Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Aren’t you afraid I’ll get a big head from all the things you’re doing for

me?

However, as Lucian Lowe turned around, several people immediately blocked his path.

Lucian was taken aback. What was going on?

He turned back and looked at the person in question, “What does this mean?”

The person said nothing, only giving a helpless look. Just then, several people in police uniforms appeared

from behind him and promptly handcuffed the man.

Soon after, Uncle Zhong and Scarlett Adler also stepped out.

Seeing them, Lucian immediately understood something. Without saying a word, he turned to run, but he was

quickly tackled to the ground.

Lucian struggled, “Let me go! What do you think you’re doing? Why are you arresting me? Let me go!”

At this moment, Uncle Zhong approached and looked at him, “Lucian Lowe, you’re suspected of being

involved in a murder–for–hire case. We have both witnesses and evidence. You need to come with us.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was just here to deliver some money. How does that make me

involved in murder–for–hire? What evidence do you have? Let me go, or I’ll sue you!”

Even now, Lucian continued to resist stubbornly.

Scarlett Adler then walked over, crouched down, and looked at him with cold eyes. “Mr. Lowe, there’s

something you should know.”

Lucian Lowe remained silent, glaring at her intensely.

“Irene Gonzalez isn’t just alive; she’s awake now,” Scarlett Adler said calmly.

Lucian’s face fell immediately.

For a moment, he was speechless.

“Before you had any concrete information, you fed the reporters the story that Irene Gonzalez was dead,

steering public opinion. Do you think everyone is a fool?” Scarlett retorted.

Lucian stayed silent, his gaze fixed on Scarlett. “It was you. You set this trap for me to fall into, didn’t you?!”

“I did set the trap, but whether you walked into it was entirely up to you, wasn’t it?”

“You-”

“Mr. Lowe, if you want to keep something secret, the best way is not to do it at all,” Scarlett said, enunciating

each word clearly.

Lucian looked into Scarlett’s eyes, wishing he could tear her apart.

“It was you! You ruined me! You!” Lucian suddenly screamed, struggling to break free and lunge at Scarlett.

“Stay still!” The officer pressed down on him harshly.

At that moment, Uncle Zhong stepped forward. “Alright, take him away. We’ll question him at the station.”

Several plainclothes officers picked up Lucian Lowe, handcuffed him, and led him outside.

As Scarlett Adler watched Lucian being taken away, there was not a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

Some people, in the end, sacrifice even the last shred of loyalty for their own gain.

Is it pitiful or just sad?

Uncle Zhong turned to Scarlett as they walked outside. “Ms. Adler, we couldn’t have done it without your help.

We truly appreciate it.”

Scarlett’s expression remained neutral as she looked at him and asked directly, “Once everything is clear, will

the Hodges Family get the justice they deserve?”

Uncle Zhong chuckled, “So, all of this was for Hugo?”

Scarlett’s eyes darkened. “The whole situation started because of me. The Hodges Family got caught up in it

because of me. I have to take responsibility.”

Uncle Zhong listened and nodded with a smile. Young people, he thought, always have a way of saying one

thing and meaning another.

“It seems Hugo didn’t misjudge you,” Uncle Zhong said.

Scarlett Adler frowned, but Uncle Zhong continued, “Don’t worry. Once the investigation is complete, the

results will be made public, and everything will be clear.”

Hearing this, Scarlett nodded. “Alright.”

Just then, a black car approached from a distance and stopped in front of them. Hugo Hodges stepped out

of the car.

Upon seeing him, Scarlett furrowed her brows.

Uncle Zhong maintained a calm smile. “That was quick.”

Hugo slammed the car door shut and strode toward Scarlett, his brow furrowed, his expression tense until

he reached her.

“Are you okay? Is everything alright?” Hugo asked, his eyes scanning her to ensure she was unharmed.

Scarlett wasn’t concerned about herself. Instead, she looked at him and asked, “How did you know I was

here?”

At that moment, Uncle John spoke up, “Oh, I told him. Before his shift, he called me, and I thought it was best

to let him know. I didn’t expect him to get here so quickly!”

Hearing this, Hugo Hodges turned his gaze toward him, “Uncle John, if anything happens to Scarlett, I won’t

let it go easily!”

His words were half–joking, half–serious, but they didn’t sound like a joke.

“You hear that? This kid wants to hold me accountable!” Uncle John chuckled, looking at Scarlett Adler, then

turned to Hugo. “You, Hugo, must have done something good in your past life to be so lucky. Alright, alright,

she’s safe and sound, so don’t blame me anymore.”

Seeing Scarlett was unharmed, Hugo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only he knew how anxious he had been

on his way there.

“Alright, you guys chat. I have things to handle at the station, so I’ll head out.” With that, Uncle John adjusted

his clothes and left.

Once he was gone, Hugo’s gaze finally settled on Scarlett. His deep eyes were like the ocean, intense and

filled with emotion as he looked at her.

“L…”

Before she could finish, Hugo Hodges pulled her into a tight embrace.

Scarlett Adler was stunned.

“Promise me, don’t ever do something like that again. It’s too dangerous. Compared to you, nothing else

matters!” Hugo’s voice was low and a bit hoarse.

“Actually… it wasn’t that dangerous,” Scarlett replied.

Hugo finally released her. “You know when someone is pushed to the edge, they can do anything. Aren’t

afraid of what Lucian Lowe might do to you?”

“But he might not be a match for me.”

Scarlett pursed her lips, her brow furrowed. “According to my plan, there shouldn’t be any surprises.”

Hugo looked at her and sighed, “Surprises are the things you never see coming.”

Scarlett had to admit he had a point.

Hugo gazed at her, his eyes filled with emotion, his voice still rough, “I’m just glad you’re okay.”

His emotions were so direct and intense that Scarlett didn’t know how to respond.

At that moment, Hugo Hodges leaned in closer, his deep voice slightly teasing, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll get a big

head with you doing all these things for me?”

A big head?

Scarlett Adler looked at Hugo.

“Scarlett, do you have feelings for me?” Hugo asked, his eyes filled with intense anticipation.

Otherwise, why would she take such risks and do these things for him?

Hugo’s gaze was so intense it felt like it could burn someone, leaving Scarlett unsure of what to say. She

instinctively looked away, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You do,” Hugo replied.

His gaze seemed to demand that she stop avoiding the truth.
