Chapter 696Raymond didn't care what tricks Ryker would play. Anyway, Ryker couldn't beat him.Early the next morning, Scarlett knew Ryker's scheme.Yesterday afternoon the recording was spread in their circle. The photos of Jean and Raymond "quarreling" were posted on the Internet this morning.In fact, perhaps only Jean was making a scene. After all, Raymond didn't even bother to take a look at her.The photos and the recording of Jean admitting that Raymond was not her son were "leaked" on the Internet at almost the same time.Within a week, the rumor that Raymond was not Zacharie's son seemed to have been confirmed.Unsurprisingly, Tenton' stock price fell faster this time. Even Eric and Edward contacted Katherine, wanting to sell their shares.Obviously, seeing the dramatic change, many people realized that Tenton would be in turmoil.When bigwigs clashed, some ordinary people would get caught in the crossfire. Eric and Edward had intended to wait and see what would happe
Chapter 697Linley stayed in the hospital for more than two months. Scarlett asked the hospital not to let anyone see Linley except for Linley's parents, Scarlett, Katherine, and the people they brought over.Therefore, although Roland tried to harass Linley many times these two months, he was stopped by the guards.Linley had never seen Roland during the days in the hospital.She had almost forgotten that she was married.The moment Scarlett mentioned "divorce", Linley remembered that she had a terrible marriage and an awful husband.The smile on Linley's face suddenly faded. She felt a bit uneasy. "He won't agree, Scarlett."Roland wanted to force Linley to give up her property, but she worked hard for several years to earn the money. Why should she give it to Roland and another woman?Linley would never do that!As long as Roland didn't return her money to her, she wouldn't divorce him!If she remembered correctly, that woman was about to give birth to her child. She had a
Chapter 698"Please tell Raymond. I'll get even with him!"Ryker snorted, turning to leave with his secretary.Scarlett curved her lips, looking at his back. Her pretty eyes gleamed.Ryker seemed quite confident.Scarlett came out of her trance and went into the elevator.When she went up, there was someone else in Raymond's office. Frank came over. "Ms. Reed, Mr. Shaw is receiving guests. Please come with me.""Okay."Scarlett didn't sit for long before Raymond finished talking to his guests.Hearing his voice, she glanced up through the window. Raymond happened to look over.Scarlett smiled at him, mouthing a few words. "You're so busy, Mr. Shaw."Raymond gazed at her. His eyebrows moved as he walked through the door.Frank sent the guests away. Few people were on this floor since there were only the president's office and the secretary department here. Scarlett and Raymond were left alone in the meeting room.As soon as Raymond came in, he lowered his head and kissed he
Chapter 699"Okay, let's go."Raymond got up, giving her his hand.Scarlett put her hand on his palm with a smile. They went out of Tenton together.Frank booked a room for them at a new restaurant. The first floor was crowded. Scarlett and Raymond ran into an acquaintance as soon as they entered the restaurant.Scarlett looked at Alexander not far away. She raised an eyebrow. "Is that Alexander?"Could she be mistaken?Scarlett wondered why Alexander suddenly became a waiter in this restaurant, but she believed that her eyes wouldn't deceive her and she wasn't face blind.Alexander also didn't expect to see Raymond and Scarlett here. If he greeted them, his image as a rich man would be destroyed.No, he couldn't say hello to them or be recognized.Therefore, when Raymond looked over, Alexander covered his face with a tray and slipped back to the kitchen.Raymond just glanced at him. "Yeah, it's him."Only Alexander would do so many weird things.Scarlett couldn't help chu
Chapter 700Scarlett was amused by Alexander. "Mr. Smith, Raymond and I are not nearsighted or face blind.""Then you guys pretended not to recognize me, right?"Scarlett swallowed the soup before asking, "You didn't want to be recognized by us, did you?"She had a good point. Alexander was lost for words."Well, aren't you curious why I came here to work as a waiter?"Scarlett gave him a look. "Maybe this is your hobby. It's improper for us to ask about that."Alexander heard the sarcasm in Scarlett's words. He was upset. "How could it be? I work here just because I made a friend angry..."Before he could finish, the intercom in Alexander's pocket rang. He pressed a button on it. Someone asked him where he was and told him that several tables of guests were waiting for their food.Alexander answered that he got it. He then looked at Scarlett and Raymond. "Well, I'll explain that to you later. I've got stuff to do.""No need. we are not interested."Alexander had just walked
Chapter 701Scarlett raised her eyebrows slightly and answered ambiguously, "Guess."Raymond gazed at her until the traffic light turned green.On the way, Raymond didn't speak again.Scarlett thought he was angry. When they returned to the villa, she couldn't help asking, "Are you upset?"She wondered, 'When did he become so petty?'The next moment, she was pulled into Raymond's arms.Scarlett leaned on his chest and put her arms around Raymond's waist with a grunt."No."Raymond looked down at her, touched her face, and kissed her on the lips.Raymond carried her upstairs to the bathroom, put her on the sink, and turned on the shower.The water was cold at first, sobering Scarlett. She wrapped her arms around Raymond's neck as she smiled at him. "I'm going to Berlinton City tomorrow.""I see," he answered.Scarlett didn't know whether he understood what she said.The next day Scarlett was woken up by the alarm clock. She opened her eyes, looking at the ceiling. It took
Chapter 702When Scarlett walked out of the elevator, Katherine had got everything ready. "Ms. Reed, I've prepared all the information."Scarlett nodded, "Let's go and pick up Linley.""Okay, Ms. Reed."Katherine was prepared. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, she called the driver.Scarlett signed a document before going to Linley.Knowing that Scarlett was taking Linley back to Berlinton City today, Linley's parents were worried that Scarlett and Linley would be bullied.Linley's parents had been working hard for their daughter. Finally, their daughter got into a good college. They thought they could retire and relax. Unexpectedly, Linley suffered a lot at college and married a despicable man.Linley's parents were once schemed against by the Holden family. Mrs. Tucker was afraid that Scarlett would also fall into their traps. When they were leaving, Mrs. Tucker took Scarlett's hand. "Ms. Reed, I'm uncultured. I don't know how to say it. The Holden family are no
