Inside the company, the shareholders were restless. This whole mess was due to Hugo Hodges‘ personal

issues, and they weren’t having it. They began to voice their grievances loudly within the company.

On the phone, Old Mr. Hodges heard about the situation and couldn’t help but chuckle coldly, “These old folks

are always like this. As soon as their interests are touched, they start barking. Never mind how much they’ve

earned lying around all these years. If the company really had a problem, who among them could handle it?

They’re all just barking dogs!”

After his rant, Old Mr. Hodges asked, “What are you planning to do about this?”

On the other end, Hugo’s voice was cool but with a hint of amusement, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ve got it under

control.”

Old Mr. Hodges trusted Hugo’s abilities. Though he was the founder of the Hodges Family Corporation, it

was indeed Hugo who had brought it to its current heights.

“Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing. If you need me to step in, just let me know,” Old Mr. Hodges

offered.

Hugo laughed, “Grandpa, are you underestimating your grandson? Come on, it’s just a little hiccup. Do you

really think it requires your personal intervention?”

“You rascal, I was just being polite. Do you really think I’d go? If I had the time, I’d rather visit my precious

great–grandchild!”

Just then, Fourth’s voice came from outside.

“Great–grandfather!”

Hearing this, Old Mr. Herrington paused, “Oh dear, I’m missing my great–grandchild so much I’m hearing

things!”

Uncle Evans, standing nearby, looked at the person walking in and laughed, “Sir, you’re not hearing things.

The little miss is really here!”

Old Mr. Herrington was taken aback and looked toward the door as Fourth rushed in.

Seeing Fourth, his eyes lit up, and he immediately hung up the phone to welcome her, “Oh, it’s my darling

Fourth! What brings you here?”

“I was worried about you, so I came with Great–Grandfather and Scarlett to see you!” Fourth replied.

As she spoke, Old Mr. Herrington’s face broke into a smile as he saw more people coming in, “Everyone’s

here!?”

“Great–grandfather!”

“Great–grandfather!”

First and Second walked over, greeting him with steady voices.

Old Mr. Herrington nodded repeatedly, feeling he couldn’t get enough of looking at these two children.

“Herrington Grandpa,” Scarlett Adler also greeted him.

“Scarlett’s here too,” Mr. Hodges beamed as he saw Scarlett Adler. He was so delighted, it was as if Scarlett had already become part of the Hodges family again.

Scarlett nodded politely. “How’s your health?”

“Me? I’m doing…” Mr. Hodges started to say he was fine, but then remembered they were there out of concern for him. He forced his smile away and sighed, “I’m alright, nothing much, just got quite a scare

yesterday.”

Uncle Evans looked on, puzzled. “…???”

But soon, he caught on to Mr. Hodges‘ intention and couldn’t help but lower his head to hide a chuckle.

Mr. Hodges noticed Uncle Evans‘ smile and gave him a knowing look. Uncle Evans quickly spoke up, “Yes,

indeed. The old man barely slept last night, but seeing you all here will surely lift his spirits. Please, enjoy

your chat while I prepare some tea!” With that, Uncle Evans went off to make the tea.

Scarlett watched, her eyes bright and clear, choosing not to say anything further.

At this moment, William Adler approached and couldn’t help but tease, “Old Hodges, you’ve seen so much in

your life. How come you’re getting jumpy at your age?”

“Ah, getting old, and my heart’s not doing well,” Grandpa Adler sighed, slumping into the couch with a

defeated look.

Seeing this, Ethan quickly approached him, “Don’t worry, Great–Grandpa, I’m here with you.”

“Yes, Great–Grandpa, everything will be fine,” Liam reassured.

“Relax, no matter what happens, you have us,” Alex added.

Watching these kids being so considerate, Grandpa Adler felt a wave of emotion, almost tearing up.

“Yes, just seeing you all makes me feel better.”

Speaking of which, Alex turned to Scarlett Adler, “Scarlett, I’d like to stay here for a few days to keep

Great–Grandpa company.”

Scarlett nodded, “Of course.”

Grandpa Adler’s eyes lit up at this.

“Ethan, Liam, why don’t you stay here with Alex to keep Great–Grandpa company too?” Scarlett suggested.

Both Ethan and Liarn nodded in agreement.

Grandpa Adler couldn’t help but smile, though he pretended to hesitate, “Will this be too much…”

“Oh, come on, don’t pretend. You’re happy, and that’s that,” William Adler couldn’t help but say.

In fact, bringing them here was exactly his intention.

Even though Grandpa Adler had been through countless battles over the years and had seen it all, age had

changed him a bit. Having a few kids around could help ease his mind.

But such tender words were never spoken by William Adler.

“Look at you, how could I not be happy with the kids staying to keep me company?” Grandpa Adler said.

William looked at him, pondering for a moment. “Alright, alright, but what really happened yesterday? The

news is all over the place, and I can’t tell what’s true and what’s not.”

With that, Grandpa Adler recounted the events of the previous day.

Upon hearing it, William frowned. “The Lowe Family is really shameless. This is too sneaky, dragging the

Hodges Group into the spotlight like this.”

“That’s exactly their goal!” Grandpa Adler replied.

Scarlett Adler thought for a moment and then spoke up directly, “This whole thing started because of me, but

the Lowe Family shifted the focus onto the Hodges Group. No matter what, I can’t escape responsibility for

this, and I will take the necessary actions.”

Old Mr. Hodges frowned immediately upon hearing this. “What nonsense are you talking about? If anyone

dares to bully you, they’re going against Grandpa Hodges. Even if Hugo Hodges doesn’t act, I’d risk the entire

Hodges Family to ensure they don’t underestimate you!” he declared.

Scarlett Adler didn’t doubt his words and felt a deep sense of gratitude.

“I understand, but that’s exactly why I can’t drag you and the Hodges Family into this,” Scarlett replied.

Old Mr. Hodges looked at her, his brows furrowing.

At that moment, Scarlett spoke up, “Grandpa, you should stay here with First and the others to keep Grandpa

Hodges company. I have something to take care of, so I’ll be going.”

“Where are you going?” William Adler asked, watching her closely.

Old Mr. Hodges also looked at her, “Yes, where are you heading?”

There was a sense that she was about to do something significant.

Scarlett gave a slight smile, “I’m going to do what I need to do.”
