The way those Rowan's grandnephews looked at Scarlett during the funeral yesterday also made Rowan uncomfortable.
As his granddaughter, how dare they size Scarlett up?
"You plan this party as soon as possible after your grandmother's funeral."
As Scarlett listened to Rowan's words, she was touched by the fact that the Tank family really didn't want her to suffer any aggravation.
After Rowan hung up the phone, Scarlett said," Grandpa, actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry. And my grandmother just passed away. It's not appropriate to do so."
After all, Rowan was planning a party right after her grandmother passed away. Therefore, others might denigrate them behind the Tank family's back because of that upcoming party.
Rowan snorted and said, "How dare they judge our family? Your grandmother has waited for you for so many years. She might have been happier if she had publicly acknowledged you as our Tank family's granddaughter before she passed away!"
Scarlett naturally believed what Rowan said, but
people would gossip. "Grandpa, isn't your birthday party being held in August? And you have more guests coming to your birthday party. Perhaps it would be better if you announced my identity then."
Rowan thought for a moment and decided she was right. "You're right."
Scarlett smiled. "I've been through all these years. As long as you, my uncle, and my brother know me, I'm fine. I don't care about anyone else."
Hearing Scarlett's words, Rowan felt sad. "Don't worry. As long as I am here, no one will bully you!"
Scarlett felt very embarrassed. In fact, she hadn't really met anyone who could bully her for so many years.
However, she naturally would not refuse Grandpa's care for her. "As long as I have you, then of course no one dares to bully me."
Although Kate passed away, that was a relief for her. And she was smiling when she passed away. She must have died with no regrets.
Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't he in negotiations with Tsing Corporation last week?"
Katherine nodded. "I heard Tsing Corporation didn't want to invest that much money."
Scarlett understood instantly. It seemed that Ronald was using Mornet Corporation as a backup plan.
In the past, Scarlett wouldn't be angry about it. The most she could do was suppress her anger a little more, but she hadn't been in a good mood lately. "I won't see him."
"Okay, Miss Reed."
Katherine knew what happened after Scarlett went to the Tank family. And Kate had passed away a few days before, so Scarlett was probably not in a good mood.
Then, Katherine stopped talking. It was quiet inside the car. And Scarlett closed her eyes and took a nap.
