Chapter 2389
Could it be about his true identity?
In that case, she might as well wait and see.
If he disappointed her again, he would learn his lesson!
Snaking his arm around Maggie’s waist, Sanford asked the group, “Let’s go for dinner, shall we?”
“Yeah.
We should,” Brian responded, hanging up the phone and pulling Rosalynn into a side hug.
Guided by the hotel staff, the group headed to the restaurant at the ground floor.
Apart from the buffet in the indoor restaurant, there was also an open-air barbecue and bonfire party outside the hotel.
They ate dinner in the indoor restaurant while chatting with each other about various topics.
“Lyndon, isn’t it already a week since Scarlet returned to Betton? She hasn’t caused any trouble since, nor has she returned to Skrix.
Does she have a new target now after seeing my loyalty to Maggie?”
Sanford asked with a raised eyebrow, taking the bowl of soup that Maggie was handing to him.
Lyndon finished wiping Sheldon’s hands with a wet tissue and smiled, responding to Sanford, “Sorry to burst your bubble, but her silence has nothing to do with you.
She scurried away out of fear that I might target her next for what she did.
”
“Really? Why would you target her? What happened?” Tilda asked, joining the conversation.
Lyndon glanced at Tilda and shared how he taught Evita a lesson after following Scarlet’s order to drug Tilda.
Scarlet panicked that she might be next, so she fled.
Everyone was surprised by the revelation.
Understanding the situation, Sanford nodded.
“So, that’s the story.
”
“Evita must resent Scarlet so much now,” Maggie observed.
Evita wouldn’t have been busted if Scarlet went to the hotel.
But Scarlet only used Evita and saved herself, abandoning the Latter to her fate.
“Which is exactly what I want to happen.
” Lyndon’s expression turned cold.
“After the news that Evita slept with a homeless man broke out, the Lawrence family resented my second uncle, Scarlet’s father.
The issue became so big that even their business was affected.
From what I heard, some of my uncle’s biggest projects were canceled for no reason, The board of directors were unhappy, pinning the blame on my uncle for not disciplining his daughter better.
Because of this, my uncle reprimanded Scarlet and grounded her indefinitely.
She isn’t allowed to leave until further notice.
”
But Lyndon knew that part of the reason why his uncle grounded Scarlet was to protect her from him.
Afraid that he might get back at Scarlet for what happened to Tilda, his uncle locked his daughter up.
At this point, it would be better if his uncle started to find a suitable man for Scarlet and marry her off.
“How cunning! Scarlet deserved a harsher punishment, if you’d ask me,”
Karina commented.
Lyndon smiled.
“Don’t worry.
She’ll get it soon enough.
My uncle is traditional.
He values boys more than girls in the family.
To him, the only use of a daughter is to marry her into a good family.
He’d focus more on his son’s future, so he’d probably force Scarlet to marry someone from a family he deemed fit, regardless if she opposed or not.
That will be her punishment.
”
The approach seemed to make perfect sense, so the four women nodded in understanding.
Changing the topic, Rosalynn turned to Tilda and asked, “Tilda, how are things going with your family after what happened?”
The recent issue involving the Larson family reached everyone in the upper class circle, including Rosalynn’s family.
“My father kicked out my stepmother,” Tilda revealed.
After Tilda left her family’s house with Lyndon that night, a servant informed her that her father confronted Hyde with Renata about their rumored affair.
Intimidated and scared, Hyde immediately admitted to having an affair with Renata to Tilda’s father.
Not only did Hyde disclose the affair but he also dragged Renata through the dirt.
He claimed she seduced him and that his only mistake was giving in to her advances.
Renata was so mad at him that she scratched his face.
Tilda’s father remained composed during the confrontation, but his retaliation was ruthless.
He figured lynching would be such an easy punishment, so he reported all the evidence of Hyde’s embezzlement and other crimes to the police, effectively convicting the latter and sending him behind bars.
Renata, on the other hand, was sent to a club.
When the police arrived to arrest her, they found her having sex with a group of male escorts.
