Uh…

Tara Green had thought it would be tough to convince Scarlett, but to her surprise, Scarlett agreed with a sudden change

of heart.

And not only that, but she also entrusted the person to her.

Initially, Tara didn’t think much of it, but now she felt a heavy sense of responsibility.

This was probably what Scarlett wanted–to make sure Tara remembered her warning and took this matter seriously.

Thinking about it, Tara looked at her, “You’re leaving all three to me… Do you really trust me that much?”

Scarlett nodded.

“Why?” Tara asked.

“Maybe because… I understand you?!” Scarlett raised an eyebrow.

“Understand? You mean, you understand me?” Tara asked.

“Yes!” Scarlett nodded.

“How could that be…” Tara chuckled, looking at Scarlett, whose gaze was firm and not joking at all.

“We haven’t spent much time together. How could you understand me?” Tara questioned,

At this moment, Scarlett looked at her and said slowly, “Because I can read minds!”

Tara stared at her for several seconds.

“Mind reading?” Tara asked, puzzled.

Scarlett nodded earnestly.

“Does that really exist in this world?” Tara expressed her disbelief.

“Why not? Mind reading is a form of psychology, just under a different name. If you’re skilled enough, you can read people

like a book,” Scarlett explained, looking at her.

Tara looked at her, lost in thought for a while.

Perhaps it was Scarlett’s straightforward nature that made her seem unlikely to lie, so Tara found herself somewhat

convinced.

The most important thing was, if this were true, it would explain why she always felt uneasy around Scarlett, as if Scarlett

could see right through her.

Mind reading…

So that’s it.

As Tara was pondering this, First walked over.

“Tara, Scarlett, what are you two chatting about?” First asked, leaning in.

“Nothing much, just casual talk!” Scarlett smiled at him, “Why aren’t you resting yet?”

“Uh, I need to talk to Tara,” First said.

Scarlett glanced at Tara and nodded, “Go ahead!”

“What about you, Scarlett?”

“I’m finishing this drink and then heading to bed,” Scarlett said, swirling her glass.

First nodded, “Alright, goodnight, Scarlett. Sweet dreams!”

“Mm!”

With that, First gave Tara a look, and she snapped out of her thoughts, joining him as they walked away.

As they walked, Tara seemed a bit distracted.

“What’s up?” First asked.

Tara looked at him, frowning, “First, why didn’t you tell me your mom can read minds?”

First was taken aback, “Read minds?”

“Yeah!” Tara said, letting out a long sigh. “I always wondered why I felt so uneasy around your mom. Now it makes sense!”

First blinked, “Scarlett told you that?”

“Yeah!”

First asked, “What else did you two talk about?”

Speaking of which, Tara Green began, “Scarlett is worried about your safety. She made me promise to protect you all in the

future!”

First paused for a moment, glancing back to see Scarlett still under the pavilion, sipping her wine. Her posture was

relaxed, yet there was an indescribable beauty in her solitude.

This was probably a mother’s most genuine concern for her children.

She said nothing, yet arranged everything quietly behind the scenes.

First couldn’t help but feel a lump in his throat.

“What are you doing?” Tara waved a hand in front of him, snapping him back to reality.

He collected himself, shook his head, and asked, “Nothing. What else did she say?”

Tara continued, “I asked why your mom trusted me so much. She said it was because she knows me well, and then we

ended up here!”

First thought, “…”

Scarlett’s so–called understanding probably meant she had investigated Tara thoroughly.

But that’s not something you say outright, so she called it mind–reading…

Thinking about it, First couldn’t help but wonder, when did Scarlett become such a smooth talker?

Indeed, being around someone for a long time can rub off on you. This must be the influence of spending so much time

with Dad.

But you couldn’t blame Tara for being gullible enough to believe it.

With Scarlett’s face, people would believe anything she said!

She wasn’t much of a talker and rarely smiled, which made her seem trustworthy.

Even he might have believed her if he didn’t know better…

As First was pondering this, Tara interrupted, “What are you thinking about?”

First snapped back to reality, “Oh, nothing!”

Tara still looked skeptical, eyeing First, “Does Scarlett really have mind–reading powers?”

“She…” First started to say but then remembered Tara’s earlier threat if he lied again… things might not end well.

With that in mind, First held back and said, “Maybe… she’s even more powerful than mind–reading.”

Tara didn’t question it further, simply accepting First’s words.

“Is Scarlett really that amazing?”

“What else? Why do you think the three of us are so smart?” First replied.

“Isn’t it because of Hugo?” Tara Green questioned.

“But my dad is completely under my mom’s spell, so who do you think has the upper hand?”

“Hugo is under your mom’s spell because he’s blinded by attraction!” Tara insisted, sounding quite justified.

First looked at Tara, momentarily at a loss for words. Sometimes, he couldn’t blame himself for not being entirely honest.

He had hinted so obviously…

Yet she managed to find a perfectly reasonable explanation for all his hints.

So reasonable that he couldn’t argue against it!

Thinking about this, First gazed at her with deep sympathy. “Tara, you should be grateful you don’t rely on your brain to

make a living!” With that, he shook his head and turned to leave before she could respond.

Tara watched his retreating figure, her brow furrowing in displeasure. “Wait, what do you mean by that? Explain yourself.”

“First!”

“No explanation needed!”

Meanwhile, Scarlett was nearly done with her drink, the bottle almost empty, and she decided it was time to rest.

However, as she stood up, her legs gave way, and suddenly, a hand reached out to steady her.

As Scarlett Adler lifted her gaze, Hugo’s distinguished face loomed larger before her.

Seeing him, Scarlett’s lips curled into a smile, “Hugo?”

Hugo loved the way she said his name, like she was playfully dependent on him, filled with a sense of reliance.

Especially in the dark of night, her voice carried an extra layer of allure.

Watching her, Hugo’s eyes were filled with emotion.

“Drunk?” he asked, his husky voice tinged with restraint.

Scarlett shook her head, “No, just a bit of a tingle in my feet!”
