Chapter 623 Scarlett and Raymond had practiced inside the gym for more than three hours yesterday, so they felt a little tired when they got up this morning.However, it was Monday. Scarlett would have a morning meeting at Mornet Corporation, so she had to rush over.As soon as Scarlett returned to her office after the hour-long meeting, Katherine knocked on the door. "Miss Reed, Miss Larson is downstairs at the front desk and wants to see you.""To see me?"Scarlett couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "Let her up."Scarlett didn't have to think about it to know that Jean had come to see her for Thomas.However, Scarlett wondered if Jean was too naive. What made Jean think Scarlett would help her since Raymond wouldn't even want to get involved?Soon, Katherine came up with Jean. Hearing a knock at the door, Scarlett clamped down her emotions. "Come on in.""Miss Reed."Katherine pushed the door open and led Jean in.Scarlett glanced up at Jean lightly. "Madam Shaw, wha
Chapter 624The smile on Scarlett's face gradually faded as she looked at the paternity test in front of her.Then, Scarlett glanced at Jean slightly. At that point, Jean, who was sitting opposite Scarlett, had regained her assured and confident expression on her face. Jean looked as if she thought Scarlett would change her mind after seeing the document.Scarlett withdrew her eyes and put the file back into the folder. Then she looked at Jean. "Madam Shaw, do you think this will work for me?"Jean gave a cold snort. "Although I don't know if this document will be useful to you, if I give it to the rest of the Shaw family, do you think Raymond will still be able to hold this position?"Scarlett snorted softly. "Then why don't you just take this document to Raymond? I think it's more of a threat to Raymond than it is to me. What makes you think I would meddle in Thomas' affairs just for this document?"Jean had to admit that Scarlett had hit the nail on the head with what she had
Chapter 625Jean stared at Scarlett for a moment. When Jean saw Scarlett standing there looking at her calmly all the time, she could only grit her teeth and leave.Katherine led Jean away. As she went out, she helped Scarlett close the office door softly.After the sound of closing the door broke off, Scarlett was left alone in the office. And the smile on her face instantly dissipated.The fact that Raymond was not related to Zacharie and Jean was a real shock to Scarlett.The fact that Jean had given birth to Raymond and then ran off with her lover was known throughout Juanton City. If anyone wanted to know about it, one could ask those people that had been in this circle for a long time, because they must have heard about it.Jean had also been scolded for years because of this incident. Although the Shaw family was very wealthy and influential, Jean became the most honored Madam Shaw of the Shaw family after Raymond's grandfather and Zacharie passed away. However, there were
Chapter 626Scarlett did come to Raymond because she had something to tell him. She didn't say anything else. Then she thanked the receptionist and went straight to the elevator.The other receptionist had already informed Frank, who took the call from the receptionist and knocked on the door of Raymond's office. "Mr. Shaw, Miss Reed, she's here."Hearing Frank's words, Raymond, who was sitting at his desk, moved his eyes. His hand holding the pen paused for a moment. "Is she coming up?""The elevator's coming up."Raymond closed the file directly in front of him. "Make a cup of brown sugar latte."Frank froze for a moment. He responded with a quick nod. "Yes, Mr. Shaw."Raymond had never been a coffee drinker. Although there were drip coffee bags of Colombian and Blue Mountain in the pantry, there were no drip coffee bags of lattes.Frank had to ask someone to run downstairs to use the coffee machine in the staff pantry to make a cup of latte. Just as he finished talking to th
Chapter 627Raymond raised a hand and wiped her lips. "What is it?"Scarlett looked up at him. She remembered the things Jean had told her an hour ago. Then she remembered the tone Raymond had used when he told her about his relationship with Jean not long ago, causing Scarlett to hesitate for the first time.Scarlett thought, 'Since Raymond is not a descendant from the Shaw family, whose child is he anyway?'Or maybe Raymond was just a tool for Jean to get into the Shaw family.If that was the case, it was really a brutal truth.The truth was a little hard for Scarlett to talk about at this point.When Raymond saw that she didn't say anything, Raymond's eyebrows moved slightly. "Did she scold you?"At his words, Scarlett snapped back to attention and shook her head. "No."She said as she lowered her eyes. Looking at Raymond's big hand in hers, Scarlett pursed her lips. "She showed me the file. It is about you.""What is it about?""The results of the paternity test between
Chapter 628Although Raymond was not a descendant of the Shaw family, Jean knew such a big secret. Therefore, Jean could still threaten Raymond. However, if the secret was exposed, the consequences would not be as good as she thought.Jean reckoned that Raymond had already learned the truth from Scarlett's mouth. And Jean believed that Raymond would soon have someone contact her. Jean would then have the leverage to negotiate for Thomas.Scarlett had been Jean's daughter-in-law for three years anyway. She reacted immediately to what Raymond had told her. "If that's the case, she's probably still waiting for you to throw yourself at her."Raymond gave Scarlett a look. "Then let her wait."Scarlett smiled. "Fine. Then let her wait."She'd like to see how many days Thomas could wait.Thomas really couldn't wait much longer. The victim was unwilling to come to an understanding with Thomas and insisted on pressing charges. And Thomas had committed a criminal offense and had not reach
Chapter 629Scarlett looked at Raymond not far away, took a sip of orange juice and looked at Alexis with a half-smile. “Or should I ask him for you?”“Ah! If you ask, there will be no surprise!”Scarlett smiled. “Then why did you ask me?”She even doubted that Alexis deliberately saved no surprise for her.Alexis smiled awkwardly, “It’s so stupid of me to ask this.”Scarlett gave her a meaningful look and said half-jokingly, “This isn’t the first time for you to be silly.”At this moment, Justin came along. Scarlett nodded at him and then walked away.Raymond returned to her side after making the phone call. The two of them were the hosts tonight. In fact, Scarlett’s social circle and Raymond’s didn’t overlap at all, but the atmosphere was quite harmonious tonight.Last year, Scarlett was encouraged by Alexis to sing on stage, but this year, Alexis dared not do so. She took Mark up to the stage and sang a song for Scarlett.Although she didn’t sing very well, all the listeners were am
Chapter 630Ten minutes later, Raymond drove his car into the villa.It was already 11:55 p.m. Scarlett yawned again before getting off the car. She looked at the two big bags of birthday presents in front of her, but at this moment, she was too exhausted to guess what those presents were.As soon as she turned her head, Scarlett saw Raymond handing over a gift box. “Happy birthday, honey.”“What is this?”Scarlett raised her eyebrows and reached for the gift. Then she stepped aside and slowly opened it.Scarlett had thought it was precious jewelry, but after opening it, she found it was a picture album. The cover was a picture of her waiting for Raymond at the gate of the City Hall on the day of their divorce, and she wore a red dress.Scarlett was stunned for a moment, and she found the album was full of her pictures after leafing through it.“I haven’t painted for a long time.”While Scarlett was wondering whether Raymond had drawn all these pictures, he made an explanation himself.
