Chapter 1237Scarlett had just woken up, and her mind was still a little unclear. Only when she had been sitting up for a long time did she finally regain some of her consciousness. She pulled the quilt a little up. The room was very quiet. Although Raymond had lowered his voice, she could hear a few of his words, "Wait until my wife wakes up. Yes, put it off for half an hour."After hearing Raymond's voice, when Scarlett just looked in the direction where the voice had come from, her eyes happened to meet Raymond's.Raymond hung up and walked toward her. Seeing her sleepy eyes, he moved his dark eyes and touched her cheek. "Are you still sleepy?" Scarlett shook her head and rubbed the corner of her eye. "No."As she spoke, she turned her head to glance out the window. "It's dark now."Raymond responded. Then, he brought her clothes, put them on the bed, and reached out to carry her. Suddenly picked up by him, Scarlett subconsciously threw her arm around his neck. Rememberin
Chapter 1238The Chinese food that Raymond ordered was delivered half an hour later. It tasted much better than Scarlett had expected.Scarlett had little appetite on the plane. After she got to the hotel, she went straight to sleep. Now she had just woken up and felt very hungry. After the meal, Raymond asked her if she wanted to go downstairs for a walk. Scarlett shook her head slightly, "No. Aren't you going to RayPal Corporation for a meeting tomorrow?" "It doesn’t matter." Scarlett looked at him with a smile and said, "But it's so cold outside." Scarlett didn't like going out on cold days.Seeing that Scarlett didn't want to go, Raymond stayed in the hotel room with her. The room was equipped with a home theater system. Raymond chose an art movie to watch with Scarlett. Scarlett slept so long in the afternoon, and with the jet lag, she wasn't sleepy at night. She didn't fall asleep until nearly three o'clock in the morning. Raymond ac
Chapter 1239Hearing Raymond’s words, Mendes's face changed, "Uh..." "Mr. Fandel, my wife is pregnant, and she can't smell smoke." Raymond’s voice sounded calm, but Mendes could feel cold sweat trickling down his back. He dared not say anything but nodded again and again, "Yes, Mr. Shaw. I'll rearrange another private room right away!" He turned around, walked into the private room beside him, and then came out to ask the manager to rearrange it. Raymond looked at it with an indifferent face and thought, ‘It’s impossible that Mendes couldn’t tell Scarlett was pregnant. Knowing that Scarlett was pregnant, he actually arranged such a room. Obviously, he is not attentive. He has been the boss here for a bit too long. He thinks he is omnipotent, doesn't he?’Scarlett glanced at Raymond. Noticing he was silent, she pulled his clothes, "Is it appropriate?" Raymond looked down at her, "What's wrong with it? You are pregnant and can't smell smoke. It's a reasonable request." He smok
Chapter 1240Compared with Rick’s aggressive questioning, Raymond’s words were more daunting.Looking at Raymond, Rick was intimidated. But as Rick had experienced many things, he calmed himself down immediately. "Mr. Shaw, it seems that you are not sincere enough. You’ve been late, and now you even ask all of us to change a room.""Mr. Buckley, Mrs. Shaw is pregnant. We should be considerate!"Some people wanted to make peace, but Rick ignored them and continued, "You ask us to go to another private room. Is your wife more important than us?"Raymond would definitely give an affirmative answer. When Mendes heard this question, he felt embarrassed for Rick.‘Who is more important, Mrs. Shaw or us? Mrs. Shaw is definitely more important.’‘How can Rick ask such a silly question?’Raymond narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming colder. "You’re nothing compared with my wife."Then Raymond lowered his head slightly and looked at Rick in the eye.His expression was so icy that
Chapter 1241Raymond didn't care what the others thought. He took Scarlett and went straight into another private room. Scarlett got seated and took a sip of water, and then she asked, "Willie's is an old business, isn't it?" Willie’s Corporation was Dan Cotet’s company. Scarlett was not intimidated by them but felt that it would be a profitable business if Tenton worked with Willie's. Raymond cast a glance at Scarlett. He handed her the menu and answered, "Yes, it is, but it's not the only good business in the industry." Scarlett immediately understood what he meant. She looked down at the menu and ordered two specialties of the restaurant. She then handed the menu back to Raymond, her chin resting on her palm. "Am I to blame for the incident today?" Raymond knew Scarlett was joking, but he wouldn't allow anyone to have that idea. He grunted as he flipped through the menu, "They wouldn't dare say that." Then he made his order. Just as they finished ord
Chapter 1242When Raymond returned to the hotel in the evening, he received the information and knew where the problem was. Mendes became arrogant in recent years. A few years ago, the headquarter of Tenton was in turmoil, and Mendes actually wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get some money. Unexpectedly, a few months later, Tenton finally recovered. When Raymond had an accident, the headquarter naturally did not have time to manage those branches, and Mendes was the boss in this branch. Originally, he just wanted to use his position to make unregulated money and then leave quietly, but when he found that no one knew his behaviors, he became bolder. Afterwards he teamed up with a company to buy the fake instruments as imported ones. The price of an instrument ranges from tens of thousands to tens of millions. Over the years, batch after batch of fake instruments were purchased into the company as formal instruments, and hundreds of millions of money went into Mendes'
Chapter 1243When Scarlett woke up the next day, it was already bright in the morning. The light was filtering through the curtains that were not completely closed. She was left alone in the room. Raymond was not here.Raymond had gone to the company. Scarlett fumbled for her phone and saw Raymond's text message sent five minutes ago. He asked her if she was awake.Scarlett texted back and got up to wash up.Just as Scarlett moisturized her face, a hotel waitress brought over her breakfast.Raymond came back just after 4 pm. There was an icy aura about him, and he still looked angry.Scarlett reached out to Raymond, and he picked her up. His expression softened as he stared at her. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. "Honey, do you want to go somewhere?"Scarlett raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment. "Forget it. It's so cold, and it's not very convenient to go out."It had been snowing for the past two days. Scarlett looked at the snow falling outside and
Chapter 1244Scarlett and Raymond got in the car and went to the airport. Just now, Scarlett ate a little too much, so now she was somewhat stuffed. Raymond took off the gloves from her hand and warmed them, "You have eaten too much?" She leaned against him, "A little bit." Raymond smiled while his hand fell on her belly and gently stroked it. Feeling comfortable, Scarlett did not refuse. They arrived in Juanton City at twelve o'clock, and Frank came to pick them up in person, "Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw." "Frank, thank you so much." "You are welcome, Mrs. Shaw, it’s my duty." As he said, he pulled open the car door. Raymond put his hand on the car's roof to prevent her head from being knocked, and then he also sat into the car. The car started moving, and Frank asked, "Mr. Shaw, do we need to send someone over there?" Frank also heard about what happened yesterday. Jim was sent there not long ago. Although Jim was competent for Mendes's position, his original position needed to b
