Mrs. Tucker sighed. "Half a year after Linley married Roland, she found him having an affair with another woman. Later, someone told Roland what happened to Linley at university. Roland became even more reckless. He brought back that pregnant woman. Six months ago, Linley filed for divorce, but the Holden family didn't agree. They didn't want to give Linley a cent!"

Mrs. Tucker wiped her tears. "They are heartless! Linley has been married for more than two years. She worked every day like their maid. Roland cheated on her, but they said that Linley has been coveting their property from the beginning. They also said that if Linley wanted anything

from Roland, they would tell everyone in the town about that incident!

"My husband and I are old. We are not afraid of being cursed. For Linley's sake, we would have compromised, but Linley said we couldn't do so and that she earned a lot of money over the years but spent it or her family. Now the Holden family doesn't want to give her anything. She is very indignant, so she hasn't divorced Roland yet."

Mrs. Tucker sobbed, "They somehow heard that Linley earned money and bought a house in Juanton City, so they came over. They said that since Linley and Roland have not yet divorced, they have half of her house and money. They cornered me and asked me where Linley was."

Mrs. Tucker was enraged. She slapped Roland at the entrance of the community.

Roland pushed her hard. Mrs. Tucker fell and twisted her ankle.

Yet Mrs. Tucker didn't want to tell Scarlett about that.

She felt that they had troubled Scarlett too much. She did no longer want to disturb Scarlett with these messy matters.

"Ms. Reed, we'll settle this matter ourselves.

Scarlett's eyebrows moved. A cold light flashed across her pretty eyes. She looked at Mrs. Tucker. "I see. Do you remember what I asked you before?"

Mrs. Tucker was aged. Her memory was

bad. She had no idea what Scarlett referred

to, looking at her in a daze.

Scarlett smiled. "I asked you about Linley's divorce from her husband."

Mrs. Tucker realized what Scarlett meant. Her heart trembled. "Ms. Reed, I... I don't know what to say. I'm ashamed to bother you with these trivial matters."

"Don't stand on ceremony. Linley is my friend. I just can't bear to see others bully my friend. You can rest assured that the Holden family won't dare to harass you and Linley again."

Scarlett glanced down at Mrs. Tucker's foot. "Now that you are unwilling to go to the hospital, I'll ask my secretary to send some medicine to you. If the swelling doesn't go down in three days, you'll have to go to the hospital."

After knowing what was going on, Scarlett didn't stay there for long.

She left Moon Bay and went to Linley.

When Scarlett arrived, Linley was drawing. The sun was shining today. Linley was sitting on the window sill, holding a board and drawing seriously.

The caregiver at the door glanced at Scarlett. Just as he was about to speak, Scarlett shushed him. She then walked in with a slight smile.

Scarlett didn't wear high heels today, and her shoes were soft. She stepped over quietly.

Scarlett sat down on the sofa, put down her bag, and leaned back on the sofa while watching Linley.

After about ten minutes, Linley finally raised her head. When she saw Scarlett, she froze for a moment. "Scarlett, why are you here?" Scarlett smiled. "I have nothing to do today. I came to see you."

"Are you drawing the characters?"

Scarlett got up and walked over. She saw the gentleman on the paper. The figure looked a bit like the male protagonist of" Lost Youth".

Linley was embarrassed. "I haven't drawn for a long time. I'm not very satisfied with it."

"As long as the boss is satisfied. I think it's quite good."

Scarlett had read "Lost Youth". Although readers had different opinions of the characters, it didn't mean that the characters designed by the comic book writer could be completely different from those in the novel.

It was hard for comic book writers to design good main characters.

Scarlett could see which character Linley drew at a glance. That meant Linley was successful.

As for the rest problems, Linley could modify her designs little by little.

Linley's eyes lit up when she heard Scarlett's words. "Really?"

"No!"

Hearing the mischief in Scarlett's voice, Linley laughed. "I'm so happy, Scarlett."
