she remained silent,
Scarlett’s gaze darkened as she looked at him.
“After I dropped you off yesterday, I went back to the hotel and checked the surveince footage,” Hugo revealed, addressing the question that had been on her mind.
So that’s how it was.
She hadn’t expected Hugo to go that far.
After pondering for a while, Scarlett said, “Hugo, I appreciate your concern, but this is my personal matter…”
Hearing this, Hugo narrowed his eyes. “What do
you
mean?”
Scarlett pressed her lips together and continued, “I mean, our rtionship ended a long time ago. This has nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to go out of your way to do these things for me.”
By the time Hugo Hodges spoke, he was already showing signs of anger. “Are you trying to push me away?”
“I’m just stating a fact!”

“The fact is, you know how I feel. You know I won’t just stand by, Scarlett. Saying this is pushing me away!”
Scarlett pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
“If it takes a rtionship to be involved in your affairs, then let’s remarry!” Hugo dered.
Scarlett looked at him, her brows furrowed.
“Where’s the marriage certificate?” Hugo asked.
“Hugo…”
“In your bedroom?” Hugo raised an eyebrow and started heading toward her bedroom.
Seeing this, Scarlett hurried after him. “Hugo, calm down…”
As Hugo entered the bedroom and was about to open her cab, Scarlett grabbed him from behind. “Can
you calm down…”
But in the next moment, Hugo suddenly turned around and pinned Scarlett against the wall, his arms trapping her. His eyes were icy as he looked at her. “Calm down? I want to be calm, but how can I be,
Scarlett?”
“What do I have to do for you to stop pushing me away, to stop treating me like an outsider?”
His eyes were filled with anger and hurt, leaving Lily unsure of what to say.
At that moment, Jack grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest, his voice heavy with emotion. “If I could, I’d show you my heart, just to prove that this time, it’s truly serious about you.”
He looked at her, emphasizing each word.

Lily leaned against the wall, tilting her head to meet his gaze, her hand resting on his chest, feeling the
strong, steady beat of his heart.
Thump, thump, thump.
It was as if each beat was responding to her.
