GoodReadKyleigh was always domineering but was scared by what Scarlett had said. Standing in the doorway, Kyleigh gripped the bag of gifts, not daring to knock on the door again.
Kyleigh knew that Scarlett was different from Kenny. Scarlett had no feelings for Kyleigh. Otherwise, Rocco would have been imprisoned.
Scarlett said that she would keep Rocco in prison forever. It was not a joke.
However, Kyleigh didn't know who else could help them.
She was over 70 years old. The villagers didn't dare to offend her, so she had been overbearing in the village for decades. She didn't want to move away. Although poor, she felt pleased living there.
Yet they were not in the village. Kyleigh knew that she couldn't get her way by making a scene.
Gormend stopped their cars and robbed them of almost 10,000 dollars. Besides, one of the victims was a veteran. The incident caused an uproar. The police officer told Kyleigh that even if she lay outside the police station every day, Gormend wouldn't be released and that if Kyleigh went to Scarlett and the others, asked for their forgiveness, and compensated them, Gormend would probably get a lighter sentence.

Kyleigh knew that Scarlett wouldn't forgive Gormend before coming here. They had fallen out. After being refused by Scarlett, Kyleigh was at a loss for what to do next.
She stood at the door for a while and turned to leave.
Kyleigh didn't want to go, but she was terrified by Scarlett's words.
Scarlett and the others finished packing at about 10 am. They set off after a rest.
When they came out of the house, there was no one else around. Scarlett thought Kyleigh had left.
They went downstairs with the suitcases. As soon as they walked out of the hall, Scarlett saw that Kyleigh was sitting beside the flower bed and eating an egg.
Noticing Scarlett, Kyleigh raised her eyebrows. She suddenly thought of something, turned sideways with a guilty look, and curled up. Kyleigh seemed afraid of being seen by them.
Scarlett just glanced at Kyleigh and followed the driver to the car.
After the suitcases were put in the trunks, the two cars slowly moved out of the housing estate.
Kyleigh watched them leave, not daring to chase. She cursed and went away with the gifts after the two cars disappeared from view.
Scarlett and the others arrived at the restaurant at 11 a m. They chatted in the private room and began to eat in half an hour. It was 12.30 a m. after lunch. They took a break and drove to the airport.
They left after 3 p.m. and arrived in Juanton City at about 5 p.m.
It was very hot in July and August in this city. A blast of hot air hit them as they stepped out of the airport.
The trip was strenuous. Scarlett took Rowan and Viviana back to the hotel and then returned to her villa.

Even though they didn't go to many places in Chatbury City, they had gone outside every day in the past five days. Thus, they were all tired.
Scarlett had a lot of work to do at Tenton and Mornet. Tomorrow would be a busy day.
She went to bed early.
The next morning, Scarlett was woken by the alarm clock at 7 a m. It got light early in summer. Scarlett drew back the curtains. The sunshine beamed in.
Katherine sent a message to Scarlett last night, reminding her of the meeting at Mornet at 9 a m. today.
Scarlett looked at the message with a smile. Katherine was a conscientious secretary. Scarlett decided to give her a pay raise.
Scarlett almost left everything about f ent on and Mornet to Katherine and Frank. Scarlett just paid attention to some important projects.
She had to attend the meeting at Mornet this morning because there was something wrong with the company in which Mornet had invested in March. Scarlett needed to discuss it with the directors.
