Larry frowned slightly and said, "Raymond is a businessman. He is good at
negotiating. Do not be deceived by him."
Rowan snorted, "I'm in my eighties. I have experienced many things. How can I forgive him just because of what he has said? No way!"
Larry said, "Then what will you do? Scarlett likes him very much."
Rowan said, "There are so many outstanding young men. Scarlett is beautiful. Except for Raymond, she has many other choices."
Rowan smiled complacently, "I remember that Henry pursued Scarlett before, right?" Larry compressed his lips and said, "Henry is unfaithful in love."
Rowan stared at Larry and said, "You know many young men. Is no one worthy of Scarlett?"
Larry looked at Rowan and said, "No one is worthy of Scarlett."
In Larry’s eyes, Scarlett was the most beautiful and considerate girl. No one was worthy of her.
Larry introduced Peyton to Scarlett before because Larry wanted to make things difficult for Raymond. Larry knew Peyton well and guessed that Peyton and Scarlett wouldn’t have feelings for each other.
Rowan said, "You’re right, but Scarlett needs a man to protect her."
Larry kept silent.
Elderly people always thought that young men should get married.
Larry said, "It's time to go downstairs. Let’s go."
Rowan said, "Let's go. Today is not just my birthday!"
Larry smiled and helped Rowan go downstairs.
Almost all the guests had arrived. After Scarlett and Raymond went downstairs, they came up to Viviana.
Although the party was grand tonight, Viviana arranged the party personally. She didn’t ask for any help from Jessie's family.
Rowan took the microphone from Viviana's hand and spoke with a smile, "Today I have an important thing to announce at the party."
The offstage people began to talk about it.
Most of them were talking about the matter of Scarlett and Larry.
But Scarlett stood beside Raymond now.
Larry stood beside them and looked calm.
Was the Tank family so broad-minded?
When they were talking about that excitedly, Rowan said through the microphone, "As you know, my daughter was lost more than thirty years ago. My wife and I have never given up on finding her. However, the gods send nuts to those who have no teeth. My daughter, Pearl, died in a car accident ten years ago."
Mentioning Pearl, Rowan fell into a trance. He looked at somewhere. The others kept silent.
Rowan paused for two seconds and added," Luckily, Pearl got married and had a daughter before the accident. Although she passed away, she left a granddaughter for me. Today, I would like to introduce my granddaughter to you, Scarlett Reed."
