GoodReadAs he said, Alexander got up and left.
However, when he walked to the door, he found his friends inside the private room still chatting and laughing.
Alexander held the door handle. "Don't stop me! | will get mad no matter who stops me!" Jake glanced at him. "No one is stopping you. Just go." "Damn! I'm staying!" Alexander returned to the couch and grunted. "If | leave at your request, won't | lose face?" Raymond looked at Alexander in disgust." Come on. What's the big news?" Alexander looked at Scarlett. "It is embarrassing. Scarlett is here too." Scarlett laughed. "It's okay. Mr. Smith, you can go ahead. If it's false news, | can clear it up." Alexander was immediately happy. "I heard that you are Larry's relative. Is that true?" Scarlett took the juice handed over by Raymond and took a sip. "Who did you hear that from?" "A friend." Raymond interjected, "I didn't know you had a friend in the Tank family." "No... Actually, it was Larry himself who let slip that he had a sister. | knew Larry did not have a sister. But Scarlett has been close to the Tank family recently.
Suddenly, an idea crossed my mind: Scarlett might be Larry's half-sister." Scarlett's hand trembled slightly. "Well... Mr. Smith, your idea is not right." Raymond suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Even Stephen and Jake both felt something was wrong. Jake raised his hand to cover Alexander's mouth. "That's enough. Stop guessing. Let us listen to Ms. Reed's explanation." Scarlett smiled. "In fact, | am not Larry's half-sister but his cousin." Upon hearing that, Alexander pulled away from Jake, who was covering his mouth." Anyway, you are Larry's relative. | guessed it right! Ha ha. I'm so smart!" Looking at Alexander's proud face, Scarlett felt that it must be hard for Raymond and the others to tolerate Alexander over the years.

Stephen glanced at Raymond and saw his calm look. "Ray, did you already know it?" Stephen thought, "It must be true. After all, Scarlett and Larry hit the headlines again a few days ago. If Raymond hadn't known about their real relationship, he would not have been so calm. And he probably had asked us out for a drink." "Yes." Alexander was speechless.
The four of them could rarely meet.
Stephen actually had something to say to Raymond, but he could not speak because Scarlett was also here.
Raymond noticed Stephen's gaze. "It's OK. Go ahead." Stephen smiled, "Triston has been scheming against you lately, so be careful." Triston, whose full name was Triston Shaw, was Raymond's uncle, but he was not Raymond's immediate family.
That was because he was not a son of Raymond's grandfather but a son of Raymond's grandfather's brother.
Raymond's face hardened. "I see." Afterwards, they talked about some recent business news.
Scarlett listened on the side and hardly spoke.
Around eight o'clock, Alexander suggested a game of poker.
Raymond looked at Scarlett. She raised her eyebrows. "Mr. Smith, didn't you lose enough money in the last bet?" Alexander replied, "I had bad luck last time.

It was not because he was stupid...
Scarlett smiled. "Okay." She did not want to be a buzzkill today.
There were five people. Alexander did not allow Raymond to play. After all, Alexander lost the most money every time he played poker with Raymond.
Alexander could afford to lose, but he just felt that he had no fun playing poker with Raymond.
However, an hour later...
Alexander looked at his empty chip box. " It's late. Scarlett, why don't you go back home and have a good rest?" Scarlett smiled. "It's okay to sleep late sometimes." Alexander was speechless.
