Scarlett connects with the O'Hara clan in Savannah, where she learns that her grandfather has offered Scarlett his inheritance only if she remains with him until his death and cuts ties with her father's family. Scarlett refuses and agrees to join cousin Colum to Ireland. By this time, Scarlett realizes that she is pregnant with Rhett's child but keeps this hidden. In Ireland, Scarlett is heartily welcomed by her kin. She soon receives a notification of divorce from Rhett. She makes plans to leave for America but learns that Rhett is now married to Anne Hampton, said to resemble Melanie. Heartbroken, Scarlett decides to remain in Ireland. She works alongside lawyers and leaves her two-third share of Tara to her son Wade (fathered by her first husband, Charles Hamilton, brother of Melanie), buys Ballyhara and settles down in Ireland, to her family's delight. She and Colum tell everyone that her husband died rather than that she was divorced.
