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
Chapter 1143From elementary school to high school, Scarlett, Alexis and Justin went to school and went home together.Just because of the girl's words, Alexis directly asked Justin not to go with her and Scarlett anymore.Justin's face turned dark at that time, and Alexis fell into a bad mood. After speaking, she turned around and ran to the washroom to cry.Scarlett followed her to the washroom, but failed to stop her from crying after comforting her for a long time.This time, Justin probably really got angry, cause he thought that Alexis didn't like him at all. So, he didn't go to school and go home together with Alexis and Scarlett anymore. But he didn’t become that girl’s boyfriend.After the quarrel, Alexis and Justin seemed to become strangers suddenly. Though Justin wanted to talk to Alexis, she ignored him, so he had no choice but to continue with the silent treatment.Scarlett and Justin had similar personalities, as they were both quiet and silent. When Alexis was no
Chapter 1144Justin was an impressive top student. The head teacher was worried that the strict control would backfire, so he just gave a few words of admonishment and let them go.Alexis was almost slapped for no reason, but she was carefree. After knowing that Justin was not dating that girl, Alexis was happy again and came to Justin to ask for a birthday present.Without saying anything, Justin gave her the gift he had prepared long ago, "Happy birthday."It happened to be Alexis' birthday this day. If they were not reconciled, Justin would probably be unable to give it to Alexis."It's beautiful. I love it!"Justin gave her a necklace. Scarlett once saw it when she went to the mall with Alexis, but they were poor students, so Alexis could only look at it, though she liked it very much.Scarlett originally wanted to use her pocket money to buy it for Alexis. However, Justin came to Scarlett last month and said that he wanted to buy the necklace for Alexis as a birthday gift.
