When she woke up the next day, the first thing Scarlett did was to ask Katherine to personally take thirty thousand dollars to the Jones family in a few days. As for why she asked Katherine to wait a few days to do it, of course, she wanted to give Libby a hard tfirst.
Libby had a really hard tthese days because of the vase.
Not only was she grounded by Tomas, but he docked her pocket money for six months. For the daughter of a rich family like her, being docked pocket money for half a year was like killing her.

Without money, she couldn't buy beautiful clothes and jewelry to dress herself.
Libby was a fun-loving girl. She was grounded for a week, whining at hevery day.
On this day, the gate of the quiet villa of the Jones family was suddenly opened.
Libby thought that svisitors cto the Jones family's villa and was a little happy. She called Breanna down to receive them.
However, Libby's happiness didn't last long, as the visitor was none other than Katherine.
"Hello, Mrs. Jones. My nis Katherine. I'm here on behalf of Ms. Reed to compensate for the vase that belongs to Mr. Jones that she broke earlier." That night, After Breanna returned to her bedroom, Tomas berated her and analyzed his point of view with her.
Breanna was still prejudiced against Scarlett, but it was a little better than last time, and Breanna still looked down on her a little. Breanna said, "That's very kind of Ms. Reed. Libby made an innocent joke about offering to compensate for the damage of the vase." Katherine had a professional smile on her face and said modestly but confidently, "Ms. Reed said she'd compensate what she had to. Mrs. Jones, please count the money." Breanna didn't expect Scarlett would compensate for the vase. Three million dollars was a lot of money.

'Is that more than three million dollars? It is too little." ‘Scarlett is ridiculous.’ Libby, who was watching nearby, just burst out laughing and said, "Scarlett is ridiculous. If she can't afford it, she can refuse to compensate. Our family has no lack of this three million dollars. Who does she want to insult by compensating so little money?" Breanna said nothing, but frowned and looked at Katherine. Apparently, Libby meant what she thought.
Katherine explained, "Mrs. Jones, Ms. Reed doesn't mean to insult you by askingto compensate for the vase according to the value of it." Breanna was sullen when she heard this, "Do you mean that the vase we bought for over three million dollars is only worth thirty thousand dollars because you think it's worth thirty thousand dollars? Or do you think we, the Jones family, use a fake to pretend a real one? Go back to Scarlett and tell her that she has insulted us. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have money. But if she doesn't know how to conduct herself in society, then she'll be mediocre all her life." When Katherine heard this, she felt like she heard a joke.
She even wanted to tell them who Scarlett really was, but she held back. She said with a calm, selfcontrolled smile, "Mrs. Jones, you misunderstand me, too. We don't mean to insult you in any way. But unfortunately, it matches another vase, and Ms. Reed has one of them. This vase of yours is indeed a fake. If you don't believe, you can find an expert to examine it." "You're talking nonsense. How does Scarlett know she owns the real one?" "The original owner of the vases was Mr. George Sawyer, a nobleman of late last century. Twenty years ago, Mr.
Sawyer, in an effort to save the family business and cash flow, separated the vases, selling one to Mr. Robert Turner, the former chairman of the Rodosen Corporation, and the other to Mr. Steven Croft, a famous painter. The vase, which belongs to M s. Reed, was bought from Mr. Croft three years ago. And according to our information, the other vase that belonged to Mr. Turner still belongs to Mr. Turner now." Libby felt that this person had cto insult them and she blushed. She said, "You're talking nonsense. How do you know your information is true? Why don't you say the vase that belongs to Scarlett is a fake? You are insulting us. If you can't afford it, you can refuse to compensate. What's going on here? Our Jones family wouldn't go so far as to buy a fake." "Get out. Get out with your money." Libby grabbed the bag in Breanna's hand and threw it at Katherine.
Katherine moved her body sideways and avoided being hit. She frowned and said, "Ms. Reed has another message for Mrs. Jones. She said Mr. Jones would tell whether it was real or not." Libby took out her cell phone and angrily called Tiffany. She thought that Scarlett had asked Katherine here today to insult her.
Tiffany was grounded for a few days last month, so she was well-behaved these days, but her anger against Scarlett grew every day.
Libby's call to her lit her up like a cigarette lighter.
