Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234 Sometimes, you just have to speak the hard truth.

After they left, Scarlett Adler and Hugo Hodges got into their car and drove off.

As soon as they were in the car, Hugo picked up his phone.

“Henry Fallon, get someone to contact Summer Shaw’s agent. Tell them we’re considering her for our

company’s brand ambassador.”

Hearing this, Scarlett glanced up at Hugo.

On the other end of the line, Henry’s voice came through, “Uh, our company doesn’t need a brand

ambassador right now…”

“What if I insist on it?” Hugo asked.

“Well, it’s not impossible…”

“So, do I need your permission to do what I want now?” Hugo’s voice had a slight edge, hinting at his

displeasure.

Henry immediately backed down, “No, boss, that’s not what I meant!”

“Then stop wasting time!”

Henry didn’t want to argue, but the idea of suddenly hiring a brand ambassador, especially a female star,

made him uneasy.

Maybe the boss was up to something again, with new plans brewing?

After hesitating for a moment, Henry decided to speak up, “Boss, does your ex–wife know about you hiring

Summer Shaw as the ambassador?”

Hugo Hodges frowned, glancing at Scarlett Adler sitting nearby. She had clearly heard the conversation too,

pressing her lips together silently, curious about what Henry Fallon would say next.

“Is there a problem?” Hugo asked.

“I’m just worried about you. You’re pursuing the former boss’s wife. If she finds out, won’t that be awkward?”

Henry replied.

“Why would it be awkward?”

“What if she misunderstands your intentions? Then you wouldn’t be able to explain yourself even if you

jumped into the Nile River,” Henry said.

Scarlett listened, a slight smile tugging at her lips.

Hugo understood what Henry was getting at. “So, do you think I have some ulterior motive?”

I

Uh…

How would Henry know?

“Of course, boss, you’re doing it for the company’s image… definitely not for any other silly reason,” Henry

chuckled nervously over the phone.

“What if I do have other intentions?” Hugo asked.

On the other end of the line, Henry fell silent.

There was a moment of silence.

Scarlett Adler glanced at Hugo Hodges‘ phone, suspecting the call might have been disconnected.

After a long pause, Henry Fallon spoke up, “Boss, I just think… this isn’t right. Your ex–wife, she’s got both

looks and money. You always said you’d win her back, no matter how hard it is. Plus, there’s the kids to think

about. You can’t just…”

“Can’t just what?”

“In short, this isn’t good!” Henry insisted.

“So, you’re standing up for her?”

“I’m doing this for you!”

“Then do as I say!”

“Boss!!!” Henry was nearly frantic, “You’ll really regret this!”

Seeing how distressed Henry was, Scarlett suddenly intervened, “Stop teasing him.”

On the other end, Henry perked up at Scarlett’s voice, “The, the ex–boss is there?”

“What do you think?” Hugo replied.

“So, so…” Henry stammered, realizing all his worries might have been for nothing.

“Too much talking!” With that, Hugo Hodges hung up the phone and tossed it aside.

Scarlett Adler watched from nearby, smiling with her lips pressed together.

“Henry Fallon, he’s quite something,” Scarlett nodded in approval.

It was rare to see Scarlett smile like this. Even though it wasn’t a full–blown laugh, it was a genuine smile that

lit up her face beautifully.

Hugo noticed, his eyes brightening a bit. “You seem quite pleased with his performance?”

“Yes!” Scarlett nodded, not holding back her praise for Henry.

Hugo feigned dissatisfaction, “So, Henry’s already won you over. Does that mean he’ll report everything to

you from now on?”

Scarlett raised an eyebrow at that, “I didn’t win him over. It just shows you have someone with common

sense around you!”

Hugo squinted at her with a smile, “I actually wish you had won him over!”

At least it would mean Scarlett cared about him, wouldn’t it?

Scarlett Adler glanced up at him, fully aware of the underlying meaning in his words.

But clearly, she didn’t want to delve into it further and changed the subject. “Honestly, I think you don’t need

to specifically choose Summer Shaw as the spokesperson for Fourth.”

Knowing Scarlett was intentionally shifting the topic, Hugo Hodges didn’t press the matter. He replied, “I’m

just giving her a heads–up. As long as Fourth is doing well, I won’t shortchange her on resources.”

It was clear that Hugo was willing to go all out for his daughter.

Thinking of Summer Shaw, Scarlett added, “Summer Shaw… she’s quite decent.”

Decent?

Hearing Scarlett’s compliment, which didn’t seem insincere, Hugo’s eyes narrowed. Perhaps she knew

something already?

Hugo didn’t offer much explanation. Some things were best left in the past.

Even if it was all a façade, the hurt Scarlett had endured was real. That couldn’t be denied. All Hugo could do

now was try to make amends and spend the rest of his life proving himself.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of Rising Sun Tech.

It was the morning rush hour, and the entrance was bustling with people coming and going. When Hugo

Hodges parked his car there, it drew quite a few glances.

Scarlett Adler wasn’t one to shy away from attention. She turned to Hugo and said, “Thanks for giving me a

ride!”

Hugo smiled, “No need to thank me.”

Scarlett blinked, said nothing more, and stepped out of the car.

Just then, Ethan Underwood, Brent Carter, and East Hayes arrived.

The three of them were deep in conversation, looking a bit weary, but their eyes lit up when they saw

Scarlett.

“Ms. Adler!”

“Ms. Adler!”

Ethan and Brent called out in unison.

Scarlett turned around, and her lips curled into a smile when she saw the trio.

They quickly hurried over to her.

“Ms. Adler, are you… coming back to work?” Ethan asked.

“Yeah!” Scarlett Adler nodded, “I’ve rested enough.”

“Ah, finally you’re back! You have no idea how boring it was without you at the company!” Brent Carter

exclaimed, looking extremely excited.

East Hayes stood nearby with a subtle smile. His way of expressing himself was much more reserved.

“Boss, how’s your health?”

“I’m all better; otherwise, I wouldn’t be back at work,” Scarlett replied.

At this moment, Ethan Underwood and Brent exchanged a glance and then each stood on either side of her.

Scarlett frowned at them, “What are you guys up to?”

“Go ahead, ask!”

“Let’s walk and talk!” With that, Ethan and Brent flanked Scarlett and started walking inside.

“Can you guys be a bit more reserved?” East Hayes reminded them.

But Ethan and Brent were too focused on Scarlett to pay him any mind, guiding her further inside while East

watched with a knowing smile.

Feeling helpless, there was no choice but to follow along.

Meanwhile, Hugo Hodges, sitting in the car, watched the scene unfold and frowned in displeasure.
