Scarlett glanced at Katherine, and Katherine stepped aside knowingly.
When there was only Scarlett and Libby, Scarlett looked at Libby and asked, "What's the matter? Can you talk about it now?"
Thinking of the words she heard just now, Libby felt hesitant. "When I went to the washroom just now, I passed a room. Its door was open. I glanced curiously and found an acquaintance inside, so I stopped for a while and happened to hear them mention you. That person is Ryker's secretary. I heard him say that they had made preparations and they were waiting for you on Uslaraw Road to take you away."
Libby glanced at Scarlett, feeling that she might be a little abrupt. "Maybe I heard it wrong."
The relationship between Ryker and Raymond was not good, and Scarlett was Raymond's girlfriend. Besides, Scarlett teamed up with Raymond to teach Ryker a lesson not long ago, so Libby thought it possible for Ryker to take revenge on Scarlett and Raymond.
Scarlett looked at Libby in front of her. To be honest, Scarlett was quite surprised and felt a little moved.
Scarlett smiled. "I see, thank you."
Finding that Scarlett was not worried, Libby felt a little embarrassed, as she thought that she was too nervous. "It's nothing. Maybe I'm too sensitive."
Scarlett knew what Libby was thinking, but it was not appropriate to explain now.
Since Ryker wanted to kidnap Scarlett, he must have arranged for someone to follow her.
Detailed explanations would inevitably make Ryker suspicious of Scarlett.
During this period, Frank arranged for someone to keep an eye on Ryker, so Raymond could have already known about Ryker's intention.
Ryker was a time bomb anyway. If it didn’t explode, Scarlett felt annoyed.
So, Scarlett intended to take advantage of tonight and detonated the bomb herself in order to dispel her misgivings.
Scarlett thanked Libby again."... I see. Don't worry. Go back to the room. I'll leave."
As Scarlett said, she glanced at Katherine who was aside. "Katherine, let's go." Katherine, who was standing not far away, didn't know why Scarlett asked her to leave. But since Scarlett said those words, she walked towards Scarlett.
Libby stood, staring at Scarlett's back. She hesitated for a while and called, "Scarlett."
Hearing Libby calling her, Scarlett paused and looked back with a smile. "Miss Jones, is there anything else?"
"Do you need help?"
While Libby was talking, a man passed by her.
