"So, what's your company name?" He was curious. "...Scarlett, if you need money, tell me. I will try to find money to help you..."
Scarlett, "..."
"Thank you, daddy... But, currently, my company is doing well." Scarlett smiled at her father. "Dad, have you ever heard of Red Animation Studio?" she asked.
Even though the company only recently opened branches in Astington, RAS is very famous overseas because they are involved in making box office movies in Hollywood and Europe. Scarlett was sure her father must have heard about RAS.
"Red Animation Studio!? Yes, I know... That company makes movies and games, right!?" Jonathan replied, confused; why had his daughter suddenly asked about the multi-billion company?
"Yes, you're right. But Red Animation Studio is not a movie producer. They are only handled for animation or CGI. In other words, RAS is part of several box office movies." Scarlett smiled before continuing, "As for GAME, RAS is in the top 10 of the biggest GAME companies in the world..."
He silently listened to his daughter's explanation.
"Red Animation Studio also has many offices worldwide, and this year, RAS opened 1 branch office in the capital. That's why I returned to this country to lead this office..."
"WAIT! So you're saying, are you the director of the Astington branch of Red Animation Studios?"
Scarlett shook her head slowly, "Yes. But, I also... the company's founder, globally, not only in this country."
Jonathan felt his mind go blank as if there was an invisible black hole sucking up the contents of his head, too shocked to hear this news.
His little daughter, who founded a company of the caliber of Red Animation Studio?
'Could someone slap me? So I know this is real!'
It seems impossible, right!?
"Oh dear Scarlett, stop joking with your old father!" Jonathan chuckled at his daughter.
"Although your father is not a genius businessman, I know about other big companies. I know Red Animation Studio was founded a few years ago. If I'm not mistaken, 5 years ago? That time you're still in high school. There's no way you founded that company, right?"
Jonathan doubted her! After all, she didn't have the money to set up a company.
Scarlett, "..."
She knows it! Her father wouldn't believe it. That's why she didn't tell him immediately after returning from the US. Still, she waited until her office in the capital opened.
"Dad RAS was founded by me much longer than that. In the last five years, RAS officially became a company, legally..." She explained.
When Scarlett moved to the US, she met Harvey Olson, who recognized her talent. She started taking projects from Harvey Olson and made so much money in two years.
And after that, Rex Morrison helped her set up the company. And that's when Red Animation Studio started operating and developed rapidly.
"So you said, you founded Red Animation Studio when you were in high school!?"
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Hmm... Indeed. My company started during my senior year of high school."
It was hard to believe, but seeing the serious look in her eyes, Jonathan slowly felt she was telling the truth.
"Scarlett, you make me proud! And at the same time feel guilty for not giving you more attention when you lived in the US! I feel like a bad father..."
"Oh please, dad! Stop being melancholy. That was the past, and as I said before... I already forgive you. No need to talk about that anymore!"
Jonathan could only smile at her.
"Dad, just focus on your health and help me continue Ocean Group..." Scarlett took her father's hand and patted it gently. "Can you promise me, huh!?"
Jonathan maintained his smile but held back the sadness as he remembered his promise to Scarlett's mother that he couldn't keep.
'Mikayla, I'm sorry! I betrayed you. I made your daughter suffer. I hope you can forgive me….' He could only express the sorrow in his heart.
"Dad!?"
He cleared his throat before saying, "Mhmm, I promise!"
Jonathan quickly changed the subject, not wanting to drag on with his grief.
"Scarlett, you are old enough to get married. You better find a partner while I'm still alive. I want to see you get married and have kids." He intentionally brought this up, wondering if this girl would talk about Xander.
Scarlett almost choked on her father's sudden question.
Gosh!
After a moment of thought, Scarlett decided to be honest with him. "Dad, There's something I want to tell you."
"What is it!?" Jonathan asked calmly. Although inside, he was starting to rejoice. This girl was about to tell him about that handsome man.
"About the man you saw."
"Oh, Xander, right!? Who is he?"
"Dad, please don't be surprised. Well, Xander is actually my husband. We were getting married almost a month ago in the capital…." Scarlett paused when she saw her father's reaction.
Why didn't her father look as shocked or angry as she had imagined!?
Scarlett was puzzled!
However, not long after, something crossed her mind. She chuckled before asking, "Don't tell me... Dad! You already know!?"
Jonathan couldn't hold back his laughter...
"Hahaha, yes, yes... I know. I found out from Dr. Robert. Well, the old man accidentally called Xander your husband..."
Scarlett could only shake her head.
"Sorry, dad! I married secretly without telling you!"
"It's okay. As long as that man loves you..." Scarlett Gulp heard her father's words. "And, I hope you will formally introduce him to me. Invite him here when I'm discharged from this hospital..."
"Thanks, Dad, for understanding. Sure, I'll bring him to see you..." Somehow saying this sentence made her nervous. Worried that Xander will refuse to meet her father.
"Good... Good... Father will wait for you two. Ah, what family is he from? What's his last name?"
"His name is Xander Riley!"
"Xander Riley... What a beautiful name." He said, but a second later, his face stiffened. "Y-You said his name, Riley!? Which Riley!?"
Scarlett was speechless at how shocked her father was now.
"Riley, as in Riley Group. You might have heard that name before, right?"
Jonathan was stunned.
