The news of the Hodges Group collaborating with the Lowe Enterprises spread quickly, creating quite a buzz.

It was the talk of the business world, known by everyone.

Initially, Lucian was worried that the contract hadn’t been signed yet and feared the Hodges Group might be

upset. However, the Hodges Group seemed unfazed by the rumors and continued to negotiate the contract

calmly, which put Lucian at ease.

The most significant outcome was that once the news broke, many companies started offering partnerships

to Lowe Enterprises. Even those exclusive parties he couldn’t usually get into sent him invitations. People

from various industries greeted him warmly and treated him with respect, all hoping to connect with the

Hodges Group indirectly. This newfound attention gave Lucian a great sense of satisfaction.

He suddenly felt like he had entered high society and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

He understood that all of this was thanks to the Hodges Group, which made him value the collaboration

even more, determined to make it happen!

Scarlett Adler wasn’t interested in business news. After spending two consecutive days at the company,

Ethan Underwood spoke up during a break, “Have you heard?”

“Are the Hodges Group really partnering with the Lowe Family business?”

Brent looked up, “It’s all over the place. How could I not know? What’s puzzling is why the Hodges Group

would suddenly partner with a small–to–medium enterprise. It’s quite intriguing!”

Scarlett didn’t lift her head, letting their conversation pass in one ear and out the other.

At that moment, Ethan turned to Scarlett, “Ms. Adler, are you aware of this?”

Scarlett looked up at him, “What?”

“The Hodges Group partnering with the Lowe Family business. Do you know the inside scoop?” Ethan asked.

It was then that Scarlett understood they were discussing Hugo Hodges‘ company collaborating with Yale

Lowe’s father’s business.

But recalling the incident at Sky Garden, knowing how protective old Mr. Hodges was, he surely wouldn’t

leave Hugo out of the loop. If he mentioned it, Hugo Hodges…

Why would they collaborate with the Lowe Family business?

Unless…

“Scarlett?” Ethan waved a hand in front of her face. “What are you thinking about?”

Scarlett snapped back to reality, lowering her gaze. “How would I know the details?”

Ethan exchanged a glance with Brent, then leaned in closer to her. “Scarlett, are you still trying to keep

something from us?”

“Keep what from you?” she replied, eyes fixed on her computer, not bothering to look up.

“Your connection with the Hodges Family Group…” Ethan hinted, his eyes narrowing mysteriously. “Don’t

think we don’t know. We’ve already guessed it!”

Scarlett paused, taken aback. “Is that so? If you’ve guessed, then you should know I have nothing to do with the Hodges Family Group!”

Ethan chuckled. “So, Scarlett, are you admitting it?”

She remained silent.

“Listen, you shouldn’t be so stubborn about cutting ties with the Hodges Family. Even if Hugo Hodges

inherits the company, you’ll still get a share. Just the crumbs would be enough for you to live comfortably

for the rest of your life!”

Scarlett picked up her water glass and took a calm sip.

“You two are siblings after all. You could see at the hospital that he cares about you. I doubt he’d leave you

with nothing…”

Pfft.

Scarlett spat out her water, splattering Ethan Underwood’s face.

Ethan froze, his face covered in droplets.

Brent Carter, watching from the side, couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ms. Adler… Is this your gift to me?” Ethan asked, looking at her in bewilderment.

Scarlett grabbed a napkin and slapped it onto his face.

Then she looked at him and asked, “Who said Hugo Hodges and I are siblings?”

“Aren’t you?” Brent asked, “That’s been the talk around the office. It’s the most logical conclusion we’ve come

to!”

Scarlett sighed, feeling a sudden concern for the future of the company.

The intelligence level around here…

Ethan calmly finished wiping his face and looked at her. “Scarlett, don’t deny it. I may not know what happened between you two, but rest assured, we won’t think less of you. We can’t choose our backgrounds,

but we respect your character, and I’ll always stand by you!”

Scarlett sighed again, glancing at him, too tired to explain.

She thought they had really figured it out, and she wasn’t planning to hide it.

But seeing their level of understanding… Scarlett decided not to bother explaining further.

After all, her past with Hugo wasn’t anything to boast about. Instead, Scarlett gave them a smile. “Thanks for

that!”

“No need for thanks, good friends stick together!” Ethan thumped his chest with a sense of camaraderie.

Irene had been trying to reach Yale for ages.

After countless calls, Yale finally picked up.

“Where are you?” Irene asked directly.

“If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Come back to the Lowe Family immediately and apologize to your dad. Tell him you’ll marry into the Lu

family!”

“I’ve made myself clear. I’m not getting married, and I’m not going back to the Lowe Family!”

“Yale!” Irene shouted angrily, but then lowered her voice, glancing around. “What exactly do you want? Even if

you don’t care about yourself, shouldn’t you consider me?”

suffer in the future. Mom, I just hope you’ll respect my decision this once… I want to choose my own path in

marriage,” Yale said over the phone.

Irene squinted her eyes. “All this talk, you just want to be with that woman, don’t you?”

Yale remained silent, not denying it.

“Who is this woman that has you so captivated? I want to meet her!”

“Mom, until you let go of your stubbornness, you won’t meet her. Let’s talk when you’re ready to understand,”

Yale replied, then hung up the phone.

“Yale! Yale!” Irene called out softly a couple of times, but the call had already been disconnected. When she

tried dialing again, all she got was a busy signal.

Frustrated, Irene slammed her phone down on the table.

At that moment, not far away, Tiana was sipping her coffee. Hearing the commotion from Irene’s call, a

smile crept onto her face.

She stood up and walked over. “Excuse me, are you Yale’s mom?” she asked with a friendly smile.

Irene squinted at the person in front of her. “And you are?”

“Hello, ma’am. I’m Tiana, a friend of Yale’s,” she introduced herself with a smile. “I recognized you from the

call earlier. May I sit down?”

Irene gave her a once–over and nodded.
