A few minutes later.

The bar floor was littered with people.

Hugo stood among them, his eyes tinged with red and a hint of bloodthirsty excitement in his gaze.

Despite the fight reopening the wound on his abdomen, soaking his dark shirt with blood, he still stood like a defiant king,

a mischievous and reckless smile playing on his lips.

It seemed that only this kind of madness could temporarily make him forget the restlessness and displeasure in his heart.

Seeing the situation, someone had already quietly informed the bar’s owner.

When Yale arrived, this was the scene he walked into.

The bar was in shambles, smashed to pieces, with dozens of people sprawled on the floor, keeping a cautious distance of

several feet from Hugo, both fearful and wary.

Someone spotted Yale and shouted, “Boss.”

“The boss is here!”

At that moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Yale. He stood among the crowd, patting someone’s shoulder, and a path

automatically cleared for him as he walked through.

Upon seeing Yale, Hugo’s smile grew even more reckless.

Yale looked different today, abandoning his usual sunny style for a mature and sophisticated dark outfit.

“Mr. Hodges,” Yale addressed Hugo.

“Finally decided to show your face?” Hugo sneered, lowering his voice. “I thought you were planning to hide behind the

scenes forever.”

Yale glanced around, maintaining his gentlemanly smile. “Mr. Hodges, if you wanted to see me, you could have just called.

No need for all this fuss; it wouldn’t be good if you got hurt.”

As innocent as he seemed before, now he was just as seasoned. After all, people like them never truly appeared clean and

innocent. Only someone like Scarlett Adler might believe that.

Hugo stepped forward, looking at him. “The second son of the Lowe Family, the secret owner of this bar… doesn’t quite

match your usual refined persona, does it?”

Yale narrowed his eyes slightly, observing Hugo without speaking. Hugo had clearly come prepared, having already dug

into his background. Denying it would be pointless.

“Mr. Hodges, feel free to speak your mind,” Yale said, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor.

“Stay away from Scarlett Adler,” Hugo said seriously, looking him straight in the eye.

Yale smiled.

This was the real reason he had come to “find” him today.

Though he wasn’t sure what had set him off, his arrival certainly stirred something within him.

“And what if I don’t?” Yale asked, his once clear eyes now looking rather shrewd.

Hugo chuckled, his voice low and raspy, with a mysterious smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “Yale, don’t push me

to take action against you.”

“Is Mr. Hodges threatening me?”

“You could see it that way,” Hugo replied.

Yale looked at him. “I thought Mr. Hodges wanted to compete with me fairly. I didn’t expect you to use power to pressure

1. me. I admit I don’t have as much influence here as you do, but Hodges, I’m not a rabbit waiting to be slaughtered!”

Hugo stared at him.

“I wonder if Scarlett knows about your behavior?” Yale asked.

“What, are you going to tattle?” Hugo asked.

“Maybe I will!”

Hugo looked at him, and Yale met his gaze.

Their eyes locked, and the tension between them was palpable.

At that moment, Hugo smirked, “Yale, when you marry into the Lewis Family, I’ll make sure to send a generous gift!”

Mentioning this made Yale’s face darken instantly.

“Stop messing with Scarlett. If she gets hurt because of you, I won’t let you or the Lowe Family off easily!” Hugo said

before standing up to leave.

“I won’t give up on her!” Yale suddenly declared, turning to look at Hugo. “I’ve never agreed to the Lowe Family’s arranged

marriage. The only person I want is her!”

Hugo closed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips. He said nothing more and walked away.

Watching Hugo’s retreating figure, Yale’s previously handsome face turned grim…

As Hugo left, someone approached Yale. “Boss, are we just going to let him walk away like that? What about the damage

to our bar?”

“Have someone clean it up. I’ll cover all the losses,” Yale replied.

“But…”

“He’s Hugo,” Yale stated simply.

The man’s face was filled with surprise upon hearing the name.

Not many had seen Hugo, but anyone with connections knew his surname and reputation.

The Hodges Family controlled the economic lifeline of Port City, and even a small move from them could shake the entire

city.

Hugo was the head of the Hodges Family, wielding immense power.

Rumor had it that Hugo had influence in both legal and illegal circles….

The man couldn’t believe they had actually tangled with Hugo today…

His legs began to tremble involuntarily.

Seeing his silence, Yale spoke up, “Don’t worry, he’s looking for me. He won’t trouble you over this.”

“But you…”

“I’m fine. Go handle your business. No one is to speak of what happened today!”

“I understand!”

As the man walked away, Yale scanned the surroundings with a complex gaze.

Just then, a figure approached.

“Are you Mr. Lowe?”

A soft voice called from behind.

Yale turned, frowning at the person behind him. “And you are?”

She stepped forward, extending her hand. “Hi, I’m Tiana!”

Yale looked down at her outstretched hand, showing no intention of shaking it.

Tiana didn’t mind and pulled her hand back. “Alright, let me introduce myself. I used to work at the Hodges Family

Corporation and was quite close with Hugo Hodges,” she said.

Yale squinted at her, his mind racing.

He had done his homework; the woman in front of him seemed to be Hugo Hodges‘ rumored fiancée!

“Used to?” Yale asked.

Tiana didn’t hide anything. “Yes, I’ve left the Hodges Family Corporation.”

“So, what do you want from me?” Yale inquired.

I’ve seen you before. You were at a café with Scarlett Adler, eating and chatting,” she said.

“And so?”

“You like Scarlett Adler!” It was a statement, not a question.

“I do like Scarlett Adler, but you… you seem to have some hostility towards her,” Yale said, hitting the nail on the head.

Tiana was surprised by his directness, paused for a moment, and then nodded, not denying it. “Yes, I can’t stand her

because she took someone she shouldn’t have.”

Yale knew she was referring to Hugo.

“So, what about it?” he asked.

Tiana stepped closer, her eyes shining with confidence. “I think we can work together to get what we both want!”

Yale squinted slightly, as if he was sizing her up…
