At that time, Priscilla didn't marry Rafael. She naturally didn't know about that incident. "Sister? What are you talking about?"
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Jessie and the others were confused too.
Rafael glanced at them with a sigh. "Thirty years ago, Rowan had a daughter called Pearl. Kate brought ten-year-old Pearl out while working, and then Pearl was abducted. The Tank family had been looking for Pearl for ten years, but there was no news about her. Probably because they are tired, they seem to have given up."
Rafael was stunned for a moment. "Do you
have Scarlett's picture?"
When Kate died, Rafael didn't pay attention to Scarlett. He just gave her a hasty glance.
Yet Rafael didn't forget Pearl since the ten-year-old Pearl looked like an angel.
At that time, Rafael's father was still alive. Rafael and Ben were close. They loved Pearl. Later, Pearl was lost. He and Ben had done everything to look for her for several years while they were at college. However, they failed. Over time, Rafael gave up.
Yet now he knew that the Tank family had never stopped looking for Pearl!
Jessie couldn't believe it. She found Scarlett's online photo and showed it to Rafael.
As soon as he saw the photo, Rafael froze." She looks like Pearl very much!" He just suspected that Scarlett was Pearl’s daughter before seeing the photo. Now he was sure.
Whether Scarlett was Pearl's daughter or not, Rowan would love Scarlett because her face was similar to Pearl's.
Rafael glanced at Jessie. "Did you do anything to Scarlett?"
Jessie’s face tightened. "I didn't, Dad!"
Rafael's face darkened. "Larry knows everything. I don't care what you did before. Don't lay a finger on Scarlett anymore or go to them recently! Wait until after Rowan's birthday party."
Rafael didn't want to quarrel with Ben.
Priscilla and Jessie had done many things behind his back over the years. Rafael was also a beneficiary, so he turned a blind eye. He didn't expect the presence of Scarlett. Scarlett had no idea what Jessie's family was thinking. Anyway, Scarlett knew that after Larry warned them, Jessie wouldn't dare to mess with her.
