Seeing the old man fall silent, Fourth spoke up, “Great–grandfather, I don’t want to be a sheltered flower, protected under

someone’s wing my whole life.”

The old man knew that Fourth’s intentions were good and right, but he still couldn’t shake his worries about her safety.

“Fourth, you’re still young and don’t understand the dangers of the world. When you grow up a bit, you’ll naturally

understand,” he said, trying to persuade her.

“If I’m always under your protection, I fear I’ll never understand the world’s dangers, no matter how old I get!” Fourth

replied.

The old man was at a loss for words against this little girl.

He pressed his lips together, scanning the room until his gaze landed on Scarlett.

“What do you think, Scarlett?” he asked, hoping someone would side with him.

To his surprise, Scarlett calmly replied, “Grandfather, I respect Fourth’s wishes.”

Despite being frightened by recent events, Scarlett understood that some things can’t be avoided by hiding. If Tiana

Young was truly determined, she would find a way to harm Fourth no matter where she was. So, one incident wouldn’t

scare Fourth into hiding.

After all, life is long, and the world won’t be especially kind to anyone just because there are “bad people.” What she could

do was help Fourth improve her defenses and adaptability in this complex world.

Unexpectedly, after Scarlett spoke, Mr. Adler furrowed his brows, surprised that Scarlett would agree.

After a moment of contemplation, he shifted his gaze to Hugo, and spoke with a hint of irritation, “Hugo, what do you

think?”

Suddenly, all eyes in the room turned to Hugo.

Hugo sat next to Fourth, legs crossed, his gaze originally fixed on Scarlett. But upon hearing Mr. Adler direct the

conversation to him, he frowned slightly.

As he hesitated about what to say, Fourth tugged at Hugo’s clothes, looking at him with a pleading expression.

Hugo was certainly worried, wishing he could protect Fourth, keeping her safe and carefree as she grew up. But he knew

that no matter how good the protection, he couldn’t be by her side every moment, nor for her entire life. The only way to

truly protect Fourth…

The way to do it is to teach her how to protect herself.

Scarlett Adler believed in respecting Fourth’s wishes, and she surely thought the same.

Thinking of this, Hugo spoke up, “Grandpa, I know you care deeply for Fourth, but there’s no such thing as a wall without

cracks, and no loophole that can’t be exploited. Protecting Fourth isn’t about hiding her away; it’s about teaching her how

to protect herself!”

Grandpa wasn’t in the mood to listen to reason. He looked directly at Hugo and asked, “Don’t give me all that nonsense.

Are you saying you agree with Fourth going back to acting?”

Hugo nodded.

Seeing this, Fourth immediately smiled.

Grandpa, however, was furious. He stood up abruptly, “Since you all feel this way, I have nothing more to say. I just want

Fourth to be safe, that’s all!” With that, he didn’t wait for a response and stormed out.

Everyone watched, unsure of what to say.

Fourth pouted, unhappy, “Great–grandfather seems upset…”

Hugo noticed and reassured her, “It’s okay. He’s just worried about your safety and needs some time to accept it. I’ll go

talk to him.”

Fourth nodded.

Watching Hugo leave, William stood up. “Alright, I’ll go.”

Looking at William, he said, “You young folks have your reasons, but you also need to understand us old–timers. Old

Hodges was so scared when he heard about Fourth’s accident that he nearly had a heart attack. His emotions are

understandable.”

Scarlett chimed in, “I didn’t consider Grandpa Hodges‘ feelings…”

“It’s on me, not you!” Hugo replied.

Seeing Hugo trying to protect Scarlett, William felt a bit relieved.

“Grandpa Adler, let me talk to Grandpa,” Hugo offered.

“If you go, it’ll only make things worse. I’ll handle it. I understand Old Hodges better than anyone.”

Hugo didn’t insist further, “Thank you for taking care of it.”

“Take care of Fourth,” William advised before heading out.

The director stood quietly on the side, not daring to make a sound.

He knew that he had brought up this topic, and a battle between the wealthy could blow him away at any moment. He

didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Just as he was pondering how to excuse himself, Hugo Hodges turned his gaze toward him.

“Is there anything else?”

The director quickly shook his head, “No, nothing.”

“Then you’re free to leave,” Hugo Hodges said, effectively dismissing him.

The director’s mouth twitched slightly before he said, “I’ll take my leave then.”

He glanced at the person sitting on the bed, “Fourth, take care and rest well. I’m heading out.”

Fourth nodded, “Goodbye, director.”

“Goodbye.”

With that, the director nodded to them both, stood up, and exited the hospital room.

As he closed the door, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

These past few days had been incredibly stressful.

First, Fourth went missing. Losing someone from the crew, especially a child, could spell disaster if someone decided to

post about it online. The entire crew would be in trouble.

Then there was Fourth’s identity….

Just thinking about Hugo Hodges‘ grim expression sent chills down the director’s spine.

Thankfully, Fourth was found and unharmed. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At that moment, Summer Shaw’s footsteps approached from behind.

“Director.”

Seeing Summer, the director wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Summer, are you planning to leave too?”

Summer looked at him. “Director, if Fourth returns to the set, you’ll need to keep her identity secret.”

The director frowned at this. “Why?”

“It’s Fourth’s request. She doesn’t want people thinking she got the role because of who she is.”

“That’s not the case at all!” The director dismissed the idea.

“But you know how people talk. And what if someone with bad intentions finds out who she is and kidnaps her for

ransom? It’s not impossible!” Summer explained.

Though it was just a casual remark, the director took it seriously.

Such things have happened before, like the kidnapping of stars. Given Fourth’s situation, it was entirely possible!

Thinking about it, the director felt a chill. It was like having a ticking time bomb nearby.

Is it too late for him to regret now?
