Chapter 353 You Probably Know Her



"I'm fine. It's just because I've been exposed to the sea breeze for too long," she said. Although the temperature in the area was relatively warm, the sea wind seemed to make her shiver inexplicably.

"Let's go back," Xander said, leading her back indoors.

...

As they walked towards the elevator, Xander remembered something.

"Baby, I completely forgot to mention," he said, glancing at her and locking eyes. "Rex invited us to have dinner at his villa. He wants to introduce us to his girlfriend. I already agreed that we'll go. I hope you're okay with it," he confessed, sounding somewhat guilty.

Scarlett was taken aback by the fact that Rex had personally reached out to Xander. 

'Was Rex trying to show off his new girlfriend to Xander? Oh, goodness!' Scarlett could only shake her head, feeling amused. 

"Well, no problem. Actually, his girlfriend has already contacted me and invited me as well," Scarlett explained.

Xander felt relieved. He had been worried that he made a decision without consulting her first.

"Oh, so you're acquainted with his girlfriend?" Xander was genuinely surprised. He had always suspected that Rex had feelings for Scarlett. He felt something was off. How could Rex suddenly have a girlfriend?

"Yes," Scarlett smiled, her thoughts drifting to Casey Adams. "Well, I assume you also know his girlfriend. She's quite famous!"

Xander was taken aback by her response. "Who is it?"

"I won't tell you. You'll see yourself!" Scarlett mischievously giggled as she dashed out of the elevator and hurried towards their suite. Xander could only chuckle, watching his playful wife darting away like a rabbit.

Scarlett sank into the sofa as soon as she entered the living room. She hadn't expected her meeting to end so early. Now she had nothing else to do since she didn't have to go to the police station to testify.

"Xander, is it okay that I don't have to go to the police station?" Scarlett asked, her head finding a comfortable spot on his lap.

"Yes, there's no need," Xander gently rubbed her cold cheeks before continuing, "I've asked Ben and Logan to handle everything there. You don't need to go..." he explained.

Xander didn't want his wife to exhaust herself by going to the police station to make an official report. It wasn't necessary, as Logan had been present at the scene with Scarlett. Logan's presence at the police station was enough.

"Oh, okay," Scarlett replied. She didn't want to deal with crowds of people at the police station.

"What would you like to do?" Xander asked, noticing her frequent yawns.

"Well, it seems like I need to catch up on my office work," Scarlett replied, feeling guilty about neglecting her responsibilities at RAS during her New Year's holiday. She hadn't even checked her work email.

"Alright, I'll keep you company here," Xander said, switching on the television and turning his attention to the business news.

Scarlett returned to the sofa after retrieving her laptop from the bedroom. She sat down next to Xander and became engrossed in her laptop screen. She read a few reports from her employee. 

Before long, Scarlett opened her email. She was taken aback by a message from someone she hadn't heard from in a long time.

'Uncle Harvey!' Scarlett whispered to herself as she read the email. Her eyes grew blurry as she absorbed the contents. How did he find out about the news? Had it reached the country where he currently resided?

"Xander, I need to make a call," Scarlett said, setting her laptop aside and glancing at him.

"To whom?" Xander inquired.

"Harvey Olson, you still remember him, right?" Scarlett replied.

"Ah, yes, of course, I remember him. Go ahead and give him a call," he said with a smile as he watched her head toward their bedroom.

On the third ring, the phone line connected. Scarlett couldn't help but smile bitterly as she heard Uncle Harvey offer his condolences. It brought another wave of pain to her heart, and she struggled to hold back her sobs.

"So, how are you feeling now?" Harvey Olson asked, his voice filled with sympathy.

"U-Uncle, I'm fine. I've taken care of everything here, and I plan to return to the capital tomorrow afternoon," she explained.

"That's good to hear. Scarlett... I'm sorry I wasn't there. I couldn't fly over to see you right away," he said, his voice tinged with regret. His concern touched Scarlett deeply.

"It's okay, Uncle. You've reached out to me amidst your busy schedule... that means a lot to me," Scarlett replied. She paused for a moment, her curiosity arose. How did this news reach him? She had been careful not to let it spread to the foreign media.

"Uncle, may I ask how you found out about the incident?" Scarlett asked. 

"Well, I called your assistant last night to inquire about some work, and he informed me about it," Harvey replied.

"Oh, so Cruz told you," Scarlett said, her confusion fading.

"Yes, why?" Harvey asked, sensing her curiosity.

"It's nothing. I was just wondering why you knew. I've taken precautions to ensure this news doesn't surface in the foreign media. I was worried that someone who knows my last name would connect me to this incident," Scarlett explained, her worry evident in her voice.

"I don't think it made it to the news. If I hadn't spoken to Cruz, I wouldn't have known," Harvey reassured her. He understood that Scarlett was a private person, always concealing her true identity and altering her appearance to maintain her anonymity.

Only a select few knew that she was the true owner of Red Animation Studio and were aware of her real identity. Even then, only those in vital positions within the company were privy to this information.

"Thank goodness," Scarlett chuckled in relief. "Uncle, where are you now? If I'm not mistaken, you're in Europe, right?"

"Yes, I'm in Rome. But in two weeks, I'll be flying to M Country."

Scarlett was pleasantly surprised. "I hope you can stay there a little longer, uncle," she said excitedly.

"Huh? Why?" Harvey asked, curious about her request.

"Because I have plans to visit M Country in early February. If you have the time, we can meet there," Scarlett explained eagerly.

"That's great! I have movie shots scheduled in that country, so I'll be staying there for a few months," Harvey replied enthusiastically.

"Perfect! See you there, uncle," Scarlett said joyfully. She was thrilled at the thought of finally meeting Uncle Harvey, whom she considered to be her own family.
