    Scarlett was asleep by Fourth’s bedside when the door swung open, and Mr. He stormed in, grumbling.

    “Such a big thing happened, and no one told me! Do I not matter anymore?b” /bMr. He shouted, clearly frustrated.

    Hearing themotionb, /bScarlett frowned and woke up. She noticed the coat draped over her and paused for ba /bmoment.

    “And that woman, she’s got a heart of stone. This can’t just be let go!”

    Scarlett snapped back to reality and stood up as she saw Mr. He and William walk in. “Grandpa, Mr. He!”

    Mr. He had been ready to unleash his temper, but seeing only Scarlett in the room, he paused and then asked, “Where’s

    bthat /brascal Hugo?b” /b

    Scarlett nced around and replied softly, “He must have gone out!b” /b

    bMr. /bHe had no choice but to swallow his anger.

    Looking at Fourth lying in bed, Mr. He walked over with a pained expression, examining her closely. “It’s only been a few

    days, and she’s already lost so much weight…”

    He looked up at Scarlett. “Scarlett, how is Fourth doing now? What did the doctor say?”

    Scarlett replied honestly, “She’s fine now. It was just dehydration and cold that caused the fever. The fever brokest

    nightb!/b”

    Hearing this, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief. But thinking about the suffering Fourth had enduredb, /bhe couldn’t

    help but feel heartbroken and said angrily, “We can’t let this go. That woman must not get away with it!”

    At this moment, Williamn stepped up and touched Fourth’s forehead to confirm the fever was gone, finally feeling at ease.

    bTurning /bto Scarlett, he looked at her with a hint of reproach. “Girl, something this serious happened, and you didn’t tell bus/b. If it weren’t for First and Second, we still wouldn’t know what was going on. bI /bknow you didn’t want us to worry, bur

    matter when we find out, we’ll worry just the same!”

    Listening to William, Scarlett nodded. “I understand, Grandpa. It won’t happen again.”

    Scarlett’s attitude when admitting her mistakes was always so sincere.

    William watched, unable to bring himself to scold anyone further.

    Just then, Fourth opened her eyes. “Great–grandfather, don’t me Scarlett. It was me, Fourthb, /bwho was too young and

    got tricked!b” /b

    Hearing Fourth’s voice, William and the old Mr. Adler immediately turned to her.

    “Fourth, you’re awake?”

    “Fourth, are you feeling ufortable anywhere? Tell your great–grandfather.”

    bThe /btwo old men leaned in anxiously, asking questions one after another.

    Seeing them, Fourth’s lips curled into a small smile. “Seeing my great–grandfather and great–great–grandfather so worried

    about me makes me feel much better. I’m not ufortable at all!b” /b

    Fourth’s sweet words were enough to melt the hearts of the two old men, leaving them at a loss for words.

    “You little charmer!” William gently tapped her forehead.

    “This isn’t Daddy or Scarlett’s fault. Great–grandfather and great–great–grandfather, please don’t me them!” Fourth

    pleaded sweetly.

    “Alrightb, /balrightb, /bwe’ll do whatever Fourth says,” William replied.

    At this moment, Fourth nced at Old Hodges, seemingly waiting for his response.

    Old Hodges let out a heavy sigh. “Of course, your great–grandfather doesn’t me your dad and mom. I’m angry at the

    person who hurt you. I promise, I’ll get revenge for you!”

    Hearing thisb, /bFourth smiled proudly and said, “Yesterday, Dad and Mom went to get revenge for me!”

    The two elders were taken aback. William turned to look at Scarlett.

    Scarlett had always been someone who knew her limits, so William naturally trusted her.

    However, Old Hodges spoke with bitterness, “That woman with a heart of stone deserves to be dealt with harshly!”

    William frowned at this. “Old Hodges, what are you talking about?b” /b

    Old Hodges was beyond caring and said, “It’s true! Anyone who dares to mess with the Hodges Family is asking for

    trouble. We can’t just let this go!”

    “Not in front of the child…” William reminded him.

    At that moment, the old man nced at Fourth and said, “As a child of the Hodges Family, they need to have courage and

    know that if they’re bullied, someone will stand up for them… Fourth, are you afraid?b” /b

    Fourth wasn’t afraid at all. She smiled and shook her head, “Great–grandfather is so cool!”

    William just stood there, speechless.

    The old man was very pleased and looked at her seriously, “Fourth, remember, no matter what happens, the entire Hodges

    Family is your support. If anyone dares to bully you, I would risk everything for the family to stand up for you!” he dered.

    Fourth nodded firmly, “Fourth will remember!”

    Though the old man always appeared kind and gentle, he was a man who hated injustice. He didn’t follow many rules, but

    if someone dared to bully his family, he would never let it go.

    Williamn knew this very well.

    Over the years, William hade to understand his temperpletely. When things were calm, everything was easy to

    discuss, but when trouble arose, he wouldn’t tolerate even a speck of dust in his eyes.

    Thinking back now, that woman… really crossed the line.

    Listening to their conversation, Scarlett closed her eyes briefly and didn’t say much.

    “Yes, it is!” Scarlett replied smoothly. “Who is this?b” /b

    “Why are you looking for that symbol? And what’s your connection to Terry?” the man asked, his voice carrying a

    mysterious tone.

    Terry…

    Hearing that name made Scarlett’s heart clench tightly.

    bIt /bwas her father’s name, a name that hadn’t been spoken in yearsb… /b

    Her instincts told her bthat /bthe person on the other end was deeply connected to her father’s death.

    Scarlett pressed her lips together. “Well, didn’t you know that in China, when you call someone, you’re supposed to

    introduce yourself first?”

    “Oh, really?”

    Scarlett gripped her phone tightly. “Who exactly are you?”
