Rowan heard about last night's incident. Although Scarlett disliked Jessie and was happy to see that Jessie was in trouble, Jessie was a Tank. In the years before Scarlett came back to the Tank family, Jessie had accompanied Viviana and Rowan. Therefore, Scarlett didn’t want Rowan to know what had happened. She didn't expect the butler to tell Rowan about it as soon as Rowan woke up early in the morning.
While Scarlett was eating breakfast with them, Rowan asked Larry to go to Jessie and the other of his juniors and tell them not to come over to disturb him because he wanted to stay alone.
Larry was on Scarlett's side. What Rowan said was just what he thought. Now that Rowan asked him to do that, Larry didn't mind going to Jessie's house.
Rowan then looked at Scarlett "If you are bullied, tell us. Your brother and aunt will help you." Scarlett was touched and resigned. She smiled. "I know, Grandpa." After breakfast, Scarlett played chess with Rowan. Larry went to Jessie's house with gifts.

Jessie's grandpa passed away long ago. The oldest member of the Tank family was Rowan. Only Jessie's parents visited them with gifts every year. It was the first time Larry had come to Jessie's house.
Jessie and her parents all felt that something was wrong.
Rafael and Priscilla looked at each other. Priscilla remembered what Timothy said about the attitude of the Tank family last night. Her heart thumped nervously.
Yet she looked calm. She got up with a smile. "Larry, aren't you busy lately? What brought you here?" Larry nodded and gave her the gifts in his hand. "Uncle and aunt, I'm not very busy these days." "We're happy to see you. You don’t have to bring us gifts." Priscilla said but took the gifts from Larry.
She was not greedy for Larry's gifts, but this was the first time Larry was so polite to them.
Priscilla thought that the Tank family wanted to ask them to do something. Rafael's company had a problem.
However, Viviana avoided Jessie. Priscilla and Rafael were thinking about how to ask Ben for help.
They were surprised that Larry came over.

Larry looked at Timothy and the others, saying to Priscilla, "Well, my grandpa doesn't feel well. His doctor said that he needs rest and quiet. Jessie likes to go over to accompany him, so Grandpa asked me to tell you about it in case she comes next time but can't see Grandpa." The smile on Priscilla's face faded. The meaning of Larry's words was clear.
Jessie used to go to the Tank's villa every day to please Viviana and Rowan. In the past two months, Rowan and Viviana had refused to see Jessie. Yesterday Jessie and Timothy came over but returned angrily. The next day, Larry came to them with this request.
Their meaning was obvious! Rowan simply wouldn't give them anything. They were relatives. How could Rowan be so stingy? He wouldn't lose anything if he helped them.
Priscilla didn't dare to say so. She had to suppress her anger and shock. "What happened to Rowan? The other day Jessie went over. She said Rowan was in good health. How come the doctor asked him to rest?"
