Scarlett Xavier ate while listening to Felix Rhodes, realizing she hadn't seen her second brother for a long time.
Hearing his voice at this moment felt quite warm and familiar.
Jonah Morgan glanced at Scarlett and asked Felix, "So, Julian Rhodes hasn't come home yet?"
"Not yet." Felix replied, "Can you at least let him know something about Scarlett? Just to ease his mind a bit. Honestly, I think Julian's right—how can you feel secure leaving Scarlett alone in Veridia? You're so calm, it's making me wonder if Scarlett has actually come back."
Scarlett: "..."
Second brother sure is good at guessing!
Since Scarlett had returned today, hearing her second brother's call made her suspicious if Felix was intentionally saying these things.
Jonah said, "Let's just assume she's back."
...
Jonah hung up the phone, looked at Scarlett, and asked, "When do you plan to meet Julian?"
Her matters with Julian needed to be resolved sooner or later.
