GoodReadAt that time, Priscilla didn't marry Rafael. She naturally didn't know about that incident. "Sister? What are you talking about?" "Dad, what do you mean?" Jessie and the others were confused too.
Rafael glanced at them with a sigh. "Thirty years ago, Rowan had a daughter called Pearl. Kate brought ten-year- old Pearl out while working, and then Pearl was abducted. The Tank family had been looking for Pearl for ten years, but there was no news about her. Probably because they are tired, they seem to have given up." Rafael was stunned for a moment. "Do you have Scarlett's picture?" When Kate died, Rafael didn't pay attention to Scarlett. He just gave her a hasty glance.
Yet Rafael didn't forget Pearl since the ten-year-old Pearl looked like an angel.
At that time, Rafael's father was still alive. Rafael and Ben were close. They loved Pearl. Later, Pearl was lost. He and Ben had done everything to look for her for several years while they were at college. However, they failed.

Over time, Rafael gave up.
Yet now he knew that the Tank family had never stopped looking for Pearl! Jessie couldn't believe it. She found Scarlett's online photo and showed it to Rafael.
As soon as he saw the photo, Rafael froze." She looks like Pearl very much!" He just suspected that Scarlett was Pearl's daughter before seeing the photo. Now he was sure.
Whether Scarlett was Pearl's daughter or not, Rowan would love Scarlett because her face was similar to Pearl's.
Rafael glanced at Jessie. "Did you do anything to Scarlett?" Jessie's face tightened. "I didn't, Dad!" Rafael's face darkened. "Larry knows everything. | don't care what you did before. Don't lay a finger on Scarlett anymore or go to them recently! Wait until after Rowan's birthday party." Rafael didn't want to quarrel with Ben.
Priscilla and Jessie had done many things behind his back over the years. Rafael was also a beneficiary, so he turned a blind eye. He didn't expect the presence of Scarlett. Scarlett had no idea what Jessie's family was thinking. Anyway, Scarlett knew that after Larry warned them, Jessie wouldn't dare to mess with her.
When Larry came back, Scarlett had just finished playing a game of chess with Rowan.
Rowan couldn't beat her and wanted to redo his move, but he still lost after that. Now he asked Scarlett to play another game with him.

Rowan pulled him over at the sight of Larry. "Come here. Play chess with your cousin!" Larry looked at Scarlett. She gave a wry smile. "Grandpa didn't allow me to throw the game." Hearing this, Rowan blushed and grunted." You are my granddaughter. Of course, you are better than me!" Scarlett smilingly echoed, "Yes. My intelligence is in the blood!" Rowan nodded in satisfaction. "I'll watch you play." Rowan paused. "Don't worry. | won't disturb you." Larry laughed. "Okay. Remember not to disturb us then." Being teased, Rowan snorted. "Hurry up! Don't underestimate Scarlett. She's very good at chess!" Scarlett glanced at Larry, saying softly, " Larry, go easy on me." Larry looked at her. "Okay." Scarlett was his cousin. Of course, he would be gentle to her.
However, after ten minutes, Larry found that he was wrong.
They played for almost an hour. Finally, Larry won by a neck.
Rowan tutted. "Look at you. You underestimate Scarlett, don't you? If Scarlett hadn't given you the chance, you would have lost." Scarlett took a sip of tea. "Grandpa, | didn't." Larry was indeed an expert at playing chess. She didn't give him any chance. Thinking of what Larry said last night, Scarlett was little out of it and accidentally made a wrong move. As a result, Larry won.
