Chapter 186

"There were quite a few people outside the banquet hall today, all here for the Myer family. I've also looked into the situation at Payne Group." After Matthew finished speaking, Scarlett felt as if everything about her had been laid bare. The issues at Payne Group were like a fig leaf for her, and now it had been stripped away. Especially in front of Matthew, her childhood friend. Scarlett remained silent for a moment before sighing. "Originally, I didn't want to trouble you, but now there's a bit of a problem. If the Myer family isn't willing, I won't push further." After saying this, Scarlett felt uneasy. When he heard this, Matthew simply smiled. "Just as I thought, Scarlett. If you're facing any difficulties, you can tell me directly. There's no need to hide things from me." After Matthew's words, Scarlett felt even more embarrassed. In the end, she could only sigh. "Mr. Myer, I was wondering if you would be willing to help Payne Group?" Scarlett asked directly. Upon hearing this, Matthew simply smiled. "Scarlett, your words make me feel like you're being too formal. Do you really think I'm that stingy? However, this matter isn't that simple either. I need to discuss it with the higher-ups first." After Matthew finished speaking, Scarlett didn't press further and just smiled. "You must have your own concerns, and I understand that." After saying this, Scarlett felt a glimmer of hope. At least he had agreed to consider it, which meant there was still a chance. Just as Scarlett was about to ask more questions, the car suddenly came to a stop. "We've arrived at the villa. Just wait for my update." After Matthew spoke, Scarlett nodded and got out of the car. However, she couldn't help but wonder whether Matthew's actions were out of genuine friendship or if he had other motives. Payne Group was insignificant compared to the Myer family. So, what was the real reason behind the Myer family's willingness to help? Scarlett's mind was filled with endless thoughts as she made her way back to the villa. It was dark and quiet when she arrived. Heidi had already gone to bed. Scarlett slowed her steps, lost in her own musings. Laying in bed, she couldn't shake Leroy's words from her mind. Had he really gone to the hospital? The questions flooded her thoughts and kept her awake throughout the night. She wanted to call Leroy multiple times, but she resisted the urge. The Myer family's actions toward Leroy earlier that day spoke volumes. They most likely wouldn't be visiting him in the hospital. This would complicate matters for Scarlett. Meanwhile, after taking a cab, Leroy headed straight for the hospital instead of returning home. Seeing Yvonne lying in the hospital room left him feeling bewildered. His professional skills were being questioned, and now he felt like he had been used by Scarlett. It all seemed absurd to him. "Leroy?" Wesley's voice echoed down the corridor. Leroy was a bit taken aback, but he quickly made his way over to Wesley. "It's so late, why are you still here?" Leroy asked with curiosity as he reached Wesley. Wesley let out a sigh. "You haven't been at the hospital recently, so you don't know what's going on. We've run into some major issues in the last couple of days. Have you heard about the Myer family?" At this point, Leroy's body shook slightly, and he became confused. "The Myer family?" "Are you talking about Mr. Myer Senior's situation?" Leroy said, causing Wesley to be surprised.
