Chapter 46 Chapter 46 They healed her. Scarlett Adler frowned, recalling what Henry Fallon had said at the hospital. He had said that Kane Jennings would never appear again... Could it be... Hugo Hodges??? She felt it was him because Henry Fallon wouldn't have said that if it wasn't. But then again, she doubted it. How could he do something like that for her...? As she was thinking, William Adler called her name twice, "Girl, what are you thinking about?" Scarlett Adler snapped out of her thoughts and murmured, "I was wondering who acted so quickly..." "No matter who it is, that person deserved it. Whoever did this did a good deed," William Adler said. Scarlett Adler didn't reply. "It's just that they acted a bit too soon. Otherwise, I would have gone to the company and given him a good beating," William Adler said, still angry. Hearing this, Scarlett Adler looked at him, "Grandpa, I know you care about me and love me, but I hope you won't be impulsive. Compared to giving him a beating, isn't this result worse than death for him?" "That's true, but I still can't swallow my anger." Scarlett Adler soothed his anger, "Grandpa, don't worry, he really didn't bully me. Besides, Hugo Hodges even beat him up for me." Hearing this, William Adler said, "That Hugo Hodges actually did something right this time..." Scarlett smiled gently, "Alright, Grandpa, I'll take better care of myself in the future and won't let you worry anymore. You have to promise me too, that no matter what happens, you won't act impulsively." Knowing Scarlett was filial, William didn't want to say much, "I'll try." Trying meant he agreed. Scarlett smiled, "Okay, Grandpa, I'm going back to my room to rest. When those three come back, don't tell them, so they don't worry." William nodded, "Alright, I understand. Go back to your room and rest. Grandpa will make you some soup." "Okay!" Scarlett smiled, then got up and walked toward the bedroom. She originally wanted to take a shower before sleeping, but her wound couldn't get wet, so Scarlett simply changed into comfortable silk pajamas and fell straight onto the bed. Scarlett Adler had initially planned to sleep soundly, but after lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. 22.6% VIP Ad-Free > 16:39 The news of Kane Jennings' arrest kept replaying in her mind. Her gut told her it couldn't be a coincidence. Other than Hugo Hodges, she couldn't think of anyone else who would do this. After much contemplation, Scarlett Adler finally drifted off to sleep, though she wasn't sure how long it took. When she woke up again, it was already dark. Looking out the window, she saw the streetlights had come on. Just as Scarlett Adler was about to get up, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Manager Yan, Scarlett Adler answered without hesitation. "Scarlett," Manager Yan's voice trembled on the other end of the line. "Manager Yan, what's wrong?" Scarlett Adler asked. In her mind, Manager Yan wasn't the one who had pushed her into the pit. With Hugo Hodges as a powerful backer, he had repeatedly advised her not to get involved. So, she believed this incident was purely an accident. "Scarlett, I know this was a mistake on my part, but I swear I didn't mean for it to happen. I had no intention of doing this, absolutely not," Manager Yan explained frantically. From his words, it seemed like he knew something. "You know?" Scarlett asked. "I just found out too... Scarlett, I'm really sorry for the harm this has caused you," Manager Yan apologized profusely. "It's okay, I know it wasn't your arrangement. It was just bad luck," Scarlett said. "Really? You really believe me?" Manager Yan asked. "If I didn't, you'd probably be in jail with him right now," Scarlett replied. Manager Yan was overwhelmed with gratitude. "Can you please plead with Mr. Hodges? I really didn't do it on purpose. Mr. Hodges said he's going to blacklist me. I have a family to support, I really can't lose my job, Scarlett, no, Ms. Adler, I beg you, please." Manager Yan started to cry and plead. Scarlett was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure Hugo Hodges said that?" "Mr. Hodges called me personally, scolded me severely, and said he would make sure I couldn't work in this industry anymore, Ms. Adler." "Please, I'm begging you to help me. I know I shouldn't ask, but I swear to God, I swear on my life, I really didn't arrange anything like that, and I didn't mean for any of this to happen." Manager Yan's words were full of despair. Scarlett Adler thought for a moment and then said, "I understand. I'll call him and talk to him about it." "Really? Thank you, thank you so much, Ms. Adler," Manager Yan said. 22.7% VIP Ad-Free > 16:39
