GoodRead"Hey..." Alexander tried to warn Libby, but she ran away before he could finish his words.
Glancing at her as she ran away, he hesitated and finally took out his cell phone to call Raymond.
| have no choice. He's my good friend." However, his good friend didn't accept his kindness and declined his call again and again.
Alexander thought Raymond wouldn't answer his phone, so he sent a WhatsApp message and headed out to the dinner table.
People at the table were calm. Alexander had expected nothing to happen tonight, but he never thought he would be the trigger for a war.
It happened when Alexander was just sitting down, and Breanna introduced him to Scarlett, "Scarlett, this is Alexander, my nephew. As Breanna finished talking, Libby, sitting next to her, said, "Mom, why do you say that? Can she not have known Alexander's relationship to Raymond?" Libby said that in a weird way. Scarlett sat there, and her face was unchanged, "Miss Jones is right. | have known Alexander a long time ago." Breanna gave Libby a warning look, but Libby didn't want to stop, "Mom, why are you looking at me like that? | didn't say anything wrong. Besides, everyone knows about Ms. Reed's divorce from Raymond." Breanna was keen on face-saving. Antony was her godson, and whether she liked Scarlett or not was another thing. But when Antony brought Scarlett over for dinner and Libby embarrassed Scarlett, Breanna naturally didn't condone Libby. Breanna said to Libby, "Do you want to eat or not? If you don't want to eat, go back to your room. You are talkative, so why didn't you get a job offer in the last interview?" Libby chickened out and stopped talking.

Antony felt the atmosphere at the table soured, too. He asked Scarlett in a low voice, "Do you want me to take you away?" Scarlett turned her head, looked at him, and said with a smile, "No, thanks. It's nothing." It was nothing compared to what had happened to her before.
Even if Libby was about to yell at her today, she had plenty of ways to get off her back.
She glanced at Breanna after finishing talking, "Miss Jones is right. Everyone knows about my divorce from Raymond. But | don't think the Vang family has any rules against Antony marrying a divorced woman, right?" That was right. It was no use that Libby gave her a hard time and Breanna looked down upon her.
Antony's surname was Vang. He was from the Vang family, not from the Jones family.
Breanna became sullen, but then recovered and said with a smile, "Scarlett, don't haggle with her. It's because she couldn't find a job and stayed at home for a long time that she became so grumpy. Let's eat.
These are lobsters that | specially bought in Austrana and flew back. Try them and see if you like them." Libby wasn't stupid and knew the meaning of Scarlett's words. She lowered her head and grunted, not daring to say anything more.
Alexander was surprised. He used to think Scarlett was a scheming gold digger. He thought she wasn't an innocent woman.
But today Scarlett had hit back so directly. It was the first time he had really seen her like this.
‘That was a mistake. | should have recorded it.Thank you, Mrs. jones." Scarlett thanked her politely but didn't eat the lobster handed by her.
Breanna didn't just dislike Scarlett and was a little unsatisfied with her. As Antony's godmother, she was one of Antony's elders, but Scarlett had been calling her Mrs. Jones since she entered the house.
'What's going on? Does she not like Antony? Breanna became unhappy suddenly.
That was the way people were. When somebody else looked up to you, you thought she wanted to get something from you. But when she didn't look up to you, you thought she was an ungrateful wretch.
That was what Breanna was thinking right now. Whether Scarlett looked up to Antony or not, she was unsatisfied with it.

The meal was fabulous. Scarlett could tell that Breanna really cared about Antony as her son.
Scarlett was unaffected by what happened at the beginning of the meal.
After the meal, they were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
During this time, Antony asked Scarlett if she needed to leave in advance, but Scarlett refused.
She didn't want to please the Jones family, but she also didn't want Antony to get into trouble with the Smith family.
Antony saw that she was not affected, so he had to endure the desire to leave.
Antony could tell Scarlett didn't get along with Breanna and Libby but didn't know exactly what had been going on among them.
