GoodReadWhen Scarlett got home, her grandfather had not gone to bed yet. Rowan was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. Seeing Scarlett come back, Rowan's features unfrowned a bit, "Is it settled?" Scarlett smiled and nodded her head," Everything is settled. It's not a big deal." "That's good. It's late. Go take a shower and go to bed." "Okay, Grandpa. Good night." "I'm going to bed, too." Rowan glanced at Yair as he said so. The assistant had worked with Rowan for many years. Yair glanced at Scarlett, and then he followed Rowan into his room. He knew his boss' intentions.
"Yair, what was going on?" Yair thought of what Scarlett had just told him earlier. After all, he didn't tell Rowan the truth. "It's a misunderstanding. That man didn't meant for us. He had a conflict with another car just like ours earlier. He thought it was us. After Ms. Reed explained it to him, he apologized to us." The explanation made sense.
Scarlett's grandfather's stared at Yair for a few seconds. At last, Rowan said, "All right. Thank you, Yair. It's late.
Go to have a good rest." "Yes, Mr. Tank. Good night." "OK." Yair then went to the study and collected his things. Then he was ready for a shower and going to bed.
Scarlett woke up early the next morning. She had spent the last few days walking around with her grandfather, and she had slept well at night.

Today they were going to the countryside. Scarlett had not contacted with the Bookers since the last unpleasant incident.
Last time Rocco was sent to jail by Scarlett for some days. After that, he did not dare to mess with Scarlett again.
Afterward, Rocco joined Ryker in slandering Scarlett for money, but it caused no big stir.
Scarlett actually did not want to see the Bookers. She did not like the Bookers.
Technically, she was disgusted with every member of the Bookers.
Whether it was the near 80 years old woman who was her grandma in name, or Rocco and his sons, they all wanted to get some benefits out of her.
Scarlett remembered being given away by Kyleigh when she was a little girl. After all these years, she still remembered how excited Kyleigh looked the day when the old woman got rid of her.
Scarlett never told these things to her grandfather. Larry should have learned about it when he investigated Scarlett’s history. But he probably didn't tell his grandfather either. The two had a consensus on this matter. They both thought it was best to keep it from their grandpa for fear that theold man would get sad.
This time Scarlett's grandfather came to Chatbury City, in addition to paying respect to Scarlett's parents, Rowan wanted to see the place where Pearl grew up.
Scarlett could not find an excuse to refuse Rowan's request, so she arranged the trip.
It was nearly a two-hour drive from the town to the countryside.

Scarlett hadn't been back to this place since her parents moved to town with her. It had been 15 years.
The village hadn't changed much after all these years, except that the roads were much smoother and some of the houses along the road had been rebuilt. The village looked neater and better than it did fifteen years ago.
On their way to the village, Scarlett looked out the car window at the road and buildings. The village was still undeveloped.
Fifteen years had passed, and the country had advanced a lot. But the village hadn't changed much, except for wider roads and some new houses.
On both sides of the main road of the village were old houses. They were grocery stores, fast food stalls, toy stores, and small shopping malls. But these stores were dingy and the decoration was very old.
At the end of the main road was the Booker house where Pearl grew up. When Kyleigh learned that Scarlett got rich, she once took Rocco to ask for money from Scarlett.
