Many guests didn't expect Scarlett to come here. They were not surprised by Raymond’s arrival, but Scarlett and Raymond showed up together. It was very surprising for them.
As soon as Scarlett and Raymond walked into the banqueting hall, many people started to talk about them.
"Is this my illusion? I see that Scarlett holds Raymond's arm and they walk in together. Have they been reconciled with each other? Won't Larry marry Scarlett? What has happened?"
"I don't know either! The birthday party is grand today! I thought that the Tank family would announce the engagement of Larry and Scarlett!" "I heard that Scarlett had been reconciled with Raymond two months ago, but Scarlett often goes to the Tank family's villa recently. Now that Scarlett won't be Larry's fiancee, why does Rowan like her so much?"
They talked excitedly. Scarlett ignored them. After she saw Viviana, she held Raymond's arm and walked towards Viviana.
When Viviana saw Scarlett, Viviana said " excuse me" to the guests in front. Then she turned around and greeted Scarlett, "Hi, Scarlett."
"Hi, Viviana."
Scarlett greeted Viviana. Viviana examined Raymond up and down. Scarlett felt shy and said, "He is my boyfriend, Raymond
Shaw."
Viviana glanced at her and smiled, "Don't you want to hide it from us anymore?"
Scarlett felt embarrassed and said, "I haven't hidden it from you."
Although Raymond was proud and aloof, he was polite.
Viviana disliked Raymond because he divorced Scarlett before, but Viviana changed her attitude when Raymond greeted her. Raymond was calm and respectful to Viviana. Viviana said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Shaw."
Viviana looked at Scarlett and said," Scarlett, go to see your grandfather. He is in the lounge."
Viviana said as she beckoned to a waiter to show the way for Scarlett and Raymond. Yesterday, Scarlett told Viviana and the others that Raymond would come here with her tonight.
