“Andie also texted me.”
The message that popped up on the phone screen was exactly the same as the one in Scarlett’s phone.
“I haven’t been feeling great lately, so I’m going out to clear my mind. I’ll be back in a couple of days.”
Scarlett leaned in, looked at two identical messages, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“This girl, even the text messages have to be exactly the same, copying and pasting is too lazy.”
She lightly tapped the screen with her fingertips.
“I’m getting lazier and lazier, even just saying hi feels so perfunctory.”
Although there was a hint of anger in his words, there was a gentle glint in his eyes.
Lucian walked into the living room and loosened his tie.
“There have been too many things happening recently, it’s good to go out and relax.”
He turned his gaze to the darkening sky outside.
“Weren’t you planning to send her back abroad before? Now she’s willing to go out and have a walk, it’s better than staying at home all day.”
Scarlett sighed softly.

“Yeah, during this time…things have been pretty chaotic both at home and outside.”
She lowered her gaze in thought, then suddenly changed the subject.
“By the way, did you go see Roderick before you came back?”
Lucian furrowed his brow, his tone tinged with a hint of melancholy.
“I’ve seen it, the doctor said he needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days, the Turner family this time…”
He paused and didn’t continue.
The living room fell into a brief silence, only the ticking of the grandfather clock was audible.
Scarlett bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.
“Lucian, those things online…”
She pondered her words, “What do you think of Roderick and Andie?”
She caught a glimpse of her husband’s body tensing slightly out of the corner of her eye, but he still maintained a calm tone.
“Just some people spreading rumors and causing trouble, don’t take it to heart.”
“But I always feel…”
Scarlett clenched the sofa cushion.
“Roderick’s gaze towards Andie over the years was different from his gaze towards others, why did Matilda specifically focus on the sibling relationship?”
She looked up at her husband, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Lucian put his hand on his wife’s cold hand, gently rubbing his thumb.
“Don’t overthink it, Roderick is the only son, it’s normal for him to dote on his little sister.”
Seeing how confident he sounded, Scarlett didn’t press him further.
“Okay,”
At Cloud Gallery.
Because the first two live broadcasts went so well, the whole office was buzzing with excitement.
The equipment was already debugged, the crowd in the gallery was ready to go, but the main figure was conspicuously absent.
“Why hasn’t Ms. Rehbein arrived yet?”
Tessa glanced down at her watch.
“She said she would come back early today last night, but it’s already past that time.”
Caspar listened, then suddenly looked down and played with his phone.
He opened the chat history with Andrea, quickly typed out a bunch of messages, but hesitated to press the send button.
“Maybe something held them up, let’s wait a bit longer.”
Upon hearing that, he quietly put away his phone.
People were whispering to each other when the glass door was suddenly pushed open.

Darnell walked in quickly with a stack of documents, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
“I’m late, has the live stream not started yet?”
“Ms. Rehbein hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Andrea didn’t tell you guys?”
Darnell took out his phone.
