Linley held her phone for a long time and finally decided to call Scarlett.
Scarlett raised her eyebrows when her phone rang.
Scarlett glanced down at her phone screen and saw it was Linley's call. She shook her phone at Raymond beside her and then answered the phone, "Is it Linley?" "Yes, it's me, Scarlett." Remembering what Linley had said to her the last time she accompanied Linley to finalize her divorce, Scarlett said with a smile, "Do you want to treat me to dinner?" "Scarlett, | heard both of Darnell's family and Jane's family had gone bankrupt." After a pause, Linley said, "Thank you, Scarlett." Scarlett wasn't trying to keep these things from Linley. She wasn’t a great person, and the reason she had done these was just to return Linley's favor. She said to Linley," All the bad things have passed, Linley." "Yes, these things have passed. In the future, | will be fine." "Definitely." After hanging up, Scarlett looked down at her phone, and a moment later, she smiled.
Raymond, who was aside, looked at her," Why are you so happy?" Scarlett looked up at him, "All the bad things have passed." Raymond had heard about Linley, and it was thanks to Raymond's help behind the scenes that Darnell's family went bankrupt so quickly.
"It is worth getting happy about." Scarlett looked at him and smiled, "I hope you won't upset my grandfather when you see him." After she had finished her words, she tilted her head to lean on his shoulder.

Raymond took her hand and curved his lips, without saying anything.
To be honest, he felt nervous for the first time in his life.
Soon, the airport broadcast reminded them that it was time to board, and then Raymond and Scarlett boarded the plane through the VIP lane.
After a flight of about two hours, the plane landed in Deeton City at exactly six o'clock.
It was Rowan's birthday banquet today. In addition to celebrating Rowan's birthday, the Tank family would announce Scarlett's identity, so it could be said that this evening's banquet was very ceremonious.
Larry arranged a car for Scarlett to be picked up, but he didn't show up in person, probably because he didn't want to see Raymond.
The Tank family had always kept a low profile, and they just held such a big banquet for Kate on her 60th birthday.
Rowan was accustomed to simplicity, and the Tank family just held a small banquet for his sixtieth birthday back then.
This time, the banquet was so ceremonious that many people speculated whether they were going to announce who Larry was going to marry.
Of course, the most controversial person was Scarlett.

Everyone in their circle knew Scarlett and Raymond were already in love and they had been spending a lot of time together for months.
Although the upper-class circle in Deeton City wasn't exactly the same as that in Juanton City, these circles were all at the same level with similar people. Even if they weren't close friends, they all knew each other, and so the news spread.
Before seven o'clock, a lot of people had arrived in the banquet hall.
The Tank family had an unusual position in both business and politics, so the people who were here this evening weren't ordinary people.
As she parked her car in front of the hotel, Scarlett glanced sideways at Raymond, " Are you nervous?" Raymond, knowing she was teasing him, took her hand and pinched it, "No, I'm not nervous.” 'Of course, | am so nervous.’ Scarlett snorted and followed him out of the car.
They came straight from the airport to the banquet hall, and Scarlett wasn't exactly dressed up, but she was good-looking and classy. Even though she was wearing a simple dress, she still drew a lot of stares when she entered the banquet hall.
