Clearly, Andy Adler didn’t expect Hugo Hodges to be so blunt, and his face turned a shade of dark red.

“Hugo Hodges, I’m still your elder, you know. How can you speak to me like that?” Andy demanded angrily,

glaring at him.

Being spoken to like this in front of two women was a blow to Andy’s pride.

Hugo’s lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at Andy with disdain. “Elder? Mr. Adler, you’re giving yourself too much credit. You’re just a shareholder in the Hodges Family Group. An elder? You’re not

“You-” Andy glared at him, “Hugo Hodges, I’m at least as old as your father and a founding member of the

company. It’s not too much to call myself an elder. Are you really that disrespectful?”

“Disrespectful? I’d need to see a person to show respect,” Hugo replied nonchalantly.

“Hugo Hodges!” Andy shouted in frustration, his eyes fixed on Hugo, but he was powerless to do anything.

In the past, Hugo would at least pretend to be polite when he saw Andy. But ever since Andy tried to impeach

him and got outmaneuvered instead, Hugo had stopped pretending altogether. Now, in the company, Hugo…

had been effectively sidelined. Aside from some shares, he had no real control anymore.

Surprisingly, he didn’t even bother to pretend to care.

After staring at him for a while, Andy Adler spoke up, “Hugo Hodges, as someone who’s been around the

block, let me give you a piece of advice: young people shouldn’t be too arrogant. Be careful not to shoot

yourself in the foot!”

Hugo simply smiled, “Mr. Adler, you should watch your own step. After all, those who walk by the river

often…”

His words were calm, yet carried a strong sense of threat.

Andy glared at him, fists clenched.

“Hmph, just you wait!” he snorted, flicking his sleeve as he stormed off.

Watching him leave, Hugo’s lips curled into a barely visible smile.

Tiana Young stood there, watching Andy leave, then turned her gaze to Hugo.

This man might be reckless, but he had the means to back it up.

Even his arrogance was captivating.

Looking at him, Tiana couldn’t help but feel moved. “Hugo, thank you for standing up for me!”

At that moment, Hugo Hodges

Hugo Hodges glanced at her, but the sparkle in his eyes was long gone, as if he were looking at a stranger.

“You’re overthinking. I wasn’t defending you; this is just between him and me.”

Tiana Young was taken aback, surprised at how cleanly Hugo distanced himself from her.

Her gaze instinctively shifted to Scarlett Adler, who stood there with a neutral expression, revealing nothing.

But Tiana knew Hugo’s words were entirely because of Scarlett.

Feeling awkward, she was about to say something when Hugo turned his gaze to Scarlett, his eyes filled with

warmth. “Let’s go inside.”

Scarlett glanced at Tiana, closed her eyes briefly, then nodded. “Okay.”

Hugo naturally took Scarlett’s hand without another word and led her inside, as if Tiana was just a casual

acquaintance.

Tiana’s eyes reddened, her mind flooded with memories of their laughter together, and slowly, jealousy

clouded her vision.

The fists at her sides clenched tightly.

Especially when she saw them holding hands, jealousy filled her heart.

Chapter 249 Didn’t even bother to pretend.

That tenderness was supposed to be hers.

She was the one who should have been standing by his side.

But everything changed because of this woman’s appearance!

With these thoughts, Tiana Young felt even more determined.

She turned to leave, but as she did, she saw someone standing behind her.

Her brows furrowed.

There stood Fourth, not far away, with a man behind her. She looked at Tiana with a smirk that reminded her

of Scarlett Adler.

“So, don’t you think my mom and dad make a great couple?” Fourth asked with a smile.

Tiana was already fuming, and seeing her only made it worse.

“Great couple?” Tiana sneered. “What’s so great about it? Do you know your mom stole someone else’s

man? What’s there to brag about? She’s just a homewrecker, and you, you’re just the daughter of one!”

Tiana was visibly angry, but Fourth remained unfazed.

Scarlett had told her never to get angry with a loser. If you get angry with a loser, even if you win, it’s like you

haven’t won at all.

Fourth looked at her with a sympathetic expression and sighed, “Ah, women who are delusional are really

pitiful!”

Tiana Young’s face changed as she glared at Fourth angrily, “What did you say?”

If it weren’t for the people standing behind her, Tiana would have rushed over to give Fourth a piece of her

mind.

Fourth met her gaze, and despite Tiana’s intimidating expression, Fourth’s eyes showed no fear. “Not to

mention my mom was the first wife, before you came along. Just talking about Dad, he never acknowledged

you as his girlfriend. So, what else could it be but wishful thinking?”

Tiana never expected to be lectured by a young girl, and she was furious, gritting her teeth. “What do you

know? If it weren’t for your mom showing up, I would be his girlfriend now!”

Fourth’s gaze grew even more sympathetic. “Alright, you can believe whatever makes you happy!”

With that, she turned to leave, not waiting for Tiana to say anything else.

“Little girl!” Tiana suddenly called out.

Fourth turned back, looking at her. “Is there anything else?”

Tiana looked at her, a cold smile on her face, “Just wanted to tell you, when you’re out and about, be polite when you speak to others. Don’t be too arrogant, or you might find yourself getting taught a lesson!”

Listening to her words, Alex “Fourth” Carter chuckled dismissively, “I show respect to those who deserve it,

but some people just don’t.”

With that, he didn’t wait for her to respond and walked inside, his victorious demeanor nearly driving Tiana

Young mad.

Watching him, her smile couldn’t hold any longer and fell away, her eyes narrowing with hatred.

If she had felt jealousy before, Fourth’s words now successfully ignited her anger.

Her gaze drifted to the poster at the entrance, featuring the trio’s photo.

A birthday party?

This time, she didn’t rush to leave but instead walked forward, where the floor–to–ceiling glass offered a

perfect view of the birthday celebration.

There weren’t many people inside, but the venue was warmly decorated, and the trio ran around, filling the

space with laughter and joy.

Hugo Hodges was constantly by Scarlett Adler’s side, his gaze never leaving her for a moment.

Watching this scene deeply pierced Tiana’s heart.

Why did they get to share such happiness while she was left in such a state?

With this thought, a flicker of malice flashed in Tiana’s eyes. If that’s the case, then let’s all go down together!

No one should have it easy!
