GoodReadThey all knew what Larry meant. He said that tactfully, but since Priscilla pressed him, he had to say, "Nothing serious. He's just aged and wants quiet." Larry looked at Rafael. "Uncle, 1 have some things to do at home. | won't bother you anymore." After saying that, he turned around and headed toward the door.
Priscilla and Rafael's faces stiffened.

Seeing Larry was far away, Timothy and Cyrus complained, "That's too much! He makes it sound like we want to go to their house." Priscilla glared at Timothy and looked at Jessie. "Jessie, what happened last night? Why did Larry come over and say these things?" Jessie was confused. Last night Viviana spoke bluntly to her, but Jessie was thick-skinned, thinking that Scarlett would leave Deeton city. As soon as Scarlett went away, Jessie would visit them. Jessie believed that if she persisted, they would see her.
Moreover, she made a fool of herself last night. Jessie didn't want to tell Priscilla that she fell into the water.
Jessie didn't expect that Larry would come over with gifts early this morning and tell them that Rowan wanted quiet.
This was simply an excuse! They didn't want to see her. Larry came here to say that. Though unashamed, Jessie would be turned away if she came to them again.
Rowan was making a break with them! As she thought of this, Jessie's face immediately turned white. "Mom, | don't know. I... | was pushed into the pond by Scarlett last night." Priscilla knew that her daughter didn't tell the truth. "You! Why did you mess with Scarlett?" Priscilla didn't take Scarlett seriously. She glanced at Rafael. "Who the hell is Scarlett? Rowan brought back a strange woman and said she was his granddaughter. Rowan must have gone gaga, right? Jessie is his relative anyway. She used to go to see him every day. Why does he prefer a strange woman to Jessie?" Priscilla felt that Rowan was senile. She wondered what Scarlett did to him.

Priscilla and her daughter thought the same.
Yet Rafael thought further. Last night when Cyrus and the others returned home, they said that Scarlett was Rowan's granddaughter and the Tank family was very good to her. Viviana was even angry with Jessie because of Scarlett. Rafael was aware of something as he heard that.
Larry came over and said those things. Rafael associated it with last night's incident. He realized that Larry was not breaking with them but warning them! Although Rowan was old, Rafael knew Rowan was not stupid. Even if Rowan were, the rest of the Tank family were not. Larry made such achievements at a young age. How could he be silly? If only Rowan were good to Scarlett, it wouldn't matter. However, Jessie said the whole Tank family liked Scarlett.
Rafael suddenly thought of something. His expression changed. "I remember that Ben's sister was lost thirty years ago..."
