Chapter 603: Don't Worry, I'll Replace You Eventually

Seeing Grandpa Brookes distressed, Scarlett couldn't help but console him, "Dad, I know it's hard when both your children are dear to you, just like Kiki and Mimi. I always try to be fair, but respect between people must be earned. Rachel has never apologized to Tina, instead she feels wronged-how can we not hold a grudge?"

"Besides, over the years, you've treated Rachel no worse than anyone else. What others have, she has too; what they don't, she eventually gets. It's just her own dissatisfaction."

Grandpa Brookes knew in his heart that Scarlett wasn't one to stir up trouble. Raised in the affluent Campbell family, she was not likely to be petty or suspicious.

Now, expressing these frustrations, he truly felt angry and disappointed with Rachel.

"Alas, Rachel's temperament isn't as easygoing as Jack and the others. From a young age, she only played with Angela, who is also quite reserved. If Alina were here, Rachel might not have become so isolated..." Grandpa Brookes found an excuse, flimsy as it was, but it sufficed.

Scarlett just smiled, saying nothing. Knowing a father's love for his daughter, she understood this all too well.

Just then, Kiki and Mimi ran in from outside, laughing, "Grandpa, Tina's here!"

Upon hearing that Tina had arrived, Grandpa Brookes quickly got up from his recliner and went to greet her.

Scarlett couldn't help but feel helpless, "Dad, slow down, Tina always tells you to take it easy."
