"As you said, Scarlett has run Tenton so well all by herself. That's enough to show her capability! My father used to say that Scarlett was the bravest and smartest of all the women he knew." Then Libby paused, "And she is also the most uncompromising woman." Libby and her family knew well about Scarlett's "uncompromising".
Now that Libby brought past things up, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Darrell knew his wife's character. He didn't mention the things that happened in the past. "What your father said about Ms. Reed was true. If you don't hate her, it’s not a bad thing to be friends with her." Libby nodded her head. She knew Darrell was right.

Scarlett didn't know Libby had thought so much about it. But she was surprised Libby defended her today.
"Ms. Reed." Scarlett collected her thoughts when she heard Frank call her. She tossed her head to look at Frank, "Yes?" "Ryker wants to see you." Two months after Raymond's accident, Ryker was convicted of kidnapping and he was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison.
Ryker's sons, Harold and Scott, were also in trouble. Harold had counted on his father and was now heavily in debt. When it ctto liquidate, he got no better outcthan his father.
Scott didn't go to jail. But his company was found to be in big trouble, and the company was fined more than $300 million. But they couldn't afford that much money at the time, so Scott had to sell sof Tenton's stock.
To Scarlett, Ryker and his family now were all snobs.
But why did Ryker want to see her? She knew it was no good thing without thinking about it.
Scarlett lowered her eyelids. "How's Ryker doing these days?" "He's been diagnosed with lung cancer. He applied for medical parole." "Medical parole?" Scarlett smiled, "No wonder he wants to see me." After a pause, Scarlett said, "Frank, please make an appointment for me." Frank nodded his head, "Okay, Ms. Reed." When Scarlett returned to Tenton, it was 2 p.m. After approving an application, Scarlett went to Mornet.

It was after 5 p.m. when the meeting was over. It was still raining and it was getting dark.
Scarlett took a look at her phone. Alexis had sent her a lot of photos on her journey.
Chris had also sent her a message. It should be early morning in Acatoca. There was a tdifference between the two cities.Scarlett hadn't contacted Chris since she got back.
Chris said he had another dream about her, but he didn't tell her what it was.
Reading Chris's message, Scarlett thought of the the whispered "naughty dream" in her ear, and she couldn't help but feel her face burnt.
"Ms. Reed." Katherine called her softly, and Scarlett snapped back, "What's up?" "Ms. Reed, Mr. Smith's secretary just called, and he asked if you were available this evening?" Scarlett had no plans tonight. It was one of those rare evenings when she didn't have to work late.
It was a little surprising that Alexander wanted to see her this evening. But Scarlett guessed for what reason Alexander wanted to see her. She smiled, "I'm free. Ask him the tand place." "Okay, Ms. Reed."
