    Seeing bthe /bold man fall silent, Fourth spoke up, “Great–grandfather, I don’t want to be a sheltered flower, protected under

    someone’s wing my whole life.”

    The old man knew that Fourth’s intentions were good and right, but he still couldn’t shake his worries about her safety.

    “Fourth, you’re still young and don’t understand the dangers of the world. When you grow up a bit, you’ll naturally

    understand,” he said, trying to persuade her.

    b“/bbIf /bI’m always under your protection, I fear I’ll never understand the world’s dangersb, /bno matter how old I getb!/b” bFourth /b

    replied.

    The old man was at a loss for words against this little girl.

    He pressed his lips together, scanning the room until his gazended on Scarlett.

    “What do you think, Scarlett?” he asked, hoping someone would side with him.

    To his surprise, Scarlett calmly replied, “Grandfather, I respect Fourth’s wishes.”

    Despite being frightened by recent events, Scarlett understood that some things can’t be avoided by hiding. If Tiana

    Young was truly determined, she would find a way to harm Fourth no matter where she was. So, one incident wouldn’t

    scare Fourth into hiding.

    After all, life is long, and the world won’t be especially kind to anyone just because there are “bad people.” What she could

    do was help Fourth improve her defenses and adaptability in thisplex world.

    Unexpectedly, after Scarlett spoke, Mr. Adler furrowed his brows, surprised that Scarlett would agree.

    After a moment of contemtion, he shifted his gaze to Hugo, and spoke with a hint of irritation, “Hugo, what do you

    think?”

    Suddenly, all eyes in the room turned to Hugo.

    Hugo sat next to Fourth, legs crossed, his gaze originally fixed on Scarlett. But upon hearing Mr. bAdler /bbdirect /bbthe /b

    As he hesitated about what to say, Fourth tugged at Hugo’s clothes, looking at him with a pleading expression.

    Hugo was certainly worried, wishing he could protect Fourth, keeping her safe and carefree as she grew up. But he knew

    bthat /bno matter how good the protection, he couldn’t be by her side every moment, inor /iifor /iher entire life. The only way to

    truly protect Fourth…

    The way to do it is to teach her how to protect herself.

    Scarlett Adler believed in respecting Fourth’s wishes, and she surely thought the same.

    Thinking of this, Hugo spoke up, “Grandpa, I know you care deeply for Fourth, but there’s no such thing as a wall without

    cracks, and no loophole that can’t be exploited. Protecting Fourth isn’t about hiding her away; it’s about teaching her how

    to protect herselfb!/bb” /b

    Grandpa wasn’t in the mood to listen to reason. He looked directly at Hugo and asked, “Don’t give me all that nonsense.

    Are you saying you agree with Fourth going back to acting?”

    Hugo nodded.

    Seeing this, Fourth immediately smiled.

    Grandpa, however, was furious. He stood up abruptly, “Since you all feel this way, I have nothing more to say. I just want

    Fourth to be safe, that’s all!” With that, he didn’t wait for a response and stormed out.

    Everyone watched, unsure of what to say.

    Fourth pouted, unhappy, “Great–grandfather seems upset…”

    Hugo noticed and reassured her, “It’s okay. He’s just worried about your safety and needs some time to ept it. I’ll go

    talk to him.”

    Fourth nodded.

    Watching Hugo leave, William stood up. “Alright, I’ll go.”

    Looking at William, he said, “You young folks have your reasons, but you also need to understand us bold/b–timers. Old

    Hodges was so scared when he heard about Fourth’s ident that he nearly had a heart attack. His emotions are

    understandable.”

    Scarlett chimed in, “I didn’t consider Grandpa Hodges‘ feelings…”

    b“/bIt’s on me, not you!” Hugo replied.

    “Take care bof /bFourth,” William advised before heading out.

    The director stood quietly on the side, not daring to make a sound.

    He knew that he had brought up this topic, and a battle between the wealthy could blow him away at any moment. He

    didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

    Just as he was pondering how to excuse himself, Hugo Hodges turned his gaze toward him.

    “Is there anything else?”

    The director quickly shook his head, “No, nothing.”

    “Then you’re free to leave,” Hugo Hodges said, effectively dismissing him.

    The director’s mouth twitched slightly before he said, “bI’ll /btake my leave then.”

    He nced at the person sitting on the bed, “Fourth, take care and rest well. I’m heading out.”

    Fourth nodded, “Goodbye, director.”

    “Goodbye.”

    With that, the director nodded to them both, stood up, and exited the hospital room.

    As he closed the door, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

    These past few days had been incredibly stressful.

    First, Fourth went missing. Losing someone from the crew, especially a child, could spell disaster if someone decided to

    post about it online. The entire crew would be in trouble.

    Then there was Fourth’s identity….

    Just thinking about Hugo Hodges‘ grim expression sent chills down the director’s spine.

    At that moment, Summer Shaw’s footsteps approached from behind.

    “Director.”

    Summer looked at him. “Directorb, /bif Fourth returns to the set, you’ll need to keep her identity secret.”

    b“/bIt’s Fourth’s request. She doesn’t want people thinking she got the role because of who she is.”

    “That’s not the case at all!b” /bThe director dismissed the idea.

    “But you know how people talk. And what if someone with bad intentions finds out who she is and kidnaps her for

    ransom? It’s not impossible!” Summer exined.

    Though it was just a casual remark, the director took it seriously.

    Such things have happened before, like the kidnapping of stars. Given Fourth’s situation, it was entirely possible!
