Chapter 157 Multi Billionaire

"Carter, you said Sister Scarlett owns a company? What company!?" Ella was the first to speak, too curious to know who Scarlett Piers was.

Carter Riley nodded at Ella. Then said, "Sister Ella, compared to your company, my sister-in-law's company, I believe, has far more assets than yours!"

"WHAT!" All the elders shouted in shock.

Ella laughed at Carter's confession.

"You gotta be kidding, Young Master Carter! Maybe you said it wrong, not Harris' group but H Entertainment, right!?" Ella said with an irritated smile.

How could this ordinary woman, Scarlett Piers, beat her family's top ten companies in the capital!?

"No! I am not wrong." Carter shook his head. "Harris Group, nothing compares to my sister-in..." Carter stopped his sentence when he felt Scarlett tapping his shoulder.

He looks at her with a confused look as to why she stopped him from boasting about her company — he was helping her to raise her reputation.

"Sis, why..." Carter stopped his words after seeing Scarlett shake her head as if she was giving him a sign not to continue. Although confused, he still complied with her request.

Scarlet smiled, seeing all the elders, including Old Riley, looking at her as if waiting for her to respond.

"...don't listen to Carter. My company is nothing compared to all the seniors here. I'm just a small company that opened in the capital last month." said Scarlett.

"May I know your company name?" Ella Harris asked again.

Scarlett was gazing absent-mindedly at Ella Harris before saying, "Maybe you've never heard my company name..."

"Nonsense!" Carter chimed in. "...Sister Ella, I'm sure you will be shocked when you hear my sister-in-law's company name!"

Scarlett was speechless. This idiot Carter has forgotten how to shut up!? How troublesome!!

Now, all eyes were on Scarlett, and she had no choice but to tell them.

"Sister Ella, I don't know if you've ever heard of RAS!?" Scarlett asked.

Ella's eyes widened in shock and she opened her mouth several times, but no word could be heard. It was enough to let Scarlett know that Ella Harris knew about RAS.

Scarlett curled her lips into a smile, and light danced with joy in her eyes. For some reason, she felt her mood slightly lift after seeing Ella's shocking expression.

"RAS!? What company is that?" one of the elders mumbled. He had never heard of that company in this country.

"I've never heard of RAS. In what business?" asked another Elder.

Ella, who was still shocked to hear that Scarlett was the RAS company's owner, finally regained her senses. She cleared her throat slowly and said, "Wait! Do you mean your company, Red Animation Studio? A big studio in the US?"

It was clear from Ella Harris' tone that she still doubted Scarlett's confession. There was no way a woman this young could own a company as big as RAS! Impossible. Moreover, she only comes from a small island, and her family is not wealthy.

Ella Harris remembered RAS was founded a few years ago by a wealthy family living in New York. So, it couldn't be that this girl was referring to Red Animation Studios, right!?

Scarlett smiled at Ella's doubtful-looking eyes. Just before she wanted to reply, once again, Carter chimed in.

"Hahaha, see! Sis Ella must know about Red Animation Studio. Now you understand what I'm saying, right? Your family company cannot compete with my sister-in-law's assets because she fully owns RAS." Carter said proudly.

Truthfully, he just found out about this fact a few days ago from Cruz. Previously, he had thought Scarlett was just one of the RAS Directors at the Astington branch, but it turned out that she was the actual owner.

Scarlett glared at Carter as if she was scolding him through her eyes, 'Damn you, Carter Riley!! Can you not steal my lines!?'

"Young Master Carter, please don't joke around with such things," Ella said calmly and sent Scarlett a cold smile. She continued, "It's not funny if later Sister Scarlett is sued by Red Animation Studio for claiming to be a fake owner!" Ella clearly couldn't believe it. There's no way this average girl is the owner of the RAS.

Moreover, in the past, she's been in contact with Red Animation Studio in LA. And from there, she knows who RAS's CEO and owner are.

The elders all started talking again, confused by the conversation between Carter and Ella.

"What company is that? How come we never heard of it?"

"RAS!? I've heard of it, but I'm not sure. I think they just opened an office in the Palm Avenue area..." said the gray-haired old man. He remembered selling his land and buildings to that company last year.

"New company? But why did Young Master Carter say that the company actually beat the assets of my Harris Group!?" Old Harris mumbled.

Inwardly, old Harris was very annoyed to be compared with such a small company. But, seeing his granddaughter's shocked reaction worried him as to whether what Carter said was true.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Amidst everyone's confusion, Carter suddenly explained, "I don't mean to brag here, but I am stating the facts! Red Animation Studio just opened a branch in the country, sure they are small in the country, but overseas? They are a company worth billions! And, having so many branches in major cities across the continent..."

Walter Riley, sitting beside Scarlett, was amazed to hear Carter's explanation. "Carter, you mean... Scarlett's company is a major animation and game company in the US?" asked Old Riley.

"Yes, grandpa!!" A satisfied smile appeared on Carter's face. He continued, "Grandfather, do you know about our company's fantasy movie project?"

"Yes, I remember!" Walter Riley recalled the report he read that the film was delayed. The director did not want to work on it if Red Animation Studios were not hired to perform a significant part of the movie.

In an instant, Old Riley was struck by the memory. He looked at Scarlet with a deep gaze before saying,  "Heavens!! Scarlett, so RAS is your company? That's why you accepted the collaboration with the director!?"
