Chapter 198 If it’s what you want, that’s a different story.

“Why?” Hugo squinted his eyes.

“Because I’m blind.”

Hugo was speechless. He shouldn’t have expected anything nice to come out of Scarlett’s

mouth.

But knowing her temperament, he wasn’t upset.

Driving along, he kept the speed slow and steady.

“Actually, Fourth takes after you in one way,” Hugo suddenly said.

“What?”

“Looks,” he replied confidently, glancing sideways at her.

Scarlett rolled her eyes. “If you want to compliment yourself, no need to be so subtle!”

Hugo’s lips curled into a smile, his charm shining through.

The car fell into a comfortable silence.

“Scarlett,” Hugo broke it.

“Yeah?”

“Thank you for staying with them, and thank you for coming back,” he said.

Scarlett was momentarily taken aback. She turned to look at Hugo, and his gaze met hers. In

the dim light, his eyes flickered with emotion.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned to look out the window. “Everything I did was

just for myself,” she replied.

“No matter the reason, at least it gave me a chance to make amends and understand,” Hugo

said. “So, thank you.”

His sudden sentimentality was quite unusual.

Scarlett stared out the window, choosing silence.

Noticing her ears turning red, as if she was embarrassed, Hugo couldn’t help but smile. He

decided not to say more, and soon, the car pulled up outside her building.

As soon as the car stopped, Scarlett unbuckled her seatbelt. “Thanks for the ride. I’m heading

upstairs. Be careful on your way back.”

Just as she was about to leave, Hugo reached out and grabbed her hand.

“Not inviting me up for a bit?” he asked, looking at her.

Scarlett turned back, sizing him up. “What’s there to do?”

“Even a glass of water would be nice.”

“Turn left at the corner, there’s a store that sells water. I’m not inviting you,” Scarlett said,

ready to leave.

But Hugo held onto her hand tightly. “I want to drink water from your place!”

Scarlett was speechless.

“What, is that a problem?” Hugo asked.

Just as Scarlett was about to speak, Hugo smirked and asked, “Are you afraid I might try

something?”

“Is it really surprising if I have such thoughts?” Scarlett asked.

Hugo smiled and replied, “Not surprising at all, because I do have those thoughts.” He

admitted openly.

Scarlett looked at him in silence.

“Every man has those thoughts when he’s with the woman he loves. But don’t worry, until you

fully accept me, I won’t act like a beast,” he assured her.

“Really?” Scarlett questioned.

Hugo nodded, but then his gaze swept over her, his deep voice teasing, “But… if you want to,

that’s a different story!”

“Goodbye, I’m leaving.”

With that, Scarlett pulled her hand back and stepped out of the car.

With a thud, the car door was shut firmly.

Watching her walk away, Hugo’s smile widened.

Just then, his phone rang.

Hugo picked up the phone from beside him, and upon seeing Henry’s name, he frowned and

answered.

“Hello.”

“Boss, Yale is demanding to see you.”

Hearing this, Hugo’s eyes narrowed slightly. “No.”

“But he said if you don’t see him, he’ll have to go find Scarlett,” the voice on the phone

warned.

Hugo’s expression grew serious. After a moment of silence, he replied, “Tell him to wait.”

He hung up and looked upstairs for a while. Only when the light in the previously dark room

turned on did a smile finally appear on his face.

He picked up his phone, sent Scarlett a message, and then drove away.

Upstairs.

Scarlett had just entered her room when she saw the message from Hugo.

“Get some rest.”

Just four simple words, yet they seemed to carry so much meaning.

She paused, reflecting on everything that had happened that evening. It all felt like a dream-

so improbable, yet so seamlessly real.

Scarlett didn’t reply. Instead, she put her phone away, kicked off her heels, and headed to the

bathroom.

She needed a shower to clear her mind.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town.

Hugo drove straight to the Manor Hotel.

When he arrived, only Henry and Yale were left outside.

As the car door swung open and he stepped out, Henry approached him. “Boss, finally you’re

here…” he said, glancing at Yale and lowering his voice. “I think he’s here because of Lucian

and Irene…”

Hugo gave him a look but stayed silent. Just then, Yale strode over to him.

“Hugo, you bastard!” Yale shouted, throwing a punch without warning.

“Boss, watch out!” Henry called out.

With a loud thud, Yale’s fist connected with Hugo’s face, leaving a trace of blood at the corner

of his mouth.

Henry was surprised. “Boss, why didn’t you dodge?”

Hugo could have easily avoided it!

Hugo simply smiled, wiping the blood from his mouth. He looked at Yale with a challenging

gaze. “Is that all you’ve got?”

Yale, seemingly in a frenzy, lunged at Hugo again. Henry couldn’t understand what Hugo was

thinking; he could have dodged easily.

Yale Lowe knew he was no match for the boss.

“Boss…” He was so scared he almost closed his eyes.

But this time, just as his hand was about to reach Hugo, Hugo suddenly grabbed it.

“That punch was for Scarlett, Yale. Do you really think you can take me on?” Hugo asked

coldly, staring him down.

Yale glared back, his eyes filled with anger. “Hugo, you shouldn’t have insulted my parents!”

“Then you should keep them in check instead of letting them run wild!” Hugo replied, landing

a punch on Yale’s body.

That punch seemed to wake Yale up. He slowly turned his head to look at Hugo. “You never

intended to collaborate with the Lowe Family business, did you?”

“That’s right,” Hugo admitted. “Did you really think the Lowe Family had what it takes to get

through the Hodges Family’s doors?”

Yale sneered, “So, all the groundwork you laid was just for tonight?”

Hugo didn’t deny it, his eyes dark and intense.

Yale’s fists clenched tightly, his eyes filled with hatred. “Killing someone is one thing, but

you’ve gone too far, Hugo!”

“Too far?” Hugo suddenly let out a cold laugh. “Yale, I thought you were smarter than this. If

your parents hadn’t started trouble at the party, do you think any of this would have

happened? Even if I wanted to cause them trouble, would I have had the chance?”

“Hugo, don’t try to make it sound so noble. This was all your setup, just waiting for them to

fall into the trap!”

“Yes, you’re right. But if they hadn’t walked into it, what could I have done to them? What, your

parents are special, and others‘ aren’t? They bullied my kid and caused a scene at the party,

insulting Scarlett. I didn’t have them thrown out, and that was me being generous. Yale, if you

can’t keep your parents in check, don’t blame others for stepping in!” Hugo said coldly,

emphasizing each word.
