Seeing the situation, Lucian quickly asked, “Mr. Hodges, do you know my wife?”

Mr. Hodges let out a cold laugh. “Of course, I do. I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing your wife’s character
firsthand.”
Lucian frowned in confusion.
“Mommy, the day Great–Grandfather took us to Sky Garden for dinner, she bumped into me and yelled at me and my brother!” Fourth said, holding onto Scarlett’s hand.
With just one sentence, Fourth explained how Mr. Hodges had come to know Irene Gonzalez’s character.
“Yes, I know. I’ve already taught her a lesson for you,” Scarlett replied.
Fourth nodded firmly in response.
Lucian was left bewildered, trying to piece together what was going on.
At this moment, Mr. Hodges addressed everyone, “Originally, I wanted to introduce the new members of the Hodges Family at the company’s annual party today, but I didn’t expect it to happen this way.”
He glanced lovingly at the three children before looking back at the crowd. “But no matter the circumstances, this joy must be shared with everyone. Let me formally introduce these three children as our…”
“The bloodline of the Hodges Family, the treasure of the Hodges Family. We hope everyone will take good care of them in the future,” Mr. Hodges announced.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
Some had guessed it, but they hadn’t expected it to be true.

“Congratulations, Mr. Hodges!”
“Chairman Hodges, it’s a double blessing!”
“The Hodges Family just gained three children at once, truly enviable!”
The room filled with voices of congratulations.
But Lucian Lowe was frozen in place.
What was happening?
The child called the crazy woman in front of him “Mommy“? And being a child of the Hodges Family meant
that Hugo Hodges and the woman in front of him….
As Lucian realized this, it was like a disaster had struck him, and his face turned pale.
Everyone around could see it clearly now.
The relationship was obvious.
For the couple to accuse Scarlett Adler of seducing their son was utterly ridiculous.
The Lowe Family and the Hodges Family were worlds apart. Not to mention Hugo Hodges‘ looks and power, even a blind person could see which side was the better choice, right?
Lucian and Irene felt like a complete joke now.
After receiving everyone’s congratulations, Mr. Hodges turned his gaze to Lucian and Irene. “These three kids are treasures of the Hodges Family. I could overlook the conflict that happened at Sky Garden before, but
today, what happened again?”

“Mr. Hodges… nothing happened, it was all a misunderstanding!” Lucian quickly replied.

“A misunderstanding? Didn’t you just say our Scarlett was trying to seduce your son?” Mr. Hodges
questioned.
“No, no, it was really just a misunderstanding!” Lucian insisted.
“It seems our Hugo isn’t as impressive as your son. Someone from the Hodges Family, who we hoped would
marry into our family, supposedly tried to seduce your son… I’d love to see what makes your son so
extraordinary,” Mr. Hodges said slowly.
Lucian was almost ready to kneel. “No, it’s not like that… it truly was just a misunderstanding. It was her, she misunderstood!” Lucian pointed at Irene.
Mr. Hodges sneered, “You think a simple misunderstanding can settle this? Is Scarlett’s reputation something you can just casually tarnish?”
Lucian was on the verge of tears. “Mr. Hodges, we were wrong. We didn’t recognize greatness when we saw it…”
“The person you need to apologize to isn’t me!”
Realizing his mistake, Lucian quickly turned to Scarlett. “Miss Adler, Miss Adler, we were wrong. We failed to see your worth. Please, don’t hold it against us.”
Scarlett glanced at them coolly. “I’m not Mrs. Hodges, nor am I Mrs. Hodges. I haven’t agreed to marry him yet!”
See? That’s how confident she is. She doesn’t need anyone’s approval!
And they accused her of seducing their son? What, is their son some kind of prize?

Lucian was stunned, unsure of how to respond.
Mr. Hodges spoke up, “Enough. I’m not feeling well. Hugo, take care of this.”
“Got it, Grandpa!” Hugo replied.
With that, Mr. Hodges turned and left, taking the three little ones with him.
Worried that things might get too violent for them to watch.

As soon as Old Mr. He left, Lucian hurried over to Hugo. “Mr. Hodges, Mr. Hodges, I was wrong. We were
wrong.”
Hugo looked down at him, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips. “Mr. Lowe, I respected you, gave your
company a chance, and showed you plenty of courtesy. Yet, you came to ruin my event and insult my
woman… Tell me, how should I forgive you?”
Lucian froze at his words.
“Apologies aren’t just words. You need to show some real action, don’t you think?” Hugo’s eyes held a hint of indifference.
Lucian realized that offending the Hodges Family meant that even if he left this room, he wouldn’t be able to continue his business in Port City.
“Mr. Hodges, what do you want me to do?” Lucian asked, looking at him.
Hugo just smiled without answering. “What do you think?”
He glanced at Irene, who was lying on the ground, his gaze cold and dismissive. “Your woman bullied my child and insulted my woman… I haven’t decided what to do about that yet.”

“I–I understand!” Lucian said, striding directly toward Irene.
Irene was still in a daze. Seeing Lucian approach, she looked up at him, “Yao Dong…”
Smack!
Lucian slapped her hard across the face.
Irene was stunned. “Yao Dong, you…”

“Don’t call me that. Your stupidity ruined everything!” Lucian snapped at her.
Then, eager to distance himself, Lucian turned to Hugo. ‘Mr. Hodges, to be honest, there’s nothing official between us. She’s not my wife!”
“Oh, really?” Hugo’s voice had a slight edge of curiosity.
“She was just an old fling… My wife passed away, and I never remarried. That’s why I brought her along this time. But I never intended to offend you, Mr. Hodges. Rest assured, if it pleases you, I’ll cut all ties with her from now on!” Lucian declared.
Irene looked at Lucian with disbelief in her eyes, “Yao Dong…”
Hearing Lucian’s words, everyone immediately understood.
So, he was just the third wheel?
But this third wheel was way too arrogant!
Not knowing how to keep a low profile was one thing, but offending the wrong people was another.
Now, both Irene and Lucian had become the butt of everyone’s jokes.

“Mr. Hodges…” Lucian looked at Hugo, trembling with fear.

At this moment, Hugo turned his gaze to Scarlett, his expression filled with deep affection. “Scarlett, what do
you think?”
“Relax, want it all in”
