Chapter 1135'If I go abroad, I can't return home anymore!'Caroline looked down at the air ticket in her hand. After a while, she turned around, tore up the ticket, and threw it into the trash can beside her.Her parents and everything she had were here. If she went abroad, she could relax for the time being. But she could only be abroad for the rest of her life.Devin gave her 300 thousand dollars last night, which was far from enough to support her life abroad.Devin called her just now. It was obvious that he was going to give up on her.Caroline had expected him to do this, and she never counted on Devin to really save her.Now she had no way out but to save herself.Caroline had stood at the airport for a long time. She knew that almost no one in Juanton City dared to provoke Raymond.She regretted now that she had provoked him. But this had already happened. She had no other way out but to find a way to face and solve this matter.Frank had always been a steady man. Al
Chapter 1136Scarlett smiled, "Secretary Lewis shouldn't really want you to come back."Raymond scooped up the soup and put the bowl in front of Scarlett. "Ignore him.""Mm-hmm."Scarlett didn’t mean for real. What's more, Frank couldn't affect Raymond.Raymond left for Tenton at 8:30 in the morning. Scarlett wanted to go to the garden to see how the roses were growing, but suddenly it started raining, and the weather became cold. So Scarlett didn't want to go out and get wet. She took out the hydrangea that Raymond bought last night, re-trimmed it, and then put it in a new vase.As soon as Raymond arrived at Tenton, Frank bobbed up and said, "Mr. Shaw.""What’s wrong?""Caroline didn't get on the plane. She's still in Juanton City."Raymond frowned when he heard Caroline's name. "If she doesn't leave, I’ll get even with her.""Okay, Mr. Shaw."Frank didn't dare to say anything else. He knew that Raymond hated Caroline very much.The meeting started at 9:30 a.m. and ended
Chapter 1137 Soon, the assistant walked up to Caroline. "Miss Moody, Mr. Shaw asks you to go upstairs."Caroline nodded and put her suitcase aside. "Thank you."On the way, Caroline was very nervous because she didn't know if Raymond would be interested in her "leverage".While she was lost in thought, the elevator doors opened. Then, the assistant stepped out first. "Miss Moody, please..."Caroline had just stepped out of the elevator when she saw Raymond's secretary, Frank, waiting for her. Although Frank was very polite to her, she didn't know why she felt that Frank was looking at her with some indifference.She walked over to him, and there was a chill running down her spine."Miss Moody, Mr. Shaw is inside."Frank took Caroline to the office door, knocked on the door, and soon heard Raymond's voice. "Come in."Hearing this, Frank pushed open the office door and let Caroline in.The office was large, and Caroline saw Raymond at first glance.When she thought about wha
Chapter 1138Caroline stood there, not daring to move. Seeing Raymond come out, Frank hurriedly walked over to him, "Mr. Shaw." Glancing at Frank, something came to Raymond's mind, "Tell Caroline that if she wants me to let her go, then she'd better be smart and get Devin out of the city." Frank nodded, "Okay, I'll let her know." Raymond certainly had a way to get rid of Devin, but Devin was obviously a reckless guy who didn't care about anything. If Devin himself didn't want to leave the city, even the Roach family couldn't do anything about him. If Raymond was to get Devin out of the city, it would take him quite a while. But now Scarlett was pregnant, so Raymond didn't want to see the annoying man in Juanton City again. After giving his order, Raymond left the company. It had started an early autumn rain last night, and the rain hadn't stopped yet. Raymond parked his car outside the market. Then he held a black umbrella and walked i
Chapter 1139Alexander would celebrate his birthday at the end of this month, and naturally, Scarlett and Raymond had prepared a great gift for him.Although the celebration was extravagant, only people from their circle were invited, and the guests were mostly of their age.Scarlett knew most of the guests, for during the three years or so after she had married Raymond, Jean had purposefully taken her out to attend various entertainments, and that was when Scarlett got to know the faces.It could be said that she had met almost every wealthy person in Juanton City.Back then, those wealthy figures were not all very friendly towards Scarlett, for Raymond and Jean treated her poorly.However, now things were different since she had become Mrs. Shaw and the president of Mornet Corporation. Besides, she was also recognized as a granddaughter of the Tank family. No one dared to have a bad attitude towards her.But anyway, the guests tonight were all Alexander’s friends.Friends of
Chapter 1140Cindy didn't think much about it. When she remembered that Alexis had a son not long ago, she asked curiously, "Scarlett, I heard that Alexis' husband bought all the bags on the show in Peech for her. Is it true?"In the entertainment industry, people all knew that Alexis liked to collect bags.At the show of a famous brand in Peech last week, all the bags had been bought by an anonymous person from Jakesville.At first, the news was spread in the fashion world. Then people in Jakesville also heard about that. Some netizens noticed that Alexis' bags on Twitter were from the show, but she was recuperating at home after she had a son. In general, it was impossible for her to attend the show and buy bags. Soon, someone leaked that it was Justin who arranged for someone to buy bags from the show for Alexis.It brought a hot discussion on Twitter these days. Netizens said that Alexis was so lucky that she met Justin who treated her so well.Even the busy Cindy had heard a
Chapter 1141The interesting thing was that Alexis was fond of Scarlett. Justin was unhappy but could do nothing about it.Although Alexis and Justin were neighbors, Alexis liked to stay with Scarlett. Alexis always accompanied Scarlett home after school and then collected bottles while going home with Justin.Justin had been adorable since he was little. His family was as poor as Alexis', but he was always clean and neat. Thus, the girls in his class liked to play with him.Alexis was thin and dark as a kid. She had always been carefree. Probably because she was too young at that time, she was unaware of her feelings for Justin. Therefore, when other girls wanted to be Justin's deskmate, Alexis was not annoyed. Instead, she ran to Justin and said, "So I can do share the table with Scarlett, and you can also have a new deskmate. You won't be alone."After hearing this, Justin had been angry for almost a month.Justin was also amused by Alexis. He still returned home with Alexis a
Chapter 1142The boy instantly got angry, and so did the other boys under his command. One of them grabbed Justin's collars and shouted that a mere nobody like him shouldn't care so much. Justin slapped the man immediately after saying, "She does like it."This was the first time Justin had fought others for the sake of Alexis. Although he was fierce, he could not fight many people alone. Later, their teacher came and pulled those boys away. Justin had high scores at school, but his fight at the school gate had a very bad influence, so he got a demerit on his school record. Then, a year's scholarship for him was gone. After learning it, Alexis cried a few times secretly. Later on, when she received Justin's love letters again, she would put them into a bag and pretend to throw them away. Alexis was not so lucky in the High School Placement Test. Lacking a few points, she was not placed into an honor class. Scarlett knew that Alexis could not enter an honor class, but she he
