Chapter 182

However, the Myer family had kept a low profile. The party had been rather private and not many people had been invited. Grace hadn't paid much attention to it either. Thomas smiled and said, "Grace, if we can just meet with the Myer family, we're sure to get some help. What the company needs is a reliable backer right now." After hearing Thomas' words, Scarlett started pondering. Come to think of it, this might not be such an impossible thing. "But we haven't been invited. Wouldn't it be risky to show up unannounced?" Grace interjected. After all, it was the Myer family they were dealing with, and they had to be cautious. Scarlett frowned, and the idea gradually began to fade away. In addition to the news he had already shared, Thomas had another piece of information for Scarlett. "There's something else that brought me here, Scarlett. The Myer family is looking for a doctor, and Mr. Myer Senior is still sick. They didn't find a suitable solution while they were abroad." Scarlett could use this opportunity to win favor with the Myer family. This suggestion from Thomas implied that Leroy could assist with the matter and potentially lead to a positive outcome. Grace furrowed her brow slightly at this idea, as it felt like taking advantage of Leroy's skills. After seeing Thomas off, Grace looked at Scarlett with a serious expression. "Lettie, are you sure you want to do this? Should we inform Dr. Olson in advance?" Grace waited for a response, but Scarlett hesitated. "Not for now. The Myer family's status is extraordinary. The fewer people who know about this, the better." After Scarlett finished speaking, Grace nodded reluctantly. If Dr. Olson found out he was being used, it was hard to say how he would view Scarlett. That evening, Scarlett deliberately brought Leroy to Willow Bay Dining. "Do we really need to go through all this trouble just for a meal?" Leroy watched Scarlett's secretive behavior and couldn't help but feel that something was off about the evening. "Once we go inside, don't say too much. Just stay close behind me. Understood?" Scarlett spoke with utmost seriousness, and Leroy nodded slightly. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel curious. What could possibly make Scarlett this tense? Following behind Scarlett, as soon as they entered the main hall, they noticed a group of people waiting outside. This scene puzzled Leroy. Why were the people dining at the restaurant waiting in the lobby instead of being in private rooms? What was going on? "Surprisingly, Ms. Payne has arrived. I had assumed that the Payne Group was too prestigious to think about something like this." "That's not true. Payne Group is facing a similar situation to ours, and they're looking for a chance to make a breakthrough," countered my colleague. "But she's a divorced woman. Mr. Myer would never be interested in someone like her." As soon as Scarlett walked in, the room erupted in quiet murmurs and gossip. Leroy furrowed his brow, feeling lost. The information about Payne Group was only what Cedric had shared with him, and he never imagined it would be like this. Who was this Matthew person? Despite the comments from those around her, Scarlett marched directly toward the door of the banquet hall. It suddenly dawned on Leroy that everyone was waiting for Matthew, who was inside the banquet hall. This realization only added to his confusion. When did the Myer family appear in Ashbourne? The doors of the banquet hall swung open and heads turned in anticipation. A burly man, resembling a bodyguard, emerged from the doorway and scanned the room before his gaze landed on Scarlett. "Ms. Payne, our Mr. Myer is waiting for you. Please follow me." The bodyguard led the way, leaving everyone in shock. Did Scarlett really go inside? Wasn't the Payne Group already struggling? Why was there still a connection to the Myer family?
