Scarlett and Raymond guessed right. Jean came to Raymond on Friday night, but they failed to reach a deal. Thomas's case would come to trial soon. Jean had no choice but to go to Ryker.
Raymond talked with Jake and Stephen about this on Saturday. They all said that Ryker would take action within a few days.
It was a peaceful day yesterday, but things changed dramatically on Monday.
Scarlett had just come out of the meeting room when she saw Katherine looking at her. There was a trace of hesitation in Katherine's eyes.
They had been colleagues and friends for many years. Katherine was always concerned about Scarlett.
Seeing her like this, Scarlett couldn't help smiling. "Do you have something to say to me?"
Katherine came out of her trance as she saw Scarlett smile. "Ms. Reed, Mr. Shaw..."
"Don't worry. He is poor now, but I'm not."
Katherine was embarrassed. She was not a snob. Although Katherine insisted that Raymond was not good enough for Scarlett, Raymond had been very good to Scarlett in the past few months.
Not long ago, Raymond rented all the screens in Juanton City to celebrate Scarlett's birthday. After that, Katherine changed her opinion of Raymond and accepted him as Scarlett's boyfriend.
Katherine just didn't expect things to come to this in a few days.
It was a big deal.
Raymond was not a Shaw child. That was, he couldn't inherit Tenton.
If that was proven to be true, Raymond would have to give everything he had to Thomas.
Raymond would be pitiful if he lost Tenton.
Katherine remembered something. "Ms. Reed, the receptionist said that when you were in Deeton City, a woman named Jane came looking for you."
Jane?
Scarlett raised an eyebrow. "I see."
After that, Katherine left the office.
The day after the wedding day, Jane and Joe went to the City Hall to get a divorce. Jane's reputation was ruined. Her family was also in trouble. Scarlett knew what Jane came for.
After eleven o'clock, Scarlett signed the last document. Her phone on the desk lit up.
It was a message from Alexis.
