Many guests didn't expect Scarlett to come here. They were not surprised by Raymond's arrival, but Scarlett and Raymond showed up together. It was very surprising for them.
As soon as Scarlett and Raymond walked into the banqueting hall, many people started to talk about them.
"Is this my illusion? | see that Scarlett holds Raymond's arm and they walk in together. Have they been reconciled with each other? Won't Larry marry Scarlett? What has happened?" "I don't know either! The birthday party is grand today! | thought that the Tank family would announce the engagement of Larry and Scarlett!" "I heard that Scarlett had been reconciled with Raymond two months ago, but Scarlett often goes to the Tank family's villa recently. Now that Scarlett won't be Larry's fiancee, why does Rowan like her so much?" They talked excitedly. Scarlett ignored them. After she saw Viviana, she held Raymond's arm and walked towards Viviana.

When Viviana saw Scarlett, Viviana said " excuse me" to the guests in front. Then she turned around and greeted Scarlett, "Hi, Scarlett." "Hi, Viviana." Scarlett greeted Viviana. Viviana examined Raymond up and down. Scarlett felt shy and said, "He is my boyfriend, Raymond Shaw." Viviana glanced at her and smiled, "Don't you want to hide it from us anymore?" Scarlett felt embarrassed and said, "I haven't hidden it from you." Although Raymond was proud and aloof, he was polite.
Viviana disliked Raymond because he divorced Scarlett before, but Viviana changed her attitude when Raymond greeted her. Raymond was calm and respectful to Viviana. Viviana said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Shaw." Viviana looked at Scarlett and said," Scarlett, go to see your grandfather. He is in the lounge." Viviana said as she beckoned to a waiter to show the way for Scarlett and Raymond. Yesterday, Scarlett told Viviana and the others that Raymond would come here with her tonight.
Although their main purpose was to announce Scarlett's identity, it was Roman's birthday party. Viviana hoped that the party would end up smoothly. She was reluctant to see Rowan get angry in front of so many guests when he saw Raymond.
Scarlett understood Viviana's meaning. She glanced at Raymond and said, "You will see my grandfather later." Raymond looked down at her and nodded slightly, "OK. I'm not nervous." Hearing that, Scarlett burst into laughter, "I didn't say that you are nervous." Raymond compressed his lips and kept silent.
Scarlett felt that Raymond held her hand more tightly, but she didn't expose him. She held his hand and followed the waiter.
Soon, the waiter stopped.

The waiter said, "Ms. Reed, this is Mr.
Tank's lounge." Scarlett nodded, thanked the waiter and knocked on the door.
Soon, Rowan's assistant, Yair, opened the door. Seeing Scarlett, Yair smiled, "Hi, Ms. Reed." Scarlett asked, "Mr. Bowen, is my grandfather inside." "Mr. Tank is inside. Ms. Reed, Mr. Shaw, please come in." Yair left wisely. Scarlett held Raymond's hand and walked in.
Roman was drinking coffee. She said, "Hi, grandpa." Roman pulled a long face and said, "Didn't | say that | was reluctant to see him?"
