GoodReadAlexander wiped his nose, "I feel sorry that destiny is not on my side!" Scarlett smiled faintly, "Thank you! | wish you health and live forever!" For the first time, Scarlett got so honored. She glanced at Raymond, and Raymond just happened to look down at her. Seeing her look at him, he slightly tightened his grip on her hand.
There were a lot of guests today. After meeting Raymond and the others and exchanging greetings, the old Jones went to meet other guests.
By this time, Scarlett and Raymond were ready to go.
But due to Breanna, Alexander had to stay on.

Stephen found Cindy, and they were all planning to leave.
Before they left, Cindy wanted to go to the bathroom. She looked at Scarlett, "Scarlett, would you like to come with me?" Scarlett nodded, "Sure." Just as Scarlett responded, Cindy walked over to her and held her hand.
Raymond's face darkened. He looked at Stephen in dismay.
Stephen stood there, sipping his champagne. He said, "All up to you." Stephen doted on his sister so much. How could he be willing to criticize his sister? Jake came alone, and he left alone. He waved goodbye to them.
"Scarlett, do you have time lately? | want to have a party at home in a few days. Come to my party if you have time!" Scarlett smiled, "I will if I'm free." "Then it's a deal!" The two went into the bathroom. They each went into a cubicle.
Just as the doors were closed, someone walked into the restroom, and by their voice, they were familiar faces.
"Mom, what was Scarlett's gift?" Breanna sniffed, "What do you expect her to bring? She brought a box of Kinglane Tea, worth no more than $20,000.” Scarlett was considerate. The old Jones loved tea, so Scarlett's gift was to his liking. And for the old man's birthday, unless one was particularly close to him, most people brought wine or tea. It was covention.
Scarlett's gift wasn't shabby, but it was just so so.

Libby skimmed the corner of her mouth, "I thought she was going to bring something prominent. Last time she said the vase in our house was a fake and that she had the authentic one! We invited her to grandpa's birthday party, but why didn’t she bring the authentic vase? She's bragging!" At Libby's complaint, Breanna laughed," You can only say that to me! Scarlett's gift wasn't valuable, but it was okay. Don't babble around like we're looking forward to her gift!” Cindy had just gotten up off the toilet. She felt exasperated. She straightened her clothes. Then she pushed open the door and stepped out. "Aren't you just looking forward to Scarlett's gift? Why else would you be so picky about Scarlett when so many people have brought their gifts?" It was the first time Cindy argued with people. She was really angry. Her eyes turned a little red as she looked at Breanna and Libby.
Cindy thought the two were really mean." Mrs. and Miss Jones, you guys are going too far! Last time at Grandpa Jones' birthday party, Scarlett was pushed into the pool. But you, as the host, didn't let anyone go to rescue her or evacuate the guests. You deliberately let so many people watch the scene! What's past is past. But after three years, why are you still so mean with Scarlett? Did she do something evil to you?" Breanna didn't expect Cindy to be in the bathroom. For a moment she lost her words.
But Libby grunted, "Why are you defending her so fervently? She's a slut. Aren't you afraid she'll steal your brother? You'll be crying by then!" "I wish Scarlett could marry my brother!" Scarlett couldn't help but laugh at Cindy's words.
The laughter was quite abrupt at the moment. Breanna and Libby both subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. Then Scarlett came out of the cubicle. Both Libby and her mother felt awkward.
