“You… have you lost your mind?” Matthew never expected his eldest daughter to have this kind of attitude.

He had assumed what she said that day was just anger.

He was her biological father.

How could she just sever their relationship like that?

After speaking, Scarlett walked into the Quinn Estate without looking back.

Matthew was fuming. He wanted to follow her inside and slap some sense into her for her disrespect.

He was just about to go after her.

But the butler at the entrance stopped him.

The butler wore a polite smile. “I’m sorry, sir, but this is a private Quinn family banquet. Without an invitation, no one is allowed inside.”

Only then did Matthew calm down, his eyes fixed coldly on his eldest daughter’s retreating figure.

Leona stood at the entrance, also watching Scarlett with a cold gaze.

Something was definitely off about Scarlett.

She had previously assumed all those performances on the show were just scripted acts.

But now, one by one, they were being proven real.

How could it possibly be scripted?

There was no way Bluebird Media could have gotten the Quinns and Crawfords to play along with some act for Scarlett’s sake.

Who did Scarlett think she was?

The Quinns wouldn’t even give the Baileys the time of day.

The Quinns and the Crawfords, one a wealthy elite family and the other connected to political circles, would never do something like that.

So everything Scarlett had shown on the program was real.

At the very least, she had martial arts training and could perform psychic readings.

The only question was whether she had learned these things before or if they had suddenly appeared.

Could it be that the crystal bead hadn’t actually been lost?

What if Scarlett had somehow used it?

But if the crystal bead really had been used by Scarlett, the “Treasure Hunter” should have been able to detect it.

Leona understood the situation clearly.

Now that the crystal bead was gone, whether it was truly lost or not, the chances of getting it back were basically zero.

So there was no need to show Scarlett any more courtesy.

If the opportunity arose in the future, she might as well just destroy her.

Scarlett entered the Quinn Estate.

Besides the banquet set up in the main reception hall, there was also a beautifully decorated garden at the front entrance for welcoming guests.

Alex was standing in the garden with a few of his friends, secretly observing Scarlett.

Their spot was fairly hidden, in a leisure gazebo behind the main garden area.

Scarlett sensed someone watching her from the garden.

She turned her head and glanced in that direction.

Through the layers of flowers and trees, she spotted Alex and his friends.

Alex was Zoey’s nephew.

The last time Callie went to the police station, Zoey had gone with Alex.

Scarlett turned back and continued walking toward the reception hall inside.

Back in the garden, Alex exclaimed in surprise, “Did Scarlett just spot us?”

Another young man with dyed blonde hair scratched his head. “No way. This spot is way too hidden. She definitely didn’t see us. And hey, why are we out here watching anyway? Let’s just go inside.”

Alex nodded.

“Yeah, let’s go. Let’s head in.”

They were just curious about Scarlett, which was why they had been standing outside watching.

They had also seen Scarlett say something to Matthew at the entrance.

Of course, they were too far away to hear what she said to her father.

But judging by their expressions, whatever she said probably wasn’t pleasant. It had clearly made Matthew

furious.

Scarlett entered the main hall.

There weren’t too many people at the banquet, though there were quite a few older guests.

They were probably relatives and elders from both families.

Scarlett spotted Zoey and Callie.

Zoey was leading Callie around, introducing her to friends and family from both sides.

Callie was wearing a yellow dress today.

She was still very thin. After all, it had only been about ten days. Even though both families had treated her wonderfully and even hired a professional nutritionist to help with her diet and recovery, Callie had been beaten so severely by Pamela over the years that her body had been damaged to its core.

Even with careful nurturing, it would be very difficult for her to fully recover.

Unless they started treating her with medicine.

So Callie was still a bit thin.

The dress hung a little loosely on her frame.

But her complexion was better than before, and her face radiated a happy smile.

Zoey was holding her daughter’s hand as she spoke to their friends and family.

“This is our daughter, Callie Crawford. It’s a long story. Back at the hospital, Gemma’s mother deliberately switched our babies. This is our real biological daughter.

“Gemma’s biological mother didn’t treat her well all these years. If it weren’t for Ms. Sanchez, I probably would have spent my whole life in the dark, treating my enemy’s daughter like a treasure…”

Thinking about Gemma and her biological mother made Zoey clench her teeth in anger.

That woman had already gotten what she deserved. She was still locked up in detention, waiting for the court date and sentencing.

Aside from the closest relatives of the Quinns and Crawfords, the other friends and extended family hadn’t known for sure whether Callie was really the Crawfords daughter during all the recent drama,

When everything had blown up, they hadn’t felt comfortable calling to ask

Now that both families were hosting this banquet together, they finally believed it

They all looked at Callie with sympathy in their eyes

The poor girl had been through so much. That woman has been absolutely heartless
