The 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 | don't know if this document will be useful to you, if | 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? | think it's more of a threat to Raymond than it is to me. What makes you think | 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 said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtScarlett was right. The paternity test document would certainly be more useful for Raymond to see. However, Jean was not stupid, and she knew Raymond's personality very well since he had been her son for more than ten years.
If Raymond had seen the document, it was questionable whether Jean would be able to stay in Juanton City. Let alone if Thomas would be saved or not.
Since Raymond was able to let his grandfather personally point out that he should inherit Teuton before he died, how could Raymond be a naive guy? Zacharie had been Raymond's grandfather's son for 50 or 60 years. However, Raymond's grandfather didn't like Zacharie at all. Moreover, Thomas accompanied his grandfather every day. However, his grandfather preferred a heartless Raymond to Thomas as his successor before he died.
One could imagine how capable Raymond was.
Jean knew she was no match for Raymond. If Raymond saw the test result that he was not of the Shaw family bloodline, he would not sit still and keep her as a ticking tbomb.
In fact, Jean didn't want to fight with Raymond. And she had planned to take this secret to the grave. After all, she also knew that Thomas and Tiffany were incapable. Even if they had inherited the Shaw family’s fortune, they would have squandered it in no time. As long as Jean wouldn't reveal the secret, Tiffany and Thomas would be Raymond's siblings for the rest of their lives. After Jean passed away, Raymond would take care of Thomas and Tiffany anyway.
However, Raymond did not want to save Thomas. Therefore, Jean could only cto Scarlett to help her.
In addition, Jean could see that Scarlett had feelings for Raymond. Otherwise, Scarlett would not have put up with Jean whenever Jean tried to plot against Scarlett in those three years. If not for Julie's return, Scarlett might not have divorced Raymond! Jean dared to cto Scarlett for help with such confidence because of Scarlett’s affection for Raymond.

Scarlett leaned back on the couch behind her. She looked at Jean while laughing and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not like | don’t have any money. If he gets kicked out of the Shaw family, | can still take care of him.
"How could you--" Jean didn't expect Scarlett to react this way. She was now panicked and completely at a loss as to what to do.
Sthings could save one's life or kill one.
Now, Jean had told Scarlett what happened. However, given Scarlett’s reaction, Jean believed Scarlett would tell Raymond about it as soon as she got out of here! This was not the outcJean wanted to see! Scarlett looked at Jean. Seeing Jean keep blinking, Scarlett knew that Jean was panicking. Then Scarlett called out to Katherine, "Miss Lawrence, see her off." "Scarlett! Do you have any idea what this document means to Raymond?" Jean wasn't going to give up and was a little scared.
"I know, but I also told you that I'm not short of money. And | don't care if Raymond is a member of the Shaw family or not." What Scarlett said undoubtedly broke through Jean's last line of defense. "Fine. Since you won't help me, let's pretend we never met today. And you will pretend that you haven't heard what | have told you and haven't seen these documents that | have shown you." "Madam Shaw, that's funny. How can you pretend that something that happened never happened?" Scarlett said, glancing at Katherine, who had cin. "Miss Lawrence, send Madam Shaw downstairs." "Okay, Miss Reed." Katherine replied. She stepped forward and glanced at Jean. "Madam Shaw, please-
