Chapter 470 Investigate Scarlett Piers

At the same time, in a luxurious office in the central business district, not far from the hospital, Maggie Gilwynn sat on the sofa with a man in a black suit sitting across from her, who happened to be her head bodyguard, Alan Smith.

"Milady, why did you suddenly summon me here?" Alan Smith asked, clearly puzzled. They had been sitting there for a few minutes without Maggie saying a single word, but he could see a wave of anger and resentment flicker in her eyes.

Maggie was lost in thought, pondering what she had seen in the hospital — Scarlett Piers. She had been curious about Scarlett since their first encounter at her brother's birthday party.

She had even asked someone to investigate Scarlett, and she found out that Scarlett had worn a disguise at the party. That time, she hadn't seen a need for further investigation, as she didn't consider Scarlett Piers a threat.

However, when she saw Francis talking to that woman earlier and hearing Francis call her name Scarlett, her mind flashed back to her previous investigation.

Maggie was shocked to realize that the girl was Scarlett Piers. What left her truly astounded was Scarlett's true face. Today was the first time she had seen it so clearly, as she had previously only glimpsed a blurry image. The uncanny resemblance between Scarlett and her father makes Maggie feel very confused.

'Why did Scarlett Piers resemble my father so much?'

Maggie couldn't understand how Scarlett could share physical traits with her father when she had never been granted the privilege of having similarities.

question something that had never crossed her mind. Not once.

Scarlett's hair and eye color similarity to her father made Maggie question something that had never crossed her mind. Not once.

'Is she really my father's daughter?'

Just thinking about it could make her chest feel as if someone had tightened a vice around it.

'Impossible! Father would never betray Mother! He would never cheat on his beloved wife and have a child with another woman... Never!' Maggie tried to convince herself, repeating the mantra in her mind.

But the more she tried to reassure herself, the clearer Scarlett Piers' face became in her mind, as if trying to torment her sanity. She clenched her hands tightly, attempting to suppress the curiosity and frustration that were gradually taking over her thoughts.

After a few more seconds passed, her anger still simmering inside her, she turned to Alan. "I need you to do a new investigation into Scarlett Piers," she said softly, though her words carried significant weight.

"Scarlett Piers? Milady, we've already done that... Haven't you received the report?" Alan asked, confident that his team had conducted the investigation a few weeks ago.

"I did receive your previous investigation, but all the information you provided was useless! I need you to do it again. This time, I want you to uncover every detail about her," Maggie declared firmly, her gaze piercing Alan.

"I need the report as soon as possible!" she added before dismissing Alan.

At Hospital.

After talking to Grandpa Robert and Francis, Scarlett excused herself to return to Carter's ward as Xander had mentioned he would pick her up soon so they could go home.

Scarlett was taken aback by what she witnessed when she entered the room.

"What the hell!! Can you guys stop making out here?" Scarlett's words shocked Zara and Carter, who had been kissing so intimately that they didn't hear a knock on the door.

"This is a hospital, guys!" she chided and then entered the room without waiting for them to say anything.

Scarlett took a seat in the seating area and called Zara to join her. Seeing how red Zara's cheeks were, Scarlett could easily guess the outcome of their conversation.

"So, how did it go?" Scarlett asked Zara, who had now taken a seat beside her.

Zara didn't immediately respond to Scarlett's question. Instead, she lifted her hand and showed her the ring on her finger.

"Scarlett, we're engaged!" Zara exclaimed happily.

"Oh, my god!! Congrats, Zara..." Scarlett was excited to see the beautiful ring on Zara's finger. She hugged her best friend tightly, sharing in her joy. She also cast a happy glance at Carter, who was smiling broadly on the bed and looking in their direction.

"Congrats, Carter... You better take good care of my sister, Zara. If you ever make her sad, you'll have to deal with me!!" Scarlett declared, sending him a sharp glare. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝙤𝒓𝙜

Carter could only chuckle hearing her warning. "No worries, sister-in-law. I'll never make her sad or let her suffer... I will protect her!" he promised.

Hearing Carter's words once again touched Zara deeply. She looked at him with teary eyes, still finding it hard to believe that she was engaged to Carter Riley, the man she had fallen in love with from the first moment she saw him.

Scarlett giggles, looking at how sweet Carter and Zara are now. It makes her feel envious, and suddenly misses her husband. Just before she wanted to text Xander, something came up in her mind.

"Zara, Carter... When are you guys going to tell Aunt Martha?" Scarlett's question instantly made the happy smile on Zara's face slowly disappear. Her hand that held Scarlett's hand tightened.

Zara was utterly speechless.

Earlier, she was so happy as Carter proposed to her. However, the happiness makes her forget about Carter's mother. Now, she is really nervous, especially considering that she and Carter are not the same age. She was much older than him, afraid his mother would not give them her blessing.

Seeing Zara looking worried, Carter quickly said, "I will talk to my mother tomorrow." His voice sounded calm. "Zara, my mom will definitely like you..." He smiles at Zara, trying to reassure her.

Zara didn't know how to answer Carter. She could only nod at him while trying to calm her nervousness.

Knowing her best friend's nervousness, Scarlett said, "Zara, what Carter said is true. Aunty Martha will definitely like you. She is one of the nicest aunts I ever met in my entire life..."
