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
Chapter 675Hearing this, Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "Why did you ask me that?"Cindy pursed her lips, trying to tempt Scarlett. "He's poor now. He doesn't deserve you. Stephen is different. He's handsome, intelligent, and wealthy. He will inherit the James family property. You're a good match! Besides, if you marry into our family, I promise I'll give up my inheritance and give it all to my nephew!"Scarlett was amused. "Does your brother know you have such a bold idea?"Cindy laughed. "No."It didn't matter if he knew about that or not. Cindy believed that Stephen would fall in love with Scarlett because she was so wonderful.Cindy worshiped Scarlett blindly. Scarlett was her goddess.Scarlett stroked Cindy's head. "If you want a sister-in-law so badly, just try to find one for your brother."Scarlett thought, "Don't always put your eyes on me. I don't want to get entangled with another man."Cindy was embarrassed. "Scarlett, my focus is on you, not my brother. I want you t
Chapter 676After that, another woman added, "That's good! Raymond will be poor if he's driven out. Let him and Scarlett be together forever."One of Yvonne's friends laughed. "It will be wonderful if Scarlett goes bankrupt. Then they'll be well matched!"A woman tutted. "You're right! They should spend the rest of their lives together. Yvonne, fortunately, you are not with Raymond. Otherwise, you would be in trouble!"Yvonne seemed delighted. "When Raymond is kicked out of the Shaw family, remember to take a video for me! I want to see how pitiful he and Scarlett are!" She laughed out loud.Cindy couldn't control herself and was about to say something, but Scarlett spoke first. "I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about me and Raymond."Scarlett stepped forward gracefully in her high heels.She smiled faintly at the three women. "By the way, thank you for your blessings. Raymond and I are indeed a good match. We'll be together forever."After saying that, Scarlett crinkled
Chapter 677It was not late when Raymond and Scarlett left the hotel, and it was only around eight o'clock in the evening.There were a lot of vehicles on the road. Scarlett tilted her head to look out of the window. Suddenly recalling what Cindy had said, she couldn't help but laugh.Hearing her laugh, Raymond blinked his eyes and asked, "What are you laughing at?""Nothing. I just thought of something interesting.""What?"Scarlett tilted her head to look at him. She was about to speak when she saw Raymond’s expression suddenly turn cold. Then Raymond’s car that was traveling at normal speed was suddenly turned sharply and immediately bumped into the trees.Scarlett almost fainted due to the airbag. And it took a while for her to recover. When she reacted, she quickly asked Raymond, "Raymond, how are you?""I’m okay."The other car was directed straight at them. In order to protect Scarlett from being injured, Raymond sharply steered the steering wheel right. So, the other c
Chapter 678Scarlett heaved a sigh,"Bad luck."It was bad luck to run into a drunk driver."You're not injured, are you?""No."Alexis let out a sigh of relief. It was rare that she didn't want to chat with Scarlett, so she asked Scarlett to have an early rest.Scarlett was indeed a little tired. After the car accident, her head had been hurting.She stopped the chat and thought for a moment. She called Katherine and canceled the morning meeting tomorrow.Raymond soon came out of the bathroom. Scarlett stopped thinking and turned to look at him. "Does the accident have anything to do with Ryker?"If Ryker wasn't stupid, then he shouldn't have played these dirty tricks.It was only this morning that the news came out that Raymond was the member of Shaw family. The two met at the dinner party at night. If Ryker arranged this car accident, then his intention was too obvious.Raymond came over and raised his hand to touch her face. "No, he's not that stupid."Scarlett snorted.
