Chapter 667It was time to tell Alexander, Stephen, and other friends that Raymond might not be the son of Zacharie Shaw.Ryker had always wanted to kick Raymond away from Tenton, but Raymond was Zacharie’s son and was capable of dealing with all the issues in the Shaw family. As Raymond's uncle, Ryker had no choice but to reluctantly quit.Jean went to see Ryker last night. She estimated that Ryker would do something. Soon, there would be news coming out from Juanton City.On the way, Alexander could not help but say, "Ray thinks that his relationship with Scarlett is more important than his relationships with bros.”Stephen was driving. He inclined his head and looked at Alexander. "Only for you. Don't take me with you."Stephen paused for a moment and said, "Call Jake. Let him come too."Alexander was about to retort when he heard what Stephen said. He was stunned and said, "What's the point of calling him? I called him this morning. He said he was busy with his classes and a
Chapter 668Raymond glanced at Alexander, "Yes."Stephen and Jake frowned. Jake pursed his lips and said, "Your father has passed away. Jean's evidence on this thing of whether you are Zacharie's biological son isn't sufficient."Stephen nodded in agreement, "Yes, everyone in Juanton City knew that she ran away with another man when you were just a few days old. It's not a hard thing to accept that you're not her biological son. Besides, your father has passed away for almost ten years. As for Jean's alleged paternity test, except her, who knows who it is with."Raymond answered, "I'm okay with all that. I'm telling you this because she went to meet Ryker last night."Alexander was very angry, "Is she conspiring with Ryker to kick you out of the Shaw family?"The expression on Raymond's face didn't change, and Scarlett kept a faint smile.This big news really surprised these good friends of Raymond's.Scarlett picked up a poker and smiled, "It's hard to prove that if Raymond is
Chapter 669Raymond's eyes darkened. "Baby, don't play with me here."Scarlett was sweating from the exercise, and her face burned even more at his words.She struggled to get off him. She moved a little. "Let me down.""Hold me tight, baby."Right after that, Raymond held her in his arms more tightly.Scarlett's arms were around Raymond’s neck. She looked up into his eyes, "Aren't you going to let go of me?" Raymond's eyes flickered. Then he cupped her cheek with both hands, moved her chin forward, and kissed her red lips. Compared to her kiss on his lip a moment ago, Raymond's kiss was more passionate, which could set her on fire. After the kiss, they collapsed on the mat. They both gasped for air. Scarlett's eyes were closed and she heard Raymond's heart pounding. So abruptly, the boxing room was so quiet. Neither of the two said anything. After about two minutes, Raymond sat up. He inclined his head to look at Scarlett, "Shal
Chapter 670Scarlett flushed. "Why are you getting more and more lovey-dovey?"Raymond looked at her red cheeks. His eyebrows twitched. "Are you done?""Yeah."She didn't have many things to do. Katherine sent her two emails. Those were not urgent documents but were related to Monday's meeting. She happened to be free, so she came over to read them."Can you rest now?"Scarlett turned off the computer. "Yes."Just as she got up, she was picked up by Raymond.Scarlett subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck. She looked at him, her eyes glistening. "What do you want to do, Mr. Shaw?"Raymond didn't say anything. After carrying her back to the room, he put her on the bed, leaned down, and kissed her on the face. "I want to kiss you."After saying that, he kissed her lips and chin.Scarlett was tickled by him, gently pushing his shoulders. "It tickles.""Does it tickle here?"Raymond pointed at her lips. Without waiting for her answer, he bent down and kissed her.The
Chapter 671Scarlett and Raymond guessed right. Jean came to Raymond on Friday night, but they failed to reach a deal. Thomas's case would come to trial soon. Jean had no choice but to go to Ryker.Raymond talked with Jake and Stephen about this on Saturday. They all said that Ryker would take action within a few days.It was a peaceful day yesterday, but things changed dramatically on Monday.Scarlett had just come out of the meeting room when she saw Katherine looking at her. There was a trace of hesitation in Katherine's eyes.They had been colleagues and friends for many years. Katherine was always concerned about Scarlett.Seeing her like this, Scarlett couldn't help smiling. "Do you have something to say to me?"Katherine came out of her trance as she saw Scarlett smile. "Ms. Reed, Mr. Shaw...""Don't worry. He is poor now, but I'm not."Katherine was embarrassed. She was not a snob. Although Katherine insisted that Raymond was not good enough for Scarlett, Raymond had b
Chapter 672Scarlett curved her lips. After handing the documents to Katherine, she picked up her phone and checked the message. Unsurprisingly, it was about Raymond. "Lettie, I heard something today. They said Raymond is not a Shaw family child. Is this true?""There is no absolute proof that Raymond is not Zacharie's son."Alexis replied with an emoji after a minute. "Then it's not true. That's good. Otherwise, he would be unworthy of you."Scarlett gave a wry smile. "Don't talk nonsense."She thought for a while and added, "Do not believe and spread rumors. I'm going to eat something."Scarlett closed the chat page and got up, intending to go out for a meal.The news that Raymond was not Zacharie's son had just been released by Ryker. Scarlett received many messages of concern.There was a dinner party in the evening. Both Scarlett and Raymond were invited.Scarlett used to be the center of attention when she was with Raymond, but now things were different. Because of the r
Chapter 673Scarlett was aware of Harold's eyes on her. She didn't expect that Harold would dare to covet her.Harold was so bold.Scarlett withdrew her eyes, smiling at Raymond. "Alexander is over there."Raymond's face softened. He nodded. "Yes."There were a lot of their acquaintances at the dinner party. Besides Alexander and Stephen, Libby and Darrell were also here.Probably because Scarlett did Libby a favor at the auction, Libby was not as hostile to Scarlett as before. "Ms. Reed."Scarlett looked at her with a faint smile. "Ms. Jones. What a surprise!"Yet they were rivals, not friends.Just after greeting Libby and the others, Alexander and Stephen walked over."Raymond, Scarlett."Alexander raised his chin and glanced at Libby. "Libby, you're here.""Alexander."Libby called him. Knowing that the four of them were familiar with each other, Libby sensibly left with Darrell.After walking a few steps, Libby looked back at Scarlett who was standing beside Raymond.
Chapter 674Darrell smiled. "She is indeed awesome."If it were him, he wouldn't have the courage to start from scratch.Libby's mouth twitched. "What is the lie?""She's just eye candy."Libby snorted. "Both are praises."Darrell was afraid that she would get angry. He explained, "Don't misunderstand. I mean maybe she used her beauty to get what she wanted."Libby stared at Scarlett smiling slightly not far away. Scarlett seemed easy-going and gentle but was very difficult to approach.Libby didn't believe Scarlett was that kind of person. "You don't have to slander her like this."Darrell laughed. "Don't you hate her very much?""People are always jealous of those who are better than they are, and they don't want to admit it.""I know."Libby understood, but she just couldn't forget the past.Scarlett didn't know that Libby thought a lot after meeting her at the party.Seeing Jake come over, Scarlett put down her juice glass and left, leaving the four men alone.Just a
